[MP3] Kisses reMix Haim

Hot on the heels of their new single and new album announcement, LA ElectroPop duo Kisses, a name soon to be on everybody’s lips, have dropped this reMix of the name that is currently on everybody’s lips, Indie-Girl trio Haim and their track Send Me Down.

Kisses turn the track into an indescribably warm six minutes of lush DiscoPop. With a nod to the poolside and hot LA nights, Kisses manage to keep the quirky Indie feel to the tune whist adding heaps of sexy summer groove. With those smokey vocals to work with, Kisses deliver a suitably odd-ball version of Disco, with enough eccentricities to stay true to the original, but enough of a dancefloor vibe to keep crowds moving.

♫ Haim- Send Me Down (Kisses reMix)

Send Me Down is the B-side of Haim’s current single, Don’t Save Me, out now.

[Audio] Ghost Beach reMixed by Summer Heart

Three days ago we told you the New York DiscoPop duo Ghost Beach would be releasing a track from their forthcoming reMix EP every week. Three days ago! Three days ago we introduced you to Shook’s reMix of Been There Before. Three days isn’t a week, and here we are with Swedish DreamPopper Summer Heart’s take on Faded. Not that we’re complaining mind. “Bring ‘em on” we say!

To say Summer heart’s version of Faded was a blissful wave of synthetic dreams would be an understatement. Actually. Summer heart mixes up a little Nu-Disco with healthy doses of Chillwave and Dreamwave and moulds the song into a tide of reverb drenched snyths. gritty, undulating synths stand back to back with chirpy Sci-Fi blips and speaker filling strings. Ghost Beach’s original vocal just lend the track another layer of drama. Another great tune form this EP, more to come from Penguin Prison, Gigamesh and Chad Valley.

♫ Ghost Beach – Faded (Summer Heart reMix)

[Audio] Aeroplane reMixes Pool

In his second reMix of the week Aeroplane keeps up the pressure. Turning his attention to German Indie band Pool’s Flex single, Vito delivers another slice of upbeat ElectroPop, this time weaving some of the original’s guitars into the mix and slowing things down a little, whilst sounding faster.

Normally we’d rather he excised the guitar, but right here it sounds amazing. Keeping that funky little lick actually makes the track. This is nicely juxtaposed by a growling analog bass and the brightest of synth riffs. This has the result of turning the hazy Folk of the original into an infectiously catchy Pop tune. Once again Aeroplane has taken a mediocre track, and turned it into gold. Surely it’s time for an Aeroplane reMix album?

Pool’s Flex is out now on Solomun’s 2DIY4 label.

[MP3] Moon Boots’ ‘No One’

American Nu-Disco producer Moon Boots is a generous fella, always giving away free tracks. the man had an awesome 2012, where he really came into his own and carved out a name for himself, cementing his wider reputation. He’s kicking off 2013 in fine form with this new track, No One.

This one is a nice mix of Topical and House, mainly House though. Premièred on The Magician’s last mixtape, No One is a dreamy ol’ slice of late night Boogie. The ex- Hey Champ!-er lays down some silky smooth sounds over a classic 909 beat. Dropping in a silky vocal line is just the icing on the cake for this five minutes of warm 90s House. We’re hoping to hear a lot more from Moon Boots in the coming months, we’re sure he’s going to rock our ears.

[MP3] Justin Faust’s ‘La Fête’

It feels like ages since we’ve had a new original tune from German Disco king Justin Faust, the man has been busy producing some of the best reMixes of the past year, but we do love it when an original comes along. Apparently this is a tune that Mr. Faust has been playing out for a while, so it’s a tried and tested track that JF and Discotexas are giving us for free.

If you’re looking for a big Disco part tune, then look no further. La Fête revolves around sumptuous horns and a swirling vocals hook for a beach party groove with an otherworldly twist provided by some Cosmic keys. The lead riff has got an almost arabesque feel to it too, again adding to the magical vibe. Underneath it all though, is just a full-on party starter.

[Audio] Shook reMixes Ghost Beach

This almost slipped past us. Late last week Crazy Heart Records unveiled the new reMix of New York DiscoPop duo Ghost Beach’s Been There Before, by none other than the Dutch musical Funk master Shook. The track is part of a series of remixes from the likes of Penguin Prison, Gigamesh, Chad Valley and Summer Heart that will be dropped weekly, culminating in a full reMix EP release at the end of March.

Shook, of course, works his vintage disco magic on the track. The reMix is loaded with the Dutchman’s typical Moog Funk basslines and 70s disco pops and pows. Presented in a laid back groove, with Shook’s jazzy electric piano at the forefront, the track is the prefect melding of Shook’s 70’s Disco and Ghost Beach’s tropical sounds. One for late night dancefloors and lazy poolside days.

[Audio] Lenno reMixes Nabiha

When there’s a new Lenno track in town, we have to take notice. The young Finnish producer is easily one of our favourite artists to emerge in recent year. Whenever we’re in the mood for some uplifting, big room, Disco sounds he’s our go-to guy. he’s presented something a little different with his new reMix, this take on Danish/African diva Nabiha’s recent Mind The Gap single is a little more laid back and soulful that we’re used to from Lenno, but it’s an excellent addition to his repertoire.

Mixing his Disco and House roots with an almost 90s Nu-Soul, or Acid Jazz flavour, Lenno delivers a tune that is as dancefloor friendly as it is fit for enjoying a drink in the summer sun. A sweet mixture of piano hooks and a upbeat brass section give the track quite a live feel whilst keeping it’s Dance Music roots and following the structure of the song, allowing Nabiha’s big vocals to really shine. Lenno really is at the top of his game, few of his contemporaries come close.

Lenno’s reMix of Mind The Gap is released on disco:wax Records’ reMixes Part 8.

[Audio] New tune from Daze

French Electro Disco producer Daze is gearing up for the release of his latest EP, to be titled Solar, which is apparently in progress. In the meantime he has dropped this previously unreleased tune to tide us over and it;s got us really looking forward to the EP.

Thinking About You is French Disco done right. Funky as all hell and build from massive sounds. A sweet vocoded vocal hook give the track structure in a track that harkens back to Daze’s Foundations EP. It’s the arrangement here that really shines though, wich drops and builds in just the right places and innovative fills to transition between the two. A definite floorfiller, roll on the EP.

[Audio] Arvo Prime

Some heavy and melodic Electro now from relative newcomer Arvo Prime. In the past few months this German producer has racked up a fairly impressive volume of tunes on his SoundCloud. Obviously influenced by Ed Banger Records and the French Electro scene, it’s rare for an up-and-coming artists to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with their inspirations, but Arvo Prime does just that with ease.

Lin is his latest tune and, as with all his tracks, the lazy thing to do would be to compare him to Justice, which I’m sure will happen to this guy a lot. But many time he out-Justices Justice on sheer musicality of his tunes and production style. Lin is an epic, baroque, Electro tune, crammed full of complex melodies and a pounding Electro groove. Au Château is out favourite of his tunes. Powered by a Moog Funk bassline and more of his piercing baroque lead lines this could have easily been on any number of Ed Banger Releases. Proper medieval Electro gold.

♫ Arvo Prime – Lin

♫ Arvo Prime – Au Château

Also check out his entry in the reMix contest for What You Want, one of the only listenable tracks on the new Boys Noize album. This slab of Industrial Funk was rated as one of his favourites by Ridha himself.
