[MP3] Cavaliers Of Fun reMix Young Digerati

So, it would appear that LA based Dreamwavers Young Digerati are no more. I’m not sure when (or if) this was announced, but according to the blurb with the latest reMix from Cavaliers Of Fun, that’s the facts. Which is a pity, Young Digerati had a lot going for them but never really seem to hit their stride as far as releasing material went. I get the feeling there was some bad management in the mix too. They shall be missed.

What we are left with, though, is this reMix Cavaliers Of Fun did of unreleased track Aquiel, and it’s a beautiful send off for the guys. Cavaliers Of Fun delivers a Cosmic Dreamwave blissfest. Who says electronic music isn’t emotional? No-one who’s heard Cavaliers Of Fun’s gently, nuanced work on this track, that’s for sure. Bouncy basslines play side-by-side with intricate melodies and smooth, heartfelt solos, creating a track that moves your feet and your soul (if that existed). Young Digetati’s song, an uplifting summery anthem, glides effortlessly over the top. A fitting final salute.

[Audio] Mjolnir & Dini

Here’s the latest tune from our favourite Indonesian Disco dudes, Mjolnir. Recorded exclusively for OZ Radio Jakarta as their monthly theme song, Mjolnir roped in singer Dini to provide a vocal touch to their smooth Nu-Disco sounds.

Fashion Star is a lovely slice of modern Funk. From it’s infectious synth bassline to it’s lush 70s Disco strings, the track just pops. Intercut with thick retro stabs and Cosmic synth flourishes, Fashion Star builds itself around a warm electric piano hook and Dini’s catchy vocal with every part of the track coming together to form a laid back, feel good, vocal Disco tune that seems to put you in a good mood, whatever you’re doing. Mjolnir really need to get to work on a new EP, we’re gagging for more.

[MP3] Hey Champ return

Chicago Indie-Electro trio Hey Champ make a triumphant return this week with a brand new single. It’s been a while for these guys, over a year since their last single and we are very glad to have them back. Always a sure bet for epic ElectroPop tunes and Nu-Disco reMixes, their new single, Cliché is no exception.

Catchy and bouncy, Cliché is the fist of a host of new material the guys have lined up for the coming months. Combining the best of ElectroPop with a Disco groove, Hey Champ deliver a classy, uplifting sound that has evolved over time but not lost any of their quintessential Hey Champ-ness, featuring the warm pads, the French-esque Disco vibe and the passionate vocals that’s always marks their work. A very welcome return.

[MP3] Ali Jamieson’s ‘Four Thirty’ EP

So tracks just take their time. We first featured London producer Ali Jamieson’s Four Thirty in it’s demo form back in 2011. Ali’s been pretty busy since then working begin the scenes for MofoHiFI and their sister label Heavy Disco and their amazing roster of artists, but it’s now his time to step into the limelight as Four Thirty finally gets a full release.

Four Thirty, as we mentioned last time it featured on these pages, is a wicked mixture of Synth Funk vibes and dirty Nu-Disco. A chugging bassline and some gritty synths give the track enough balls to earn the Heavy Disco title, but this is nicely off-set by some dreamy vintage synth stabs and twisting Funk melodies. reMixes on the single come from Holmes Price, Alizzz and these two gems from 5eya and Data/Debt. 5eya takes the track down smooth new roads with his laid back deep Disco mix. Dropping a hazy vocal sample into the ix adds a special touch to his reMix, sitting pretty amongst the waves of chilled sounds. The Robo Funk is turned up to eleven on Data/Debt version of the track. With a slight Italo flavour, Data/Debt unleashes some euphoric House hooks that roll atop a pounding futuristic groove. Awesome stuff. Did we mention that the whole single is free?

[MP3] Earl Grey reMixes Kido Yoji

Toady seems full of old track that are just seeing the light of day, and sound amazingly fresh despite their age. Check out this reMix from Danny Ashenden, better know as one half of The C90s, in his Earl Grey guise. It’s of Kido Yoji’s Won’t You Come Again? that, for one reason or another, didn’t make the single. It’s two years old (Kido’s not even realising solo track any more), but it sounds as fresh as anything you’ll hear this year.

Maybe the future Funk was just too futuristic for Yoji’s label? Who knows? What we do know, though, is this tune lays on the laid back synth Fun, thick. The Tokyo producer’s beloved talkbox vocals fit like a glove with Earl Grey’s blissful beats. Like a sunset on a alien shore, this reMix nicely combines a chilled beach groove with a touch of Cosmic Disco. If you like your synth sound spacey, and your Disco relaxed, then this is the tune for you.

[Audio] Moon & Walker reMixed by Ride The Universe

Moon & Walker are a new Australian duo (or are they?), so new in fact that they haven;t got a web presence we can link to, so you’ll just have to take our word for it that they exist. Well, our word for it, and this storming reMix of their début single from Dreamwave superheroes Ride The Universe.

Love A Little More get’s a blissful, Funk fuelled, Nu-Disco workout from Dreamwave’s A-Team. Like sunshine pouring out of your speakers, which, in the middle of January, is awesome. it’s got everything we’ve come to expect, nay demand, from RtU. No-one rocks a smooth groove quite like these guys. Complex Disco basslines and buzzing retro synths breezily wash over the most laid back of beats as Ride The universe mix a little of their trademark talkbox into the track. With a pinch of stardust sprinkled on their beach party RtU bring their eternal summertime into our lives once again. This is music for hot girls to dance in slow motion too.

[MP3] Cassette Club X Ben Macklin X Yota

London Producer Ben Macklin is having a really prolific six months. Not only has his main outfit, Cassette Club come back in style, but this new solo release, featuring the vocals of Yota (Lifelike/Zoo Brazil/DLG), come hot on the heals of his Sometimes collaboration with Vern. His latest single, Controller, also comes with a reMix by the aforementioned Cassette Club, which he is generously giving away for free.

The Cassette Club reMix of Controller is a lush slice of urban Dreamwave. A warm, dreamy Disco track with a smokey, inner-city vibe, the track rolls along intertwining Yota’s ethereal vocal with vintage pads and razor sharp leads atop a sturdy dancefloor groove. As well as a slightly Italo Funk, this tune has a mysterious quality to it. One that captures all the promise of summer nights in the city with it’s infectious bassline and it;s beat that won’t sleep. One for the nightowls.

[MP3] Dimitri From Paris reMixes Breakbot

Last week, we tweeted and posted on G+ “If I was writing this week (as opposed to starting again on Monday) I would be writing about this!” in regard to Dimitri From Paris’ reMix of Breakbot’s Break Of Dawn. Since that tweet that track has received a fair bit of coverage, not least because it’s a free download, but we haven’t found anything in the past seven days that we would rather write about, so it gets a post anyway (even though, if you follow is on Google+ or Twitter you’ll have probably already heard it).

The last few months have been a revelation in respect to Dimitri From Paris, we’ve featured him a lot over the years on electronic rumors, but in 2012 he really knocked out socks off. The man has two tracks in our favourite reMixes of 2012, and I can tell you that was very nearly three, and it looks like he’s busting into 2013 in the same fashion. Break Of Dawn is the opener of Breakbot’s acclaimed début album, By Your Side. A gliding, slick, 70s Disco tune that, in Dimitri’s hands, become a late 80s ElectroPop monster. Funky digital bass and little Disco licks give it an Electric Soul vibe whist the B-Boy beat lends a necessary punch. A fantastic way to start the year.

[MP3] OhYeah’s ‘Pleazur’

A bit cold where you are? A bit snowy? Which X-mas incoming? Well let German Disco producer OhYeah warm you up a little with a splash of Tropical vibes and a whole heap of dancefloor heat in his new tune Pleazur.

With a Boogie bassline and some lilting Island percussion, Pleazur slowly builds, introducing you to it’s hypnotic groove bit-by-bit, until it hit it’s piano hook. From then on it it’s a steady paced mix of intoxicating hooks and vintage synths that all work their way towards the tracks blisteringly smooth finale. A little slice of Funk tinged dancefloor euphoria that points to big things happening for OhYeah in 2013.
