[Audio] Garth Knight’s ‘Neuron’

Garth Knight

Here’s the new one from Glasgow based SynthWaver Garth Knight who brings a nice combination of retro synth and Disco to the table, with a little Italo twist. Neuron is actually the funkiest thing we’ve heard from this guy to date, and is well worth considering for your X-mas party soundtrack.

Neuron kicks off with a slick, cut-up, Disco sample before launching itself into a bouncy Italo bassline and some seriously haunting synths.. When the tree elements come together the track delivers a nice burst of energy, drawing the track toward a nice bit-crushed breakdown. When the tune slams back in the mix of Disco groove and vintage synth emotion is powerful stuff. Guaranteed to keep them dancing, and loving it.

[Audio] MNDR reMixed by RAC

MNDR

The awesome MNDR’s current single, Feed Me Diamonds, from the amazing album of the same name has has a radical going over from RAC. The collective have completely stripped down the track and rebuilt it in a funky new form.

André Allen Anjos took up the RAC reigns for this one, removing all the quirky ElectroPop and replacing it with a solid Disco groove that rests on a piano hook and popping groovy bassline. And for such a departure from the original it really works. There’s a nice hint of plucked strings from the original in the chorus that adds a kind of dancefloor drama in this context. This is what a reMix should be, completely different from the original but just as good.

[Audio] Pat Lok reMixes Goldroom

Goldroom

We love it when our favourite producers work together. Just look at this pairing. The inventor of Dreamwave, deliverer of electronic bliss Goldroom with is (not Saint Lou Lou anymore) SLL featuring Sweetness Alive, as reMixed by Canadian’s top party starter Pat Lok. Before you listen, just think about that for a second. Yes, it is as good as it promises.

Pat’s Dip And Drop reMix continues down this Disco don’s journey into the realms of deep 90s House. With a jackin’ sound Lok contrasts Goldroom’s laid back sunset vibes with a pumping warehouse sound. It;s no wonder that The Magician chose to include this tune in his last Magic Tape, it’s a total floorfiller, with just enough of a retro feel to keep people smiling, but a large contemporary sound. most of all this track;s a lot of fun, can’t wait to hear it out, and we will no doubt.

[MP3] Cavaliers Of Fun’s ‘Last X-Mas’ cover

Cavaliers Of Fun

There’s just not been enough X-mas tunes this year. But fear not, thanks to ‘The ever-awesome Holographic People’ we can exclusively début Cavaliers Of Fun’s cover of Wham!’s 1984 classic Last Christmas. Well…if you’re going to cover an X-mas song, that got to be pretty high up on your list. So relax and enjoy some pumping Electro-Disco Funk with added X-mas cheer.

You can’t help but smile all the way throughout this tune. There just something about the combination of Ricco crooning his way through those lyrics everyone knows a killer post-Italo bass groove and layers and layers of magical synths. According to Ricco “[Rain]deers are replaced with unicorns and sleigh-bells with cowbells.” and it certainly sounds like it. This has definitely made it’s way straight to the top of my X-mas playlist, to be played on repeat at the coming X-mas parties.

[Audio] Ryan Riot reMixes Passion Pit

Passion Pit

Swiss Dreamwaver Ryan Riot is topping of his year with this classy reMix of Passion Pit’s Carried Away. As the reMix contest for this track draws to a close we’re sure to be inundated with version of this tune for the next couple of weeks. Damn reMix competitions. Still, Ryan is onto a winner here as he injects the track with a playful Disco groove.

Keeping the structure of the track intact, Ryan gets funky with it and has a good time with a popcorn riff and pounding, infectious, bass hook. the track perfectly the captures the spirit of Passion Pit, that summery Indie goodness, but drags it kicking and screaming onto the dancefloor. Surely this track is a winner, we can’t imaging a more fitting Passion Pit reMix than this, this is how all Passion Pit reMixes should sound.

[Audio] The C90s’ new track

The C90s

We’ve Got Love is the new track from London Disco duo The C90s. We’ve been pretty eagerly awaiting some new material from these two for a while, recently their efforts have been concentrated on mixtapes and some storing DJ spots, but Danny and Jamie are now back with this infectious slice of Indie-Disco.

With a strong New York Disco/DFA groove, We’ve Got Love is their first original track since 2010’s Shine A Light (although both Danny and Jamie have produced as other projects, most recently Earl Grey for Danny) and shows that they haven’t been wasting their time. Honing their skills and sliding toward a smooth sound that is part Disco, part introspective Indie with heaps of retro cool. The beats in this track are almost B-boy and give tune a solid base for a pulsating bass, magical synths and a hushed vocal, all intersected by a funky Superstitious lead line. We’d definitely like to hear more like this please.
