Mason & Róisín Murphy reMixed by Human Life and Oliver $

Mason and Róisín Murphy’s ‘Boadicea’ is finally out! It seems like ages it’s been slated for release.

The reMix package for the single boasts an awesome line up, including the amazing Evil nine and this killer mix by some of our favourite LA ElectroPoppers Human Life, who appear to have gone for the full on Chicago House workout, complete with massive stabs and acid burbling. If anything can be said about this reMix it’s that it’s fun as hell and commands you to move your feet!

While Oliver $’s reMix is a deep, deep, deep techy House track that is aimed squarely at late night dancefloor action.

Juan Atkins Vs. Oliver

Juan Atkins is The Man, I used to love Cybotron way back when, and right now one of the names to keep an eye on is Oliver, Dreamwave/Nu-Disco dup made up of U-Tern & Oligee. A track that brings the two together is more than I could have wished for.

And I love the result, it’s got it’s Disco Funk turned up so high. Cut-up talkbox vocals, laidback Funk bass, big bright 80’s synths, what more could you want? The whole EP is being given away for free by Scion A/V reMix, which is awesome ‘cos this track alone would be worth the price of an EP!

Oliver

A month or so ago I completely missed out on posting a couple of tracks by Oliver, they just slipped though the net and I never got round to it. Which is a pity as they were on my mp3 player pretty heavily. This week they dropped a couple of new reMixes, that allows me the opportunity to make up for it.

The two Olivers in Oliver are Vaughn Oliver (U-Tern) and Oliver Goldstein (Oligee), awesome producers and reMixers in their own rights, who have teamed up to drop some funky Nu-Disco on the masses. Their first new tracks, ‘All Night’ and ‘Walk With Me’ , boast the most powerful of power 80’s synth chords atop some slammin’ Disco grooves. ‘All Night’, particularly, is like Filter House and Dreamwave wrestling naked in jelly while ‘Walk With Me’ is slightly more cinematic, in the sense that you can’t listen to it without imagining a bunch of kids dancing in the street in legwarmers.

♫ Oliver – All Night

♫ Oliver – Walk With Me

This week Oliver let loose two reMixes. The first, of Dance-Pop act Black Cards’ new single ‘Dominoes’ is pure Robo-Disco, as if Kraftwerk made Nu-Disco while playing Nintendo and their truly epic reMix of Chromeo’s forthcoming ‘Hot Mess’ single, which is spine-tinglingly good and has a power riff that has to be heard to be believed.
