Penguin Prison reMixed by Goldroom & Disco Bloodbath

penguinprison

Disco Bloodbath take Penguin Prison on a trip to the deep side.

This low groove, almost progressive, reMix of Penguin Prison’s ‘Fair Warning Pt. 2’ is both hypnotic and engrossing. Utilising pitched down vocals just adds to the body shaking flow of this track with just the right side of too much cowbell. Binary and NightWaves man Josh Legg’s Goldroom project’s reMix has been getting some serious mixtape love, and deservedly too. It’s grabs the track and drags it straight to the beach for a party. Summery vibes and good times are on the cards with Goldroom’s mix, full of flying arpeggios and uplifting chords.

Shook reMixes Penguin Prison

Shook just drops amazing reMix after amazing reMix!

This time he’s turned his attention to Penguin Prison’s current single ‘Multi-Millionaire’ and covers the track in his lavish synth Funk. Squelchy Moog basslines and sweet leads are front and centre with a stellar electric piano solo. ‘Multi-Millionaire’ was one of Penguin Prison’s most Disco’d tracks to date anyway, but Shook adds the Funk to the ElectroPop mix in a melting pot of smooth radness.

‘Multi-Millionaire’ is out now.

Penguin Prison ‘Multi-Millionaire’ reMix package for free

Penguin Prison had dropped a whole package of awesome reMixes of his ‘Multi-Millionaire’ single for free on his website.

This bundle of Mixes not appearing on the forthcoming single includes work from Graphics, Prince Language, Random Elements, Robert Owens and this track from Lancelot who brings a nervous synth line and some deep Electro grooves to the track, it’s my personal favourite of the set.

Oliver reMixes Penguin Prison

Oliver, the duo consisting of U-Tern & Oligee, are playing a prefect game. Not a bad release so far, making them one of the most exciting production teams of the year. Their new reMix of Penguin Prison’s ‘Fair Warning’ is jaw-droppingly good!

This track is so 80’s, Oliver have taken the Indie-Electro of Penguin Prison and tuned him into Nik Kershaw, and I mean that in the best way possible. With Olvier’s slick contemporary production this could quite easily be a modern remaster of an 80’s 12” extended version. The prefect meeting of 80’s songwriting and Dreamwave studio skills.

I love a bit of Penguin Prison, both live and recorded, so keep that in mind when I say Penguin Prison has never sounded so good!

No idea of a release date for the ‘Fair Warning’ single yet, we’ll let you know when we do.

Penguin Prison: ‘Golden Train’ reMixes

Penguin Prison’s new single ‘Golden Train’ is less than a month from release. I used to call PP Bedroom Pop, I’m not sure if I still can, his sound had defiantly got bigger and the new single is the best example of this so far.

Some awesome reMixes grace the single too. Sam Sparro delivers what i consider to be the best, it’s a Disco Pop workout that got an infectious groove that’s just a suited to the dancefloor as the radio. UK outfit Boxed In turn in a broken Techno/Disco mix with added Jazz piano!

‘Golden Train’ is shaping up to be an excellent single package!

Penguin Prison’s new single!

What’s this ‘ere then? Why, it’s only the new single by Bedroom Pop genius Penguin Prison as débuted this weekend on Radio 1.

Probably the most upbeat, Disco-y track he’s dropped so far, ‘Golden Train’ is just pure smooth ElectroPop. And when I say smooth, I mean smooth, there isn’t much smoother than this, this side of Chromeo.

Penguin Prison reMix Kylie’s new single

Ahh, Penguin Prison reMixing Kylie Minogue’s new single ‘Get Outta’ Of My Way’, that’s exactly the kind of chaser I need right now!

What can I say? PP’s BedroomPop/Bedroom Disco lends itself to Kylie perfectly, while the original is an awesome slice of DiscoPop, this reMix is more intimate and, well, groovy! It’s got this almost Lo-Fi Indie Funk with it’s subtle guitar jangles and toy town synth work.

Nice Friday groove, enjoy!

♫ Kylie Minogue – Get Outta’ My Way (Penguin Prison reMix)

‘Get Outta’ My Way’ is released 27th September.

Monarchy & Penguin Prison reMix new Jamiroquai single

Mid-90’s funkateers Jamiroquai are kicking back this year with a new album and someone on team Jamiroquai has good taste when it comes to picking reMixers ‘cos you can’t get better than Monarchy and Penguin Prison!

‘White Knuckle Ride’ will be the lead single from the forthcoming album ‘Rock Light Dust Star’ and it gets transformed into two awesome slices of DiscoPop by Monarchy and Penguin Prison. Both versions are top quality but if I had to, gun to the head, favour one I think it would be Monarchy’s ElectroPop/Nu-Disco slant (although PP’s had a wicked lead line!)

Penguin Prison & Passion Pit

Things have been quite in the Penguin Prison camp for a few weeks now, the guy’s been studio bound working on his forthcoming début album.

He’s taken some time out, though, to drop this awesome reMix of Passion Pit new-classic ‘Little Secrets’. Reinventing the track for this summer, Mr. Prison drops some intricate drum programming and a hypnotic piano break that just draws you in and carries you along until the string laden finalé.

This mix is gonna’ make any day feel summery!

♫ Passion Pit – Little Secrets (Penguin Prison reMix)

Penguin Prison is looking to release his album later this year.
