[Audio] Plastic Plates’ ‘Nothing Like You’

Hot on the heels of his collaboration with Sam Sparro, here’s Felix Bloxsom, better known as Plastic Plates’ new single. Getting it;s long awaited release at the end of the week on Sweat It Out!’s Club sweat imprint, Nothing Like You serves up five minutes of feel-good party sounds to kick you into the summer.

Slickly spreading some punchy Nu-Disco keys over a rock solid House beat, Felix brings the irresistible dance vibes to your speakers with this one. A chopped-up, soulful, vocal sample neatly ties the track together while warping synths bubble in and out of focus, allowing the track to ebb and flow with them. All underpinned with a stuttering funky bassline, Nothing Like You is a dancefloor workhorse that’s guaranteed to keep ‘em happy every-time.

♫ Plastic Plates – Nothing Like You

Plastic Plates’ Nothing Like You is released 21st March.

[Download] Miami Horror’s ‘Real Slow’ reMixed by Plastic Plates

We featured the new, comeback, single from Aussie ElectroPoppers Miami Horror last month. Real Slow features some tight vocals from Superhumanoids’ Sarah Chernoff and is a sweet slice of chilled DiscoPop. To make things even better, the tune has been versioned by one of our favourite producers, Mr. Felix Bloxsom A.K.A. Plastic Plates. The LA based Australian producer really gets his synthetic groove on with this one.

plastic Plates truly delivers the thick electronic vibes right here. A growling and squelchy synth funk bassline pulses away underneath waves of popping melodies and vintage stabs. A new rhythm give the tune a bit more of a jump-out-of-your-seat feel, and a pretty irresistible one too. Rolling along on a steady hook, it;s the choruses when this reMix really shines, loaded with big synths hammering away, complimenting Chernoff’s vocals to carefree effect. Another big tune from Plastic Plates.

[Audio] Plastic Plates reMixes Nile Delta’s ‘Aztec’

The man that is Plastic Plates, Felix Bloxsom, has had an awesome music year. Or, actually, we should say we’ve had an awesome musical year being on the receiving end of is amazing output in 2013. Well, the year isn’t over yet, and next on Plastic Plates Italo chopping block is the new single from Nile Delta. You’ll know by now that Nile Delta is Joel Dickson, formerly of the amazing Riot In Belgium and one half of Voltage and released the Aztec single this week on Cut Copy’s Cutters Records imprint.

Plastic Plates mix of Aztec bounces along on a intricate popping melody that slowly builds into a full-blown, hands-in-the-air piano hook. With an array of analog synths weaving in and out of the track, a enticing vintage vibe is maintained while the original’s vocals flow from hushed to epic along with the track’s rise. More amazingly solid work from Plastic Plates

[Audio] Plastic Plates reMixes The Aston Shuffle’s ‘Can’t Stop Now’

The amazing Plastic Plates is on a roll. After a couple of months of silences Felix Bloxsom is following up on the première of his new single with another new tune a mere three days later. His new offering comes in the form of this reMix for Australian ElectroPop duo The Aston Shuffle and their forthcoming new single Can’t Stop Now.

The original version of the track is pretty full-on, commercial, big room Electro, which Plastic Plates turns into something a little deeper and groovier. Serving up a heaped plate of synthetic Disco, Felix brings together an Italo bassline, a House beat and popping arpeggios in a tasty Nu-Disco sauce culminating in a laid back, but effortlessly body moving tune that uses the vocals of the original in anthemic ways. The single also hold mixes from Special Features and Matisse & Sadko and one we are particularly interested in from the one and only Lenno.

The Aston Shuffle’s Can’t Stop Now is released 16th September.

[Audio] Plastic Plates’ ‘Come On Strong’

Felix Bloxsom A.K.A. the awesome Plastic Plates, has finally poked his head out from his studio and furnished us with a brand new tune, and it’s been a while. With this new tune he’s no only sowing off a new direction, but that he’s lost none of his talent for moving the dancefloor.

Come On Strong is pure House. Even Plastic Plates most recent track, his reMix of Para One’s Every Little Thing, back in March, still had a strong Disco undercurrent, but Come On Strong is 100% Chicago warehouse fodder. Working both an early 90s House sound and a more contemporary club vibe, Felix effortlessly commands the tracks six minute length, creating an every building symphony of deep basses, hypnotic vocal samples and hammered Rave leads that’ll have you reaching for the white gloves in no time. An excellent example of both jackin;’ and Deep House that’s already being supported by the likes of Alex Metric, Aeroplane, Touch Sensitive, and Cassian.

[MP3] Plastic Plates reMixes Para One

This isn’t on official reMix…it should be, but it isn’t. Plastic Plates, that LA centre of excellence, has really knocked it out of the park with his new mix. Having got hold of the vocals for Para One, Irfane & Teki Latex’s Every Little Thing (which was already an awesome tune) Felix apparently couldn’t resist the opportunity to add a little of his synthetic disco to the track.

Plastic Plates just has an ear for this stuff, perfectly balancing a laid back vibe with a solid dance groove he strips down the track and build it back up again out of his own robotic mirrorball pallet. Keeping the vocals intact (it’s an excellent song, why wouldn’t you?) Felix rocks the song in his own particular synthesizer Disco way. Easily the best of the reMixes, including the official package, of this track.

[Audio] Plastic Plates reMixed by Bufi

This reMix of Plastic Plates’, Simon Lord featuring, Things I Didn’t Know I Loved is a nice little extra. Not featuring on the single, it comes as part of Kitsuné Music’s Kitsuné Club Night Mix #3 compilation, mixed by main man Gildas. It;s by Mexican producer Bufi and is perfect Friday night material,

Bufi Houses things up a little, mixing a nice digital Disco bassline with a big piano House riff to fun, summery effect. This mix is all about dancing and good times, injecting the track with a lively carnival vibe and enough dancefloor power to keep it moving. A nice Balearic breakdown adds a little touch of sunrise awe right in the middle of a solid groove.

[MP3] Plastic Plates reMixes The Presets

This is easily the best reMix of the new material from Australia’s kings of ElectroPop The Presets so far. Coming from one of our favourite producers Plastic Plates, this reMix follows his recent trend of reworking single from Aussie Indie-Electro acts and this time he really gets to 100% spot-on.

The track, Plastic Plates’ reMix of The Preset’s forthcoming now single, Promises, strikes a nice balance between synthetic Nu-Disco and 80s SynthPop. it’s got a solid Disco groove that builds into nice big-room sound, but pairs this with some really interesting synth flourishes. There’s a percussion style arpeggio that has got more than a little of a Yazoo vibe to it, couple that with Julian Hamilton’s dry vocal wit and you’ve got a track with classic dancefloor appeal but a deep retro soul. Great Job all round. You can download the MP3 for free at the link below, and be sure to check out The Preset’s new album, Pacifica, it’s pretty stunning.
