Russ Chimes. Midnight Club. Part two.

Seconds out! Round two! (But first watch part one!)

Director Saman Keshavarz’s mini-movie to accompany all three tracks on Russ Chimes’ forthcoming EP ‘Midnight Club’ continues with part two, ‘Tertre Rouge’.

The story is unfolding, but in even less of a linier fashion than part one. Still, things are coming to light, there’s shit you should know, man! I’ll let you just watch.

Musically this is my favourite track to come from the EP so far, this is like a mixture of classic, Valerie days Chimes and this year’s super reMixer Chimes, and a perfect combination of the two.

The 3rd and final video premieres 9th September and the EP is coming out in October.

Russ Chimes – Midnight Club Part 1

Here it is! Part 1 of Russ Chimes’ ‘Midnight Club’ EP and accompanying video directed by Saman Keshavarz. Not only an I loving the music, awesome Nu-Disco a cut about the rest of the pack, but also the narrative Saman is laying out to be continues in parts 2 and 3 of the EP.

‘Never Look Back’, track 1 of the EP, is a frantic Disco laden tune. If you, like us, have loved Mr. Chimes reMixes in the past two year you kinda’ know what to expect. With this EP he’ll set the bar for Nu-Disco that much higher and the first part of the ‘Midnight Club’ mini-movie, well, I won’t spoil it for you but suffice to say I can see some ass-kicking going on in parts 2 and 3!

The video for Part 2 of the EP is coming 1st September, the EP should be out in October.

Russ Chimes’ EP trailer!

Seems like it’s been forever waiting for Russ Chimes’s début EP to be released, but now, judging from the EP teaser he’s premiered, it looks like not only do we get an EP, but possibly a mini-movie too!

I do love music videos that tell a story!

The music sounds as top quality as we’d expect from Mr. Chimes too.

the more I watch the video the more exited I get about this release, both musically, and now, visually too!

Russ Chimes reMixes Ronson

Mark Ronson’s current single ‘Bang Bang Bang’ (Featuring ElectroPop artist MNDR and Q-Tip, ex of A Tribe Called Quest) is actually pretty good. It’s got a real old school Electro Funk feel to it and is generally pretty darn banging.

But, oh look! Russ Chimes has got his hands on it (and, as we know, his hands have the Midas touch) and, keeping the elements that made the original groove, has transformed it into a monster disco workout. We really cannot wait to hear what Russ’ EP will hold, I hope he releases it while the weather is still good, I have a feeling it might just end up being the soundtrack to my summer…if it’s out in time!

‘Bang Bang Bang’ is out now.

Sunday Girl, as mixed by Russ Chimes

SundayGirl

The tide of catchy female fronted ElectroPop continues to rise and washed up on the beach today is Sunday Girl. Coming from out of the blue (her MySpace is barely a month old) she’s already gearing up for her début release for which she’s bagged reMixes from Russ Chimes and Diplo!

Russ works his usual magic here, vastly improving on the original (which I found promising, but a little lacklustre) really bringing out something special in the vocals that wasn’t initially apparent and setting them over some serious Disco arpeggios and a sweet electric piano breakdown.

‘Four Floors’ is released 20th March, until then:

Russ Chimes + Cassette Kids

CassetteKids02

Russ Chimes is back again to wreck shop! This time he turns his attention to Australian Electro-Indie outfit Cassette Kids and looks set to stop a hole in music blogland once again!

Just how the man manages to keep up the pace of pushing out huge mix after huge mix is a mystery. The width of the reMix is immense with layer upon layer of vocals and soaring synths tied together with Russ’ trademark Disco beats and basslines. Big House reMix is a pretty apt description!"

Cassette Kids forthcoming album ‘Nothing On TV’ has been produced by Van She’s Michael DiFrancesco! the ‘Spin’ single is out 8th March and also features reMixes from Bang Gang, Cassian, Cassette Club and The Vanish!!!

Fabian get new reMixes and a TNUC video!

Fabian

Fabian’s ‘Heatwave’ was originally featured on Binary’s excellent Dreamwave/SynthPop compilation ‘Binary Presents: LA Lights’, one of the standout tracks of the album, it was pure 80’s movie party scene montage soundtrack and created quite a bit of blog hype last year.

Now, not only are Binary dropping a superb reMix package but the track has been given the TNUC video treatment. TUNC is a video creator/editor, sometime reMixer, blogger from the 80’s(?) and all round purveyor of good taste, you can check the visuals he came up with for the track here.

The almighty, blog destroying, Russ Chimes contributes to the reMix line up and really excels himself with the bassline and soaring synth work he lays down. Also along for this night drive are Werewolf By Night, one of my personal favourite Dreamwave artists with an uplifting, ringing, feelgood take and Short Circuit who bring things straight back to the dancefloor with their cut up electro.

Russ Chimes Vs. Ellie Goulding

EllieGoulding03

I was gonna’ post this last night but I was so tired when I got in. This morning though, it’s all over the Blogosphere! And well deserved attention too!

Débuting over at Neon Gold’s blog this match of Ellie Goulding and Russ Chimes really is a match made in heaven, rivalling even his, frankly amazing, reMix of Marina And The Diamonds’ ‘Mowgli’s Road’.

Tackling ‘Starry Eyed’ is no mean feat, it’s a genius song to begin with and Russ achieves the impossible by giving it more energy and more epicness! Y’all know Russ’ style by now, well imagine his particular band of French House/Dreamwave/Nu-Disco turned up to 11 with the huge sing-along ‘Starry Eyed’ over the top, it really is that good!

OMG! The piano breakdown and kick back in! Shit, man, I got goosebumps!

Ellie Goulding – Starry Eyed (Russ Chimes reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

‘Starry Eyed’ will be released on 22nd February with reMixes from Penguin Prison, Jakwob & Monsieur Adi, followed by Ellie’s album ‘Lights’ on 1st March.

Marina’s made my week!

MarinaAndTheDiamonds03

Seriously! Ever since these two reMixes of Marina And The Diamonds forthcoming single, ‘Mowgli’s Road’ (Originally the B-side of ‘Obsessions’), dropped into the electronic rumors inbox I haven’t been able to stop listening to them.

And don’t make me pick between the two, I couldn’t do it. Mille’s rework is upbeat with a bouncing bassline. It’s arpeggios and strings brilliantly capture the epicness of the original while Valerie man Russ Chimes brings his 80’s styled disco funk to the track and then hits you with massive electro breakdowns.

Two seriously good reMixes:

Marina And The Diamonds – Mowgli’s Road (Mille reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

Marina And The Diamonds – Mowgli’s Road (Russ Chimes reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

Check the original too, in all it’s quirky brilliance!

‘Mowgli’s Road’ drops on November 16th and can be pre ordered at PureGroove, it comes B-sided with a cover of Late Of The Pier’s ‘Space And The Woods’.
