The Magician’s ‘I Don’t Know What To Do’ EP

themagician

In exactly one months time The Magician unleashes his début solo single, ‘I Don’t Know What To Do’, on Kitsuné Music.

By now you’ve already heard the original track, featuring Jeppe on vocals. It’s got that hypnotic late ‘80’s House piano sound and Jeppe’s anthemic chant combine with thick, lush synths to make a track that will uplift dancefloors worldwide. the EP is chock full of awesomeness too, reMixes come correct from Plastic Plates, Second Date and our boy Fabian. Second Date bring some seriously deep Disco to the table with an almost sub bassline and beach guitar forming the basis for their brand of Disco, and unusual mix definitely. Plastic Plates always come through with the goods and here is no different. Synthetic Electro Disco loaded with my beloved electro toms. PP’s reMix has this slick jazzy synth lead that sets a really nice groove for the track. But it’s the man Fabian who really blows this EP up, starting his track understated with a smoothly building arpeggio that soon gives way to a massive LA Dreamwave track with a booty shaking Funk bass that moves your body while the thick synth chords send your brain to the stratosphere.

themagician

Awesome news. The Magician is finally ready to drop his first proper solo single!

‘I Don’t Know What To Do’, with Jeppe on vocal duties, is as good as we would have expected. The Magician has layered his electronic Disco with a really nice late 80’s House sound, the piano and the 909 rimshots give the track a real retro feel. Even the vocals are pretty late 80’s. but this isn’t cheap nostalgia, this is a serious House tinged ElectroPop track.

The Magician goes into Tropical overload with his new reMix of Wolf Gang’s Stay And Defend’.

Wolf Gang’s new single get’s turned on it’s head and becomes all about the coconut shells and steel drums with a Disco flavour. The Magician manages to keep a good times groove going which completely alters the vibe of the song. Mark this one weird, but infectious.

Yuksek Vs. The Magician

The Magician is on a total roll recently. Killer reMix after Killer reMix. Maybe Aeroplane splitting up was a good thing after all?

Taking Yuksek’s forthcoming new single Stephen Fasano has transformed it into a bouncy, Moog heavy, Nu-Disco groover with some amazing 90’s piano and just the right amount of cowbell. Both The Magician and Vito’s new Aeroplane have done some amazing work this year and, after all, two act is better than one! We’ll also be very interested to hear the new Yuksek album, ‘Living On The Edge of Time’. We really enjoyed the last one, let’s see if he can do it again.

♫ Yuksek – On A Train (The Magician reMix)

The ‘On A Train’ EP is out 2nd May with a reMix from Gucci Vump as well.

Peter & The Magician

Peter & The Magician is, of course Yuksek and Stephen Fasano, ex-one half of Aeroplane, both awesome producers in their own right. This collaboration between the two that appears on Kitsuné’s latest Maison compilation, Vol. 11, is some of the dopest analog disco you will hear in a while.

‘Twist’ mashes-up Yuksek’s vocoder love with The Magician’s Disco funk into something pretty special. I think so anyway, opinion seems to be divided about this track but, for me, it’s hit all the right synthesizer buttons. This is the kinda’ track that would have me melting into the dancefloor.

The Magician has also reMixes Yuksek’s forthcoming new (comeback?) single ‘On The Train’, you can hear it in his new mixtape here.

Peter & The Magician – Twist

‘Twist’ is available on Kitsuné Maison 11 ‘The Indie-Dance Issue’, out 16th May.

The Aikiu & The Magician

More reMix greatness from ex-Aeroplane man The Magician! this time he’s taking on Kitsuné’s Indie-Electro duo The Aikiu and I reckon this is my favourite The Magician reMix to date.

This reMix of ‘The Red Kiss’ is radically 80’s. Unashamedly and unapologetically retro. And it’s awesome.

This is pure 80’s Pop, hints of late 80’s Pop R&B and some mid-80’s SynthPop in the bass and drums and some plucked strings work that takes us back in time so much that this track could have easily been on TOTP in 1984.

The Magician really seems to be living up to his name these past few months!
