[Audio] Miami Horror’s ‘Real Slow’

Melbourne ElectroPop geniuses Miami Horror are back, which is pretty big news. We’ve been getting hints that the new album from these guys, who were well and truly at the forefront of the first wave of Australian Indie-Electro-DiscoPop acts, for a while now and we can;t wait to hear it. Here’s the first single, Real Slow, featuring Superhumanoids’ Sarah Chernoff.

Having relocated to LA, Real Slow seems to be the perfect melding of Australian Indie-Electro Disco and LA beach party Tropical Disco. It’s a track that manages to be crisp and clean, whilst still leaving you with a dreamlike summery haze, the production is fantastic. With Indie sensibilities, Miami Horror slow Funk their way through a piano led laid-back Disco tune crated on the backs of Dreamwave Synths. The soundtrack to what’s left of your summer.

[MP3] Aimes’ ‘Give It To Me’

One of Brooklyn’s finest exports Aimes has released another tune in his slightly Housier direction. The second of his free downloads in the waters of this new sound for him, Give It To Me, brings an even deeper, irresistible, House vibe to Aimes music and it’s deservedly getting a lot of DJ support right now.

Mixing up Aimes spacey Chillwavey background with some moody warehouse beats and a slightly Tropical vibe, Give It To Me gently pulls you along with it’s subtly pumping bassline and waves of dreamtime synths give it that laid back haze we’re used to from Aimes, but there a compelling late night floor filler side to Give It To Me’s equation too, and the two word amazingly together to produce five minutes of bliss.

[Video] Holy Models’ ‘Swimming’

It always weird us out when labels release a track’s video after the song is out, seems to defeat the point of using it to build excitement for the release. Oh well, we guess Eskimo Recordings have a plan as they have just premiered the video for Australian trio Holy Models’ laid back Tropical Swimming single.

The video is suitably trippy and psychedelic, but with a nice chilled, summery, thread running throughout.

Holy Models Swimming is out now.

[Audio] Cassette Club’s ‘Fire’ reMixed by Fishing Vest

London ElectroPop duo Cassette Club are back next month with a brand new single of soulful Disco electronics. Fire is released in September, but ahead of the release they had made this remix of the track from recent Mullet Records signings Fishing Vest available though their Bandcamp page, just in time for another heatwave.

Fishing Vest get their Tropical groove on with this mix up between LA beach Disco and twisted synth Funk. That’s the prefect accompaniment for Cassette Club’s impassioned croon. With a nice Housey piano hook bouncing along over the Island purcussion and thick Moogy bass, this reMix serves up everything you’d want in a chilled summery floorfiller. We can’t wait to hear the rest of the EP.

[Audio] Tiger & Woods reMix frYars’ ‘Cool Like Me’

How much more can we write about London based ElectroPopper frYars’ sweet new single Cool Like Me? The tune’s been on rotation pretty heavily around these parts for the past month, what more is there to say? Well, now that it’s been reMixes by enigmatic US Disco duo Tiger & Woods I guess we can write a little more.

Grooving along the thin line between the funkier end of House and mirrorball vibing Nu-Disco, the secretive Tiger & Woods really let themselves go to town over the course of this nine minute epic. resting on an irresistible bassline, the reMix gets a little free-form over the top, rocking cut-up vocals, rough piano hook and a left-field arrangement to deliver a track that slowly sucks you in, and onto the dancefloor.

[MP3] Russ Chimes’ ‘Turn Me Out’ reMixed by Maxum

Normally we’d be weary of reMixes of Russ Chimes tunes. For us, it’s hard to improve upon the Chimes, or even compete with. So when this email dropped into out mailbox we approached with trepidation. It’s turns out it’s pretty awesome. This mix if Russ’ recent single Turn Me Out comes from Torontonian producer Maxum who’s seven minute big room epic is both engrossing and slickly produced. Oh, and did we mention, this guys fifteen fucking years old! It’s like Madeon all over again only twelve months more ridiculous.

A brief glance over Maxum’s SoundCloud page reveals his usual style is amazingly well produced, but not really our thing, American dance music, don’t-make-me-say-it, you know what we mean. He’s amazing good at it though, but this Russ Chimes mix is something deferent altogether. Pulsating Progressive House, with hints of SynthWave. A main room sound that draws you into seven minutes, delivering ever increasing levels of energy. Layers of shimmering synths build and build alongside a pure Tropical hook. We’d definitely like to hear more like this from this kid.

[Audio] Jensen Sportag’s ‘Bellz’

It feels like we’ve been waiting an age for new material from Nashville Chillwavers Jensen Sportag, their Pure Wet EP seems like it was years ago, and that’s because it was, and with only the odd track and reMix here and there since, we feel slightly deprived of cool dreamlike Funk. Fear not though, the duo have been hunkered down in the studio busting out their début album. Set for release in November on Cascine, Stealth Of Days is as good as you’d hope it to be (we’ve had a cheeky listen, shhhh) and here’s your first taste, Bellz.

The album’s first single really show off what the Sportags have been up to these long two years. Bellz rocks a killer digital bassline and smooth retro stabs. For a track seen though the haze of reverb, the groove is amazingly tight. That bassline plays off the shuffling beats with razor sharp precision, which allows the airy Soul vocals and waves of hazy Tropical synths to glide over the tune in a loose fashion without stripping the tune of it’s dancefloor appeal. Which leaves you with the best of two worlds, Chillwave and Disco, really.

[MP3] Cavaliers of Fun’s ‘Valley Of Dreams’

It’s been a while. This is Dreamwaver Cavaliers Of Fun’s first proper single of the year, and right slap-bang in the middle of a heatwave is the prefect time to unleash such laid-back summery bliss.Valley Of Dreams delivers everything you’d want from a hazy beach tune. Nostalgic, funky, slightly ethereal and all covered in island vibes. All brought to you by ‘the ever-awesome Holographic People’.

Pouring Tropical Disco and Dreamwave into a mixing bowl Cavaliers Of Fun cooks up only the finest of both. It’s the kind of song we all wigged out to in the summer of 2010, but updated with slick Disco licks and Tropical purcussion. A solid Disco beat is complimented by hazy, heavily effected guitars and a bouncy synth bass. As Ricco Vitali presents his passionate croon, thick synths create an irresistible sunkissed mood. The Single is loaded with reMixes too, Freak You strips the beach vibe from the tune and morphs it into a Technoid stormer with 90s House overtones. Riddled with noisy effects and a heavy Rave leads and rolling snare fills, this one’ll have you grinning and dancing. Saint Pauli uplifts the single with a big room mix where they take everything big. Big lead stabs, Big Disco snyths and a Big stomping beat. Fellow Holographic Peopl-er Shelby Grey’s Bonus Beats Dub is pretty special too, possible the EP’s highlight, a proper 12” extended mix that strips the original to it’s synth basics and layers orchestral hits, robo synths and a rocking B-Boy beat. We’d love to hear this one with the vocals. These tunes sit alongside a luscious Poolside Disco mix from Poindexter on a release that is, surprisingly, free to download. There’s need to be no discussion, download this right now.
