SNEAKY SOUND SYSTEM + G.L.O.V.E.S.

Posted on Written by Posted in electro, house, remix, robotdisco, stuff my wife would like Tagged , Comments

 

Finally available to blog – I’ve been waiting forever to lay this one down and thanks to G.L.O.V.E.S. I can give you a taste of the official remix of SNEAKY SOUND SYSTEM‘s about-to-drop single “When We Were Young.”

Yama Indra twists the track into a smooth robotdisco affair equipped with subtle vocoder and strings so soft your heart will melt.  It’s all balanced with the grooviest of basslines and original vocals full of sunshine.

MP3: Sneaky Sound System – When We Were Young (G.L.O.V.E.S. remix)

The hardcopy & digital release won’t be until November 12 – hope you can wait. The single will be accompanied by remixes from Sinden, Juan Maclean, Shazam (digital only), Breakbot and of course G.L.OV.E.S.

D IS FOR DISCO, E IS FOR DANCING

Posted on Written by Posted in electro, house, rave, remix Tagged , , Comments

Following last years expansive & mind warping compilation Light Sound Dance, THE BANG GANG DEEJAYS return with a new double disc mix cd – D Is For Disco, E Is For Dancing.

Included in the mix is the specially commissioned remix of “Kicking and Screaming” – the opening track on Apocalypso, THE PRESETS new album. With more bang for ya buck, the Bang Gang’s E Is For Edit remix of the track introduces a new level of dimensioneering and combined with some classic acid flashbacks. This all Australian affair gives new life to the already amazing track, that will keep even the most resilient feet on the floor…

MP3: The Presets – Kicking and Screaming (Bang Gang’s E is for Edit)

SOUNDCLOUD SUPER POST WITH GRUM + THE NOSE + NITE CELLS + WOW + THE BUMBLEBEEZ + PEDRO ANGELI + IAN TILBURY + FAT & UGLY + BUNNY LAKE + POLA-RIOT

To be clear, this is not an advertisement for Soundcloud, although the tool/site is pretty slick. Since joining a number producers have shared their work and here are a few of my favourites.

NITE CELLS keeps on top of their game with an arsenal of releases. The number of productions coming from these Hollywood boys is incredible. Their latest is another chopped up maximal grinder.

MP3: Nite Cells – Aut Aut

More maximal sounds coming from a remix by THE NOSE, this time in the form of shiny, robotdisco glam. GRUM is one of my favourite producers of the year and this remix keeps the original vibe alive.

MP3: GRUM – Whoa (Goldsmith’s (aka TheNose) Solid Gold Re-Edit)

This political tune from IAN TILBURYreminds me of a time long ago. Built on a slow delivery and choice vocal sample, the track is a bit jazzy house, a bit dub, and a bit spacey electronica. Check this out if you want to hear what 1995 sounded like.

[audio:http://manalogue.com/manalogue/Ian%20Tilbury%20-%20Freedom.mp3]

MP3: Ian Tilbury – Freedom

Next is a super smooth house track from WOWremixed by everyone’s favourite party rockers THE BUMBLEBEEZ.

[audio:http://manalogue.com/manalogue/WOW%20-%20Icy%20Cold%20(Bumblebeez%20Remix).mp3]

MP3: WOW – Icy Cold (Bumblebeez remix)

“FAT & UGLY describes the heart of the sound,” says the German producer. More maximal grinding synthwork. Check it.

[audio:http://manalogue.com/manalogue/Fat%20and%20Ugly%20-%20Smalltalkin.mp3]

MP3: Fat & Ugly – Smalltalkin

Another German remixer/producer – this redo from POLA-RIOT is built on a BMore break with a hint of grinding synth that’s totally effective.

MP3: Bunny Lake – Into the Future (Pola-Riot remix)

And finally, another maximal tune. Don’t let the title fool you – this original by PEDRO ANGELI is more robot than disco and it’s not nearly as evil as the accompanying image either.

MP3: Pedro Angeli – Hard Disco Attack

LEHTMOJOE

Posted on Written by Posted in house Tagged Comments

Here’s a thumpy filtered sweeper from LEHTMOJOE. One of his mates described it as SebastiAn meets Public and I won’t disagree. The track features vocal stabs that skip with the beat, slow acid-like modulation and a kick drum that keeps the tune in perpetual motion.

[audio:http://manalogue.com/manalogue/LehtMoJoe%20-%20Tom%20Petty.mp3]

MP3: LehtMoJoe – Tom Petty

I’m not exactly sure where the Tom Petty reference comes (perhaps from the vocal sample?). This is one tune from the Dallas native’s forthcoming album.

BMX + 1928

Posted on Written by Posted in club, electro, house, remix Tagged , Comments

“A beast on the selection and a total surgeon when it comes to administering outstanding technical finesse, 1928 is what many refer to as a dish best served blazing hot. A techno DJ in a former life, it was his epiphanistical pilgrimage to Alan Braxe & Fred Falke’s “Love Lost” that put him on to the 11th Commandment – do what’s best for the party. And that he does, taking dancefloors to the next level with shimmering masses of synth-heavy megablast strewn amongst whatever other cuts are gonna get people juiced at that time in that place in the right way. 1928 is not about getting deep, he is about the party.”

Hot off the press is this rework from 1928 who takes BMX‘s theme and rubs it with his patented party juices. Using some 80s synth flavours the remix will quench your dance crave, but at the same time keep you slurping cuz you know it’s getting hotter!
