Here’s a bit of a rushed mix I did for THE SHAKE, a weekly radio show LOTEK and I do every Friday night on KICK FM. Lotek and I are both out of town this week, hence the mix. It starts off with a bunch of robotdisco jams and gets into some house-flavoured breaks and ends with nu disco and tech house.

CHROMEO + CHRISTIAN MARTIN

Don't Turn the Lights On

There’s a part of me that feels guilty for posting previous versions of the latest CHROMEO single, but let’s forget that shall we?

CHRISTIAN MARTIN is one of my favourite producers. If you’re unfamiliar with him, I’d say you better educate yourself with him and others in the San Francisco bass crew under DIRTY BIRD RECORDS. (Incidentally, a great place to start with the Dirty Bird education is the “Five Years of Dirtybird” compilation.) The label is responsible for some of the best house music on the planet and like this remix, it’s always deep and rich and meant for dim spaces. Indeed, don’t turn the lights on.

KAVINSKY + BREAKBOT + ROBOTAKI + SAWAGII

Kavinsky

KAVINSKY is back and about to drop his latest single “Nightcall” on September 10th via the legendary French electronic imprint RECORD MAKERS. We’re excited to offer you not one, but three remixes of the single, representative of the French-filtered robotdisco. It’s sensual, epic and romantic, exactly like you’d expect.

Produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo of Daft Punk and mixed by SebastiAn, the track finds the spooky, distorted, zombie vocals of Kavinsky perfectly counterbalanced by the sultry purr of CSS’ front kitten Lovefoxxx.

The remix package for this release comes courtesy of secretive and emblematic figures. Kavinsky & Record Makers organized a remix contest which ended with 533 entries- the winners being Robotaki and SAWAGii’s remixes, both included in the digital version, as well as the great work of the funky new Ed Banger sensation Breakbot.

MP3: Kavinsky – Nightcall (SAWAGii’s Revenge remix)

The legend of Kavinsky is an interesting one – the strory goes that he died in a car crash in 1986, whilst driving his beloved Testarossa. He re-appeared as a ZOMBIE in 2005, with his 12-inch, Teddy Boy. Since then, he has shown up all around the globe, playing his music to humans. Crowds gathered to witness the miracle: despite being dead, Kavinsky was still alive. In 2007, he released his second 12-inch, ‘1986’. This is when his French robot mates in Daft Punk invited him to join their Alive Tour, and A-Trak put together an American Tour in his now repaired Testarossa. After rediscovering the world with his red eyes, Kavinsky retreated to his base camp to work on his debut album. Now, the zombie is striking back. After months of studio work on his forthcoming album, he & Record Makers have decided to release “Nightcall” as an apéritif.

5EYA

Written by manalogue. Posted on August 25, 2010. Filed under indie, robotdisco, stuff my wife would like. Tagged , , , . No comments.

La Bombe is the brand new label from UK DJ/producer Sharooz. Launching with a simple goal, their sole mission is to release forward thinking dancefloor bombs, irrespective of genre.

The label’s latest release comes from sterling new talent 5EYA. Daniele Pianigiani aka 5EYA is probably best known as DJ partner to fellow Italian whizzkid Phonat. Together the two foolhardy sample slayers have singlehandedly reinvented nu-disco, mashing and merging styles with the click of a mouse. A stable of peaktime summer floors worldwide, 5EYA’s disco-tinged debut sits as comfortably in bigroom sets as it does in sunset sessions.

The single is released today on beatport with remixes from Sharooz and Tom Flynn. You can grab one cut below.

CHRISTOPH ANDERSSON

Christoph Andersson

CHRISTOPH ANDERSSON didn’t exactly have the upbringing associated with that of a robotdisco cyborg, yet at age 18 he stands poised to noodle his way into the playlist of many like-minded djs. Born in Washington D.C., Christoph time in Germany before relocating to New Orleans as a toddler. In the town long associated with either Jazz or Metal, Christoph was more or less left to his own musical devices which doesn’t really explain why or how  Christoph’s tight, funk influenced bass lines are instantly catchy. Early on Christoph reworked New Orleans legends like The Meters, hit “Fire On the Bayou” into an up-tempo secret weapon for southern dance floors.

His melodies make any robot swoon.

N.A.S.A.

N.A.S.A.

North America/South America – or more commonly known as N.A.S.A. – is an ongoing creative collaboration between two lifelong music aficionados, Squeak E. Clean (Sam Spiegel) and DJ Zegon (Ze Gonzales), and their friends, friends of friends and musical heroes.

They were one of 10 acts to record their version of a cult classic track which represents the spirit of the people who’ve worn Doc Martin’s, the iconic British shoe, over the past 50 years. The project involved a collaboration of 10 directors to make videos for each of the tracks as well. The latest release is from N.A.S.A who cover Max Romeo’s “Chase The Devil.”

Some of you may be more familiar with The Prodigy’s version. Breakbeat heavyweight Deekline updated the tune recently as well.

Clubfeet - Gold on Gold

Clubfeet hail from Melbourne, Australia and their sweet poppy, 80s themed riffs have been dominating aural palettes of new and old fans alike.

To celebrate the record’s immediate success the label is giving away five tracks. Check out a couple below and after the jump, click to get them and grab the entire album from iTunes.

WHITE ARROWS + RAC

Written by manalogue. Posted on August 11, 2010. Filed under indie, remix, robotdisco, stuff my wife would like. Tagged , . 2 Comments.

WHITE ARROWS‘ debut EP, Hearts and Lungs, is slated for a late August release, to coincide with the group’s 5 week residency at Spaceland. Containing original material as well as remixes by the likes of Tim Kasher (OK Go), RAC (Remix Artist Collective), and Kevin Seaton (Mad Decent), this work has already seen its tracks licensed by shows such as HBO’s How to Make it in America and MTV’s The City.

Coming Or Going (RAC Mix) Cover Art

Word has it the RAC remix has been penned into Episode 709 of Entourage (a guilty pleasure for my wife and me) as well. I have no idea where it’ll appear but because it’s so memorable it seems best for the end credits. The remix takes off where the angular tune starts, but processes it through robotdisco filters and deep kicks.

CHROMEO + AEROPLANE

Could there be a better marriage of robotdisco lovers? AEROPLANE adds some swank to the already oversexified Chromeo single.

It’s been a few minutes (years actually) since CHROMEO released their last long player. “Fancy Footwork” was full of nu disco kitch and it sounds as though P-Thugg and Dave1 haven’t abandoned their roots entirely. “Business Casual” however, is slightly more serious. You can pre-order various packages of the album, which comes with immediate downloads here.

Oh, and if you missed it, here’s another one you’ll love courtesy of MIDNIGHT CONSPIRACY, which is by far the best remix of this tune to date.

THEM JEANS

Written by manalogue. Posted on July 22, 2010. Filed under electro, house, indie, remix, robotdisco, stuff my wife would like, tech house. Tagged , , , , , , , . No comments.

THEM JEANS unified the east and west. As a DJ and promoter in L.A. he’s thrown massive parties but is also affiliated with PLANT MUSIC, one of the best labels to sprout up over the last few years. Maybe that’s presumptuous to say, but you can’t disagree with his output.

About seven months ago, he dropped his remix of of MUNK‘s “Down in L.A.” which is rich with robotdisco hooks and a bassline so sweet you want to lick it off the floor. This one’s a mover, especially for the ladies. This week though, Plant released the smash single from Munich’s Munk (aka Mathias Modica). The track was released on GOMMA last year but Plant has a whole new set of remixes including Fantastadon, Them Jeans, Grand Theft and Dan-OH.

We are happy to offer the all new and superb Them Jeans remix for to post for download

Them Jeans

Also signed to Finland’s TOP BILLIN’ Them Jeans’ “Balloons” is his first EP with them. It’s a funky-styled house number that has a lead weird enough to make you scrunch up your nose and think, what? Nevermind that though, this single pounds. Remixes come from fellow LA boys CAMO UFOS (Mike B & Nate Day), Mad Decent’s own (and Diplo’s studio engineer) DJA and the next big thing in tropical beats, LOL BOYS (don’t let that name fool you, these dudes are for real for real).
