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.

DEEPAK SHARMA + DIETER KRAUSE + AMBIVALENT

Written by manalogue. Posted on August 24, 2010. Filed under minimal, remix, stuff my wife would like, tech house, techno. Tagged , , , . No comments.

Let’s be honest here, the blog world is a tad saturated with electro and frankly, electronic music needs to get back to it’s roots.

Deepak Sharma + Dieter Krause

Thankfully there are producers like DEEPAK SHARMA and DIETER KRAUSE who consistently turn out techno and tech house to keep me moving in the dim light of those long nights. Setting a new standard, New York City’s HIDDEN RECORDINGS offers a new release that demands attention and brings a sharp focus to the emerging label. What makes label owners’ Deepak Sharma and Dieter Krause “The Great Lawn” noteworthy is not the amazing collection of top shelf remixers, eight to be exact, but that none were affiliated with the label. All eight producers were brought together out of a love of the original source material and a respect for Sharma and Krause’s growing body of work. The diversity of the material on the single spans every inch of the techno spectrum, from deep late night insanity to vintage Detroit analogue electronics.

They sent us the AMBIVALENT remix to share with you. The track adds some stealth and muscle to the release, but at the same time it’s also lean and sinewy. The scant but efficient melodies only serve to feed the beat of what is essentially a build-up record. What is most noticeable about this track are the missing elements that serve as a reminder of the track’s intense starkness, which is exactly what minimal is supposed to do.

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.
