Tracks: Casablanca

2012-01-13T19:14:00.006Z

Looks like Gomma are at it too!They have unleashed their "All-Stars": Munk, Moullinex, Telonius and The Phenomenal Handclap band on the Casablanca Records back catalogue to create a series of brilliant reworks featuring vocals from Peaches across the board.

Absolutely loving Maniac from Peaches and Moullinex!

p.s. Telonius's Donna Summer Our Love rework is pretty good but compare to Peter Zohdy & Michael Senna's Chicago rework...

Track: Jay Lamar & Jesse Oliver

Discotexas's first release of 2012 explodes out of the sky bringing some lightening bolts of remixes with it.

Which is your favourite? I can't decide!

New track from Todd Terje, Inspector Norse, has a friendly groove and a light-hearted gait. Fine for a winter jaunt in the city.

Track: Mayer Hawthorne

Just picked this up over at SSSSound, a real top edit of Mayer Hawthorne's You Got The Makings Of A Lover by San Francisco trio Pillow Talk. A nice get-home-from-work Friday song. Real smooooth.

Mix: Sare Havlicek

Sare Havlicek has caught my attention recently for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I heard his remix of Pete Herbert & Golden Fleece's track Ivory Waves (see vid below) which features a sumptuous piano breakdown...

...and secondly for his "Disco Recreation" mixes. Plenty of discoy goodness and another helping of caterpillar piano at 10.50 as we turn the corner and bump straight into a new Sare original Sense Station, to be released in the next month. Enjoy!

Tracklist:
Elijah Collins & Nist - Love's Down
Moon Boots - Off My Mind
Sare Havlicek - Sense Station
Justin Winks vs Casio Social Club - Rock The Discotheque
Jonas Rathsman - Tobago
Volta Bureau - Alley Cat
Startraxx - Step Into My Life (Nu Disco Club Mix)
Housse De Racket - Roman (Oliver Remix)
Semi Functional - Starlabs Theme (Lou Teti Remix)
Kolombo - Daylight (feat Michael Parker)
F3 - Dis. Co (Ilya Santana abrasive mix)
Ultrasonic 7 - Like Thunder (Raoul Lambert Remix)
Proper Heat - Just A Little Bit
Casual Encounters & Honom - Robo Funk (Berlitz Remix)

There really isn't a better name for this track than "Sun In The Winter". Another great mix from Channel Swimmer. Love the speedy echoy vocal on this.

from Niki & The Dove

Most definitely coming up on a mixtape soon. This is a glorious remix from Goldroom of a beautiful track by Niki & The Dove called Mother Protect.

Sounding good... Check out their bandcamp page - roadsandboats.bandcamp.com/

Another great video (and song!) from Clubfeet. Check out their website for the full video project produced in collaboration with Alex Goddard.

"All my friends are kissing each other, they've got restless, mothers"

brilliant.

Track: Mirror People

Oh YES! New track from Portuguese producer Mirror People - Feel The Need - out on the Discotexas label. Rowetta (of Happy Mondays fame) nails the vocals. Remixes from Moullinex and Munk amongst others. Check it out!

Video: Zimmer

2011-11-08T17:42:00.001Z

Great new track from Zimmer on the Discotexas label - those guys just can't stop churning out gold. The track's called Looking At You and its sweet, slow and beautiful. Expertly shot on the streets of Paris by Quentin Chevrier and Fabrice Starzinskas (97seconds.com), the video follows the well-used theme of an incredibly attractive woman swanning around flirtatiously in an incredibly attractive place. To be honest the lack of originality doesn't bother me one bit!

Track: Move D

2011-10-30T19:23:00.001Z

by Marc Johns

I stumbled across this really nice downtempo, dubby electro track by Move D called "A [Workshop 13]". There's a delightful video to go with it about a cupcake who tries to sail away but gets marooned on an island... quite beautiful (you have to give yourself a bit of a nudge when you realise you're getting emotional about a cupcake). The video was put together by 29NovFilms who seem to be doing some pretty experimental stuff with visuals. Check them out here.

Track: Citizens!

Recently signed to Kitsuné, Citizens! have clocked up a great track "True Romance", set to a truly exceptional video.

So for now I'll just post links to the individual tracks here. You can also listen to a mixed version without me talking in the latest Cassette Culture tape - far more pleasant that being interrupted by my blathering every 5 minutes.

Tape #7: Octopus

2011-10-28T09:08:00.003+01:00

I'm wrestling with an octopus
and faring less than well,
one peek at my predicament
should be enough to tell.
It held me in a hammerlock,
then swept me off my feet,
I'm getting the impression
that I simply can't compete.

This sounds unbelievably good even though it is sadly just a snippet. Morgan Geist remixes KDMS track Tonight. Only out on vinyl at the moment, digital release not till December apparently...

Track: JusLo'

2011-10-22T20:02:00.000+01:00

JusLo's Mirikal always feels like its building up to something big... it never quite hits it for me but its still a pretty decent track.

Track: Zimmer

2011-10-17T09:04:00.004+01:00

This track slides out the fridge like a finely chilled beverage. Looking at You by Zimmer is out on October 21st on the Discotexas label. Perfect by the pool music for those long-gone summer days. Can't wait to hear remixes.
