Mitch Murder keeps knocking them out of the park, time and time again. Whist relatively quite during the record in his last album, the awesome 'Current Events', not the album is out Mr. Murder is treating us to a new track almost weekly, and they are all killer, no filler! 'Race Day' is slick as hell. A bouncy Italo track loaded with nostalgia, what we have here is four and a half minutes of thoughtful and uplifting SynthWave. The track pumps along on a staccato FM bassline that lays the groundwork for some seriously shimmering synths to [...]
Parisian Disco label Yeah/Dish! has been releasing some really nice stuff, for free, over the past year. Many of these releases we've featured right here, now the crew are coming out with a full blown compilation. Released today 'Prom Night' is nine tracks of pure, Funk fuelled, synth nostalgia. The tracklist reads like a who's who of up and coming Nu-Disco artists with a couple of established names and some SynthWave thrown in for good measure. Featuring the likes of Luminaire, Cyclist, Stereocool and Hemmingway you know you;re in for a groove treat, full of laid [...]
People, let's go back in time. Let's follow Yeah!/Dish Records back to Prom Night, the year 1984. The stage is set: "Buffalo, NY, 1984. Roses are red, tuxedos are pink and Jimmy's new Cadillac is black. Tonight is Prom Night, tonight everything is possible. As he parks nervously outside Brenda's house, just like a soldier trying to find the bravery to step on the battlefield, his shaking hands grab a bottle of vodka from the glove compartment. Before getting out of the car, Jimmy adds the final touch to his masterplan, his dad's aftershave. [...]
French label Yeah! Dish Records is releasing today the "Prom Night Compilation" totally for free download! I've picked up some "possible favourites," but the entire compilation is excellent! You will find the perfect slow jams for your Summer. There's is also a Lemaitre's that is not available because of some soundcloud issues. Anyway, you can [...]
Nite Sprite are a Norwegian double act whose harsh Electro/SynthWave we recently featured reMixing Mitch Murder's 'In The News' . The duo have just released their début EP and it's a no-nonsense, dark robotic journey through the night. Check it out. Their self-titled EP contains four originals, named 'Scene 1', 'Scene 2'… and so on which only adds to the ambiguity of these tracks. This isn't sweet Outrun/SynthWave inspired by '80's teen movies, this is holy-shit Electro SynthWave inspired by '80's "what the fuck is after me" movies. They actually remind me a lot of Coloureds, [...]
The undisputed kind of SynthWave, Mitch Murder , dropped another new track over the weekend, proving he's still on top form, still an innovator and still light-years ahead of most of the pack in teams of musical ability and pure flair for, and understanding of, retro synth music. Obviously for someone so influenced by electronic '80's movie soundtracks this was bound to crop up sooner or later, but this is probably the most Vince DiCola-esque peice that I have ever heard Mr. Murder produce. Drawing from DiColoa's trademark mixture of both arpeggiated & sliding digital slap bass [...]
Futurecop is back with a new single and a huge pack of remixes to be released on April 24th. "Starworshipper" EP comes with official reworks from from Lenno, Mitch Murder, Jowie Schulner and Out There. If you're following us since the very beginning, you already know I'm a huge fan of mitch murder's music. Luckily [...]
I've got to say, for all my love for 'Futurecop!: The Movie' I do prefer Futurecop! when they are doing what they do best, big retro ElectroPop, that's why I love their Japan only album 'It's Forever, Kids' and one of the best tracks on there was the Diana Gen featuring vocal version of 'Starworhipper', produced by none other than Diamond Cut. Futurecop! must think so to as it;s getting a single release with an astounding reMix package. you probably know the original by now, infectious dancefloor ElectroPop with equal helpings of soul and nostalgia. A [...]
After a period of quiet, once SynthWave maestro Mitch Murder released his awesome 'Current events' album, brand new tracks from the Sweedish producer are becoming a weekly occurrence! That's no bad thing though, his latest 'Glass Cities' is just the latest in amazing, atmospheric tracks. Quiet and reserved, with synths like raindrops, the intro to 'Glass Cities' creates the mood for the whole track. Spacious and mysterious, which a slightly oriental felling and when the beat and bassline kick in, you know something is going down in the metropolis. I don't really need to reiterate that [...]
The reigning heavyweight champion of SynthWave, Mitch Murder , is back with another new track. Where the man finds the time, I have no idea. 'Best Of The Best' is his latest. What can I say about Mitch Murder that I haven't said before? The man really is the shit, both in terms of production and musical ability, and this tune is no exception with it's big emotional retro synth chords and '80's Pop drums, but that's now where the gold in this tune is. The real hairs-standing-up-on-the-back- of-your-neck aspect to 'Best Of The Best' is [...]
Mitch Murder 's new track "Best Of The Best" like usual full of 802s mood and greatness. He his one of our favorites and his productions are always gold. In case you missed his latest freebies, you can always check them here . Enjoy..! Follow Golden Scissors on Facebook
Mitch Murder , one of our favourite producers, whether SynthWave or not, has dropped a couple of new tracks on SoundCloud. Followers of Mr. murder on YouTube will probably already recognise these tunes but I'm glad he's making his archive available on SC, much nicer for just listening to music. First up is 'Metro City Breakers', a soundtrack to what goes on on the streets of Metro City when Cody & guy aren't tearing it a new one. it's the ultimate '80's homage jam, to the point the when Mitch has exhausted his own intricate synth riffs he [...]
Mitch Murder is just on a roll, ever since the release of his 'Current Event's album (number two in our best albums of 2011 !) he's been delivering awesome new track after track, and basically taking the whole retro synth scene to school (which, I imagine, would be kinda' like the detention in The Breakfast Club). This week's fresh cut is 'Heading South', which sees old Mitch going right to his outrun core. A SynthWave narrative of a race to the boarder, but Mr. Murder opts for a laid back groove to get him there. The [...]
Ever since Sweedish SynthWave genius Mitch Murder dropped his album, 'Current Events' late last year we've seen a resurgence in activity from him, releasing killer tune after killer tune. The latest from this prolific period is this reMix of 'In The News' from Nite Sprite . Nite Sprite are a Norway based duo who craft some of the slickest retro Funk you're likely to hear for a while, and with this mix they step up their game to serious levels. Everything about this mix, of one of the highlights of 'Current Events', is a pitch [...]
Good Morning!!! Mitch Murder is breaking the news to present us with Nite Sprite ! I could not ask for a better way to start my week with this Norwegian group that was formed by Brad & Sylvester. They like to tag their music as Cinematic-Electro. If you check them out on Nite Sprite you will discover a lot more interesting tunes including a nice remix of Chromeo. Plus, a new ep is about to be release and you can already pre-order here ! Mitch Murder [...]
WHOA!!! This is really exciting! Nice edit/mashup from this E Seven kid, which i don't know who he is. But, i really like this work here. He grabbed "Power" from Grum and added "Running Out Of Time" from Mitch Muder. The result is this killer track, straight to dance floor. Oh yeah...!!! Grum – Power (Ft. Mitch Murder) (E Seven Edit) [download here ] Follow Golden Scissors on Facebook
Oooo, this is exciting stuff. SynthWave guru Lazerhawk is gearing up for the release of his 'Arrival' EP, the Jordan F reMix has been rocking our worlds for a while now but we finally get to get our ears round Mitch Murder 's take on the track. We're still reeling from Mitch's new album 'Current Events' (which just missed the top spot in our top albums of 2011 ) so we know the man is on top for right now, but once again he blows us away with this soaring slice of [...]
First post of 2012, here we go! Here are a few things to ring in a new year of music. Galaxy Train 1989 - Mitch Murder Serious cosmic disco vibes with that track! So tight. Alley Cat - Volta Bureau This track isn't even new, I just never got into it until now and felt like sharing. Pretty awesome. House of Disco New Years Party Mix Biiiiig deep disco house [...]
I'm going to presume you have already bought Mitch Murder 's new album, ' Current Events ', one of the albums of the year? If not, you should. if you have, here is something a little extra from the man. 'Last Call' is pure '80's soulful ElectroPop. Deep sounds and the hint of synthesised electric guitar just bring to mind Jan Hammer's moodier Miami Vice moments. With a bass sound that reminds me of Trevor Jones' 'Labyrinth' soundtrack, the Florida licks and some sax moods coming into the finale there are so many movie moments [...]
If you are at all into Dreamwave, or SynthWave, or Outrun Electro, or, well, y'know what I mean, you'll already be in love with the music of Mr. Mitch Murder . One of the originators of the scene, Murder is back this month with his second full length album 'Current Events' and it's a masterpiece. It may have come late in the year, but this eagerly anticipated record is easily vying to our album of the year. From the intro, 'Looking Back', this album is everything you could want as a fan of retro synthesizer music. The [...]
