Released this week is the new reMix collection from Gin Joints of his last single 'For Tonight'. Having moved on fro being a Hip Hop producer when he discovered Electro Funk, the Sweedish Gin Joins has released a handful of really cool, smooth Disco records with a Pop vibe. 'For Tonight' was one of those records and got quite a lot of big name support, now comes the reMixes with some rad names attached. Admittedly the reMixes are a bit hit and miss (Thomey Boors 2-Step mix for instance is simplistic to the point where you [...]
This is a post I've been wanting to write for a while now, but our Best of lists took up all our time and we wanted them be up a bit longer in the top than our regular posts. But now it's time for our Swedish friend Gin Joints . From the northern parts of Sweden, with his background in hip hop, he now has turned his vision into the more funky 80's disco. "For Tonight" is his second release, and it's as solid so that even Aeroplane featured the Neon Workout [...]
As a blogger i could not ask for a better year. I had the chance to meet amazing people and to tell them, "dude i love your music, you're a fucking genius". Christian Källström aka Neon Workout is going to stay in my heart for ever. He is definitely one of most talented artists i have ever met. I'm sure 2012 is going to be an awesome year for him. A couple minutes ago, he dropped this amazing track. I'm sure he knows it's one of my favorites. I wanted to bring him to Portugal to play in our [...]
With his roots in the Swedish hip hop scene, Gin Joints was still in his teens when he started DJing and making music with rappers like Planet Asia, Grand Agent, Movits! and Young Ivy . A few years down the line, Gin Joints has moved on from his first compositions and turned to 80s funk, disco and electro for inspiration. To follow up on his very well received debut solo EP, Know The Ledge , Gin Joints is introducing a brand new five-track EP called For Tonight . Released [...]
Jet setting DiscoPop act AXXE 's 'Sweet Stuff' has been knocking around for a while now, as has some of the reMixes, so On The Fruit Records (in their firsts of two big releases this week) have made the smart decision to package them all up in one place, alongside some corking new versions. Won't you join me for a peek inside? The original version of the tracks is pure Dance-Pop excellence, with just the right balance between retro sounds and modern dancefloors. Doug's slick beats and ear for hooks and Stina husky, powerful vocals [...]
Sweden's Gin Joints started DJing as a teenager in his hometown in northern Sweden. After years of making hip hop with rappers like Planet Asia, Grand Agent, Movits! and Young Ivy, Gin Joints was introduced to 802s funk and there was no turning back. Diligently pushing his new found love for dirty beats, quickly became a solo artist because his rapper friends didn't understand his new grooves. The following night he hunkered down with a microphone and worked out the vocals to what would soon [...]
Gin Joints is a Sweedish producer who until recently was content making his name as a Hip-Hop guru, then he discovered '80's Funk. So what we have on his latest record, 'Know The Ledge' is a wicked vocoder heavy slice of cosmic Electro Boogie. Mixing up a Moog Funk bassline with a slick Disco lick creates the prefect backing for the almost ElectroPop vocals with a call-and-response vocoder chorus. 'Know The Ledge' is a smooth late night jam with reMix duties performed by the awesome Neon Workout who come in heavy with a big Dreamwave/Nu-Disco [...]
Radio INK haven't graced the pages of electronic rumors for a while now , but their new reMix package for the 'Rocket' single…oh my god! I honestly don't know where to begin, nine reMixes, all top quality. Let's take a look at some of the best. Bit Funk kicks things off with one of his best to date, a deep bassed DiscoPop tune that works the best of Disco and Pop to their fullest. Moonchild rocks his synthesizer disco for an upbeat track that I believe samples Freeeze's 'I.O.U.', or [...]
Except from Stay Ali's remix that we posted only minutes ago we also wanted to share two other great remixes of AXXE's latest "Sweet Stuff". If Stay Ali's remix is the most arty and experimental remix these two from Dreamtrak and Neon Workout are the most danceable. Sweet Stuff [Dreamtrak Diamond Dub] by AXXE Sweet Stuff [Neon Workout RMX] by AXXE
Neon Workout's beats are like no other. That's probably why we were kept waiting for so long for each release. I caught wind of the newest- Hold Tight, a few weeks ago but was also caught up in the whole Christmas charades so I didn't get a chance to post it. Below I included a few of my old favourites from early 2010. Running In The Night is dope and full of catchy synth production but it's in the HR remix where Neon Workout's repertoire as a star player is really exposed. The [...]

We have waited so long for this, a brand new track from Neon Workout . A new one of his own, so when we're this excited, we skip the talk and do the walk with "Hold Tight". But we must say one thing though, this track will be featured on his upcoming EP on Girlfriend Records . Neon Workout - Hold Tight [Tracasseur exclusive]
R emember when Flaires put out Trucker's Delight? (If you don't, it's obviously because you never saw the music video , but that's another story. That track was one that was never meant to end. I mean, there is a lot of good music out there, and there are certainly tracks out the equally as good as trucker's delight, but the difference is that most songs are simply built for an ending. That is, they take you from the beginning, over a hill, and to the end, and it would feel weird and unsatisfying [...]
Last Monday we posted an exclusive track named "Misery" from this EP by Norwegian italo queen HR, today it's time for the full release. "Memory Chord" is released by our friends over at Girlfriend Records , and they always make their releases free to the people. This EP has been longed and now it's here. HR shows us to make beautiful nu italo with that right mix of the old and the new. This girl is classy! I know that she can handle the synth, I've seen her in action. Just take a listen to "Sandra"... [...]
Shortly after midnight on September 18th, 1975, a group of Italian scientists stationed in a remote location on the Arctic tundra received a mysterious series of encrypted messages from a source that identified itself as (HR). For the next ten years, the group received similarly strange messages on this date annually. Puzzled, the researchers attempted to triangulate the source of the (HR) code. They could only deduce its origins to somewhere along the outer edge of the Andromeda Galaxy. In 1985, the transmissions suddenly ceased. The contents of the code remained indecipherable. For twenty-five years, the (HR) code [...]
It's hard to believe that this blog hasn't seen any activity since January! We've become super busy as of late and we apologize for letting this much time slip by in between releases. I'm not going to take any more of your time though, I'm just going to get straight to the release. You've waited long enough. Girlfriend has had many talks about a compilation and we're proud to bring you our first. Entitled "Love Songs Vol. 1", this comp consists of five never before released tunes from the gfr crew. While not [...]
Ok, I need to get some blogging done. The end of the university semester and the World Cup has affected my work-rate adversely (not to mention what six hours of vuvuzelas per day does to my creativity). First thing I'll share is Swedish producer Fredrick Carlsson 's new single "House" that was released on June 6. Fredrick is from Gothenburg, and his music is a mixture of pop, synth and techno and there's something very Swedish in his sound, especially in this track. I don't know what it is, but there's a melancholic feeling that makes [...]
The Swedish dance d'artangan, Fredrick Carlsson, started his career in late 2002 with heavy beats & experimental ambience. Nowadays he creates exactly the kind of music he likes to hear... **Summary** Go to website for downloads, videos & more.
