we just brought you the 'forbidden cuts' release on discotexas and now moullinex , xinobi and the rest of the clique are already dropping a new release: "holdin' on" by munich-based discodust favorite justin faust . discodust was among the first to discover his greatness and if you followed his output, he is just getting better all the time! the title track is hands down my favorite french flavoured track so far this year and finally lifts justin faust up where he belongs, among the top producers in this game! the [...]
a million blog years ago (as in april 2009), our friends from creamteam first post about chicago/toronto-based producer bit funk . thousand blog years (as in may 2009) later i finally listened to his tracks and ever since wanted to post about him but miserably failed, shifting down to superslacker-mode each time he sent me tracks. and still some of his tracks from back then never really left my player but more about that soon. let's act like i am a serious blogger and talk about the actual news first! bit funk [...]
frequent blog readers should need no introduction for london-based disco demolition duo the c90s (pictured above, kinda) as they have already got a lot of love for their previous remixes, including reworks for róisín murphy and late of the pier . their debut single '10:01' will be out on relish soon and you can get the villa (who seem to be going straight for the nu disco crown lately) remix here right now, already supported by erol alkan and annie mac . the c90s [...]
time to introduce some fresh french talent again. doing it the old style, i came across silicone project on myspace a while ago and luckily managed to convince him to hand over a few tracks for posting on the blog. turns out we already featured him on the blog using a different name but i'll leave this 'mystery' for someone else to solve. prepare for some quality french touch music right here, 'supernova' being an arpeggio-heavy trip to outer space while 'veridis quo' is probably the most well done cover of a daft punk song that [...]
i have got no idea why i am only discovering them just now (actually it's because i am a lazy slacker - and a bad liar too) but butterfly bones from california are making some pretty damn sweet spaced out synth-laden indie pop, fitting in well with the whole 'chillwave' sound but appearing much more original and heartfelt to me. take your chance and feel like being at a secret mgmt meets cut copy jam session and enter a world of moog solos, surf guitars and catchy vocals with '<3', the first [...]
discodust favorites greenmoney are back with a new remix for new york's cubic zirconia , once again combining deep bass frequencies with spaced out stabs that could be right from the earlier trance days. oh right, that's why they dubbed it 'trancestep'. let's float! cubic zirconia - josephine (greenmoney's trancestep remix) you know the deal, show greenmoney and cubic zirconia some love!
the word 'rejected' normally arrives in a conversation with a negative connotation. whenever you hear about an attempted romantic gesture, the results for a submission to an ivy league school or the outcome of a donated kidney it conjures feelings of sympathy and utter dispair. with the turn of the new year, i'm making an attempt to see the proverbial glass as 'half full' and put a positive spin on negative situations. let's take this jokers of the scene remix, for example. it was stamped with a big 'rejected' on it but that doesn't mean [...]
less than two weeks ago , we told you to watch out for more from cassette kids and here we are, with a massive new remix of their upcoming single 'spin' by discodust favorite russ chimes . and maybe it's just because i am imagining the kids' lead singer katrina noorbergen to sing 'let me spin another record for you, baby' just for me and no one else but i think this might be a new high for russ yet again. you decide, but this is definitely a big! house! tune! (premiere! on! discodust!) [...]
japayork is a 22-year old musician and graphic designer currently based in london but previously residing between japan and new york (hence the name). i have been an instant fan of his catchy synth-pop productions ever since i first heard him and finally managed to get ahold of a track for posting, so about time you fall in love with him too - and i've got a feeling that won't be too difficult, especially for the ladies around! enjoy 'our now', available for download for the first time on discodust! and also watch the video, made by the man [...]
after he recently teared up radio 1's essential mix, team discodust's rave commander in chief hostage from the nightshifters camp is back with a brandnew joint, going by 'loft in bass' and according to the man himself it's best described as 'mr. disco gets kicked in the face by some horrible bass thug'. yeah, err, because fuck disco, right? boom! discodust premiere! hostage - loft in bass follow the insane madman on his twitter and add him on myspace !
my favorite music blog of all-time (hosted by my archenemy), bigstereo , is one step ahead of us once again and just announced the first release on their very own record label! and after hearing baby monster , i couldn't think of a better release for them to represent their sound. 'she comes alive' is a very catchy indie pop track reminding me of mgmt and passion pit and i predict it will be one of the most played tracks at indie dance nights this year - assuming the dj's are doing their homework, [...]
our boys super mal are back with a new remix for dada featuring the other and it's right up there with all their previous high quality work. pick up a low-quality preview here and head over to beatport for the actual release! dada featuring the other - majestic 12 (super mal remix) big ups to destined records for this release and lock in to super mal and dada on myspace for updates!
our friends from on the fruit are back with a new release and you know this means some new high quality vintage-flavoured epic synth music is coming your way, this time from new signing midnight club . information is sparse but these gentlemen are working with the actual hardware machines from 'back in the days' and are inspired by fellow synthesizer gods both old and new. their upcoming ep 'the machine' contains five original tracks and a remix by label mate worship and you're getting two of the originals right here, right now! [...]
slow network is a new label based in the netherlands, dedicated to release quality disco house on vinyl only. while i am not a big fan of the 'vinyl only' concept in general (but definitely can feel the appeal), the networkers obviously don't seem to mind their releases being available in digital form as well, choosing the blogs as a distribution channel. the first release comes from webqueawry , a one-off project by dutch producer martijn poulus , known for his previous releases projects as hugo van dyck and lyhome . staying [...]
the turn of a new year often signals new beginnings for many people. they resolute to change their diet, drink less alcohol, exercise more, or work on their self-improvement. for violca yryku , this year meant branching off from her previous project (mansion) and forgoing the musical journey on her own. with a new name, riviera , and new inspiration she's still kept the best parts about her old sound. she's kicking this year off with a remix of fellow canadians azari & iii who are making a splash of their own (check out aleks' [...]
sean roman is another as-of-yet undiscovered diamond in the canadian rough. he is making the best of the long, blizzard filled days and turning his cabin fever into soul infused mood tracks reminiscent of lee curtis and soul clap . it's so refreshing when people forego the trend of producing in the vein of crunchy, electro blog house that might accrue 15 seconds of instantly gratifying fame and dig a bit deeper in musical influences of the past, constructing a true piece of art with enough substance to sink your teeth into like a [...]
curry & coco are a french duo making disco and new wave flavoured electro-power pop, with a hedonistic attitude dripping from every single note. after playing more than 150 shows in three years, they have recently finished their debut album 'we are beauty' with some help of david kosten, also known as faultline , and previously occupied with production for the likes of bat for lashes . ahead of the album which is coming in april, curry & coco have recently released an ep named 'sex is fashion' and we have got both [...]
