Last month we introduced you to the Dub Mix of Alex Metric 's team-up with Jacques Lu Cont ’s Safe With You . It’s was surprisingly amazing, but all we could have asked for is a bit more in the vocal department from Niki & The Dove 's Malin, and more of a Pop structure. Well, we didn’t have to wait long as this past weekend Pete Tong premièred the full vocal version of the track, grab yourself a listen. Possibly one of the Pop songs of the year, Metric and Lu [...]

American Dreamwave/Nu-Disco producer All Night Shoes is making forays into DiscoPop and Chillwave with his new tune, Like This . Branching out from his Nu-Disco sound, All Night Shoes plays around with new elements and new tempos with this tune, including some pretty slick vocals to create a different mood altogether from his usual output.

Surkin lends his deep French Electro sound to the originals haunting SynthWave resulting in a pounding slice of robotic emotion. The chord progression of the original tune is one that is evocative and cinematic, and that plays nicely into Surkin’s hands as he delivers a bassy Electro-House floorfiller with enough raw beats to keep the kids happy and enough humanity to lift their spirits. We [...]

With a sweet 90s Indie Dance vibe, here comes the CFCF reMix of Shine 2009 ’s Eurozone . The Montreal-based producer channels his inner Madchester and makes us want to don baggy jeans and floppy hair. Which we aren’t actually going to do by the way, for numerous reasons. You can’t help but want to nod along to the shuffling Indie Dance beat, it’s pure mid-90s vibes around here.
