Pretty Lights

I’m just in the mood for this… something challenging. Something i need to listen to and think about.

From out of nowhere Pretty Lights drop tough and contagious rythms bristling with spiky synths and Balearic pianos with a touch of glitch.

I suggest you try before you buy

Mp3

Pretty Lights – Fly Away Another Day

Delphic x Fences

I was lucky enough to get a pass to see Delphic last week here in Liverpool.

I prefer them on the headphones… And i prefer them even more on remix duties. These acidic overtones seem to be a theme for 2010. I can’t say i’m sick of that sound yet.

Phoenix remixed by Delphic is a good call. Good work Modular.

MP3

Phoenix – Fences(Delphic Remix)

Fromage Disco x Agent 86

Lightspeed Records keep on pushing out quality releases.

In this latest addition to the catalogue we see Partycmyk’s favourite Australian disco crew Fromage Disco throwing down some serious dubbed out acid-disco killer. The name says it all…

The full pack including remixes is out now at all good download stores. We have the Agent 86 remix to give away which is kinda unbelievable considering just how sweet and juicy it is.

MP3

Fromage Disco – Acidic Strings (DJ Agent 86s Old Skool Reinvention)

 

Rimer London

How do you listen to your music? Do you have play lists for certain situations? Commuting? Gym?

I suggest this new release from Rimer London (one half of Dutch electro poppers Le Le ) is filed in your “travelling at speed” list.

The title is so fitting.

The full Intercity EP release is due January 25^th… pick up at all good online music retailers.

MP3

Rimer London – Intercity

Filthy Dukes x C90s

The C90s have chewed up the Filthy Dukes latest single release “Nonsense in the dark” and ground it to an acid drenched slab of slo mo disco.

Look out for accompanying remixes by Prins Thomas and Justin Robertson , oh and make sure you check the original too.

C90s are working on more remixes and an album is in the pipeline too.

MP3

Filthy Dukes – Nonensense in the dark (C90s Remix)

Bodi Bill * Siriusmo

Works getting me down…. music is my friend during these testing times..

Bodi Bill have never even touched on my hype radar but now they are slap bang in the middle of it pulsing like a strobe light at a techno party..

This remix form Siriusmo is severely moody but exceptional heart warming at the same time.. a combination of anti romance and haunting piano chords.

Attending Bodi Bill’s myspace will also unearth previously hidden gems of folktronic brilliance..

MP3

Bodi Bill – Tip Toe Walk (Siriusmo Remix)

Dolly Parton x Surecut Kids

Noah and the Whale x Nightwaves

Full of creamy glossy moments this is a delicious slice of dream disco.

Simply gorgeous…. grab some earphones and drift into this.

The XX x What Kind of Breeze Do You Blow

Another day another XX track hacked…

 

Thankfullly this has been handled with love, affection and talent.

A song full of poise , despair and beauty… like a ballerina on meth..What Kind of Breeze Do You Blow have strung this one out just long enough for us to care.

MP3

The XX-Night Time (What Kind of Breeze Do You Blow Extended Edit)

Sunsplash

I think its time to create a new genre… i always gotta have a genre when i describe a piece of music

 

For this track from Brazilian/Venezuelan born but Brooklyn residing duo Sunsplash I think i’m going to invent the term cosmic baille… or maybe even dream baille.

The party carnival flavour is still there but its just less manic, easier to grip onto without a face of blow. Enjoy and visit their myspace for even more fiesta fuelled finery..

MP3

Sunsplash – A Brave New Me

 

The XX + Death to the Throne

James of Death to the Throne sends out the best emails when he’s hyping his tracks…

 

 

He’s done a remix “which sounds like david guetta having sex with another david guetta, while being watched by a bunch of david guettas”

Thankfully it doesn’t. It sounds like The XX get hyped by DTTT.

MP3

The XX – Shelter (Death to the throne remix)

Bodie Lee

Ladies and gentlemen … prepare to enter the glitter filled world of Bodie Lee

 

I imagine right now Mr Lee, or Bodie to whoever brings him a decent class of Veuve, is lounging right now in an infinity pool somewhere in the amalfi coast.

If he is then i hope someone mentions to him that partycmyk have posted about his new release “Monaco” and said it was DDDDDOOOOPPPPEEE DISCCCCCOOOOO!

This new release from lightspeeed records come jam packed with sympathetic remixes from Faze Action, Rudy’s Midnight Machine and Ajello.

Here is the DJ Agent 86 remix just for you

MP3

Bodie Lee – Monaco(DJ Agent 86 Disco Bomb Edit)

 

Robo Love?

We changed the name of the Friday night party we hold down at badformat… Robo:Love

I guess we just wanted to be a little more synths and smiles… see you there!.. and join the facebook group!

As well as some moniker brain storming we have been further extending our musical journey of discovery, mining the far flung corners of the internet to get some quality sound gems.

I wholly recommend checking Slutty Fringe and Disco Delicious for heaps of audio treasure.

What a wonderful world of generous creatives we live in… lets spread the LOVE….please go pay some respects..
