Yuksek. This dude has been involved in various nu disco projects since 2005, and collaborations with heavyweights The Magician and Aeroplane have yielded several top notch releases. I featured his collab with The Magician in an earlier post, Memory is an epic unforgettable nu disco journey. His newest release is an EP entitled “The Edge,” and it is straight GROOVY. Released earlier today, the EP features 4 remixes in addition to the superb original. Aeroplane’s remix is the highlight, it bangs along with that signature uplifting synth that we know and love. Barney force fed me the remix of Gossip’s hit Heavy Cross a while back, and I ate it up. This track BANGS, beginning soft, listeners are kept unaware of the funk fest waiting up ahead. He again shows his remixing prowess in the complete rework of Stuck in the Sound’s track Brother. The original is a grungy indie-rock tune, and his funkified electro redo will make you question whether it’s even the same stems. Finally, Tonight gets a great disco refresh from Andre Anjos AKA RAC. Hailing from my hometown of Portland OR, this guy gives the Frenchman’s track a upbeat kick/snare and it rides along beautifully, with lasers. Always with lasers.
Enjoy!
