D.I.S.C.O.Texas + Lapse

If you haven't hopped on the gravy train that left from Lisbon, Portugal yet... then you're too effin' late and you should go die. Well, not really. But srsly.

Moulinex and Xinobi are the acts you'll recognize... but the label has plenty that'll become crystal in no time. To help with label exposure, D.I.S.C.O.Texas has a remix contest up and running over at the Finger On The Pulse NYC, and the ace work has already started flowing in. I'd like to help the party with Lapse's go-at-it. Terrence easily makes a hard-to-follow disco endeavor (talking about the original before 2:20) feel natural.

80's Cover Band Madness

Buffetlibre sent over quit the intriguing link the other day. If you've been sexually active on the blogosphere, then you probably are already aware that these kids are initiating an epic project of the decade. Well maybe not this decade, but one of the last couple decades. Perusing the flyer above, you'll see some pretty heavy names by the likes of GRUM, Culture Prophet, Anoraak, Toxic Avenger, Moulinex, Xinobi, Pink Skull, and We Are Terrorists!

Here's a few direct links, with more to come. Visit Buffetlibre for more retro 80's cover magic! THE POWER IS YOURS! (or was that 90's? hmmmm...) THUNDERCATS! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Mp3: Anoraak - Talking In Your Sleep (The Romantics Cover) ["A little, yes, as many songs from that time i guess (this song was released in 1983). "Talking in your sleep" is a perfect compromise, as it's an amazing pop song, really representing the things i like, and it's just part of my musical kid background."]

Mp3: Moulinex - Come On Closer (Pineapples Cover) ["It's one of the best italo songs ever. Roberto Ferrante recorded this when he was 18 with a really minimum studio (only a synthesizer and a drum machine, all played by hand without a sequencer!).. For vocals he hired a soldier (!) from the NATO base in Napoli..."]

Mp3: RAC feat Karl King - Take On Me (A-Ha Cover) ["I chose this song because it is by far the catchiest song of the 80's. I also chose it because it's a much faster tempo that I'm used to working with, so in a way it's new challenge."]

A Blast from the Past

Not literally... but that has me thinking I should do a weekly regular segment... perhaps Flashback Friday's. Let me do a quick Google search to see how many thousands of other blogs do the same exact thing, and then I'll get back to you.

In the mean time, I did want to post a few songs that give that 'blast from the past' vibe. And remember, when talking about 80's inspired electro, its all about the synths baby... bask in that synth glory!

Mp3: Xinobi - BMX (Moulinex Remix)

Mp3: Futurecop! - Class of 1984

Mp3: Futurecop! - As Seen on TV

Mp3: Loose Shus - Taurus

Mp3: Kavinsky - Wayfarer (Plus Move Remix)

Mp3: Moulinex - Break Chops

Discodust and Valerie are probably two of the best sources for this type of material, so check their blogs regularly if you develop a fetish for retro sounding beats.
