New Adeyhawke material. Yay! Well, maybe not so new but I’ve been out of it for a couple days but here we are with the latest of the latest Valerie act.

Adeyhawke is a representative of the Valerie sound from the UK like Futurecop! He’s from Dublin. You might know him from our previous posts. Remixed Anoraak and Hail Social (we haven’t yet posted this latter one so I’ll make up for the mistake).

I guess you can imagine the sound by now. 80s of course, synths of course, sci-fi romance of course. New song Gigavolt Angel is like a troubadour robot singing its courtly love to a muse, an angel made of the heaviest lightning. Thanks to DiscoDust.

Warning! Coolness alert! We’ve already posted about GRUM a couple times but I think we haven’t mentioned Le Castle Vania yet. I first heard about Dylan Eiland when he remixed Kill the Noise’s Hey You and that was some amazing gasoline on the fire. Umm…he was remixed by The Toxic Avanger and LA Riots so the hipness-o-meter is just rising and rising exponentially. And of course, opening for Steve Aoki can never hurt for a successful dj-career. Dj Dylan remixed Snowden, 120 Days and the newest stuff is this GRUM song. Thanks to DiscoDust.

This tune bangs and everything. Not better than the original, maybe it’s just fitted for a bit more dancefloor-madness. The sad thing is that I can’t not like it. Why wouldn’t I want to? Take a look at this photo:

Now take a look at this one:

Am I the only one who thinks that there’s something wrong with the universe? First I thought this is a joke. I mean WHAT THE FUCK? And it’s not just about looks. Or it is only about that. I must say that I would choose darkness. The whole thing is so artificially cheesy, it gives me the creeps to think about the future celebrity events, by then everyone will have a button on his hand to trigger a electronic orgasm…Burroughs-style. BiBaBiDi was so right: “Hack DJs clutter out clubs pretending to be the voices of a generation, but have no idea what the hell their generation is, who don’t give a rat’s, and haven’t an iota of a clue as to how to become relevant. Let’s just mosh in the meantime, right? Next time you consider checking out Le Castle Vania or Steve Aoki or Guns ‘n Bombs, resolve to staying home and watching Jeopardy at 3 AM. It’s better than walking into a club, immersing yourself in the noise and confusion, and fooling yourself into thinking it’s music.”

So yeah, you can download this one and bang it with superbass (which is okay, I do it sometimes) or jump a post backwards for the Hammer of Gods track.

Continuing our series of absolutely sick remixes from the UK. Revolte is a French duo (famous among other things for remixing Voyager by Daft Punk and being on a Kitsuné compilation). According to DiscoDust they rarely work face to face together, they do the stuff through the internet, and the two of them have completely different approaches to music. GRUM is a producer guy from the UK who had started with 80s funk stuff a while ago. So now the strangely named GRUM (after mixing Late of the Pier, Armand van Helden, Kings of Leon, Love Motel) took this already cool track and created a hybrid of dancefloor-filling electro and weird sounds, synths, chopped vocals, etc (kinda feels like a twisted SebastiAn rework). Check GRUM’s own tracks as well and the We Are Terrorists remix of the same Revolte track too.

You already know how much we like Crystal Castles. You are aware as well of our love for remixers from London. The following track is around for a while (exactly from September, 2007) but I’ve just discovered it and thought that it’s so remarkably INSANE that I have to share it somehow. So get ready for the remix of Alice Practice by Futurecop! It’s sick.

Futurecop! is inspired by 80s sci-fi movies and cartoons. Sounds hip, right? They’re going to be huge so you don’t wanna miss it now. They’re a duo now but ‘Manzur Igbal’ started it alone and he learned to make music on his own! Awesome. The whole futuredisco concept was invented by a German DJ, now FutureFlashs. He coined the name ‘future disco’. Check the myspace for mix-series.

“Modern synthetic electronic Sound mixed with much Space Elements, influenced by Retro ..70 and ..80 Sounds and Samples of the TV and Pop Culture - a perfect new Sound Mix, called - Future Disco - is born. A new Dimension of ultra modern melodic but banging Space Sound rocks the whole Dancefloor.”

It’s a nice expression, I’ll stick to it. Or how post-daft sounds? Nevermind, the thing is that it’s shiny and brand new! Discodust blog parties from Germany or Valerie crew (who actually inspired the new term) from France are maybe the most well-known examples. So be prepared for artists like SymbolOne, Moulinex, Minitel Rose, and a lot of stuff from Australia cause they’ll take the dancefloor over in a short time. Kunk is on the bandwagon. We’re gonna bring future disco.
