Audio: Giorgio Moroder – ‘Good For Me’ (ft. Karen Harding)

0

Last year, Giorgio Moroder shared Deja Vu, his first record in 23 years, and a project which sought to expand his support for disco-enthused pop throughout the decades.

Today, the Italian icon returns with his brand new single Good For Me, a tie-up with our very own Karen Harding, and what sets a prelude to new releases as he returns to Casablanca Records. “I am so excited to share new music with you and to work with the Casablanca family…..It just makes sense. It feels like home” he said.

Stream The xx’s exclusive BBC Maida Vale Studios set for Radio 1

0

The xx announced their return to the scene yesterday, revealing On Hold, the first single from their upcoming third studio album I See You.

In celebration, the trio took to BBC’s Maida Vale Studios to perform a special 30-minute set, which included the world’s first live outing of the new single, alongside previous releases Islands and Angels, among others. The xx also used the platform to chat with Annie Mac about the formation of I See You too.

Grab a listen in full below; I See You lands in January and can be preordered over on iTunes right away:

Audio: KDA – ‘Just Say’ (ft Tinashe) (Faithless & Cassius remixes)

Two surprise new remixes of KDA and Tinashe’s Just Say have hit the web, with both Faithless and Cassius kicking their own unique style of dance music onto one of this summer’s biggest joints.

Grab a listen to both edits in full below;

Audio: Just Us – ‘Everytime It Rains / Cloudbusting’

On paper, this one probably shouldn’t work, however US duo Just Us have lifted a sample from Kate Bush’s Cloudbusting and twisted it into one of the most gorgeous house tracks we’ve heard in a while.

Pete Tong’s already shown Everytime It Rains some love, but tonight the joint received Annie Mac’s latest ‘Hottest Record’ moniker, and we couldn’t agree with that title more.

Audio: Childish Gambino – ‘Me and Your Mama’

Donald Glover has announced the return of his Childish Gambino namesake as he preps the release of his third studio album Awaken, My Love.

Set to land early next month, the confirmation of the new project comes preceded by the rock/funk-influenced Me and Your Mama, a track premiered by Zane Lowe as his Beats 1 World Record (and subsequently spun 6 times in a row!).

Grab a listen in full below; Awaken, My Love drops on 2nd December.

Premiere: Feder – ‘Lordly’ (The Parakit Remix)

Parisian producer Feder certainly struck a chord when he teamed up with Alex Aiono on Lordly earlier this year; the track combined everything a modern-day ‘EDM’ jam asks for – subtle yet thumping whilst also vocal yet grooving in parts. Therefore it comes of no surprise that a full remix EP is on its way.

Set to land next Friday (18th November), the remix pakage features edits from The Parakit, TRXD and Wielki, as well as an instrumental version of the single, and it’s the former that we’re excited to premiere for you today.

Parisian-based The Parakit definitely throw a sharper focus toward the club-heads with their rework, hearing a greater emphasis on moulding the vocals with a more up-tempo, involving beat. In a time where both electronic dance and electronic house seem to be converging genres (whilst offering little new), The Parakit deliver with a fresh look at both elements of the scene that’s so ‘next level’ that it deserves to stand upon a pedestal against the rest.

Give it a chance below; after a couple of plays, you’ll appreciate where we’re coming from:

Video: Gorgon City – ‘Smile’ (ft. Elderbrook)

0

Gorgon City and Elderbrook have shared their new video for Smile, delivering an emotive clip which looks at the background life of a US stripper as she strives to earn money to provide for herself and her daughter.

Catch the compelling visual in full below; Smile is set to appear on Gorgon City’s forthocming double-album Kingdom, set to land early next year.

Audio: Aquilo – ‘Sorry’

Aquillio have announced details of their long-awaited debut album Silhouettes, alongside sharing the project’s latest single, Sorry.

Set to land early next year, Silhouettes will open with the collection’s title-track, released earlier this year, with a further 13-tracks (alongside past singles Never Seen You Get So Low and You Won’t Know Where You Stand). The album will also see credits from SOHN and Ólafur Arnalds.

Audio: The Weeknd – Starboy (Kygo Remix)

Though Kygo’s Cloud 9 debut was up there as a solid first stab at a full-lengther, the Norweigian’s plus-point has always been his strength in remixing, and today he continues that theme by sharing his surprise rework of The Weeknd and Daft Punk’s Starboy.

Unveiled in the early hours, Kygo delivers an edit which remarkably steers away from his signature ‘tropical house’ sonics; instead keeping close to the original, albeit with a slight electronic ‘nip and tuck’ throughout (particularly around the chorus).

Starboy has never been a song which felt necessary of a remix, however Kygo’s trickery works well enough here for us to welcome a subtle rework into the spin. Grab a listen below:
