80s

FNP - SHE'S A TIGER

Music, Original MixAlli LindseyComment

Critically-acclaimed producer FNP returns to the new year with his industrial synthwave marvel titled “She’s A Tiger.” Synthesizing the sounds of the 80s, the track is a thrilling listen with a bold, warehouse appeal. Anchored to a nodding house beat and four-on-the-floor kicks, “She’s A Tiger” is gritty, bold electronic music at its apex. Speaking on the fiery tech-house joint FNP says, “the track started as an analogue jam with some of my favourite synths and from there it built to something I’m really happy with.”

DONKEYBOY - KALEIDOSCOPE

Music, Original MixMike DooseComment

With a name like Donkeyboy you’d expect something different than this song. As someone who only just heard about this band who is apparently massively popular in their home country of Norway, I would have expected something humorous like Flight of the Conchords or Reggie Watts, but instead I got this happy-as-hell electro-pop anthem dripping with 80s-inspired sounds. You know what though? I’m not at all mad—I’ve actually been playing it on repeat.

GRIMES - REALITI (EMBRZ REMIX)

Music, RemixMike DooseComment

Canadian singer-songwriter/producer Grimes, aka Claire Boucher, the electro-pop dance queen who broke out in 2012 has always mesmerized me. She’s one of those all-around artistic talents who is deeply involved in all aspects of everything she releases from videos and art to the engineering of the music itself. 

It’s to our delight that Dublin-born producer EMBRZ has chosen to remix “Realiti” from her 2015 album Art Angels. He’s taken the 80s-inspired indie-dance tune and beefed it up into a deep, rich, future-friendly house number. With pumping synth and side chain, EMBRZ has shown what he loves to do production-wise when it comes to remixes: create a driving danceable track that showcases forward thinking sound design while still preserving the essence of the original track.
