FRED FALKE - IT'S A MEMORY (OLIVER REMIX)

Ah yess another amazing "It's A Memory" remix! Fred Falke has lined up some killer artists to rework his single featuring slick versions by Amtrac (listen here), Chrome Sparks (here) and now Oliver! Coming off of rich remixes of Jack Ü's "To Ü ft. AlunaGeorge" and BORNS' "Electric Love." Oliver stays hot with a feel good, perfectly 80's take on the original with a groovier lead synth line of the original's melody, and oh soo funky bass. Oliver comes close to out-funking Fred Falke on this one ha ha, but lets be real no one can do that. The whole remix EP is due to drop on February 26th but you can grab that pre-sale here. 

SATCHMODE - FURTHER AWAY

Ok I'm fully coming to terms with the fact that I'm totally loving all the 80's revival tracks that are coming out right now. Tracks like this one "Further Away" by LA's Satchmode has such a magical retro feel to it, not to mention the total earworm hook and velvet like production. Utilizing warm arpeggiated synths, the Phil Collins big tom fills, and a classic sounding distorted synth solo at the second dance chorus, this track hits the Top Gun vibes spot on. Oh and it fades out at the end ha ha, something I've noticed songs don't really do anymore. 

BABE - BABY YOU'RE RIGHT (TOUCH TONE REMIX)

I'm absolutely loving the neon 80's vibes that are on the rise right now. This Touch Tone remix of "Baby You're Right" by the band Babe sounds like it came straight out of 1986 and it JAMS! I watched Fast Times At Ridgemont High a couple nights ago (such a great movie) and I'm definitely seeing the 80's trend in both fashion and music exploding everywhere. Los Angeles has several artists rocking the retro 80's vibes and perhaps that might be a good idea for a future vibe guide issue. Back to the music, Touch Tone's remix is light, happy and groovy with a splash of tropical beach flare. The classic 80's arpeggiated saw bass line encapsulates Babe's lyrics making all my cares this Saturday float away, AND it's a free download here!
