Ride The Universe have always been doing top shelf work since we first heard them a year ago. Synth driven sounds with a dreamy air and funky footing, they’ve been lighting up late night dance floors with their euphoric remixes, but now we get to hear their debut original material. And what a debut this is.
Marrying their style with vibrant vocals from Australian Jane Hanley, they’ve created this blissful dance jam that’s nothing short of amazing. You’d have to be a zombie to not get down to this incredible synth work, and they even included a talk box. Yup, amazing.
This delicious bitty is available on the fantastic Electronic Rumors Vol. 1 compilation, which you should buy immediately if you haven’t already. A full tracklist of great synth pop/indie/nu disco/dreamwave songs to keep you burning all summer, I have to give big ups to Clive on the epic release!

What happens when you mix New Kids on the Block with Scotch? Funky disco goodness.
Juan Sanchez & The Bullet make up the duo that is Speedboats & Big Explosions. “Fighting crime in funky times”, SBBE have a funky big room house sound, and in their remix of NKOTB’s Step By Step, we’re hit with a fat bass and a disco synth feel on top of the classic 90s pop song. It’s a free download, so if you’re in the mood for a throwback, get on ‘er.
If you look through some of SBBE’s older works, there’s some great finds (and a lot of it scotch powered mixes). Some of their originals lean towards the deep house genre, but I particularly enjoy their mashup of Crazibiza & Kevin Prise vs Azealia Banks:
After coming back from a long weekend of partying and mixing to big crowds, I’m loving the high energy tracks!

A collective of french artists and producers including Florian Bery, Pleasurelove, Starlesoufs, Sample Jack, Le Crayon, Sébastien Faure, Kosski and PAUL!. This is Le Delight Club.
I’ll give a tip for those who don’t know, France is the shit, and has been for eons. So as soon as I saw “french collective”, I was intrigued. After looking at the artists, I was excited. Then I pressed play, and now I’m dancing with a big ol’ grin on my face. Pumping french house to fantastic disco samples to sexy ocean house vibes, this entire compilation is a blissful delight. Download it all here.

Just under a month after giving away his first original track Toys, Australian born Plastic Plates keeps the ball rolling with another original, More Than Love. Nu disco at it’s finest, show him some love for the free download.

I finally decided to listen to the original Heartbeat, which I quickly found was not really my thing, with it’s kind of a dark mood that made me feel like punching something instead of dancing. But up until now Oliver’s version was the only remix I enjoyed. Now I have two, with Justin Faust getting my feet lifted for the entire five minutes. Injecting Childish Gambino with the beautiful soul of disco, he’s made this into one amazing and euphoric dance jam. Love.

Go Go Bizkitt! is widely known for his club killing, hard hitting disco house sound, but what some people may not know is that Go Go also absolutely kills it with smoother funk and nu disco elements. Taking this style to Simple from Italian newcomer Stereocool, he keeps the beat energetic and the mood sexy, this is top shelf.
