Hemingway

19 November 2010

Some disco-funk for the Friday winter sun? Well yes. Toronto’s finest Hemingway has got a few new things up his sleeve – his Pacific Boogie remix of Housse De Racket’s “Oh Yeah!” and two new original track in “Metro” and “Indigo”. All demonstrate his rather considerable skill at getting that electro funk pulsating and getting straight into that blissed out vibe.
.

Hat tips to ex-SiSers Too Many Sebastians and Stoney Roads for this one.

Digitalism – Blitz EP

Digitalism will always have a special place in my soul due to them soundtracking an impromptu protest silent disco one December a few years back, but after the massive success of tracks such as Pogo and Zdarlight they’re back in town.

There’s only two new tracks on offer here – Blitz and Stratosphere. Blitz is exactly what you expect from the two Germans, with enough synthy Daft Punkness to let everyone know where they’ve come from, and Stratosphere is a more laid back affair, with a groove running slightly behind the beat. As good as each song is though, I do feel myself missing a vocal melody or for the boys to up the noise assault a little.

As for the remixes, Villa vs Popy add a few trancey tweaks, but Harvard Bass up the tempo, throws in some house sounds and makes me want to hit the dancefloor. Hard.

Back when the blogging world (including us) was all hyped about Cults, Guards emerged in the mirror with more than a few similarities to the ex-Forest Family and new Columbia signing.

Now Guards are the ones putting out their EP on very limited edition (only 500 pressings) vinyl heavyweight through 3 Syllables Records next week and it’s a beauty. All the poptastic hooks of their hype-deserving friends, but rougher, dirtier and deeper.

To coincide with this release in physical form, Guards are offering the EP for free download (see below) alongside a new track that’s up on SoundCloud.
