futurecop!

futurecop! was found by manzur iqbal from manchester about one year ago, when he started with absolutely no knowledge about music production and wanted to create a sound inspired by 80s teen flicks, especially the movies of john hughes and sci-fi cartoons like transformers or thundercats, not caring about being different or trying to be commercial, even though his music might as well be called pop music.

later on peter carrol from london teamed up with him and together they are now recreating the atmosphere and vibe of the soundtracks to the best 80s movies that never existed. crystal castles and van she tech have already shown futurecop! some love and we'll show you why. first up are two originals and while i am totally in love with 'transformers' which sounds like a track that work it baby or vulture music would release, make sure to check out 'as seen on tv' as well.

futurecop! - transformers
futurecop! - as seen on tv

futurecop! can play rough and create actual bangers as well though, proof is their remix of 'alice practice' by crystal castles which you can get right here:

crystal castles - alice practice (futurecop! remix)

now go add futurecop! on myspace and if you still can't get enough, don't hesitate to head over to fluokids where hianta posted their track 'class of 1984'. read more!

miami horror.

discodust favorite miami horror is back once again, this time providing two literally excellent remixes. while his remix for fellow australian band soft tigers is more true to his original eighties and disco influenced sound, his remix for the dirty secrets (from australia again) is a fast-paced driving electro rock banger with really heavy synths, reminding me of the bloody beetroots and mstrkrft. make sure you get both of them right here, the crowd will love them:

soft tigers - mr. ice cream (miami horror remix)

the dirty secrets - 5 feet of snow (miami horror remix)

miami horror will play some shows in europe from beginning to mid of november, so watch out europeans and check his myspace for latest news on the tour dates. read more!

steed lord.

the incredible steed lord should need no introduction. but just in case you have been living under a (crack) rock, here are some keywords for you: iceland, four-piece, neon, eurocrunk, crazyness, crookers remix, klever remix, excellence.

their 'da dirty mutha ep' is coming up in a few weeks and the album is scheduled for february and steed lord are so slick that they hooked us up with two fresh unreleased tracks. 'bucket of blood' will see a release on the ep, features icelandic hardcore punk pioneer krummi from minus and is an addictive banger destined to fill dancefloors all over the world, bringing some badly needed refreshment to the whole dance punk movement:

steed lord - bucket of blood (featuring krummi)

next up is one of the few instrumental joints off the steed lord album, 'feel the heat' literally makes you feel the heat with its retro synthesizers, banging drums and those roaring guitars are taking you straight to new crack city - "pure discocaine crack heat for your sports car stereo or your mansion's shiny dancefloor" as m.e.g.a. said and i couldn't describe it any better.

steed lord - feel the heat

last one for now is a remix of 'dirty mutha' by dj mehdi from ed banger records which has previously been posted by my friends over at discobelle, steed lord met him in iceland and he obviously had so much fun remixing the track, just listen for yourself:

steed lord - dirty mutha (dj mehdi remix)

watch out for the 'da dirty mutha ep' and the album coming soon from steed lord and hopefully more from them on discodust very soon! read more!

moulinex.

after a much too long break, it feels so good to be back with moulinex - two talented producers from portugal (while one of them currently resides in munich, germany). although their tracks are always as energetic as current rave bangers, their love for classic french house remains obvious and the whole moulinex sound is always deeply rooted in disco with influences ranging from giorgio moroder over daft punk to jackson.

up right here for you are their two latest productions. while 'leisure suit' is a real uplifting disco house tune complete with horns and spacey chords, 'break chops' starts off with cut-up guitar samples and ends up with driving growling synths aiming straight for the floor. you seriously don't want to miss either of them, so get them immediately:

moulinex - leisure suit
moulinex - break chops

also up for you is a brandnew mixtape from moulinex featuring a lot of artists previously introduced on discodust, including the bloody beetroots, miami horror, cryptonites, gingy, russ chimes and college, so this is kind of a tribute to discodust and if you enjoy this blog, i guarantee you will love this mix:

moulinex - libere la femme vol. ii mixtape

find the track list in the comments section and go and add moulinex on myspace now already! thanks for your patience, everyone and watch out for much more real soon! read more!

mr miyagi.

mr miyagi are two guys (quote: 'one rock musician, one computer geek') from sweden while one of them resides in france right now. originally discovered by my friends over at risky bizniz, by now they have released a single on hussle black and scored a couple of official remixes, one of them for cicada.

while mr miyagi are working on their next single (including the really evil 'pick your poison'), here is a banging remix they did for amsterdam's melomanics, full of driving guitar riffs, uplifting chords and, of course, vocoders, in short: the kids will love it!

melomanics - get you (mr miyagi remix)
