one of our current favorite uk producers, bass addict foamo is giving away a dub version of his remix for nas & damian marley's 'as we enter'. loving the use of the mulatu astatke sample here! this is fire!
it has been quite a while since we have heard from electric youth. while both members of the toronto-based boy/girl duo have spent a lot of time in the studio writing, recording and producing recently, nothing besides a collaboration on the grum album has really surfaced yet.
we are about to change this now though, giving you their all new track 'right back to you'. moreover, if you were wondering where that classic melancholic, yet energetic eighties-flavoured 'discodust sound' went, here it is coming right back to you, better than ever. enjoy another discodust premiere!
after his most recent remixes for mark ronson and sunday girl, discodust favorite russ chimes is finally all set to drop his first original release, more particularly an ep named 'midnight club' featuring three all new originals. you can admire the cover artwork above or even better, watch all of the three videos directed by saman keshavarz (known for his sxsw award-winning video for 'luv deluxe' by cinnamon chasers).
pulling off one of the smartest music blog promotion stunts, all three videos combined result in a short movie and one video after another has been unveiled during the past weeks, leading to massive buzz all over the interwebs. so once again, unless you are living under a rock, this post might be rather pointless but being one of the world's greatest russ chimes fanboys in the world, i wanted them mentioned on here as well. deal with it!
and even if you know the videos already, what you might not have heard yet is the brandnew remix russ chimes did for the upcoming single by kelis, called 'scream' (originally produced by david guetta).
we all know that grum went from regular unsigned track premieres on discodust to international stardom and it's all going great with him getting more and more love and gigs all around the world. the new single 'through the night' is due on october 4th and comes with remixes from the swiss, bit funk, perseus, grum himself and others.
if you haven't heard of perseus yet, that's probably because it is the first public release of the team which consists of members from belgium, indonesia and america, including our very own discodust family member leon. but even if he wouldn't be involved, i would have gone for their remix because it's really well done and by far my favorite of the bunch, so get it right here!
in case you didn't drown in 'chillwave' yet or have been living under a rock, you should be familiar with florrie by now, as she constantly keeps on getting love from all over the blogs and just doesn't seem to stop recording and putting out new great tracks. her newest original track 'give me your love' has once again been remixed by both justin faust and fred falke. same as last time around, my favorite has got to be the justin faust remix and i am not just saying that because it's another discodust premiere!
i was told that there are more remixes to follow and florrie has a lot more original music in the works that will be on the web soon, while i am especially excited for her upcoming duet with the one and only annie. check out florrie's website and follow her on twitter.

the amazing people from popjustice, world-famous for being the most influential blog dedicated to high quality pop music, finally started their own label: popjustice hi-fi, which is destined to become a new mecca for (guilty) pleasure seekers. the first release is coming from swedish singer rosanna and a single by london's bright light bright light will follow.
just as you would expect, 'waterfalls' by rosanna is catchy as hell and should go down well in the charts. considering the swedish heritage, the rather melancholic sound labeled as 'gloom pop' and the similarities in their voices, the comparisons to robyn are inevitable but of course that's not a bad thing at all, hinting at more cutting edge pop songs to come. hear the original 'waterfalls' on youtube!
in addition to the original, there's a great remix by discodust favorite fear of tigers which is on a much more uplifting tip, featuring his trademark playful synth sound and slightly over the top guitar solos! good vibes all the way, enjoy another discodust premiere!
although i screwed up regarding featuring them on here before, i have always been a fan of salem and so should you. born and raised on the outstanding acephale label, the true forerunners of the 'drag' genre are going to release their album 'king night' on iamsound late this summer.
the album's title track has just crashlanded on the interwebs and shows a significantly higher influence of the uk's 'purple' sound along with the signature tr-808 drums, eerie synthesizer pads and (not-so) sacred choirs. don't miss this unexpected turn from salem, a very special kind of summer jam!
