harris robotis + heads we dance.

yeah... heads we dance will sound very familiar to you. not even two weeks ago we presented you the sidechains remix of their single 'the human touch'. as you might have also heard the aa-side called 'you are never alone with model 21', you will probably not have heard the harris robotis remix of it though. unfortunately it didn't make it onto the single. who knows why, since i actually think this italo/disco-ish flavoured edit fits the new romantic style vocal even better than the original. it definitely grew on me making me happier from listen to listen. but hear for yourself:

heads we dance - never alone with model 21 (harris robotis 1981 remix)

i'm sure both/both will appreciate your myspace love for them! read more!

super mal + phonat.

i have been a big fan of back then italian and now london-based producer phonat ever since i first heard him. actually one of his tracks was featured in the very first post on discodust, back then when i was still young and careless and not playing by the rules. so of course i was overly happy when i got this track by super mal and phonat in the mail today and of course it's nothing but greatness when the retro arcade video lovers clash with 'a hyperactive daft punk on happy pills'. ranging somewhere in between disco house, french touch, fidget and electro house, 'pixelated' is definitely a sure shot!

super mal & phonat - pixelated

and just in case you have been living under a rock, here is the '4 to the floor mix' of phonat killer mash-up track 'learn to recycle' which is recently in playlists all over the globe.

phonat - learn to recycle (4 to the floor mix)

'pixelated' along with remixes is due in january on bandito records, super mal's very own label. read more!

hostage.

my man jason forrest's new label nightshifters keeps up the high level of top notch releases and strikes back with a new ep by discodust resident super favorite hostage. 'shake it' features four prime-time club bangers plus remixes, including a rework by ac slater. you all know what hostage sounds like and what he is capable of, so no more words needed. here's one track off the ep, get crazy on this, ravers!

hostage - the slave

twisted wires.

the good people over at as restless as we are consistantly post some of the greatest in both classic and new disco. about two weeks ago they posted a rough mix of 'one day at the raw deal' by twisted wires, a track soon to be released on italians do it better. i don't know anything about this formation besides the fact that a certain kim systems (who might be pictured above, at least i stole the picture from his myspace) is their frontman, for some more information consult the restless. however, this is one more of those great disco noir-vibe tunes that we all love, so get it already and enjoy!

twisted wires - one night at the raw deal

watch out for the actual release on italians do it better. read more!

appaloosa.

appaloosa are anne-laure keib who sounds a tiny bit like nico (without the 'hard to get into' part) and max krefeld, originally from munich, now residing in london, who is making some twisted yet in the best of all ways naive synth (almost chip) music. they have been touring with no one else but the world indie girl leader cat power and in some way, they also sound like a more danceable version of chan marshall. i think that's about the greatest thing one could say about a boy/girl band, so instead of talking any longer, here's one of their songs.

appaloosa - the day we fell in love

all credits for this find go to the very first mp3 blog ever, fluxblog. and yet, just like la roux, 'the day we fell in love' is also taken from the latest maison compilation on kitsuné. maybe i should feel bad for ripping them off twice on one day but then again, maybe they should feel proud because they're just too damn good? show appaloosa some myspace love! read more!

worship.

worship spent most of his teenage years in his parents' basement playing with old synthesizers. as he was way ahead of his time back then, he forgot all about them synths throughout his university years - until he discovered kavinsky and the greatness of valerie which brought him straight back to his first love, ending up with 'the dome', a compilation of three wonderful handcrafted epic synth anthems. 'lights' is my favorite but feel free to serve yourself and choose your own!

worship - ritual action (the dome part ii)

pelifics.

pelifics is half italian, half norwegian and works as a graphic designer in oslo, norway. besides graphics, typography (obviously) and music (even more obvious) are the other things he loves. he is influenced by a lot of 80s pop and disco music, because 'a lot of music from that era apears very lighthearted and catchy, but at the same time it often has a bitter sweet melancholy to it'.

and as i am in love with the very same things for the very same reasons, it's about time that i give all of you a healthy dose of pelifics' italo-norwegian disco. i've had these songs for a while and i am such a fool for not hooking you up with them earlier because basically discodust is all about dreamy pop songs with great melodies maintaining a certain punch in the drums section. and pelifics has got it all!

pelifics - forever
pelifics - guess what paula, you're sued

also check out pelifics' personal portfolio over at teipu.net and of course show him some myspace love. read more!
