Justin Faust - Girl Talk EP

Last Friday Justin Faust released his new EP "Girl Talk" on Discotexas. Bad timing, since we're amidst the summer holidays. Or at least I've been. Then again, Jonny would probably argue that I've been on vacation since around February. On the upside I had the opportunity to meet up with Justin in Munich where we talked about the EP (and of course how much we're looking forward to the new Jersey Shore season). Not surprisingly he was very happy with the EP; both his originals and the remixes. It seems we, him and the Discotexas people aren't the only ones since it went straight up to top 5 on Beatport's Indie Dance/Nu Disco chart. Well deserved!

To me, G.L.O.V.E.S' remix narrowly edges out Bit Funk's and Herr Styler's strong remixes as my favourite of the bunch. Great to hear some new stuff from one of the true great Australian acts. Let's hope he pulls a Bag Raiders very soon. If he does we'll try to convince him to end his World tour in Stockholm, oh let's say next spring?

Of all the great music we should write about but end up not writing about (since we really need to hire some interns), Discotexas' last release with Lazydisco needs a mention. Lazydisco made that awesome remix of Toro y Moi last winter remember? The EP contains more of that smooth and funky lazydisco, plus some great remixes.

After this little round-up we are happy to spread the news that our Polish darlings Kamp! will release their next single on Discotexas. That's something to look forward to!

Terminal Twilight and Zimmer

Today I thought I'd write about not one but two releases from Discotexas, to maximize your disco pleasure and to make up for our rather lazy blogging of late. Let's take them in order.

Zimmer is a young man who grew up in California and Paris, something you might hear in his laid-back yet chic music. "Cruisin'", released last week, works not only when cruising down to the beach to take a dip in the Pacific Ocean, but probably just as well cruising down Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré.

The upcoming release of Terminal Twilight's "Black and Blue" seems to have come about in a less than smooth way. It's actually a re-release of a deleted vinyl single, and managing to destroy most of their original tracks during a studio move meant they had to record a new version. The result is a nice deep disco tune with dub influences that will make you mix it with your old Basic Channel vinyls. The release also include great remixes from Lazydisco, Mirror People and Astrolabe, where my favourites are Lazydisco's funky disco house and Astrolabes electropop.

Toro y Moi + Lazydisco

More from Toro y Moi and more from the Discotexas crew. Lazydisco, also known as Rockets (and formerly Discorockets), has made this chilled out remix of Toro y Moi's "Still Sound", and he is kind enough to share it with us, today being Valentine's day and all. And what could be more suitable than sharing some make out house on a day like this?
