Tracasseur's best of 2012 on Spotify

We started a new tradition last year by collecting our Top 100 tracks from the year that had passed. We will of course continue this mission this year too, and the next, and the next... As everybody know, not all songs are on Spotify, for example from smaller producers and special remixes. We have based this list on Tracasseur's two Best of lists but also added another 50–60 tunes that deserves to be on a bigger list. So here you have your smorgasbord from 2012! Spread the word our fine friends, this list is for you!

Tracasseur - Best of 2012 on Spotify

Zimmer - Horizontal Disco (Remixes)

Latest from fave label Discotexas is the remix release of Zimmer. The original release was out and about in last half of 2011. Zimmer is the young producer that makes music that get you in the right mood, always. He's mixing all genres from the latest decades and makes it into his own style.

This remix release is of course his music as the base but it's even more the six well-known acts that flavours Zimmer's music with their own spices. The six remixes spans from nu disco into house. It's really hard to pick a fave but Xinobi's and Mercury's remixes are powerful 90's house tunes. Also Broke One's remix slips into that style with pride. And Moullinex always deliver some great stuff.

If you want the release as a transparent 12" vinyl, you can pre-order it here, but hurry, because it's limited to only 200 copies. And you can also buy it digital over at Beatport.

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.
