Moullinex - Sunflare EP

We had a great time playing with Xinobi a couple of weeks back, so we're looking forward to Xinobi's Portuguese colleague and co-runner of Discotexas, Moullinex, playing in Stockholm too next Saturday. Moullinex will release a new EP, entitled "Sunflare", on German super label Gomma on October 21. The title track generously comes in two versions; one funky slow-disco version and one more uptempo version for the dancefloor. Both are awesome, and which you'll prefer depends on your mood. The third track is modular synth jam that suits a deeper dancefloor. So if you put the "Sunflare" on at eleven tonight, the Club mix at around one, and "Modular Jam" on around five you'll be set.

If you're in Stockholm Saturday 15, Moullinex will be playing with our friend Richard Testarossa, who also has been released on Gomma. Here's the Facebook event, and a bonus edit from the redhead himself:

New EP from Mercury

The second EP from Mercury is out now via fave label Gomma. The Swiss duo of Mercury make that 90s inspired house with a lot of really huge influences from the 90s dance music, listen to the voice of "You Lift Me Up" over at Beatport, and you know what I mean. Also buy the whole release over there including three original track and two remixes. Here below is the title track to you for free.

Sun Goes Down with Icona Pop

We have the great pleasure to know the duo behind Icona Pop and we're also happy that their latest track featuring The Knocks has been on the list for the most blogged artist for more than a week over at Hype Machine. And it's not strange because this is even a stronger track than their hit "Manners", that was featured on Kitsuné Compilation 10. So, with that said, I give you Icona Pop's best track so far! Let the sun go down...

And because we haven't blogged about "Manners" before, here is that great track in the extended version along with the Captain Cuts remix.

Kris Menace & Rex the Dog

A powerful duo releases "POW!" together. Kris Menace and Rex the Dog in a collaboration, very interesting I would say. Menace is one of the most well-respected producers out there since "Discopolis" and Rex the Dog is one of the highest coveted remixers the last years.

"POW!" is a strong track with distinct sounds from both Menace and Rex, making this into a modern classic maybe? It's released exclusively on Beatport today and available everywhere else October 24. Down here you can stream Rex's Casio version recorded entirely on his vintage Casio CZ230-s.

And as bonus, two classic tracks from these two modern top dogs.

Florence and the Machine + The Weeknd

Florence and the Machine is one favourite act of mine. The voice of Florence Welch, wow, what a voice. The original of "Shake It Out" is fantastic and then hyped The Weeknd make it into another fantastic version. Make babies to this track!

Keljet & Falcon Punch

Not long ago I wrote about the Dutchmen of Keljet and that they finally made their first original since only making remixes before. Now they have teamed up with LA-based Falcon Punch for a feast in the funky nu disco land. "Saturday Night" is a laidback disco track that make you feel good even if it's Sunday today. Nice collaboration that we hopefully will hear more from.

And to me Falcon Punch was a new acquaintance, and it was a pleasant one. Have to say it is was joy from the start. Love the pure disco approach from him. Check out these two fine ones below and also check out the funky mixtape "Falcon Punch 001" and listen to more mixtapes on his SoundCloud
