Punks Jump Up - Mr. Overtime featuring Dave-1 (Oliver Remix)

I can't remember the last time I loved a collaboration as much as this.  Oliver remixes Punks Jump Up's track "Mr. Overtime", which features Dave-1 of Chromeo fame on vocals.  This track ROCKS.  Lots of sounds, a great beat, and awesome synths.  Totally a banger for the clubs, and should have the fans jumping.  Also dig the incredibly retro cover art.  Nice work, Oliver/Punks Jump Up/Dave-1!

The Sanfernando Sound Remixes Matthew Duffy's "Clever Lover"

From The Sanfernando Sound comes a new remix of Matthew Duffy's "Clever Lover".  This is one dark, brooding jam with great arpeggios and leads.  I especially dig the moving pads around 2:03, which have a beautiful natural movement.  Excellent work from The Sanfernando Sound and Matthew Duffy.

Lifelike - "Barcelona" by The Plasticines Remix

Recently been falling in love with some of Lifelike's tracks.  Her'es his remix of the Plasticines "Barcelona".  Awesome beat and full sound.  Rock on.

Queen of Hearts "Neon" [Lightwaves Remix]

 

  Queen of Hearts - Neon (Lightwaves Remix) by Lightwaves

Lightwaves has just released an awesome new remix of "Neon" by Queen of Hearts.  Things have been a little low-key on Lightwaves' end these days (I can assure you, he's hard at work on some great new music) so it's nice to see an appearance of a great remix.  Dig this dance-y tune on your Friday night.

Chromeo - When The Night Falls [Official Video]

A couple days ago, Chromeo released their new video for "When The Night Falls" featuring Solange Knowles.  I don't normally post up videos on this site, but this one is just too good.  Also, it's got some incredible remixes... check out Breakbot's below.  Chromeo has an incredible synth collection, as seen in their appearance in Future Music a couple months ago.

Manchester Week: Jules Schimmer

The Sanfernando Sound - This Is The Sound Jules Schimmers Italo Dub by Jules Schimmer

Closing out our feature on Manchester this week is the brilliant JULES SCHIMMER.  Recently he's been releasing great mixes on his SoundCloud and he is currently working on new tracks that you'll see sometime soon.  You'll also find a wealth of his awesome remixes there as well.  Like the other Mancunians, Jules very much loves the sounds of the 80s, which ties this feature together really well.  If I had to explain Jules' sound to a new listener, I'd simply say "he makes his synths Schimmer".

Check below to find out about Jules' influences, what he uses in the studio, and read about his live shows.  He'll also break down an amazing bass that's featured in his remix of Anoraak, which will help you get started on making your own great bass patches.
