The Shoes are a French electro pop duo from Reims which seems to be a breeding ground for electronic producers, Yuksek and Brodinski also originates from the area. The Shoes have made quite a splash in the last year with remix work for the likes of Santigold, Late Of The Pier, The Virgins, Mystery Jets. They’ve also toured all over the world where they’ve played at some of the top festivals. Their new EP “People Movin” will be released on November 9th and features the vocal offerings of Primary 1. We’ve got the glitchy disco/electronica sounding remix from German graffiti artist turned producer Siriusmo that will have you dancing in no time.
The quartet from Castle Donington, Late Of The Pier have been much talked about with the release of the Erol Alkan produced single “Bathroom Gurgle” (remixes coming from Breakbot, Duke Dumont, Filthy Dukes, Tronik Youth + our danish homies Tomski*Fredboy). However, up and coming producer Drums Of Death gives us this bootleg which combines Late Of The Piers spastic mix of dancey electropop with wobbly bass galore.
It’s been a few weeks since Bristolian electro/house producer Plimsouls graced the pages of Discobelle. But now he’s back with a remix of the Mystery Jets single “Two Doors Down”. The Erol Alkan produced band made a wise decision when they gave remixing duties to Plimsouls, pure electro goodness and this will without a doubt make the dancefloor lose it.
British 80’s flavoured electro/rock quartet and Erol Alkan proteeges Late Of The Pier will most likely be one of the bands to watch out for in 2008. Here’s the Rolmops remox of “Focker” which was co-produced with Erol Alkan and is the other track on the double A-side single (will be released on May 19th) along with “Space And The Woods” (check Fluokids for the Switch remix of that). This is maybe not normally what we post here on Discobelle, the original version of “Focker” has been described as “electro madness and Daft Punk Vs Gary Numan on LSD”, it’s a bit weird but good.
