Our extended family over in New York, Plant Music, has another quality release on the way. Loose Shus is from San Francisco, he was featured as a part of URB Magazine’s Next 100 for 2009 and will also be on the upcoming “Valerie And Friends” compilation (put together by the good people in French collective Valerie). This 12″ release “Taurus” sees him bringing us pulsing synths, funky riffs and sharp beats for that new breed of disco. We’ve got the track “Six Minute” and remix by Los Angeles producer Keenhouse of the title track.

Swedish italodisco queen Sally Shapiro gets a helping hand from French 80′s electro loving producer Anoraak (associated with the Valerie collective) for this remix of her track “Anorak Christmas”. This is tender, heartbreaking and wintery electropop that will make you slow dance the night away.

The Outrunners are from Nantes, France and they’re part of the Valerie collective (which also includes College, Anoraak, Minitel Rose and Russ Chimes). The Valerie crew are hellbent on taking over the world with the help of Technicolor synths and dreamy disco, they make good use of both on this track (which have circulated on the blogs this week) where Russ Chimes provides a remix that also features some vocoder action along with a pulsating beat to give us something simply irresistible. The Outrunners + Russ Chimes = A perfect sunday jam.
