Midnight Pool Party's Top 5 Tracks

We've been pretty big fans of Midnight Pool Party for a while now. They make stellar nu-disco music, and we've been smitten by pretty much everything they've released so far. We got in touch with them and thought we'd bring to you their top 5 favorite tracks at the moment. Considering their sound, it's safe to say their top 5 is pretty stellar.

1. Flight Facilities - Foreign Language

Australian artist who do their own style of disco and they kill it. With this particular song, we love the instrumentation with melodic bass lines, clean guitars and catchy lyrics.

2. The Swiss - Elouisa

Another Aussie act that give their own spin of modern four to the floor.  The electronic drums in this track sit perfectly with the vintage synths being played.  But it doesn't stop there, they are able to replicate that sound in their live set!

3. Prince - Wanna Be your Lover

This song is just perfect.  The quick chord changes, that guitar playing on every beat, the pockets in the song, the simple beat, and mostly the attitude that Prince brings when he hits those high notes!

4. Breakbot - Baby I’m Yours

We like everything about Breakbot, especially this song.  It has an awesome down tempo groove with piano chords and lyrics complimenting each other.  It is evident who Breakbot's influences are, and we love them too!

5. Miami Horror - Make You Mine

Again, another big Aussie act who produce great music.  With this song in particular, the drums, percussion and bass work so well together creating that funky vibe!  

JAWS - SWIM

Indie-pop band JAWS dropped their latest single "Swim" a few days ago. The track features the same angsty vocals that Jaws fans have become accustomed to. Their new single sounds a lot like Wild Nothing, and has guitar samples reminiscent of The Smiths. A must hear for any one into quality music, feel free to support JAWS here, and watch out for their new album "Be Slowly" which comes out on September 15th.

Goldroom- Till sunrise (Box of Wolves Premix)

Box of Wolves, a band that has been in the spotlight here at Disco Unchained several times, released their newest remix of Goldroom's latest track "Till Sunrise" just a  few hours ago. The track features supreme vocals, and a synthy yet funky backing track that will keep all you 80's kids coming back for more and more!

Tobtok ft. Emil Heró - Higher

A few questions for the artist

Who are the artists who you would consider most influential to yourself?

“I think we have all been influenced unwittingly by Daft punk, Kraftwerk, Giorgio Moroder more recently Kavinsky.

I listen to a lot of music (80's funk, metal, hip hop, electro, G-funk, rock and more). So I think all these styles influenced me, involuntarily.

Currently artists like: Bestrack, Starcadian, Daze, Besnine, to go even farther. I have tremendous respect for their work.”

 Is being a musician a full time thing for you, or do you make music on the side of having a full time job?

“I make music with pure passion, that's why I do not have a Bandcamp. Warning, I do not mean to offend any artists who possess a Bandcamp page. Instead, I try to share my music with all the people who like my music and I regularly send my songs to people who ask for it!”

 When did you become interested in becoming a musician?

“I have always been more than interested in music since I was young, but I got into it seriously 5 years ago. I used to play sports at a high level so I used trained a lot, but I hurt myself so I had to take time off and that’s when music became evident to me. “

Do you have a favorite scary movie, if so what is it?

“"He is back!” I believe the English title is "It" This movie traumatized my whole generation!!!”

Any new work on the way? EPs, singles etc.

“I am working on several projects at the moment but I will not say too much, as I would like to keep the suspense. ;-)”

 What do you do for fun, besides make music?

“Nothing.”
