Moullinex - Take A Chance (Satin Jackets Remix)

If you're into synth music, then you must already be familiar with both Moullinex and Satin Jackets
..These guys have been in the loop for years now, and unlike some of the other artists in the scene, they've managed to not only stay true their sound, but they've also managed to grow immensely as producers. Moullinex's '''take a chance'' was beautiful to begin with, but the Stain Jacket's remix is really something else.. Smooth 70s guitar licks and dreamy vocals make this track an absolute gem. Be sure to pump this on the Hype Machine as well, it's high time this kinda music gets the publicity it deserves. Special thanks to our good buds at DiscoTexas for keeping the sick tunes rolling.

Good friends of Miami Horror and the Disco Unchained family, That's Nice (notorious for his remix of ''Shame'' by ''All the Colors'') is out with a brand new remix for Woolf and the wondershow's  brilliant track ''Cloaked''. Expect what you'd imagine to expect from That's Nice; smooth disco synths and creative bass patterns. Be sure to add this remix to your weekend playlists, and defo hype it on the Hype Machine too (artists like That's Nice deserve it).

Jordan F: Discovery Mixtape + Tracklisting

Australian Synthwave producer Jordan F recently told me about a sick monthly mixtape series he wanted to start in the not-so-distant future. I loved the idea because, frankly, very few synthwave artists even release mixtapes anymore  (I remember the good old days when Anoraak would drop mixes on the regular, along with College and Maethelvin). 

Anyway, I thought it would be pretty rad to premiere Jordan F's first official mixtape, ''Discovery'' on Disco Unchained...The tape is synthy, funky, groovy, cosmic, retro, cultured, organized, and all around classy. ''Discovery'' is perfect for driving, chilling, or pretty much doing anything, so be sure to check it out below. The tracklisting is also exclusively available below as a treat for you guys. Some key words are: Neptune Safari, Zimmer, and Mitch Murder. 





Tracklisting:

D/A/D – Terminal
Mitch Murder – Snow Crash
Flight Facilities – Down To Earth
Neptune Safari – Nebula
Les Loups – Colourblind
Tinashe – Vulnerable (Pomo Remix)
Indeep – Last Night The DJ Saved My Life (LeMarquis Remix)
Luke Million – Light & Sound
Lifelike – Overdrive
Kource – Down
MØ – Don’t Wanna Dance (Zimmer Remix)

TJH87 - Deadlock - Roisto Remix

The mysterious Roisto definitely knows disco. And that's coming from us... His remix of TJH87's ''Deadlock'''is solid gold. It's USDA approved beef, that's how good it is. One listen and you'll be hooked. Roisto's funky guitar licks, and sexy vocals are uniquely hypnotic. A devilishly catchy track. Enjoy.

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!

Bright Light Bright Light - An Open Heart (Alan Braxe Remix)- Exclusive Track Premiere!!!

If there's one artist that never fails to deliver, its Alan Braxe. I've personally been a fan of his for years now. I was sold when he released, ''Voices'' a while back. His latest sound, however, might just top all the work he's done yet. A true sign of a real musician- he manages to keep getting better with each release (which is extremely difficult given the standard of his work). 

His latest release, an absolutely hypnotic remix of Bright Light Bright Light's ''An Open Heart'', is probably one of the coolest synth-based tracks i've heard all year. It has all the elements of the ideal track; a unique rhythm, sick guitar riffs, and clever chorus build-ups. The ''X" factor which this track, however, is how the lyrics go with the synth. The last time I heard a track as powerful as this was in 2010 when GLOVES' remixed ''Changes'' by Van She. So yeah, it's been a while since i've heard something as cool as this. Definitely give Alan Braxe's new remix a spin below, and be sure to throw some love at him here.

Midnight Pool Party - If You Were Mine (Exclusive Track Premiere!!!)

One of our favorite nu-disco bands 'Midnight Pool Party' just released their latest single, ''If You Were Mine'' on Mammal Sounds. There's something about Australians and funky music- they just get it. 'Midnight Pool Party' delivers yet again with their latest gem. 'If You Were Mine' features sexy 70s disco vocals and a crazy bass line. Funky music to dance to, drive to, or simply vibe to.

Tesla Boy - Stars (Killy Cakes Remix)- Exclusive Track Premiere!!!

Did somebody say Disco? Tesla Boy's brand new track, 'Stars' is probably one of the most creative, and for that matter, original disco inspired tracks we've heard in a long time...However,  Killy Cakes takes the ''cake'' for their sexy remix of the track. Killy Cakes remix sounds like something we'd expect Stardust to have released had they pursued an album (speaking of Stardust, expect a mixtape from them very soon). 

''Stars", particularly the Killy Cakes remix, is definitely worth a listen. Nay, 100. Stellar, uplifting synths combined with vocals smoother than marble make this track a true gem, in every sense of the word. Be sure to support our dear friends at Tesla Boy here as well.

Tennis - I'm Callin' (Exclusive Track Premiere!)

Tennis just dropped, what may in fact be, the coolest sound of the week! "I'm Callin'" is simply magical. The track features choppy, throw back 70s guitar snippets accompanied by vocals smoother than marble. The 'X' factor with this track, however, is the depth of it's vocals. Rarely do we come across a track with verses as arresting as these. Definitely give it a spin below, and if (when), you like it, be sure to throw some love at our friends over at Tennis here!

A Sea of Stars (Late Night Synth Vol. 1)

For those of you that missed it, do yourselves a favor and listen to this tape we crafted not too long ago. It's predominately comprised of music that gives you chills. The kinda music you drive home to from a club or party. Music to stare at stars to. Music for the bold and audacious. Music for the night. 

Most of you will probably want a track-listing, which unfortunately was not put up. For individual track questions, contact and follow us on our soundcloud page!

Ghassemi - Risqué

Swedish nu-disco producer Ghassemi is out with his new track "Risqué", released two weeks ago via his soundcloud. "Risqué" is definitely worth a listen, not only because of its arresting guitar-line, but also because of its sheer originality. Ghassemi's sound is really unique because it's like a blend of Madeon, Daft Punk, and KC and The Sunshine Band. In other words, it's pure disco. 'Nuff said. If you like Ghassemi's vibes, be sure to give him some support here.

Le Cassette - Electric Paradise

The latest track dropped by Le Cassette (from their new album, "Left to our own devices")  has left everyone at Disco Unchained wanting more and more. Le Cassette, an 80's electro band that consisting of Adam McNab-Lead singer/songwriter, Joe Wood-Producer, and co producer James Nalepa, released its first track back in the summer of 2012. Since then, the band has consistently created killer beats and stellar tracks that will keep you dancing. Le Cassette's vocals have always been one of the band's selling points. Who can resist a voice like that? We can't.

Follow the artist,

Blondie - Rapture (ADN Edit)

We stumbled upon this recently, A Digital Needle's edit of Rapture by Blondie. The mix is very reminiscent of the Classixx remix of Psychic City (If you haven't heard it you can find it here). ADN's edit of Rapture is a great gem to add to your week-end disco playlist. Be sure to give it a listen!

Sound Palace- Hold on


Sound Palace, an underground band from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida made their debut earlier this year with the track, "Hold on." The track features a great synth-line, as well as mesmerizing vocals, a kicking 80's drum set and chimes. With elements of other artists including, M83, and Cape Lion, the mix is a great example of synth-pop at it's best.
