Midnight to Monaco: Suicide (Track Premiere!)

and that's the thing about Future Classic... They just can't release bad music... After their last couple of releases, namely ''something about you'' (ala Hayden James) and ''Jungle'' by Panama, the label has definitively raised the bar for what constitutes worthwhile electro-indie music.
 
Get to know the name ''Midnight to Monaco''. Ricky Ducati and Donnie Sloan (aka Midnight to Monaco) are perhaps the most talented artists I've encountered in years. Their debut single (on Future Classic), ''Suicide'' is literally out of this world...Expect instant chills with this one.. What makes Midnight to Monaco so unique is that their style of music is unheard of.. ''suicide'' sounds like something by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Daft Punk, and Lorde combined. I know, a very odd combination, but a brilliant one none the less. enjoy!

The Arrows: Words to say (Chronica REMIX). *PREMIERE*

The elusive Chronica, about a month ago, remixed this insanely retro track by Arrows called ''words to say''..Chronica are definitely on our radar now, and their latest edit is an instant classic. Perfect for melancholy evenings and/or depressive moody drives that require a suitable soundtrack. Seriously though, gem of a song.

8th Grader - Morro Bae (JNL Remix): TRACK PREMIERE!!!

As you guys have probably noticed, we blog rather haphazardly. Sometimes we post 20 times in a week, and other times, twice a month. There is a very good reason for this. We aren't trying to get every underground track to you guys. That's not what we're about. We're blogging to share with you the handful of tracks that are inspirational, funky, and/or golden enough to be called ''gems''. We wanted to create a no BS blog, somewhere you go whenever you are in need of something different/bad-ass. 

Rant over. Anyway, here is one of the BIGGEST tracks I've heard in a long time. My good friend and very talented producer Jon'Nathan AKA JNL, has just released an absolutely groovy remix of 8th Grader's ''Morro Bae''. JNL's edit is funky, synthy, catchy, innovative, smooth, and all around great. Be sure to give the remix a  spin below and be sure to download the track because its FREE.

Mickey 'LA Anyway' EP

Mickey's new "LA Anyway'' EP is definitely something. Deep house has become a rather saturated genre at the moment, and it's becoming increasingly hard to come across quality music in this niche. However, Mickey's new EP puts all our fears to rest. The first track, 'Holding Hands'' is probably the coolest track of the two-track EP. It's rare we come across an artist that takes vocal samples from Donny and Joe Emerson (If you don't know who they are, do yourself a favor and look them up). "Holding Hands'' features sexy 70s guitar snippets and vocals smoother than Marlboro Lights. 

You can find more stuff by Mickey here,  and if you're digging his new EP, it's up for grabs here.

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.

LeBRON- Angelis (Magoo Remix)

Magoo's spin on LeBRON's latest track "Angelis" has been ringing bells all week at Disco Unchained. In terms of vocals, the song features a very minimalistic approach, which only adds to the overall listening experience of the track. However, the beat is very bold and crisp, and could even please the pickiest of Disco Unchained fans; which makes the mix a prime example of Nu Disco at it's best!

The original is now available for download through Bonjour Bonjour Music on iTunes or Beatport.

Follow Lebron and Magoo HERE and HERE (Respectively)!!
