THE DOCKING STATION

The good people at Toyota have hooked us up with a big Australian indie label, full of dance remixes! Yes that’s right, Scion Audio Visual is at it again appealing to Generation Y, embracing electronic dance music and creating vehicles with easy mod skirt kits and so on. Sneaky fucking Japanese… but I digress (incoming promo-piece alert).

‘Rio’ is a highlight of the recent album by The Bumblebeez, “Prince Umberto & The Sister of Ill” and it’s given a slamming dancefloor beef up by East London’s Boy 8-Bit. Boy 8-Bit is a part of London’s all conquering fidget house scene and has recently broadened his wings to release on Diplo’s Mad Decent label, and his remix is a straight up strobe light grind.

White Williams released one of this year’s best debut albums in the shape of Smoke, his beautifully weird, lo-fi electronic pop gem. The New York native turned out to be the perfect fit for Muscles, and transformed the originally slamming, dark dancefloor jam ‘The Lake’ into a melancholy dreamscape of a tune.

The Azzido Da Bass remix was accidentally originally emailed out as White Williams. Thanks to that mistake you and I get an extra remix and with no additional charge.

‘F.A.N.’ was a sleeper hit on the New Young Pony Club album “Fantastic Playroom”, and here in the hands of Tampa Bay, Florida’s riot-starting Yo Majesty is turned into the kind of house party classic it always wanted to be. Beyond just remixing the song, the girls from Yo Majesty have added their own raps and taken the song to a whole new place entirely, and it’s a grand place to be.

The Presets have slowly but stealthily gone about world domination and with the release of their new record, “Apocalypso”, they’ve gone within a whisper of it. ‘This Boy’s In Love’ is the lovelorn centrepiece of the new record, and appears here remixed by Detroit techno don Kevin Saunderson. Taking in elements of the Detroit sound he’s become so well known and loved for, Kevin Saunderson is the perfect foil for The Presets, turning ‘This Boy’s In Love’ into a winding, disorienting techno journey custom made for dark dancefloors.
