Electric Youth + Pelifics

Brilliantine Records is proud to present the latest offering from Oslo producer Pelifics (alias of Eirik Seu Stokkmo) as an EP in two potent acts.

Expanding on his already notorious style, Lifetime Volume 1 provides us with his markedly fresh combination of disco and house, infused with a strong homage to 1980’s pop and funk. The result is a series of compositions that leave the listener happily oscillating between sounds of youthful nostalgia and the future sound of disco.

The first track of the EP is the ethereal “Wish It Could Last”, a collaboration with 2011 Drive Soundtrack darlings Electric Youth. With a marked Pet Shop Boys vibe, tracks are injected with strange new life in a juxtaposition between indie dance beats and Bronwyn’s whimsical vocals.

Can’t Promise Anything with Human Life veers Volume 1 into different (yet strangely familiar) territory, and makes you hope with all your might that someone will choreograph a dance routine to accompany it. Again we’re presented with patchwork collection of sounds from a bygone and much romanticized era, but with fierce funk riffs that bite back.

Magic takes us on another disco-tainted journey that merges flawlessly with the best elements of the second age of golden pop. In Pelifics own words, “The track started off as a homage to one of my all time favourite tracks “Nothing Looks the Same in the Light” from Wham!’s album Fantastic.”

Discover for yourself – happy listening!

New Sounds All Around

If you have not had the chance to sample Pegase’s new sound that is rapidly moving around the blogosphere then I have a treat for you. Raphaël, better known as the lead singer from Minitel Rose, has dumped out two brand new tracks this past week that are exceptional. He appears to have moved away from the traditional soft synthed Pegase we all knew him by to a dynamic melodic-pop dance scene- where he is equally as good. These two tracks are great. Grab em while you can.

Pegase – Wherever You Are (Demo)

Pegase – I Tried To Be You (Demo)

Pacific!, the guys from Sweden, churned out one hot remix to Poney Poney over the last couple of days. Pacific really did a number here. It will instantly catch you. If you feel like getting addicted to something click below.

Poney Poney – When Do You Wanna Stop Working? (Pacific! Remix)

As for Poney Poney, they recently released a number of new tracks to go with this one. Check em out if you want something a a lil more raw than this track. By The Numbers is the next best track on there (my biased opinion).

The New Music: February, wk. 9

Justin Faust’s newest release Revenge EP came out earlier this week. As a special treat he has released three mixes of tracks found within the album. Get them while they’re hot. As for Faust, he’s no stranger to the industry. He has been producing music since 1992 and in doing so has developed his own unique sound that speaks for itself. Faust has also made noise with some of his own remixes including work from Hamilton’s own Electric Youth. With the release of Revenge, Faust has created some of the best chill synth I have heard in a long time.
