Disco Potential: A NuDisco and Dance Music Tumblr.

Kamp!, “Melt” (Zimmer Mix)

We’ve extolled the virtues of Kamp! in the past on this blog and the fact that the new single on Discotexas features remixes by Midnight Magic, Xinobi and ZImmer helps ensure that we’ll continue to do so for the foreseeable future. The melody in this is the centerpiece, with punch beats and a vocal treatment that’s haunting and sweet.

Zimmer, “Bay Bridge”

This has been one of our most consistently played records in 2012, a fixture of the Disco Potential nights at River Gods and a track we put on the office stereo so we could have a mid-day wiggle. We’re glad to see that Zimmer chose to share it on Soundcloud so we could share it with you. Huge basslines, bigger drums and pianos that make your put your hands in the air like a raver in 1992.

Pompeya, “Power” (Zimmer Remix)

Disco Potential’s preferred producer of horizontal disco gets his hands on Russian funk band Pompeya and takes them to the beach. That’s very nice of him, and they sound very happy there.

Jupiter, “Juicy Lucy” (Zimmer Remix)

We’re big fans of Jupiter here at Disco Potential headquarters, and their album has been in constant rotation since it came out earlier in the year. This remix of the new single is different from both Jupiter and Zimmer’s normal styles, but no less terrific. Always nice to hear burbling acid sounds and a lovely vocal. There’s also a very nice remix by Little Boots.

Chic, “Everybody Dance” (Zimmer Remix)

We can confirm that this, when played near the end of your DJ set, will make the titular event occur. What a thunderous reworking by one of our current favorite producers.

It’s been about two weeks, so hey, here’s another Five Tracks mix. This time we actually did limit it to five songs, and they’re a bit faster and more hands-in-the-air than the last few in the series. We’re actually kind of proud how this one turned out, so if you enjoy it as much as we did putting it together, reblog or use the share link below to tell your friends and neighbors. Alternately, you could just play it very loudly. We’ve been assured that this is an optimal solution. By top…people.

Right-click and “save as” to download it for the best sound quality.

Love of Mine (Mighty Mouse Remix) — Nyteowl
Horses (Zimmer Remix) — Montevideo
Back To Disco — Jayceel
Heartbreak Reputation (Drop Out Orchestra Remix) — Dublin Aunts
Just A Minute — Adam Stacks

Montevideo, “Horses” (Zimmer Remix)

This has enough swooshing noises and pinging noises and drum noises to keep the Disco Potential staff very happy.

I’m apparently in the mood to do these of late, and I hope you don’t mind. I’ve been looking for a mix where that Talking Heads track would work and here it is. Thanks to all the producers, etc, etc, et-cet-er-ah.

Brooklyn In The House — Lee Foss
Bay Bridge (Moon Boots Remix) — Zimmer
What’s Love Got To Do With It? (Zimmer Remix) — Tina Turner
One and Only — The Shack
Psycho Killer (Drop Out Orchestra Rework) — Talking Heads

Right click here to download, and if you enjoy it, please feel free to tell your friends, neighbors and cellmates!

Here is the new Five Tracks mix. It features six songs. I am becoming increasingly bad at counting the number of songs needed for one of these mixes. This one’s a bit faster than the last few and it captures what I’d consider a “peak time” sound for a nu disco night. I hope you enjoy it.

Ego (Blackstrobe Remix) - Drop Out Orchestra
Slave To Your Heart (Mercury Remix) - Zimmer
I Don’t Know What To Do (Erkka Remix) - The Magician
Beaches (Peter Horrevorts Remix) - Steve Mill and Luke Fair
Don’t Fade Away (Human Life’s “E-Return” Remix) - Human Life
Climax (Edwin Van Cleef Remix) - Usher

As always, it’s recommended that you right click and download to your computer for the optimal listening experience. If you enjoy this sort of thing, please reblog. If you are local, you can hear me play these kind of records at River Gods in Cambridge on Friday, May 11 in what I am hoping will become a (bi)monthly residency.

Zimmer, “Slave To Your Heart” (Xinobi Remix)

A silky reworking of an already smooth song, this may be the highlight of the recent remix pack from Zimmer. Builds perfectly and uses the piano from the original really inventively.
