DOWNLOAD: Discodeine - Tom Select (La Horse Remix)
There are few albums more heavily anticipated in 2011 than the forthcoming self-titled debut by French duo Discodeine. Last year's "Synchronize," a collaboration with Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker, was one of the best singles of 2010, an elegant fusion of disco's pulse with the sophisticated snobbery of arty pop. French producers Pilooski and Pentile each have an extensive resumé in underground dance circles, and judging from what's been released so far, expect more nuanced takes on different chapters in dance music's history. On the La Horse remix of "Tom Select," Ivan Smagghe and Danton Eeprom take a screwy approach to Discodeine's original, contorting signals and chimes over a minimal bass line and industrial-strength drums. It's a forceful track, and the sounds are a little warped, but it is nevertheless remarkably slick. Expect more glossy propulsion when Discodeine drops February 25th on Pschent.
