EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Amanda Blank - Shame On Me (Yuksek Remix)
Completing the "Shame On Me" remix drip in typically luxe fashion is the Frenchman Yuksek, who eschews Viking and Jacknife Lee's drive-time vibes for velvet rope lounge disco, synths soft like bear rugs and handclaps aplenty. Grab all three versions of the song below, and pick up the album from whence it came–Amanda Blank's I Love You–right here.

Aeroplane were something of a secret for cosmic disco nerds until a brilliant, initially-rejected version of Grace Jones' "Williams Blood" converted seemingly everyone else, and now they're remixing Robbie Williams and traveling the world riding Aussie rollercoasters with A-Trak. So, go them. This remix for Lindstrøm and Christabelle's new album, Real Life Is No Cool (sic!), contains all their better tendencies–skybound arpeggios, assured rhythms, the general feeling that we are riding on a magic carpet above the Amalfi coast–and also acoustic guitars (really). MP3's below per usual, RLINC arrives in January through Smalltown Supersound.

It's only been a few months since "Wanna Be Dancin'" and electro lifers The Glass are already putting out another single, "Superhero," before a proper LP drops through Plant in the not-too-distant future. California newcomer Bit Thief turned in the sax-assisted flip we've got below, a duly complex version considering dude named himself after a Bittorrent program (#assumptions #wearenerds). Buy the full release over at Beatport.

EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: The Phenomenal Handclap Band - You'll Disappear (Jaques Renault + Prins Thomas Remixes)
New York's most populated live disco ensemble, The Phenomenal Handclap Band, just released a remix comp for their singles "You'll Disappear" and "15 To 20," though for some reason this version from Jacques Renault didn't make the cut. It's getting a deserved second life here and sounds super old and warped, like it was ripped from an LP that'd been left in a car trunk for a few days. Also pick up a not-at-all-surprising twelve minute version from Prins Thomas, who we're beginning to think works exclusively in ten minute chunks. TPHB begin a series of shows with Simian Mobile Disco on Friday, all those dates and more are here.

DOWNLOAD: Aural Exciters - Spooks In Space (Luke Howard & Felix Dickinson Filthy & Foolish Edit)
It's hard to get super excited about disco edit comps 'cause often they are quite middling, but when dudes like Greg Wilson, Todd Terje, Rub-N-Tug, Optimo, and more start hacking away at the catalog of Ze Records–one of New York's best no-wave/mutant disco/whatever-it-was-the-seventies-who-knows-what-to-call-it labels–we throw those presumptions aside because it will probably be worth listening to. And Strut's new Zevolution: Ze Records Re-Edited CD is worth listening to. They're floating around this Aural Exciters edit from Luke Howard and Felix Dickinson of Horse Meat Disco before the whole thing drops on November 24th, so you now have a ramped-up piano disco song with bongwater sounds for your weekend. You're welcome!

DOWNLOAD: Crimea X - Liubov
Let's pretend for a second that this picture wasn't Photoshopped and celebrate the fact that finally some purveyors of interstellar psych-disco could take a joke and do a photo shoot in vintage space suits. 'Cause we were getting really sick of looking at bearded dudes in American Apparel hoodies. Of course, Italy's Crimea X don't just have cool snaps–"Liubov" is every bit the undulating, slowed-to-a-crawl dancefloor worm we hear in our dreams of clubbing on other planets. Those dreams are the best.
DOWNLOAD: Future Trends - Moonraker
The louche, bedroom-disco cad behind Future Trends is one Andrew G Clark, resident to West Chester, Ohio. I don't know a great deal else about him, to be honest, but maybe that's for the best - the fantasy of these things is always better than the reality, isn't it? Of that spangled, suddenly vivid synthpop that always sounds born in its maker's latest drunken epiphany. I don't know if Andrew G Clark drinks a lot. I don't know that. What I do know is that this track is great, and you should listen to it. Because you definitely drink a lot, and we all deserve an epiphany every once in a while. Don't we?

EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: NightWaves - Fascination (Junkie XL Remix) + Original
L.A. electro duo NightWaves and their own Binary Collective would've likely skipped our radar had they not come bearing Junkie XL's weightless, sorta yacht rock-y version of their single, "Fascination," but then we would've missed their retro clip-art obsession and Binary's new compilation, LA Lights. More info (and gifs) here, and if you haven't already, snag Junkie's brain-gouging "Cosmic Rave" after the original.

EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Sugar & Gold - AYA (Justin Van Der Volgen Remix)
(Photo: Wes Rowe)
You could probably decipher from the above photo that Sugar & Gold are preening, Parliament-obsessed grooveslayers, excavators of rapturous nightclub funk. And you'd be completely on point–they are basically a (tad) less theatrical, less twee, much more awesome Of Montreal. For a new twelve-inch on Antenna Farm, the San Francisco quintet's live, lovably swelling "AYA" was versioned by Justin Van Der Volgen of !!! into seven minutes of melting house keys and incessant vogue pulse. Taster MP3 below, pick up the full release right here.

EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Datarock - The Pretender (Holy Ghost! Remix Radio Edit)
(1).jpg)
The Pretender EP—the latest from Norwegian electro-collective Datarock—springs from the track of the same name off their sophomore, Red. Reworks by Chairlift and CFCF accompany the original—heavy with rock riffs and chants—but it’s this fine Holy Ghost! flip that’s got our arms in the air. Favoring disco-grit and low-throat vocoders, the version below sounds like what Grandmaster Flash would ghetto-blast on the 5 train in to see Herbie Hancock. Lift it—and the rest of the stellar remixes—when The Pretender EP drops digitally tomorrow.
