Glimmering electropop trio Caotico have been compared to MGMT and Cut Copy even though they say they’re in fact more influenced by Lil Wayne and Madonna. The outfit was probably one of hottest debut acts here in Sweden during 2011 with a range of remixes and festival gigs, with the release of their debut album in 2012 (will be drop February 22nd on Baseline) they’ll most likely be heard everwyhere. Here’s a first taste in the form of a Discobelle premiere, new single “Into The Beat” that has radio hit written all over it.

“Crew Love” might be the catchphrase from 2011 that’ll stick around for the next decade or so, which says just as much about Drake + The Weeknd’s ability to craft unforgettable choruses as much as the sociological function of slang in youth culture.

Anywayyy, Shlohmo recently premiered this little gem of a cough syrup injected dragged out remix at Los Angeles’ WEDIDIT Festival at the end of January. Fingers crossed it gets the Weeknd approved official release ASAP.

Oh my! Six hour dj set by cosmic disco don Prins Thomas back in 2006 at Sur Bar in Kagoshima. (Via Defgrip)

“Just got these recordings back from Japan…Recorded at a tiny little bar but with an amazing soundsystem and a crowd of 50 people at the most…Questionable mixing, skipping needles :O but hopefully something there to tickle your fancy”

BONUS: He seems to do more of these enormous sets, this one is from 2008 at Elvis Bar in Thessaloniki.

It’s possible that I might be a Francophile with a bit of a disco obsession, but objectively speaking Yuksek‘s remix of The Young Professionals “D.I.S.C.O.” is fantastic. Yuksek’s take on the electro pop duo from Tel Aviv’s track is boogie worthy with its layers of arpeggio synths that create a gradual build up as the song progresses.

French disco house producer Dimitri From Paris has teamed up with DJ Rocca on a remix for his Eurodiscomix series. Their take on Hard Ton’s “In This Moment” is groovy and lush with some jazz flavor, especially with the flute sounds at the end.

Hard Ton’s Not Again EP is out February 13th on Gomma records sister label Toy Tonics.
