Synth laden Sydney duo Coupons have recently converted their domestic quarrels into a european record deal, with february seeing the release of their debut official single ‘driving to your house party’ on portuguese label disco texas. previously featured on stoney, the single is an intense slow jam about ready to burst fire in your speakers. Hard to box down, the duo have settled on promoting themselves as a dreamrave band. take from that what you will, but nothing can deny their skills.
Featured on the EP are remixes from label owner Moullinex and his bro Symobolone as well as xinobi, and Jad and the lady boy. The diversity on the release is excellent, however in my opinion the xinobi remix takes the cake. From humble beginning, the fellow Portuguese lad takes this remix on a ride round auralville complete with his pal ‘arpegiated piano’ taking this remix even higher than perhaps first thought possible. Preview the original and the Xinobi remix below.

To help launch the single, the coupons lads will be DJing this Saturday night, March 5th at Adult Disco at the Civic Underground. A whole swag of local legends and up and coming Sydney stars will be behind the ones and twos including Moonchild, Frames, the Baldives as well as Ted & Francis. Entry is cheap and the drinks are delicious so come by.

More info on Facebook.

Sydney boy Moonchild has an EP coming out shortly. Love Birds EP features the glorious modern disco treat of an original and remixes from Russ Chimes, The Phantom’s Revenge, Sydney’s Vengeance (also soon to bring out his debut EP), Gigi Barocco as well as a b-side single ‘you and nothing else’.

For me the pick is the original as well as the Vengeance remix, which despite it’s banging style, still appears to lock down the melody of the original creating the kind of bang0r i can dig.

Preview the teaser if you haven’t already. It’s set for release late Feb/early March on Vamp music. If you’re not familiar, check out a bunch of his past works on his Soundcloud.

The fairly commercial outfit of Sydneys Radio Ink have successfully attempted to inject themselves into the club scene by dropping both the official and sort of… unofficial/official remix packs of ‘Psychical’.

The original contained licks from moonchild, gloves and sta with a follow up pack from all sorts including sweat it outs loot & plunder (legit dudes), plus them gameboys and melbourne disco dude muffin.

All show that radio food can be shaped into glossy magazine front covers, light throbbing masterpieces and shooting club ecstasy.

their original ‘make you feel’ almost prompts a flare revival with a throbbing bass line  whilst the poka jam gets the nod with and instinctual head bop.

whoops, little late on this one..

So with very little time in the run up to Creamfields our friend and lover Moonchild (disco-bro, did some mixes and that track ‘girl’, notably funky) had a phoner with over-all french producer dude-person Lifelike (just pretend this was 4 weeks ago).

after the jump.

Moonchild vs Lifelike

A weeks ago i had the pleasure of speaking to Lifelike right before he began touring all around Europe again. I’m surprised at how down to earth and chill Laurent Ash was throughout the 45-minute phone call. We spoke about baguettes among other, more important, things. Here are the highlights of this conversation.

Last year was the first time that Australia welcomed Lifelike on its soil. The artist claimed that he really enjoyed it here, describing the Australian scene to be a lot more relaxed and calm compared to Europe. (Which surprised me to be honest, you Australians are party monsters.) A year later, he comes back to us eagerly as the only Disco/French house act to be headlining Creamfields alongside The Bloody Beetroots, Steve Angello and MSTRKRFT. Fear not, if you can’t make it to Creamfields, he will also be doing a few sideshows around Australia, which you can scope on his myspace.

When asked what current artists inspire him, Lifelike said he was really digging the sounds of In Flagranti, The XX and even what The Bloody Beetroots have been doing recently with their new DC77 live act. Lifelike will also be trying out something different for this tour, adding a brand new LIVE aspect to his show. I was told to expect hearing a lot more Lifelike prods.

Finally, Lifelike shed some light on his new forthcoming release coming out on his own label “Computer Science” in May/June. The release will include 2 brand new original Lifelike tracks “Silicon Valley” and “Love Emulator” and will only be available digitally. Looks like vinyl collectors are gonna miss out on this one!

Moonchild.

Rad, only confirmed the overall bro status of lifelike!

Moonchild is a filter-house making bro called Antoine Lubidineuse who hails from Sydney. You may be aware of some of his work already, under his other alias, ‘Dorkatronique‘.

We were sent a couple of things to blog, one is an original called ‘Girl’ which will be recieving a release on Vamp Music and another is a cracking remix of Louis La Roche‘s ‘Prick Stick’. Go check these tunes out!

♫ Moonchild – Girl (Original Mix) [M]
♫ Louis La Roche – Prick Stick (Moonchild Remix) [M]

Moonchild is a one man disco-bro out of Sydney who has jumped, leaped and flown steps in his ability to create filter-house inspired mixes, bootys and originals. Showing similarities to Duck Sauce, Alan Braxe, Nightriders and Slicker Citites you’d be hard pressed as a fan to pass these by.

His debut original ‘girl’ on Vamp will be released in coming months alongside previous post-ees Vengeance.
