The Mixtape Volume Six by The Hood Internet

You know how at a fireworks show the magnificent, primary-coloured plumes of light sometimes overlap neighbouring plumes, creating specular maps of completely new and exciting colours that give way to more plumes, and more colours? The Hood Internet’s new compilation mix is roughly one hour six minutes of that; a dazzling 26 track pop lattice. Full tracklisting and download at the source.

‘One o Six (A.N.D.Y. Remix)’ by Jupiter

The absurdly popular, calypso-disco floor-filler featured on many a DJ mix these past few months, currently free for download prior to the single’s proper release on April 16th!

‘Lush’ by Le Crayon

Three minutes of effusive French-touch funkadelics from 20 year-old Parisian producer Lauren Jeckerson, whose technique seems to be “More sunshine, more sunshine, more sunshine!”. Just one small tidbit from this equally ebullient Remix86 compilation.

‘Disco Mirage (WAEK Remix)’ by DiscoMirage

Intergalactic rave-disco avec Yelle-esque French MCing! Amazing. ‘Disco mirage’ is even super fun to say. Try it. Disco mirage.

‘Grade E [Das Moth Remix]’ by Erik Omen

A bold and addictive nu-disco jam from Tokyo-based producer Das Moth, with strong shades of LCD Soundsystem’s I Can Change in it’s dancefloor DNA.

‘I Cant Stay (Juan Maclean Remix)’ by Ben Browning

The lead single from Cut Copy bassist Ben Browning’s upcoming EP gets scrubbed up for the dancefloor with a little help from Juan Maclean, who dials down the original’s afro-pop feel for something a bit more nu-disco.

‘Say (Le Messager Remix)’ by Olivia Broadfield

I’ve spent most of my night flitting back and forth between this French-touch rework of the English singer/songwriter’s piano ballad-of-the-heart Say, the original, and this version, which sits somewhere between the two. They’re all so good.

‘Lointain (Muffin Remix)’ by Popular Computer

I bet this deliriously dynamic, italo-house re-imagining of the Parisian producer’s new single was originally conceived when someone accidentally inhaled a laser. IN SPACE.

Gildas Kitsuné Club Night Mix #2 by Kitsune Maison

So many groovy nu-disco jams and 2011 essentials packed into 40 minutes. Pre-order and view the full tracklisting over on iTunes.

‘Real Caviar (Original mix)’ by LBCK ft. Chuuwee

Those smart Long Beach City Kids are at it again with more jazzy club bangers to remind you that the Ed Banger aesthetic is still thriving in the hands of the yoof.

‘My Baby’ by Jean Tonique

Another favourite from it that has more of an ’80s nu-disco twist. They’re all so good! (via)

‘When You’re Dancing (Feat. Induce)’ by Gigamesh

Irresistible dancefloor funkatronics from his upcoming EP on Our Label Intl.

‘Crush (feat. Eleven) (Eumig & Chinon Remix)’ by Irish Steph

Huge Summer boombox blaster for fans of Breakbot-style fidget-funk. Setting my phasers to FUN.

‘Chant No. 1 (Linosaur edit)’ by Spandau Ballet

Spandau Ballet’s 1981 take on funky New Wave is still one of the coolest grooves around.

‘Helena Beat (Lenno Remix)’ by Foster The People

A hyper energetic, nu-disco rework from Finland’s up and coming 16 year-old producer Lenno. Y’done good, kid!
