‘Time To Realize’ by Lemâitre

A positively radiant slice of pool-bound electro funk from Oslo; exactly the type of Summery, DJ-friendly fare that sums up what the season is all about — parties! all nighters! dancing! I love it so. From their new EP Relativity 2.

‘All My Life’ by Gigamesh

The erstwhile remixer and disco-funk producer has a divine new EP out on Kitsuné full of alluring ’80s synth-pop, like the sleek and emotionally rapturous All My Life, which soars thanks to the nimble and expressive confidence of singer Jana Nyberg. Hear the whole thing on Soundcloud, it’s a jam and a crumpet (new phrase I’m trying out).

‘Distorted Love’ by Shook Feat. Ronika

More silken ’80s twerking from the formidable dancepop wunderkind. The Ronika/Shook connection totally has a Gloria Estefan/Miami Sound Machine thing going on, no?

‘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.

‘T.M.H.S.R.’ by Cut Slack

Joyous Summer boombox material made up of radiant synth blasts and a cooky use of down-tuned vocal samples. This and the similarly quirky Move Into The Beat from his new EP are jams for days.

Sizzling, sun-bound electro soul from a duo of Parisian collaborators keen on bopping basslines and infectious thump-clap beats. The hand drawn video is pleasantly animated by Émile Sacré.

‘Ever Stop’ by Young Montana?

This 20 year-old electrostep producer from Coventry has already had a pretty prolific 2011, with a number of remixes getting good rotation on Radio 1 and a debut album that was released last May. Ever Stop continues his impressive run with a funky, soul-sampling vibrance that diverges somewhat from his usual warped, post-dub shuffle.

‘Florida (Cosmic Kids Remix)’ by Princeton

Wispy synthwork drifts over a feather-light drumbeat in this deceptively sunny ode to dissatisfaction, which in Princeton’s case involves Miami traffic and stale office life. A soundtrack made for daydreams of escape. You can download the equally great original single at Stereogum.
