The amount of awesome that converges in this one track threatens to tear a rift in the very fabric of the discosphere. Giraffage‘s remix of 1998 French Touch classic “Music Sounds Better With You” simultaneously takes me back to middle school – when I was just starting to fall in love with electronic music – and to a dazzling cosmic disco future.

The original track from Stardust — a collaboration between Alan Braxe, Benjamin Diamond and Daft Punk’s Thomas Bangalter — helped popularize the French house sound a few years before the international success of Daft Punk’s Discovery. In retrospect, “Music Sounds Better With You” almost feels like a prototype of that album and its hit single “One More Time,” with it’s simple, soulful vocal and space age filter funk.

Giraffage made an assertive power move in remixing what’s widely regarded as one of the classic dance tracks of the Nineties, but the Bay Area producer’s gorgeous reinterpretation easily deserves the almost 25k SoundCloud plays it’s already accumulated in just under a day. Woozy staccato snares and cymbal clicks flutter over a thick blanket of warm synths that evoke another classic track, Télépopmusik’s “Breathe.” It almost sounds like an inspired new twist on some of the more laid-back, starry-eyed Daft Punk deep cuts like “Verdis Quo” and “Make Love.” Sit back, relax and prepare to embark on a mystical journey through electro paradise.

As Toro Y Moi, Chaz Bundick has steadily produced summer-haze rooftop mainstays for years now, but his latest project Les Sins is a next-level addition to his constantly evolving oeuvre. Rooted in dance music and flirting with big electro, Les Sins is Toro Y Moi’s wilder disco twin, and the forthcoming single “Grind” is your dream day-party in a five-minute pill. With a retro house beat under silky warped vocals and two synth lines that weave around each other like bubblegum-popping teenagers at the roller rink, the track is sexy, lazy, hazy and loose. It’s giving me pre-nostalgia for this summer and a strong desire to make a breakfast cocktail. Stream it below and see if you don’t agree.

“Grind,” along with B-side “Prelims,” comes out March 18th as a 12″ on Caribou’s Jiaolong imprint.

In January we featured “Dream Of Bombay,” a bubbly synth-pop number from ATG favorites Viceroy and Chela. While it continues to climb the Hype Machine charts, up-and-coming Mexican producer Bufi has remixed the track into one of the more satisfying pieces of disco house we’ve heard all year. The 21-year-old wünderkind from Mexico City slowly unfolds a dazzling array of kinetic synths and pin-sharp rhythms over the course of this six-minute sonic odyssey, aptly described by Gotta Dance Dirty as a case of “interstellar disco and Hawaiian shirts in space.” The spellbinding, euphoric production has already landed itself firmly in cosmic territory by the time Chela’s lovely vocals grace the mix.

Last month we featured Pyramid’s shapeshifting track “Wolf,” an exciting glimpse of his new joint So Far Gone EP with fellow Parisian Lauren Crayon. Kitsuné is billing the duo as “the two spearheads of the new generation of French producers.” The EP features two pieces the artists arranged independently, as well as two collaborative efforts. The title track, which falls into the latter category, is a lovely uplifting number that combines bouncy, staccato laptop funk à la Breakbot with classic progressive house in the style of Paul Van Dyk and Armin van Buuren. Stream it below.

Los Angeles-based DJ posse Bixel Boys have just released their debut EP Love Like This, a two-track pairing of late-90s R&B sample-heavy tracks. Appropriating vocals from Faith Evans’ 1998 hit “Love Like This”, the title track blends a deep house sub with a smooth melody, sultry vocals and piano stabs. “Love Like This” recently made the cut for indie-house authority Zimmer’s January mixtape.

The B-side, “Everytime”, has clipped vocals from Janet Jackson’s lesser-known 1998 ballad, “Every Time.” The Boys’ take is simple, soulful and patient — a perfect complement to “Love Like This.” Stream and download their freshman EP below.

Its been a little over three years since Victoria Hesketh — the English bird more commonly known as Little Boots — blessed us with her album Hands, but now she’s back at it with a new EP soon to be released under her not-quite-anonymous moniker, “LB.” The first track, titled “Superstitious Heart,” features the production work of none other than Maya Jane Coles and James Ford (Simian Mobile Disco). Stream the deep house groove below.

Little Boots’ — or LB — will drop her Superstitious Heart EP via 2020vision on February 18th.

I think Kavinsky has a thing for fast cars. Known best for “Nightcall,” his 80s-retro contribution to the Drive soundtrack, the French electro-house artist hits the streets once again in the video for his latest single, “Protovision,” which comes off his upcoming EP, Outrun. Join him and his mechanical persona as he evades the fuzz with some serious Gosling-style maneuvers.

Expect Kavinsky’s Outrun EP to drop some time in early 2013.

Have you been keeping up with Chordashian? If not, the Brooklyn-based electronica act’s latest single, “Illusion,” should be enough to get you on board. You won’t find any Ray J sex tapes or men’s sock lines here — just a huge tropic thunder dance jam, replete with rich melodic textures and big drops (and a bonus Madonna sample). According to their bio, the duo “draws inspiration from hip hop, late 80s disco, funk, mainstream pop, and good hair” and “have set out to release their lush sound into the wild.” Rawr. The track is out now via Binary, free of charge. Stream and download below.

The Victoria’s are a new, mysterious band from Aquitaine, France. According to their bio, “The Victoria’s have no purpose except the desire to seduce.” Their funky indie disco comes with an equally erotic warning: “ATTENTION: Musique Sexuellement Transmissible!” Parisian producers Acid Washed just released a killer remix of the Victoria’s new track “Tendresse,” featuring some impressive synth work and a cathartic, high-energy build-up and drop that belie the song’s title. Stream it along with the original below.

Last week saw the release of one of my favorite nu-disco tracks of the summer, Bronx’s “I’ll Be Loving You”. Bronx is the nom de techno of Francisco Davalos, a 19-year-old Mexican producer and self-described champion of “sexy tropical disco music.” “I’ll Be Loving You” is a rework of the unfortunately titled “I’ll be Lovin’ U Long Time” off Mariah Carey’s 2008 album, E=MC2. The original Mariah song, in turn, sampled parts of Debarge’s late Motown-era classic, “Stay With Me.” So in short, multiple decades of pop goodness are condensed into one gorgeous piece of nu-disco here. Supertalented Finnish duo Jay Lamar & Jesse Oliver, whose own Diamonda EP is very much worth a listen, handled mastering duties on this track. Bronx’s I’ll Be Loving You EP is out now on Nurvous.
