Oliver has released a signature funked-out LP titled 'Inner Circle: Remixes and Rarities,' featuring a mastery of vintage sounds with a style of their own.
Bursting at the seams with Eighties nostalgia, LIFELIKE's remix of Mitch Murder's "The Touch" is everything you loved about 80s synthpop without the bad haircuts and worse outfits. Methodically paced, the French maestro's rendition is 7-minutes of Eighties archetypes, a subdued soundscape suitable for the score of any of the "futuristic" movies of yesteryear. LIFELIKE's French house inspired, robo-symphony is available for free download today alongside Mitch Murder's full EP on Mad Decent's Jeffree's imprint.
Premiered at Kitsuné Club Night at LA's Lure Club, Lifelike's collaboration with Tommi Bravo "Urban Sex" is now out on Nurvous Records.
Best of the Rest is a daily feature from Dancing Astronaut that recaps the most important posts of the day as well as the stuff we didn’t get to. With the rapidity that dance music news and releases come out it’s difficult for us to hit everything — we hope BOTR serves as a catch-all. Make sure to check it out at the end of each day to ensure you don’t miss anything!
We've come to associate French producer Lifelike with fellow countrymen Alan Braxe, the late DJ Mehdi, Justice, and Daft Punk and known he's been working on his debut artist album, Future Disco, for quite some time now. With Kitsune Maison's release of the first single off the album "Don't Stop" as a remix package we now get our first tasty bits of this disco-techno goodness. A-Trak's ever-skillful turntablism complements Lifelike's on-point French electro-disco production. The remix duties go to Minnesotan Gigamesh (who manages to give the track even more of a vintage feel) as well as Parisians Mauvais Cliche and The Bloody Sisters. If that wasn't enough, the EP release also includes club and extended mixes. Check out a sampling below.
