SHREM'S FUTURE ANTHEMS: "I GOTTA FEELING" - Midnight Magic

The wait is officially over! This planet's most authentic disco ensemble of the modern era, the stupendous Midnight Magic return with the irresistibly anthemic "I Gotta Feeling" which announces their hotly-anticipated new LP "Free From Your Spell" scheduled for release via Soul Clap Records 18th November. The single is an imminent dancefloor-ready midnight stomper, an eruption of the outfit's signature joyous vibes, ravishing brass section, retro-flavoured synths and those impeccable, inimitable vocals by Tiffany Roth who's at the top of her game once again. Nick Monaco and Jacques Renault deliver official remixes of "I Gotta Feeling" which drops 21 October. Roll on autumn disco moments, it's never too late for a brand new contender for The Album of the Year. High expectations!



Here are two previous Nick Monaco/Jacques Renault affairs taken from Midnight Magic's back catalogue to soothe that wait for the new remixes to arrive...

SHREM'S LIST OBSESSION: Midnight Magic's Top 10 Most Magical Cosmic Disco Anthems

I have been following Midnight Magic's sounds almost religiously since they dropped their bombastic and instantly anthemic debut 12" "Beam Me Up". The one that included that legendary Jacques Renault remix. This Brooklyn cosmic disco ensemble with the charismatic and vocally sensational Tiffany Roth then continued to spoil us with numerous records, EP's and an exuberant debut LP via a whole array of cult labels, the likes of Scion Audio/Visual, Soul Clap and Permanent Vacation. Now that Midnight Magic are starting their mini tour in Europe and the band is in the middle of recording their 2nd album I thought it would be rather fitting to go over their vibrant catalogue of songs so far and cherry-pick the ones I admire the most.

Hidden Agenda are bringing Midnight Magic to Opium Rooms, Dublin this Saturday. Buy your ticket HERE.

Here's the latest in the series of my very subjective list: Midnight Magic's Top 10 Most Magical Cosmic Disco Anthems:

#10 "Vicious Love"

#9 "I Found Love" (with Tommie Sunshine)

#8 "Midnight Creepers"

#7 "Night Flight"

#6 "Calling Out"



#5 "Beam Me Up"

#4 "Someone's Watching Me"

#3 "Walking The Midnight Streets"

#2 "Drop Me A Line"

#1 "Trouble T"

CHOONS OF THE DAY: "VICIOUS LOVE EP" - Midnight Magic

So 2 weeks ahead of its initially scheduled release Midnight Magic have dropped their effervescent new EP "Vicious Love" exclusively on Beatport. "Vicious Love" includes the already anthemic "Night Flight" alongside 4 other equally spectacular Cosmic Disco compositions and a remix from the mighty Dimitri From Paris. Tiffany Roth's vocal acrobatics, the heavenly multi-layered melodies and the band's immaculate production skills make this a late but solid candidate for the EP of the year. "Trouble T" stands out as one of Midnight Magic's most compelling tracks to date if not THE most compelling. It's an utter masterpiece with impeccable vocal harmonies, a mosaic of fascinating and unpredictable melody twists and the aura of an instant dancefloor classic.

Here's the understated title track, for which the official video was directed by Nicolau Vergueiro and João Rosa and a preview of the whole EP courtesy of Soul Clap Records.
