UNIVERSAL ROBOT BAND
BARELY BREAKIN' EVEN
(DISCO & DANCE)

Universal Robot Band
Legendary disco-funk group the Universal Robot Band is perhaps best known for its break-out 1976 single, "Dance and Shake Your Tambourine," but the large URB crew produced a number of other singles before splitting up, including the epic "Doing Anything Tonight," which guarantees a packed dance floor whenever it's played.

Part of URB's legend is intertwined with one of the most accomplished producers and remixers of the dance music era, John Morales. A remixer whose prolific output over the past 30 years has helped many people get on the floor, Morales has a new retrospective compilation coming out, The M & M Mixes, which features his extended club mix of this one-off from URB, who got back together to record the track in 1982.

Though not revolutionary in its extension of the original, Morales' mix certainly allows Patrick Adams' synths to shine and gives LeRoy Burgess' voice more urgency, particularly in these times of infernal money trouble.

WILD BEASTS
ALL THE KING'S MEN
(INDIE)

Wild Beasts
On September 8, Leeds' Wild Beasts will release their sophomore album, Two Dancers, the follow-up to 2008's Limbo, Panto, on Domino Records.

"All the King's Men" continues the last album's broken-pop streak, with shimmering guitars over a bed of pounding kick drums, a chorus of "ooh-wah"s, and singer soaring falsetto serving as a counterpoint to expressive baritone.

LINDSTROM& CHRISTABELLE
BABY CAN'T STOP
(DISCO & DANCE )


If you thought the original of "Baby Can't Stop" was massive, then the Aeroplane remix will seem earth-shattering. The early-'80s disco-funk sound of Lindstrøm & Christabelle's original is transformed into a stomping disco-house number, filled with cosmic synth flourishes, acoustic guitar strums, chunky handclaps, and high-frequency washes accompanied by some out-there arpeggiations.

While it may be hard to imagine another artist sounding more Lindstrøm than Lindstrøm, Aeroplane succeeds in the best way possible, giving us one of the best remixes of 2009..
