Today, we’ve got a great mix of nostalgic sounds, fresh new music and up-and-coming musicians in the electronic music scene. From the smooth waves of nu disco and electro house to the gritty noises of french electro and nu rave, this feature will certainly cover everyone’s tastes.
Tune in below as we review seven smash hit songs, featuring work from Darius, Siriusmo, Don Rimini and more.
All About
Produced By: Don Rimini
Why You Should Listen: Released a little more than six years ago, Don Rimini’s All About is the quintessential electro house jam. Though the single leads with easygoing melodies and looped lyrics, it’s simply the perfect blend of intoxicating rhythms and head-banging grooves. Out now via Mental Groove.
Espoir
Produced By: Darius
Why You Should Listen: Summer disco fans, this track is definitely for you. Translating to “hope” in English, Darius’s Espoir is relaxed, yet vibrant, nu disco hit. Really, the 4-minute jam soothes every part of the soul, taking listeners on a joyride that reaches all of the sense. Don’t believe us? Check it out for yourself! Available for download via Roche Musique.
Feel The Fire
Produced By: Dash30
Why You Should Listen: Dash30 is one of our best finds this year (thanks to our friend, Wes). Just last month, we featured the newcomer in our 3 French Electro Tracks You’ve Never Heard article, citing the producer for his Justice-like leads and never-ending builds.
Today, the french electro whiz does it again, with fiery new single, Feel The Fire. Reminiscent of Justice’s Cross album, the track fuses metallic accents with rock energy and distorted synths. Without a doubt, you’ll love it.

Floating (D.I.M. Remix)
Produced By: D.I.M.
Why You Should Listen: Ready for some indie electro/dance punk spirit? Well, German DJ/producer, D.I.M., has you covered. Taking on Jape’s indie-pop release, Floating, the Berlin native steps it up a notch, breathing new life into the relaxed single. Unfortunately, D.I.M.’s remix was never officially released (so, you won’t be able to download it); however, you’ll still be able to revel in the sound of this undiscovered gem below.

Mélancolie
Produced By: LemKuuja
Why You Should Listen: LemKuuja has certainly been making rounds on The French Shuffle as of recent. We’ve covered his two releases, 360 Boogie and Things That You Do, and have even featured him on our Youtube roundup of 50 French Touch Tracks You Need to Hear.
Typically, we’ve only touched on his funkier, french house sounds. But now, we set our sights on Mélancolie: the Jordan-based musician’s hard-hitting, french electro release. Like SebastiAn? Then, you’re in for a treat.
Mélancolie is the closest thing we’ve heard to the Frenchman, since Loze revived his classic sound in Guess Walkman. Stream the single now!

Neighborhood Watch Hustler (Poetically Remix)
Produced By: Poetically
Why You Should Listen: Poetry in motion? We think so. Poetically’s Neighborhood Watch Hustler remix is a slow motion, funk medley with soulful energy and 80s zest. Really, it has this Michael Jackson flavor to it, but with french electro in the backdrop. Check it out now!

OM (Siriusmo Remix)
Produced By: Siriusmo
Why You Should Listen: Sinister sounds, vicarious vocals and killer kits? that’s exactly what you can expect in Siriusmo’s remix of Bilderbuch’s single, OM. Now, the release has been out for nearly two years, but it certainly went under the radar and deserves some love.
After you listen to OM (Siriusmo Remix), be sure to check out Siriusmo’s album, Comic, too.
