4 Comments

Canadian new wave revivalists Dragonette unveil their new track “The Right Woman”, the first taste of their highly awaited third album. It is featured on Diane von Furstenberg’s Women’s Day compilation Proud to be Woman Vol. 3 and all proceeds will go to an organization dedicated to empowering women worldwide.

Produced in collaboration with Felix Bloxson, who usually works under the Plastic Plates moniker, “The Right Woman” is Dragonette’s first original new track since the summer of 2010 (Our Summer/Volcano single). With its nice combination of punchy beats, glittering synths and sultry vocals, this song proves Dragonette are back in good form!

To celebrate this release, here’s a couple of Dragonette goodies: the first track is the band’s classic hit “I Get Around” remixed by Midnight Juggernauts, the second is a pumped up remix of “Pick Up The Phone” by Van She‘s own Michael DiFrancesco.

His work first caught the dance community’s ear with his 2009 single “Heatwave”, taken from Binary’s compilation album LA Lights. Since then Fabian has produced tracks across all genres: Hip-Hop, Electro, Pop, French House, Filter House, you name it…

Two years in the making, Fabian’s long-awaited debut album, Say Goodbye, was finally released last month via Binary. Though the album only runs 32 minutes, listening to the whole thing straight will take you through a high octane tour of contemporary dance music: from nu disco to synthpop and everything in between. Ahead of the album, Fabian released the Last Flight EP, including the title track and a whole bunch of remixes by the likes of French Horn Rebellion, NightWaves, Reset!, Justin Faust, Lancelot, Douze, and Robots For Rayguns. Be sure to check out Reset!’s remix below and buy the EP if you so fancy…
