BoxSpeaker heard of Sally Shapiro through the ever-cool Jamie H.
Sally Shapiro is an italo disco duo that sounds like the vocals of a faster, happier Au Revoir Simone with the italo disco high-hats and synth beats.
“He Keeps Me Alive” is another one of those electro tracks that has such a happy beat but actually has somewhat sad lyrics. With its happy synths and high-hats juxtaposed by sad lyrics of “remember[ing] we’re just friends.”
Check out the Classixx remix of “Always” by Panama – a nu-disco take on a song that originally focuses on heavy piano chords, drum kit drums, and an overlying layer of synthesized handclaps.
The production, DJ, and remix genius that is RAC is giving everyone a preview of his upcoming single “Let Go” featuring MNDR and Kele (of Bloc Party fame) on vocals!
RAC is one of my all-time favorite producer/DJ/remixers – everything he touches is gold. While my introductions to RAC were much different from his current releases (his remix of “Zero” by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs was electro/electrorock and his remix of “Home” by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes stripped the original’s folksy orchestrations, sped it up, and added layers through various loops), he has definitely helped develop the indie dance nu-disco genre with his newer work.
