Hakanaki wa Tsukikage no Gotoku (Disko Warp Master Mix)
Artist: Sugano feat. Shironegi
Release Date: 12/13/11
Price: FREE

New Disko Warp remix of the song originally found on Toho Eurobeat Vol. 3. The remix is available for free at Bandcamp. Sounds like he opted for an 80s disco sound for the remix, and I think it works great. It makes me yearn for an Anim80s 2, though. :(

Werewolf Boyfriend Remixes (Single)
Artist: Fright Ranger
Release Date: 10/31/11
Price: $6

Released in commemoration of the latest Twilight movie. Okay, technically it was released to celebrate Halloween, but I suspect Pete is a secret Twihard anyway. :P This remix EP features contributions from DJ Command, J-Mi & Midi-D, and Magic Hammer among others. The eurobeat remixes are my favorites, but all of the remixes are suitably spooky. :D

The EP is available on Bandcamp and iTunes. The iTunes release comes with two bonus tracks.

Text Me Too Much (The Remixes)
Artist: Lucky Princess
Release Date: 7/16/11
Price: $5.94

New remix package for Disko Warp’s hyper techno track, “Text Me Too Much.” Includes a remix by Japanese TechPara legend, Seiji “Honmax” Honma. There are a lot of retro 80s/90s influences on many of the remixes, ranging from 8bit samples to classic 80s beats. Of course, Pete finishes the single off with his trademark speedy sound. It’s quite a fun listen, especially for the “R30″ crowd.

The single can be found on iTunes as well as at Bandcamp.

Text Me Too Much (Single)
Artist: Lucky Princess
Release Date: 4/19/11
Price: $2.99

Lucky Princess’s follow-up to her debut single, “Deadbeat Boyfriend.” TMTM is a hyper techno tune about the dangers of over-texting. I wasn’t overly fond of Disko Warp’s previous attempt at hyper techno on Speedisko 2, but this does a really good job of capturing the sound. Make sure to check out the music video, a nod to all sorts of early 90s atrocities:

The video edit can be found on iTunes, but you can get additional bonus tracks by buying the single at Bandcamp.

Hot on the heels of Speedisko 2 comes a brand new single from Disko Warp featuring a cover of Smile.dk’s legendary “Butterfly.” With fantastic vocals and a bevy of remixes, it’s definitely one of DW’s best releases yet. The single is now up for sale on iTunes for $7.92.

Disko Warp presents Speedisko Vol. 3
Release Date: September 2010
Price: ???

The third volume in the Speedisko series will see a release later this September and will include another 8 Disko Warp hits. I’m personally looking forward to “I Wanna Be A Ninja (Ricardo Autobahn Remix).” I very much enjoyed the original, and Ricardo Autobahn can only increase the level of win.

Disko Warp presents Speedisko Vol. 2
Release Date: 7/13/10
Price: $7.92

Speedisko Vol. 2 finally sees a release after a short delay. The album is now up for sale on iTunes and Amazon for $7.92.

“I Wanna Be a Ninja” is the lead track and happens to be one of my favorites on the album. I could do without the sped-up vocals, but I love the use of Japanese instruments and the lyrics are undeniably catchy. Who doesn’t want to be a ninja?!

Another standout song, and perhaps my favorite on the album, is “Space Space Shooter,” a eurobeat track with lots of 8-bit samples. Space Invaders is an obvious inspiration and after listening to this I’m suddenly finding myself in the mood for some alien-blasting action.

Speaking of video games, Thomas H. Lichtenstein of DDR fame also makes an appearance on the album with “Keep It Real.” The song tries to imitate the Hyper Techno sound, but falls a little short. The synths are certainly there, but it lacks the energy of a true hyper techno song, particularly during the verses. I’d love to hear it with a different, more fitting remix.

Chris Jay, who previously did an awesome 80s PWL mix of “Oh Oh Sexy Vampire,” returns for Speedisko 2 with another retro-inspired track. This time, it’s a 90s eurodance remix of Peroxide Mocha’s “Don’t Have My Baby.” The vocalist is great on the song, and sings the hysterical lyrics without a hint of irony.
