GLOVES (aka the “Synth Shaman”) has once again used his silky (or perhaps leathery) touch to transform the Treehouse song “Gold Fields” into something that immaculately calculates the Binary equation: it’s LUSH. Released exclusively by GDD a couple weeks ago, Treehouse is a typical GLOVES re-work, in that it’s a groovy ass, dreamwavey track with an uplifting vibe and synths for days.

Gold Fields – Treehouse (Gloves Remix) by GLOVES

It’s fitting that it’s about to be summertime in Australia. If you have the fortune of living somewhere where there’s always blue skies, bikinis, and sunlight, pop this one on, sit back, sip a Planter’s Punch, and nod your head.

GLOVES is truly one of the finer remixers in the nu-disco game, and this track just confirms the power of his magical touch. When it comes to the art of the disco-remix, GLOVES takes this cherry flavored ear candy to the next level. While there is a time and place for a pounding bass and a ruckus beat, there are times in life when I’d rather float in a tamer ocean and let the calmer waves carry me rather then get clobbered by 10-foot monsters. GLOVES takes you on a slow groovy climb into the clouds and then hits the speed boosts like in Mario Kart, slowing down for the curves and then picking up the pace for the straight shots.

REMIX: Van She – Changes (GLOVES Remix) by GLOVES

Who is this mysterious Melbourne based funky DJ? A quick glance at his bio makes it pretty clear that, if you’re unfamiliar with him, the Yama Indra is all sorts of awesome:

“Gloves, The Synth Shaman’, bike slut and occasional tennis enthusiast better known to some of us as Yama Indra, holds a list of dance-til-you-drop-dead accolades that would make any “been-there-done-that” globe-trotting journey with a chip on their shoulder envious.”

REMIX: Matt Van Schie – Saturday Night (GLOVES Remix) by GLOVES

This was the first GLOVES remix that beckoned my ears, and it still vibes. GLOVES takes a poppy, decent track and turns it into a blizzard of discoey beats that rise and fall, transforming it into a certified party jam, if your party has any class. At the 1:30 mark, something ethereal happens, as GLOVES implements his patented calm before the storm. The rest of his remixes continue to display this knack for turning the ordinary into something magical. Like a Fred Falke, the only criticism I can see anyone having for GLOVES is that all his remixes have a similar vibe to them…But if it feel so right, who gives a shit?

P.S. Not only is GLOVES a talented musician, but he’s also the man, as I had the fortune of meeting him at Pacific OC and watching his splendid set.Sorry about the lighter bro, I still have it if you want it back.
