“Stone Fox” by Hunter as a Horse is a trip through music history – a mix of Moon Pix era Cat Power vocals with nu-disco synths at the 1:26 mark, fun roller disco style of variety of instruments (metal tin beats?) and percussions, then moves to a dream pop style overture and breathy vocals at the 2:43, finishing off with library cosmic synths at the 3:26 mark that then slows down to a more typical dream pop. Finally finishing off at 5:17 with dark wave synths building on top of the dream pop breathy vocals.

“He Keeps Me Alive” by Sally Shapiro
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.”
“Always” by Panama (Classixx Remix)
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.
