subba-cultcha.com Euro disco, Euro Disco, Euro Disco, Burn the party down, eat the party, manipulate it with vocoders and cheap Casio keyboards... Taunt it, Flick it, Hurt it... Love it!
icWales "...as damn near a perfect a slice of indie dance as you're likely to hear this year. A religiously insistent beat thunders underneath a pounding rhythm"
boomkat.com I'm not certain what the original version of this track sounds like, but here we're treated to two remixes primed for the floor. The first is from everyone's favourite political plunderer Matthew Herbet and features some rather worrying helium vocals over a chipper disco beat - would work a treat sandwiched between Abba and Errorsmith if you ever get the chance..! The flipside features pounding beats, a looped vocal and some angular guitars - I guess there's nowt else left to do but party?
culturedeluxe.com Where were you the first time round? The Brighton supergroups first single is unleashed on us again, and a bloody good single it is. This is a fine slice of indie-pop that does the business of making you nod your head in time on the verses, then on the chorus sending 50 billion volts to your feet in an urge to make a twisted body impression of how you would look playing the guitar to this. Great shizzle.
dogmanet.org The Graham Sutton remix of Brighton super-group Brakes All Night Disco Party is an electro-tinged dancefloor winner with the best faux-ending we've heard in a while. The Kahuna mix is dirty electronica, whilst the Herbert Remix is like living inside a psychedelic Pacman game gone wrong. Uber-rocking, for sure.
IndieLondon gleefully checks out the cream of the week's singles: Disco Party remix - they specialise in delivering catchy blasts of dizzy rock-pop that could easily filter over into the dark scene. All Night Disco Party marks a re-release in slightly made over form, thanks to a dazzling remix that merely plays up the strengths of this cracking super-group. Taken from the debut album Give Blood, it's an energetic, dance-floor filler that is constructed around some rapid but catchy hooks and a cavalier style that is sure to win them new admirers on the second time of asking. Xfm are currently championing the song on most of their shows.
ireland.com We raved about this super, non-stop uber-rocking anthem last summer, and since then the tune has partied its way around the world. Here's a mix by Graham Sutton that retains the rock elements while still keeping it dancefloor friendly.
soundsxp.com (click link to read, it's very long) "Eamon Hamilton adopts a curiously German-sounding accent on three remixes which twist and mangle the original track with varying results". They also say the FC Kahuna mix is "arguably superior".
music-news.com The excellent stomping anthem taken from last years Give Blood album is a Blur-esque Girls and Boys moment for the here and now. The irresistible disco four to the floor beat is aided and abetted by a raucous guitar explosion and vocals to match. If only one song was allowed to be called disco punk it would have to be this. Eamon, ex BSP has now put all his musical eggs in the Brakes basket. Listen to Give Blood and you'll understand his decision. All Night Disco Party, remixed by Graham Sutton, is proof enough that Brakes will put their foot down and take off, but if you need a bit more convincing, invest in Give Blood.
chartsingles.net Kahuna's remix is the pick of the bunch here, this one focuses on the drums with an endogenous toe-tapping beat (you can play it at BBC Collective, see the review below)
BBC Collective (play the Kahuna remix) As we've noted and ruminated upon a number of times recently, if you want to get ahead in the indie game these days you want to get yourself a dance music remix. The latest guitar-wielding hopefuls to take their wares to Boogietown are the Brakes - tightly wound new wave popstrels led by Eamon Hamilton, ex-keyboardist with BSP. To give it its due, their newly reissued All Night Disco Party wasn't exactly lacking in disco oomph the first time around, but there's no denying that the swift-footed new remixes from Kahuna and the ever-inventive Herbert do breathe new life into the song.
The Mirror "...Roll out the lurex jumpsuit and let the glitter ball swing"
rock-city.co.uk Ever heard of a dance track with plenty of guitar rifts and drums blasting out? Or have you ever heard of an Indie track with Dance beats and the continuous lines over and over again? So what do you call it. "Indie Dance" is that even a name? No doubt some bright spark will come up with "Brit Dance"... The music itself is great and as I have said not quite Dance and not quite Indie or Rock (click link to read it all)

contactmusic.com The mesmerizing accompaniment provided by members of ESP wanders off from a solid rock base to add some spacey quirkiness... Eamon does not seem to be looking back, as he confidently strides into new territory with the help from a seriously talented backing outfit.
