Disco Disco Germany Vinilo y CD

Review: There is a great combination of the classic and the contemporary on this new Disco Disco 12". 'Paradise' is both deep yet moving, a warm tune with cuddly drums but retro chords that bring the energy. 'Latino' has shimmering hand claps and sensuous vocals with hulking great kicks that are full of promise. 'It Was Just A Dream' pairs vocoder vocals with glistening synth details and another enthralling and heavyweight house groove and 'RUFF Menace' then taps into 80s synth sounds with its stomping beats and deadpan vocals brought to life with celebratory synth chords.

Review: Markus "Delfonic" Lindner is well-schooled in decades of house and disco music. He brings all of that knowledge to everything he does and for this outing on Germany's Disco Disco he combines both of those influences. 'Flesh To Flesh' has a brilliant retro energy with lots of instrumental funk, live-sounding drums and horn stabs effervescing with real warmth. 'Kiss Kiss' is a big old-school vocal disco anthem with an exuberant glow and 'Set Me Free' gets more deep and dark with more house swing in the kicks. 'You Like It We Love It' is the final disco flame to ignite any party of people who really know what's up.

Review: The still somewhat mysterious producer North 90 has since gone on to develop such projects as the 'Model' EP for Machine North, but this is their smashing debut: opening with the sonic rainbow-road that is 'We Prefer Fridays' before seguing into the sexual dub-Italo of 'I Wil'; then a B-side with a model rerub of 'A Guy Called' Gerald's signature acid style, before shooting a nod of backhanded but well-intentioned encouragement our way with the flippy, dreamatic 'Good Start'.

Review: NicePeople co-founder Giuseppe Scarano has been making some terrific house and disco in recent years. Disco Disco Germany has been a home for his music in the past and here they've located some unsold copies of the sought after 'What A Feeling' EP somewhere in the depths of their warehouse. 'Feel Da Groove' is a classic sounding, big stomping high energy disco track for the main floor full of energy. ' ACID Banger' is just that. A banger with little letdown that works a crowd into a complete frenzy. Each track has a bit of 90s house energy in them because the beat's stomp hard with no let up. 'Living Da Life' is a good example of that hard hitting attack. 'Jazzy Swing' follows it up with a phased-out chorus blended over some intense house spirit. If you like intense tracks that pay an homage to French, New York and Chicago disco-house day's then this EP should be in your cart.

Review: Giuseppe Scarano channels an authentic, not hubristic, pride in the dance on his latest contribution to Disco Disco. 'Disco Pride' feeds the sampled origins of four, still unknown disco originals back into four equally modern 4x4 beat-forms, producing the utmost punchiest nu-discoic sound. Naming his first track after the label - 'Disco Disco' - we're met with bright, sizzling strings and lilting radiophonic sample bursts, before swaying into the relentless funk of 'Dancin All Night Long', and B-siders 'Anything For Me' and 'Dance With Me', the last of which brings the only flavours of garage house to the mix.

Review: Berlin's Disco Disco give us disco not once, but twice. This homespun label attests to its artisanship by limiting each of its releases to short 500-ish runs, and hand-stamping each and every one of them. The latest of its type is this new one from ethereal disco-house artist Ube, offering a new three-track sex-lixir. We reach a mellow precipice on 'On The Edge', reining in our impulse to let loose through skilfully withheld chords and jutting, yet still attenuated and hazy backing elements. 'Corsica Deep' and 'Heatwave' offer two further divesuited and snorkeled visions of the deep, their fluttery surround elements and murmurations suggesting the presence of sunken ghosts.
