Sebastien Leger has been killing it. For like, almost ten years. Heres a bouncy little filter house jam called "Ice Cream" off Riviera's 2000 comp "Cruel Summer". The guitar in this jams. Serious. I think my lady and I picked this one up in Amsterdam that year. Oh, what jetsetters we were...
Imagine you're aboard the Love Boat, gliding across pixelated seas, a tikibot band playing by the pool, the warm breeze in your face... hold it... perfect. Now listen to this.
If you are like me, you probably have this song on your computer already and have never even heard it. It just popped up on shuffle and I'm blown. It sounds like Todd Edwards inhuman microediting skills mixed with the Jaxx' magic dust of bleeps, bells, and whistles. By Ratcliffe? Who? Oh! Simon Ratcliffe of Basement Jaxx?! Now it all makes sense. You guys lost me on the last album, but a few more tracks like this and I'll be right back with ya. As for Dragonette... eh.
Picked up this Johnny Chingas record at a thrift store in hopes that it was another version of Automatic Lover. Nope. However it's still amazing. An unrelenting disco beat, a strange handclap, lots of synth squiggle interludes and a nice little tune. In my excitement about Mr. Chingas I searched out anything I could find and came up with this E.T. inspired piece of work. Kraftwerk meets Santana? Hells yeah.
LSB are killing it! Hot on the heels of the Fog 12" comes the new Super Discoteca Vol. 2 with stellar edits of Barbara Norris, Blondie, Gino Soccio, Fun Fun and P. Lion. How does Pete Herbert have time for it all? My fave here has to be this edit of Mark Shreeve's own remix of Legion.
My favorite coke song ever. Debbie and Giorgio together? Can't go wrong. Can you imagine how much coke probably got lost in Moroder's trademark moustache? Oodles.
I normally try (try is the keyword) to stay out of the big blogger hype posts but this one's so strange and lovely that I just have to share. M.I.A. makes a foray into disco Bollywood territory with extra echoey vocals (she sings!), big strings and touches of twinkly 8 bit bleeps.
