Disco In Distress Pt 1

A new compilation of deep disco from four different producers on Amplified’s Disco In Distress series. Russian producer Lay-Far uses some canny mid-tempo glitterball samples on «Yellow» but mostly keeps them filtered deep under some Revenge-style drums, while Lump takes a vocal from a Bill Withers-esque singer and layers it nicely over a classy house backing. Mudeg supplies a bubbly future-bass number, complete with some gurgling retro acid lines on «Luv No Guarantee» while Nicholas’ funky and slow «Wind City» rounds off the collection in a soulful, Roy Ayres-ish mood.
played by: Gerd, Visti, Jacques Renault, Solab, Amplified Orchestra, Cottam, Outernational Holland, The Legendary 1979 Orchestra, Get Down Edits, East Soul Person

Maurice Aymard Italo Slot EP

Intriguingly, the title track does not take inspiration from the excesses of late 70s Rimini but rather the jazzy house of 90s New York as sweet strings push the arrangement into a filtered breakdown. The Big Apple’s influence comes to the fore on the Eddie C rework of «Italo Slot», where funk guitar stabs are fused with a walking bassline. However, the Italo influences finally surface on «El Sexto», where airy synths are combined with stacatto drums for the most dance floor moment on the release. Completing the package is Trujillo’s remix of the title track, which offers a more laid back, windswept version.

The magician.....

His background is shrouded in mystery, his powers are supernatural and his reputation is whispered about among men. He goes by different names, but folks just call him The Magician.

One night not so long ago, he appeared from a place between space and time. The Magician stepped into this world, materializing in a cloud of crystal stars and soft pink smoke. Some say he is the guardian angel of all resident DJ’s, others claim he’s a former airline pilot who crashed an afterparty – some say it’s just an illusion, a well performed hoax. But is it really?
Everywhere The Magician goes, there’s music in the air. People come under his spell and dance like there’s no tomorrow. Lost in a purple haze, transfixed in a flurry of white doves. He makes clubbers float through disco heaven and takes them around the house on a magic carpet ride. Behind his green translucent eyes, there’s an unlimited knowledge of the musical past, present and future.

The Magician shifts shapes in a heartbeat and appears all throughout the world. One moment he’s sprinkling space dust on the Balearic isles, next he’s performing his rhythmic hocus pocus between the smoke and mirrors of a glitzy nightclub in Santiago or Moscow. When he vanishes, the only proof of his existence The Magician leaves are his ‘magic tapes’, a sample of his magnetising skills.

No magic wand or top hat needed, it’s all in his wizardly mind and flexible fingertips. The Magician has more than one trick up his sleeve though; word has it that the mystery man is working on a special formula to transform the musical workings of others – and don’t be amazed if, one day, he perfects his craft and creates his very own brand of spectral sounds.

Forget that Potter kid, Gandalf or Merlin, and get ready for a new chapter in the world of wonder and bewitchment. Get ready for The Magician.

Laidback thursday

If Cole Medina and his American Standard imprint can hit big with slo-mo reworks of Olivia Newton John and Spandau Ballet, then LOTI, aka Lord Of the Isles, looks set for big things with «What’s Lord Got To Do With It?», which reinvents Tina Turner’s 80s soft-pop monster «What’s Love Got To Do With It?». There’s no second hand emotions here though, just sizzling summer bar vibes – with that chugging rhythm and drifty flute atmospherics, it’s like the charity shop find B-side Balearic remix you dream about uncovering but never actually do. On the flipside LOTI ups the pace with the excellent «With An Angel», which takes snippets of Marvin Gaye’s «Come Live With Me Angel» and weaves them into quite a driving disco-house groove – one for the later-hour dancefloor.

Havana Candy

Havana Candy are a mysterious pair of cosmic crusaders hailing from deep within the East Lancs metropolitan district. Brimming with northern balearic attitude and a penchant for country gent attire, toy camera's and specimen carp hunting, the pair were fed from an early age on a diet of Chicago, Detroit, disco, krautrock and Italian cosmic grooves.


Havana Candy continue in their pursuit of all things deep and spacey, delivering a four track EP of synth and piano led, Italo influenced Nu-Disco, backed up by an excellent remix of Rimentos Sical by Italian duo Irregular Disco Workers.


Enjoy...
