Hey everyone - welcome back at the discotheque! As I said in part one of this post, the last few weeks were quite frankly nuts for French house, future funk, nu disco and electro - and I'm very pleased to report, readers, that this next part is full of even more awesome stuff. As per usual, there's some newer people on the blog today alongside many artists you're bound to know - and to add, there's also been some pretty sweet re-releases too (and I don't really mention those often!) - so I hope you enjoy delving into all of this amazing new music. Without further ado, let's begin! Midnight City - Rushin' If you've been keeping up in the French house scene lately, then you're bound to have heard the work of Liverpool-based production duo Midnight City, who have been making moves for the last thirteen years for labels such as Pete Tong's FFRR, Glasgow Underground, Henry Street and of course, their own label All Night Long - which the duo's late...

Hey everyone - welcome back at the discotheque! It's been a damn long time since I made a post detailing all of the fantastic new releases within a given period - and let me tell you, readers, the last four weeks have seen some of the finest releases in French house, nu disco and electro house of this year so far, so I'm incredibly excited to be reporting on a whole bunch of awesome music once again! In this first part, my attention is going to be given to a host of brand new talents on the blog, alongside people you're bound to know, so buckle your seat belts, because this last month was pretty damn mad - let's get started! Les Loups - That Feeling Starting on the topic of new talents on the blog, I'm genuinely surprised that I've never talked about Hamburg-based production trio Les Loups, who over the last decade and a half have released some of the smoothest nu disco and filter house cuts available on the internet, and with official remixes from the likes of ...

Released around twenty one years ago - Daft Punk's junior album Human After All divided many professional critics upon release, and for understandable reasons. I'll make this very clear, right from the get go, and admit that Human After All is a very, very different record from its predecessors - both in sound and in overall tone. Homework is built for clubbing, and had tons of American influence, and Discovery (which remains my favourite record of all time!) is a perfect record from start to finish, filled with iconic filter house classics, warm, glittery pop and themes of childhood. In comparison, Human After All is cold, somewhat dystopian, repetitive and machine like - which is somewhat fitting, seeing as it was around this time the enigmatic Parisian duo decided to lean fully into their robot personas, but despite the change in sound - which to many, seemed jarring and odd - in my eyes, Human After All is still a fantastic record, just with a little less glamour. Before I ...

Hey everyone - welcome back at the discotheque! It's been a hot minute since I did a post centered around the stuff that's been on heavy rotation in my life at this moment in time, and seeing as we're now basically in autumn (which really sucks in my opinion, I absolutely adore summer!) - I thought that I'd give you readers some sweet recommendations for your month ahead, whilst also doing some mini reviews on tracks I absolutely love. Without further ado - let's get started! Eric Prydz - Slammin' (2003) I've been listening to French / filter house properly for almost around two years now, and while I'd consider myself to be decently knowledgeable on most of the genre's eras - the early to mid 2000s scene is where I'd like to think the majority of my gaps are, especially with the Swedish scene from that time, which pumped out loads of absolute classics in what was essentially a three year golden period, perhaps the most popular purveyor being Eri...
