The Month in Review: February 2025

It's been an incredibly busy month in the future funk / nu disco and french house scenes - here's all of the cool things that happened in the month of February 2025, all summed up here on at the discotheque.



Just days into February, Justice win the Grammy for best Dance/Electronic Recording on the 3rd - marking Justice's 3rd Grammy win in total and their first since 2018's Woman Worldwide. Like I said in the opening post of this blog - congratulations to you both! Neverender is a fantastic song, and if you haven't checked it out, I highly recommend doing so.


This month Australian future funk producer blip_ released two fantastic singles - the brilliant "Mirage" released on Valentines Day with Daniel Fowler and "The Way You Move" released on February 21st with Kirecko, both through Pacific Collective. He's making a lot of waves right now in the scene and is slowly building a good following - side note to those looking for new jams - this guy is one you need to look out for. Things are looking gooood.


When I did my Valentines blog post this month detailing most of the new releases that had dropped - about an hour after Discoholic alerted me that Skylar Spence (aka / fka SAINT PEPSI) had released a remix of Sabrina Carpenter's "Espresso" - it is no surprise to no one whatsoever that it is an extremely amazing remix - filled with sweet grooves and his classic production style. If you weren't aware of this, please go and check it - the legendary prom king has returned.



As if it was right on cue - just today a fresh new cut dropped on FIBRE's label Montaime - the third remix of his dance pop classic "in a vision" done by the awesome VAPERROR. 

This remix is a groovy, fun take on the original song which feels very reminiscent of 70s disco - there's some sweet instrumentation (particularly with the chords) and the bass line is funky as hell (as hinted by the super cool cover, which features a BASS, not a regular guitar!)


To add, this remix fits nicely along side Mr Hoosteen's "Second Sight" remix, which was released on Valentines Day - which is just as good! (see the Valentines Day Drops post for more info on that!) - for now, here's the cover for that remix (see above!)


On February 12th - we had Brayan Rojitas and SAKURA-LEE grace us with the amazing "The Way You Love Me" - a fantastic french house / future funk song released through a joint venture with Cherry Pink Records and Neon Soda. Side note to DJs - put this absolute banger in your sets, along with "Burn Me Up" - the latest single from SAKURA-LEE (also mentioned in the Valentines post)

Finally - we had three awesome drops for the rest of this month - we had Discoholic and DATAGIRL's amazing "Blame it on the DJ" - also featured on the Valentines post (and thank you for the love on the blog, Discoholic!)


We had TwoForty drop an awesome funky single at the start of the month, called "don't throw it all away"


And finally, we had the amazing Jingoro drop a brand new six track EP last week called Satisfaction - review coming soon on the blog!


SIDE NOTE:

I just want to say the biggest thank you to everyone supporting at the discotheque - it's been a wild journey so far, and I want to thank everyone who has read, commented and followed the blog so far - I cannot believe we're on 300+ reads in the first two weeks!

More coming soon, and keep enjoying your stay at the discotheque.

Interview: Louis La Roche

  Hello everyone - welcome back at the discotheque. Today's post is extremely special - as we get to hear from UK based nu disco, pop and French house producer Louis La Roche - a veteran in the French house scene of the late 2000s and an extremely accomplished musician in his own right - with his work amassing tens of millions of streams and a heavy amount of incredible remixes under his belt. It is an honor to get him onto the blog! Without further ado, I'll let him do the talking! For those that don’t know you – who are you, and what music do you make? I’m Brett Francis Ewels, I’m a DJ/Producer from the UK. I started my career making French Touch inspired music, which has slowly evolved into Nu Disco and Pop over the years. What musicians, producers and artists inspire you the most in your work overall? It changes everyday. Seriously. Inspiration can come from anywhere. A lot depends on my mood or my headspace. It’s just knowing where to pull from. If it’s a Funk song, it’s t...

Interview: Corrout

  Hey, readers of the blog! Today I am excited to bring you the first interview on at the discotheque - we get to hear from Australian future funk producer Corrout, who right now is making rounds in the scene for his unique style and his collaborations with Jingoro, TwoForty, blip and more. Anyway, that's enough of me - I'll let Corrout do the talking. 1 - For those that don't know you - who are you and what music do you make? Hello readers! I'm Corrin, also known as Corrout within the music scene, making future funk and adjacent genres. I'm known for my more unique approach in chopping, using chops both as a thing to make loops as well as chops to alternate the melody! I've made jungle and slushwave before as well when i feel in the mood to make it! 2 - What artists in particular inspire you the most in your work? It's hard for my style, I really stumbled into it myself. drruumm, M31-ZERO and blip_ have been giving me incredible amounts of feedback over the...

Hey everyone - welcome back at the discotheque. Over the last couple of weeks, there's been loads of amazing new releases, and I thought I'd finally get back to doing promotion posts after last week's host of incredible interviews - I can't thank all of the interviewees enough for their co-operation and support - it means the world. I also just quickly want to thank everyone for the support over the last week, the growth for the blog has been insane and I am so happy that people are enjoying a random teenager's ramblings on scenes that really deserve more love - you're all awesome.
