Valentines Day Drops

It seems that this year's Valentines Day is set to be a great one - particularly because there have been FOUR new releases from some of future funk / french house / nu disco's best artists today alone. Here's my opinion on these new singles!

Discoholic and DATAGIRL - Blame It On the DJ

Just as I expected, this song is freaking awesome. As the post above states, this new single is an infectious groove which would wreck dancefloors of the late 70s and early 80s. The production is great (the melody is so groovy!) and if that wasn't enough, DATAGIRL's fantastic vocals compliment the song amazingly. A sweet little nu disco groove you can dance to this Valentines. What's not to love?

blip_ and Daniel Fowler - Mirage

This was a lovely surprise this morning - I was looking around the internet to check if there was anything new to write about and hey - here's a new tune from blip_ and Daniel Fowler!

This is produced amazingly well. Sure, it's still future funk (the city pop samples are very much audible) but there are many original elements involved - new instruments, basses, tight drums and sweet chopping make this a standout new release in the scene - it also has just the right amount of energy to get clubs going. For the DJs: Is this one to put in your sets? Without a doubt.

FIBRE - in a vision (Mr Hoosteen's Second Sight Remix)

It's FIBRE and Mr Hoosteen. Is there much more to say?

Well, hell yeah! Released on Montaime today, this funky remix of FIBRE's dance pop anthem "in a vision" incorporates disco style instrumentation, plus small elements of acid! (note the epic 303 pattern that appears at one point during the remix!)

Overall it's a really cool jam that's set to make rounds this summer. A sweet re-imagining of a modern FIBRE classic.

サクラSAKURA-LEE - Burn Me Up

Now, as much as we love nu disco and future funk on this blog (why do you think I named it "at the discotheque"?) I also love French house tracks, and this is a true club weapon which reminds me truly of "Cherry Pepsi" by future funk and vaporwave legend SAINT PEPSI. It was released on Cherry Pink Records this morning and I will admit - I only just found this now!

Either way, it's a truly class outing from Sakura, and a welcome addition to this year's already growing wealth of awesome tracks. Another note to DJs: Is this another one to put in your crate? It'd be a damn shame if you didn't!

So, there you have it folks. Four new bangers for you to go and check out this wonderful day.

As always, keep enjoying your stay at the discotheque.

Hey everyone - welcome back at the discotheque!

We're now halfway through March (spring is finally arriving, yay!) - and over the last two weeks - there has been so, so many amazing released and a bunch of dope news. In this post - there are several people who regular readers will know - and also a bunch of new talents that are making their debut on the blog. Get the popcorn. This is going to be an extra special post! Let's get started! Discoholic (feat. Vampire Loves Sunny) - Sparkle On! One of my favourite releases to come out so far this year - the brand new single from Washington D.C based DJ, producer and multi-instrumentalist Discoholic is absolutely incredible - and it brings me so, so much joy. As always, the production on this single is absolutely phenomenal - it's effortlessly clean, sparkly (see what I did there?) and extremely bright and fun. As per usual, the instrumentation is gorgeous, rich and glittery - making it a perfect track to spin at parties, or just ...
