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.

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...

Prime summer drops and fun new things!

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. Anyway, let's get to the awesome new things that have come out! Tater Andersson - Superstars To start off this post, here's something a little bit different. On June 23rd, Norwegian electroclash / blog house musician and producer Tater Andersson released Superstars - a fun, yet dark and exciting punk electro track with some kick ass production, some sweet vocals from the man h...
