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.

Mid August drops!

Hey everyone - welcome back at the discotheque. Today, I thought I'd do a post talking about some of the great new releases over the last week in French house, future funk and disco - there's been some super interesting and fun new cuts - so without further ado, let's get started! THAT'S MATT! - RED STATE ROMEO (THAT'S MATT ANTHEM) On August 15th, everyone's favourite disco cowboy That's Matt dropped an absolutely killer future funk single, which feels heavily inspired by Cape Coral and SebastiAn. A heavy, groovy single with some absolutely fantastic production, this track is fun, lawless in nature and super exciting, and it's packed with some great beats and dope vibes. A must buy for those into modern future funk. You can find it on all good streaming platforms now! Opierm - Forgotten What I Was Feeling Released today on his SoundCloud, Uruguayan producer Opierm's brand new single is such a beautiful piece of work. Inspired by the late 2000s work o...

Crydamoure is back (technically)

Hey everyone - welcome back at the discotheque. For today's post, I thought I'd write about something a little bit different. Over the last nine months or so, a small group of independent producers have been making waves in the French house scene for a simple reason - they're bringing back the sound of legendary French label Crydamoure with style. If you've been living under a rock for the past few decades - or are relatively new to the French house scene - Crydamoure was the record label ran by Guy-Man (one half of legendary duo Daft Punk) and Rico Chedeville between 1997 and 2003. In it's years of operation, it quickly became one of the most respected labels of its time - releasing several EPs and singles which became classics - from fantastic artists such as DJ Sneak, Paul Johnson, Play Paul, Sedat and Archigram, alongside Rico and Guy-Man themselves, under the alias "Le Knight Club" All of the records released through Crydamoure are of the highest orde...

Interview: Ghosts of Venice

Hey everyone - welcome back at the discotheque! It's been a hot minute since there was an interview on the blog - and to make up for that, tonight we have somebody extremely special in the virtual hot seat - the incredible Ghosts of Venice. Known for his illustrious career spanning over a decade and a half - he's released on some of house music's biggest labels, produced some of the hottest tracks and remixes around, has over a billion streams under his belt - and he's also a pretty cracking DJ and promoter. With all of this in mind - I knew he had to get onto the blog! So, without further ado - I'll let him do the talking! For those who don’t know – who are you, what music do you make and where are you from? My name is Lee Dunn, and I’ve gone by many monikers over the years, but most people know me as Ghosts of Venice. These days I mostly make Disco, and I’m from North Yorkshire, England. If you had to describe your sound to someone who’s never listened to your mu...
