New Drops: March 7th

 The first week of March is already over (where did all of the time go?!) and we already have a lot to talk about this week in the future funk and french house scenes, respectively. Be prepared to find loads of awesome new jams from lots of awesome people.


To start this post off, let's talk about B FROM E's brand new EP - the second in the Samsara Cycles series, known as Earth Night, released on French based house label Happiness Therapy today. 

This is a truly fantastic piece of work - ever since the opening track Yum! was released as a single, I'd been waiting for this EP for over a month and it was truly worth the wait - five club ready bangers built for summer days and having fun. My favourite tracks include Yum, Scoopy (my personal favourite, the melody is so catchy!) and Float Part II. 

You can buy the EP digitally through Happiness Therapy's Bandcamp page and also order the vinyl 12" - there are currently 24 remaining as I write this though, so be quick team!



Here's something new from UK based future funk / french house / drum and bass producer Strawberry Station, the single "One Feeling" - a fun little track for parties and undoubtedly a great future funk outing. This was also supposed to be the next entry in his yearly future funk song series (Future Funk 2025) however it later took a different direction instead. Still though, this is a super sweet tune - huge shoutout to Strawberry Station himself.

You can find the track on his Bandcamp.


I did not expect to find this at all today - but it truly is a pleasant surprise, being the new album from UK based future funk producer Jingoro, aptly titled Times We Had. Most of the tracks come from the EP of the same name (which is a great release, may I add) along with a few new tracks and the odd single here and there.

This album is very good - all of the songs are basically quintessential modern future funk - with some awesome sample selections, tight production and overall, lots of catchy, fun grooves. My favourite tracks include Lucky (which features Don't Say - go and check out his solo stuff too!) Secrets and the purely brilliant Agent Girl, which was one of, if not my favourite future funk song of 2024.

To add - Times We Had has been released through American label Business Casual - you can buy the album digitally there (or order it on limited edition cassette) and if you want to support Jingoro independently, you can get this album through his Bandcamp page. It (hopefully) will also be on Spotify when the time comes. For now, here's the alternate cover used on Business Casual.



Finally, today Corrout dropped an awesome future funk / anime groove track sampling Persona - it's an awesome track, fused with his signature style of mashing great beats and groovy sample selection. You can find it on Spotify currently. (I'm having to use his Bandcamp profile picture as I can't find a good image of the single for now!)

As always, thank you for reading, 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...

  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.

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.
