Drops from the first week of November!

Hey everyone - welcome back at the discotheque.

November is now upon us - and this last week has seen some absolutely incredible releases from some amazing artists. Although I think it'll be hard to outdo last month in terms of epicness - from how things have been shaping up this week - we're likely to see another incredible month - let's dive into the new releases!


Le Babar - Easy Love EP
Released through Brazilian label 294 on November 6th - Easy Love is the stunning new EP from Belgian producer Le Babar - known for his smooth, funky nu disco productions as of recent - and also for his contributions to the blog era of French house - he used to run legendary label GrooveTraxx back in the day!

This brand new EP is absolutely gorgeous - it's nu disco of the highest order - filled with rich, soulful instrumentation, extremely funky tracks which will - no doubt, light up clubs and festivals over the coming months - and most importantly, it's one of the most jubilant releases to come out this year. There's lots of different moods and vibes here - the opening, titular track is a glamorous, slow-going tour through one of Belgium's most impressive producers - Intentions is a brilliant, glitzy banger with delightful vocal work from L U and brilliant synth work - Sweet Nothing (my personal favourite on the record) is a fantastic disco house workout with some beautiful compositional features (the Rhodes are absolutely angelic!) - and it reminds me heavily of Mr. Hoosteen's work - which is a massive plus - and finally, Moodswing is a bright, energetic disco house track stuffed with effortless grooves and buckets of joy.

In short, this new EP is absolutely fantastic - and a must have for anyone who wants something bright, funky - at times, sexy - and above all, fun.

You can find this brand new EP on all good streaming services - I'll link the Spotify and Traxsource pages here.




Chicks On Speed - Mind Your Own Business (Broken Embraces Edit)
Stepping away from the smooth disco sounds of Le Babar's new EP - the new remix from Uruguay's finest bloghouse producer Broken Embraces graced us on November 4th. Independently released through SoundCloud - this edit has everything that Broken Embraces has become known for - this remix is fast, extremely brash and heavy - and features the now iconic, pounding synth work that he's become synonymous with - and extremely dense, punchy production. 

Side note to all of the DJs reading this - if you want something darker to get everyone going - stick this in your crate - and then go and thank Broken Embraces in the comments (be sure to link a YouTube video of you dropping it with the crowd going mental in 360p for that 2008 effect!)



MACROSS 82-99 - Higher Vibes EP
On November 5th - the future funk scene saw the return of one of its greatest purveyors - Mexico born, Japan based producer MACROSS 82-99 came in hot with his brand new EP Higher Vibes, which contains three absolutely killer tracks built for clubs and DJ sets. Stuffed to the brim with fantastic sampling techniques, thumping beats, some obvious trap influences and a whole lot of style - this is a release you cannot miss. My personal favourite on this EP is Party Groovin' - an infectious, catchy French house influenced track which was initially released on the 10th anniversary edition of A Million Miles Away through Neoncity Records. The other two tracks on this fantastic EP - Higher Vibes and Higher Energy are just as good.

Higher Vibes - the opener for the EP, is a short, yet sweet ditty with lots of fantastic, frenetic chopping - reminding me heavily of Drugs by Aests - while the EP's closer Higher Energy is an expertly produced French house jam which reminds me heavily of the late 2000s era of the genre - it has slight elements of nostalgic sentimentality - while still being fun and quirky in the styles of Calembour and Lebatman, with a fresh modern twist!

You can find Higher Vibes here!



Del4y - Dynamite
Released independently through SoundCloud on November 4th - Dynamite is the fantastic new future funk single from Mexican producer Del4y. Dynamite is an extremely awesome, glittery future classic with some great production, heavy beats and enough joy to power a damn city. To add - and I know I say this a lot for great future funk releases - but this could have easily been a key fixture during the golden ages of future funk - filed next to the work of Aloe Island Posse, ID Chief and AnTgry - which makes this new single a perfect one for those missing that golden Artzie era of the genre. In short - it's a great new track, with some dope sample selection and even glossier production, so go and give it a spin!


There you have it, everyone!

I hope you've enjoyed reading today's post - and as always. support all of the artists featured in today's post!

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...
