What's up everyone - welcome back at the discotheque.
We're now mid-way through November (seriously, where does all of the time go?) and just like last week - there's been barrels of incredible new releases from so many awesome people everywhere. Buckle your seat belts - because this week has been epic - let's get started!
Released through legendary underground collective Nuixante on November 7th - Imparable is the fantastic new single from CitrikkAcid and blip_ - two of the finest producers to grace future funk and French house. Imparable is, at heart - an extremely fun, epic filter house banger which reminds me of the early work of Louis La Roche (Distant Lovers, anyone?) while borrowing from the sounds of early 2000s French house - it's funky, has one of the most killer bass lines of the year and some dope talk-box / vocoder action to boot.
In short - this is music for summer, long days at the beach, or for late 90s Parisian clubs and house parties. Don't miss it. It is available through Nuixante's Bandcamp now.
CyanBlue - From Out Of The Blue
Released through iconic netlabel Business Casual today - From Out Of The Blue is the cracking new album from Canadian future funk producer CyanBlue - and boy, it is fantastic. Across ten excellent tracks, the legendary producer showcases his talent sharply with tons of club ready jams, punchy bangers and as always - incredible sampling techniques and a whole lot of style. Boasting collaborations with Seth Nova, Midnight Drift, FrankJavCee, Future Funk Monthly, Malena and Bejamin Lawrence - this release is packed with awesome names who contribute with gorgeous instrumentation (the sax on Falling is absolutely incredible!) - adding to this already amazing piece of work.
My personal favourites on this new album include Look No Further - a punchy and incredibly funky banger that reminds me slightly of You Set Me Free - a single from 2017 initially released through Nightfall featuring ev.exi - LOVECAN (featuring Midnight Drift) - a joyful, tightly produced future classic that wouldn't sound out of place on FIBRE's 2014-2016 - and finally, the hip hop influenced Let's Stay Together - featuring some beautiful instrumentation, relaxing vibes and great vocal work from Seth Nova. That being said - there's still plenty of dope tracks in here - making it one of the most exciting album releases in the future funk scene this year - go and grab it!
You can find it through Business Casual's Bandcamp page - where it is available digitally and on cassette.
Danny Brown and Underscores - Copycats (SHPESHFTR Remix)
Moving away from the sweet funky sounds of the previous two releases on this post - on November 10th. everyone's favourite Ontario based bloghouse producer SHPESHFTR dropped a monster of a remix - a pounding, epic and frankly insane edit of Danny Brown and Underscores' Copycats which packs, potentially the universe's biggest punch.
As always, SHPESHFTR brings his signature mix of bass heavy synthesis, choppy, pounding beats, a whole lot of distortion and killer sampling skills - (who can spot the samples and callbacks to his previous work?) - and above all, it's an insane return from one of bloghouse's freshest new talents. Go and grab the single now through Bandcamp.
Corrout and blip_ - Go-Go-Groove!
Released through legendary label Coraspect Media Group today - Go-Go-Groove is the brand new collaborative album from At The Discotheque's resident Australians - blip_ and Corrout. Across this release's 13 tracks - the listener is taken on a fantastically produced journey through classic future funk, anime groove, modern J-pop and great cuts inspired by French house and the nu-disco movement - alongside plenty of quirky bonuses and great moments, which are stuffed everywhere. This album, at heart - is modern future funk at it's finest - Go-Go-Groove is relentlessly jubilant, exceedingly fun and in general, an absolute pleasure to listen to.
My favourite tracks on this dazzling new release include Six - a J-pop influenced banger with thumping production and dope beats - making it a slightly quirky, yet openly awesome track to drop in the middle of your sets for some variation - the excellent future funk hip hop hybrid Rhythm, featuring Argentina's resident funk master Zai Kowen - the effortlessly groovy Dawn featuring A-Bug, and finally, the brilliant Round and Round - a brilliant J-pop / anime groove / future funk track which feels perfect for those upcoming spring days.
You can find Go-Go-Groove through Coraspect's Bandcamp page - where, alongside ordering it digitally, you can grab it on limited edition vinyl and cassette now.
Party Night - Step Back
Everybody's favourite Guatemalan future funk / house producer Party Night has been on an absolute roll recently - and his new single Step Back proves this excellently. A funky, punchy single with some incredibly fine production - with some added glamour to really do the job - Step Back sounds like a serious homage to the sounds of French house, while bringing some sweet modern vibes. The guy can do no wrong!
Find it on SoundCloud here!
Mr. Oizo - Jo (dreamer '87 Edit)
To end this post out - I thought I'd just briefly mention my brand new edit of Mr. Oizo's choppy, blog era banger Jo - complete with a whole lot of low end (well, as much as I could bring without it sounding too muddy, haha!) and some frantic synth work and tons of chops. I'm super proud of it, and if you haven't checked it out yet, please do - feedback is greatly appreciated!
There you have it, everyone!
