Holiday In Arabia – Remixes

Holiday In Arabia - Remixes

Mouth – Schloggers EP

Schloggers EP

Mouth is Luca Fontaneto. After a more than rewarding experience with the world touring garage rock band Hot Gossip he took a one year hiatus, left Italy and went to bath in the arabic sea and to feed his soul in India, where he found his soul mate indian artist and designer Perpetual Dicky.

During this year he composed these five tracks with a crappy laptop, a broken pair of headphones and no alcohol and drugs.

Eventually he got married and lives happily and produces his sexy blend of pop, psichedelia and house in his basement studio.

Billy Bogus – Disco Lambro ’76

Disco Lambro 76

Another great Italian producer is with us for this release. Billy Bogus, the boss from Pizzico Records with his “Disco Lambro ’76” a massive spoken word house piece. The long vocal sample about free festivals, hard drugs and 70’s counterculture gets chopped, sliced and layered upon a big funk house beat. Then Johnny Paguro takes the piece into 80’s House zone, while The Love Supreme pitch the track down to 110bpm and explore a more kraut-balearic side of the cut. On The B side we get atmospheric with “Older”. Sax stabs, echoed percussions and a moody vocal sample are underlined by a driving slow dancefloor beat. The Kael Misko rework keeps the mood and turns the track into a club killer.

VVAA – Life On The Moon Vol.1

Life On The Moon Vol.1

There’s life on the moon… Three new artists on the label, a little taster of their producing skills.

Lord Of The Isles with ‘Laser Dream Sequence’, a nine minute long voyage into the deepness of cosmic space. ‘Problems’ by MSB in the Ilya Santana remix version grabs the psychedelic guitars of the original, adds deep synth pads and a steady beat and turns it into a club hit. ‘Il Treno Dei Dannati’, a classic Italo track with a live feel from Disco Volante Records’ Label Manager, Cloned In Vatican.

Exclusive release on Junodownload >December 6th

Club Silencio – Painted Boxes

For our second release we have set up an all Italian team of disco stars: Club Silencio are the founders of the now infamous Discolimone night at Sottomarino Giallo (recently praised by Tim Sweeney as “Best Gig of the year 2008″). Their debut on 12″ appeared at the end of 2008 with “Welcome To The Silence” on Ilija Rudman’s Red Music. The following “The Guitar Man” saw them teaming up with the Barking Dogs and was playlisted by all the big names of the scene. Nothing to say more!

Here on MOM002 they deliver a slo-mo deep groove in pure cosmic style coupled with a disco bass which is guaranteed to shake any dancefloor. Sampling work at its best.

For the first remix The Heels Of Love take on from their analog arsenal and work an all acid bassline to top the disco beat.

The final rework is done by Josè Manuel, an habitué of the nu-disco scene (with releases on Eskimo and Kill The DJ and his own imprint Black Pepper). He dwelves in the unexplored territories of experimentalism and here you have it: Italo-glitcy!!.

In the shops now.
