The Hacker – Magical Voyage [TSRD052]

March 8, 2012February 5, 2018 hipodromedisco, electro, michel amato, the hacker, tigersushi records3 Comments

Veteran of the fist-pumping kind of electro inhabited by Miss Kittin and I-F, it’s not so often you see a new release from The Hacker these days. Still, he’s made it back to deliver three Italo-flavoured nuggets on Tigersushi in the style of romantic 80s arpeggios and fat synths he made his name on. “Through The Ether” is unashamedly cosmic in its tone, boasting elegiac reams of melody over those steadily pulsing bass notes. A rasping snare gives “Mind Games” a marginally tougher edge, but really this is sweet songwriting for swooning swingers on the dancefloor.

Falling is the second full release on the excellent Voyeurhythm imprint from Megadon Betamax aka Mostyn. The mid tempo poise of “Falling” is perfectly embellished by intricate rib tickling synth work, perma floating vocals and is further charmed by a dash of surf guitar! Former Tresor resident and current Auckland dweller DJ Raw Sugar turns the track inside out for a nicely dubbed beatdown rendition on the flip whilst the previously released Betamax jam “He Can’t Love You” gets a reworking from the rising talent LeSale.

After 25 years Bordello A Parigi offers you these mid-80’s italo-disco-bangers on vinyl again. Three old killer releases transformed in one reissue. The three course menu contains the two 1985 hard hittin’ D. Carred obscurities and continues with this spicey hidden gem ‘I’ll Go Where I Like To Go’ from Rambles, which was D. Carred’s first production on vinyl in 1984. On top of this sunny mountain of an Italian pie you’ll get two extra remixes of ‘You’ll Be A Winner’ by the Danish crème de la crème of italo: Flemming Dalum and Mike Salta. Comes with beautiful picture cover and illustrated inner sleeves.

Crackboy – Back To The Future [CRACKBOY001]

Crackboy sticks two fingers up to the chin-stroking shoe-gazing deep house heads and drags us to the middle of the peak-time dancefloor with this Prince / Sueno Latino-sampling bootie! “Back To The Future”, aka “The Future” by Prince, gets a rocking house revamp on side A, one that will be sure to have everyone in a sweat. “Ebeneezer Knight” might have you worrying that the Shaman would be involved somewhere along the line, but actually this is a fattened up version of late 80s Manuel Gottsching-sampling Italo house classic “Sueno Latino” by Sueno Latino. Simple, effective music – nothing fussy, nothing over-worked, just tailor-made for dancing.
