Boomkat product review for:
various / spatial disco – Spatial Disco 2
We missed out on the first volume, but we’re certainly not making the same mistake with ‘Spatial Disco 2’! It’s the second in a series of library records compiled by the Austrian Electunes label and entirely drawn from the legendary Tele Music catalogue, this time focusing on the electronic productions of Saveur Mallia between 1981 and 1984, most specifically the ‘Cosmosynthetic’, ‘Percussions Modernes’ and ‘Automation’ albums. The styles rove between early Art Of Noise or Arthur Baker alike electro on ‘Smurfissimo’ to Robotnick-esque jaunts such as ‘New Wave Sequence’ and urgently uptempo breakdancers like ‘Robot Scratch’. Our favourites have to be the Italo propulsion of ‘Macadam Locomotion’ and the atmospheric bassline arpeggios of ‘Rectangle Astral’. A must for anyone who got a kick out of the Tangerine Traume compilation or fans of Riechmann, John Carpenter etc.

Apiento & Co – She Walks [LENG004]
Apiento & Co follow up their 7” for Claremont 56 with a new 12” for Leng. This again has lush, mellow ibizian mood about it but could work wonders on the dancefloor late at night. The slow arpegiated groove leads us into a hooky piano with the strings and then a lovely piano solo drifts along and completes the package. Pete Herbert turns it round and aims straight for the dancefloor in true disco Herbert style.
Mike Simonetti – That Look In Your Eye [PERSEO01]
Mike Simonetti takes an edit to three very obscure 90s house tracks. A track was modified for better club use… extended so it builds, builds and builds… The two tracks on the b-side sound like 90’s Japanese piano house and a happy house rave track flipped on 33.
Sic! – Sic! [MEA004.1]
Meakusma broadens its label profile with another brave and free-spirited release. [sic!] is a modern disco band with members Jules Etienne, Alessandro Tartari and producer and DJ Massimiliano Pagliara. They all share a passion for warm synth sounds, poignant melodies and groovy structures. Far beyond typical or retro-kitsch, [sic!] have composed 4 wonderful disco songs full of summer, with timelessness firmly stamped on them.
Stefano e Bene – Why Your Love [CODIS001]
Stefano e Bene with their own definition of the Italo Disco sound. Remixes by the jackers from Snuff Crew, Hard Ton himself and Katzbatz.
Coyote – Moving / Second [IFEEL06]
Sensual, tripped out vocals from Nesreen Shah and a monstrous remix from New Yorkers Still Going, the B Side is Coyote’s remix of International Peoples Gang’s ‘Second’,…a clear nu-balearic classic!
Justin Vandervolgen – Clapping Song / Sheebooyah [CHANNEL010]
Golf Channel’s leading light and producer / engineer extraordinaire Justin Vandervolgen strikes again! For the label’s tenth release Justin hits us with a wicked double header.

Harry Thumann – Andromeda [HANSA260320]
Reissue of the hard to find original Hansa International pressing of Harry Thumann’s 1983 cosmic classic ‘Andromeda’. Packed with killer disco and cosmic tunes, this mind-blowing album features some of the most advanced synth and electronic sounds out there. A fave of DJ Harvey and Daniel Wang, this includes some real dance floor bombs and of course, that wicked Sphinx vocoder track.
VA – Voyeurhythm EP 2 [VR003]
Part 3 in the amazing Voyeurhythm series… Two more spaced-out slowmo summer house/discojams by Benjamin Sun and Monte Carlo Interchange with even bigger basslines than the previous ones…
A + O – You Ain’t Jack [STILOVE026]
Stilove4music number 26 is here with two producers Andee Frost and Oohee. Sample based disco injected house house tracks on the reliable Stilove4music!
Cosmic Revenge – Cold Hearted EP [ELIM003]
Cosmic Revenge presents his second EP, a four tracker for Fortified Audio. Opener ‘Hurricane Blues’ comes off like Ikonika’s ‘Fish’ with a more defined IDM debt, while ‘Mutations’ follows with a clean and melodic garage breaks groove. ‘Cold Hearted’ is the best thing here, running an Altered Natives style drum entanglement with jazzy chords to match before ‘Late Nights’ jams on a halfstepped Gangsta boogie flex.
Ajello – Acrostico [DEDISC004]
Unusual fretless bassline, almost jazz territory with live sounded drum and hypnotic synth though it still holds the funkiness all the way through. Funky cutting guitar – tropical feeling? These disco sound effects and bass keep the groove till the background noise breakdown come in, wait for the main chorus riff! Percussive intro, white noise effects, funky guitar riff – Perfect for the summery season to come!
OOFT – Ride In To The Red Zone [FOTO001]
Ooft is the joint effort of The Revenge and Ali Herron. With ‘Ride In To The Red Zone’ they lay down a bed of heavyweight slowhouse kicks before dropping a scorching male vocal, while ‘Spanky Spanky’ aligns itself with the sort of drag-house grooves.

Ooft is the joint effort of The Revenge (aka Glasgow’s prolific Graeme Clark) and Ali Herron. With ‘Ride In To The Red Zone’ they lay down a bed of heavyweight slowhouse kicks before dropping a scorching male vocal, while ‘Spanky Spanky’ aligns itself with the sort of drag-house grooves spun out by Mark E and co.
