Drumthriver

It's always a time for celebration when there's a release from Captain David Connolly who is now one of Paper's longest-serving artists, having been part of the label's digital relaunch in 2010.

Durant is up there with the likes of Floating Points with its fusion of jazz, classical and soundtrack plus a nod to Steve Reich. Stripped backbeats, hypnotic looped arpeggiated piano, minimal strings and arps make this a standout house track that is difficult to put in a category. Brilliant will just have to do.

Support Programme goes chuggy cosmic disco with sparkling analogue synths. The track twists and turns as distorted voices add to the trippiness. Equally at home in Berlin or on a Croatian beach, it's dance music for those who know.

The Alt Mix ramps up the arpeggiators on a techier take for deeper late night floors that is guaranteed to blow minds.

Red Rack 'em: "Both mixes are HEAVY. Will defo be hammering these. Proper good stuff. Right up my street"

Tronik Youth: "Love support programme!"

Anthony Mansfield: "Big beats for weird times!"

Billy Scurry: "BIG Daco fan, always sublime production, and this is just that.Alt mix is huge, without being 'big'. Savage!"

!!! This is a stripped-down 160mp3 snippet of the original track !!!

Artist:  Arno E. Mathieu
Release:  Contemplation II – Colline (incl. remixes by Mark E, Next Evidence)
 Catalog No:  CPT 590-3 
Format: digital

Tracklisting:

1. Colline (Original) (6:07)
2. Colline (Mark E Remix) (5:46)
3. Colline Au Zenith (Next Evidence Vocal) (6:10)
4. Colline Au Zenith (Next Evidence Dub) (6:10)

Following the first EP of his new CONTEMPLATION project, Arno E. Mathieu delivers here a real Mediterranean French boogie tune. Dedicated to the landscape of his hometown in Provence, the track has been thought as a walk in the hills, but with a typical and local gypsy funky twist that brings a true balearic mood. 

After the bass line, latin guitar and funky drums opening, chords and melodies come quickly to introduce all the fresh vocal modulations of the Marseille native singer, Zula. Her performance sounds like she is showing us a small path in the hills, taking our hand for a walk under the sun of summer, and whispering us the warmest words about almond trees and thyme bushes parfums.

Mark E takes the most electronic side of the original for a dope deep and hypnotic reinterpretation, evolving in sobriety with super elegant strings over driving drum and guitar gimmicks, keeping the essence of the original but with a housey touch.  

For the second remix, Arno wanted to ask his old friends, the duo Next Evidence, to team-up once again, 20 years after their timeless and classic album «Thrills», to revisit «Colline»…

It is maybe the best feeling Arno had about a comeback of Next Evidence, as the result is an ultra energic funky jam, full of great music references, but with a real personal touch, delivering a dope dancefloor killer for funk and disco addicts.

Destined for the sunset crew, for the hip shaking, for the gym, for those, who are open-minded about disco anyways, for more parties, last but not least for salvation. 

The Vol. 2 package contains five brand new, unreleased, exclusive tracks, coupled with four best of Compost Disco catalogue tracks. All 15 new tracks will be on 2xLP out in April 2022.

The variety range across the floor from boogie, italo, new wave, classic soulful, balearic, neo-disco, housey, downbeat, fusion, garage, to tech-disco. Tasty, hypnotizing and emotional. 

A big shout-out, respect and thanks goes to Benjamin Röder, who does all the fantastic artwork for the 25 Compost Disco releases. Well, more to come soon...
