Returning to Exploited for another bite of the cherry, Italian duo gizA djs are back.
‘Something Cool’ blends elements of indie dance and nu disco in its loose, warm
feel, with a dash of Italo disco attitude to boot. ‘80s synth pulses set the tone over
live percussion and subtle bass, before a sultry male vocal adds more retro feel to
the proceedings. Classic disco hi-hats drop in as the vocal switches from English to
seductive Italian and big synth chords filter into focus. A sweet arpeggiated lead line
thrusts into play as a Daft Punk-esque electric bassline funks away below. An
unexpectedly wonky breakdown builds tension, setting us up for a colourful finale
where the key elements morph and modulate in a beautiful fusion.
‘Rogue One’ is more of a brooding, atmospheric house affair, but one that comes
with dashes of funk. Tribal percussion intersperses a turgid bass groove as mystical
trumpet loops tease in and out of the mix. A discofied guitar lick bolsters an
infectious, mysterious plucked melody, and imperceptibly the track builds intensity to
a crescendo with eerie pads, heady reverbs, ride cymbals, urgent vocal chants and
judicious use of FX.
