Sounds like the early house sound on African releases from French labels in the late 80s... Afrotastic discoteque

This record is a classic in the making! Getting heavy play here in Brooklyn. THANK YOU

Just discovered this - quality all round!

'Harmona' is the first single from Ichisan’s fourth studio album.

It comes with two remixes by Dan Tyler of Idjut Boys and a brand new video created by illustrator Meta Wraber and director Anna Boberg, who has worked with the likes of The Chemical Brothers.

By now, Ichisan is a well-known talent in the world of disco house. The Slovenian is a skilled guitarist and brings his musicality to bear in all his tunes. He counts the likes of Prins Thomas and Pete Herbert as fans and has released numerous EPs and LPs on labels like Nang, Bordello A Parigi and Eskimo.

The fantastic 'Harmona' is a Balearic disco jam with a filtered Moog-style melody, a funky synth bassline and lush flanger-strings. It overflows with colour and charm and is the sort of dance floor dynamite that always takes things to the next level. Remixer Dan Tyler of Idjut Boys is well known for cooking up left of centre and dubbed out house with plenty of disco influences. Firstly, he adds his wonky tape delay and signature flange over the main theme to take it in a new direction. He also offers an Acid Casualty mix that is more gnarly and perfect for darker dance floors.
The accompanying video sees the watercolour paintings of Meta Wraber brought to life by Anna Boberg. Meta is Ichisan’s partner, and a successful illustrator. Anna is a wizard with after-effects and a notable animator - a dream team for this blissful track!
The irresistible 'Harmona' is a great taster of the full length to come.

Faze Action return with a brand new 12", teaming up with Zimbabwean born Zeke Manyika to create "Mangwana". Sung in Zeke's native Shona, and taking influences from Mory Kante, South African Kwaito to early house, Faze Action manage to create a record that harks back yet still has a modern and contemporary feel and is set to be the soundtrack to countless festivals and outdoor parties this summer.

The title track is followed by the stunning "Chiiko”, featuring Zeke’s vocals enriched by Rob’s ‘cello’s with African rhythms floating you away to another tropical world.

A Vision of Panorama turns up the dial with a stunning mix on the flip side. A new bass line adds to some quality keyboard work.

Finally the brothers deliver are more stripped out dub "Paradise ‘89 Mix" tailored for the peak time.

Out February 20th, the Akasha EP consists of two journeys into the vast human experiment; interactions both subtle and intimate, yet grand and profound. From the ashes of lost love to the redemption of a new journey, the LOP crew uses a palette of bold colors to paint these tales. Drawing upon imagery from the stars, tarot, symbology and their many adventures on road, they decode the mysterious exchanges and vibrations of the universe.

Akasha refers to the Akashic record, an etheric database of yore encompassing all human experience. When one accesses the record, they may see events with another's eyes throughout history. Turn up your speakers and ride through different dimensions of culture and experience. Explore the spectrum of sensation as Phill and Patrick shift between contrasting and fleeting moods.

BOF44 - Life on Planets - Surface Creature (Chicago Love Mix)

Paper favourite, Captain Daco has been busy in his Spanish tax haven twiddling knobs and busting beats and what twiddles and beats they are!

The Uprise is another take on the arp of I Feel Love but it's never been done so well. The familiar bass provides the backbone before it comes in at a gallop of swirling synths, rock solid kick and a call for nothing less than revolution. It's been crushing Paper dancefloors and always achieves total mayhem.

The Galáctica Mix has all the same ingredients but takes a deeper disco route with drops and an arrangement that keeps the floor chomping at the bit.

Faith takes a different direction and it's super deep house that is trippy and soulful in equal measures. Mikey Raphael provides the vocal and it's hairs on the back of your neck time.

Sean Johnston (ALFOS) - "Most satisfactory!"

Fingerman - "Devastating"

En parfaits ambassadeurs d’une sono mondiale et moderne, le duo, Amadou & Mariam n’a jamais cessé de confronter sa musique à d’autres univers comme la pop ou l’électro et on ne compte plus les sorciers des dancefloors (Yuksek, Vitalic, Henrik Schwarz, Fatima Yamaha ou Voilaaa) qui ont transporté l’univers d’Amadou et Mariam sous la boule à facettes. 
Le morceau « Filaou Bessame », sorte de blues moderne qui plonge dans les rythmes maliens, passe désormais entre les mains expertes de Cerrone, le roi de la disco pailleté et énergique. 
Sa formule magique et dansante tout en rythmes irrésistibles et cuivres chaleureux, embarque le morceau vers des horizons disco qu’on ne lui soupçonnait pas et transforme le track original en une petite bombe hédoniste parfaite pour se déhancher avec style sur le dancefloor.

Junodownload review:

Given how many re-edit releases he's had over the last few years, you have to wonder whether Rayko will soon run out of fresh scalpel material. Thankfully, he's not reached the 'barrel-scraping' stage, as this breezy two-tracker proves. "Enjoy Your Life" is the epitome of summery disco-soul, all shuffling beats, addictive vocals, darting strings and wiggly funk guitars; it's the sort of thing that should be booming out of a boat party soundsystem somewhere in the Adriatic. "Emotion", meanwhile, sees Rayki return to his love of electrofunk drums, turning a synth bass-laden disco jam into a touchy-feely instrumental delight.

Phonk D is back on Exploited’s hallowed Black Jukebox series following the success of his #29 takeover earlier this year. You just can’t keep a good man down...

‘Let’s Shake’ leads the way with serious funk intent, mixing a thumping MJ-esque bassline with some of that late ‘70s / early ‘80s synth magic. Phasing guitar licks sidle up against spunky horn swells and sassy vocal blasts. It’s a track that has ‘party-starter’ written all over it.

‘Reality Dance’ is a chuggier beast, building slowly through looping guitar-and-bass plucks until a feel-good melody emerges. This low-slung, low-tempo groove is in no hurry to lay out its funky machinations, making for a perfect early-evening floor-filler as cocktail glasses clink and glitterballs bling.

‘Players Anthem’ chunks things up with conga-inflected groove and an arpeggiated bassline throb underpinning swooning female vocal harmonies. It rocks a simple arrangement that lets the groove do the talking, with sustained string notes adding an element of tension at the requisite moments.

‘No Limits’ sees Phonk D team up with old sparring partner Sascha Ciminiera for another hot collab. The bouncing off-beat groove pumps pleasingly in classic disco fashion, with a joyous mood built through Rhodesy chords and a scintillating synth line. Swelling horns are buried deep in the mix in the second half to help propel the track higher.

Phonk D - Reality Dance I Exploited

Brothers Simon & Robin Lee are Faze Action. They have been writing, producing, playing live and DJing for over 20 years and have released 5 critically acclaimed artist LPs and countless remixes, making them one of the most credible and in demand original artists within the growing Disco, House and Balearic scene.
 
Their early successes, included “In the Trees” that features Robin’s classical ‘cello, and “Disco Motion”, became instant classics on the Nuphonic label and changed the musical landscape at the time, paving the way for the Disco revival of today.

The brothers started their musical journey growing up in Amersham in the suburbs of London. With its close proximity to the capital city, Simon & Robin soon found themselves becoming obsessed with Disco, Jazz Funk and early House music. Robin, who was already learning the ‘cello and piano’, says.

 “Simon would bring home records, like Johnny Hammond’s Fantasy, and ask me to play along. We had never heard music like this and we felt we were discovering something new. It was intoxicating”.

By the mid 90’s Simon was DJing and working in a record shop and Robin was playing live regularly in classical concerts and bands. They decided to make their first record, entitled “Original Disco Motion”, a contemporary slice of modern disco, which was sampled by Moodyman, released on the legendary Nuphonic label. 

The track became an instant underground classic, garnering support from Francois K and Frankie Knuckles. This set them up for the next release; “In The Trees”, which went on to become recognised as one of the UK’s classic house records, linking Faze Action to the birth of House and Disco in the UK.

Through the 90’s, 00’s and up to the present day, Faze Action have released an impressive amount of credible original music, including their stunning Afro, Disco, House track, “Kariba” with Zimbabwean artist Zeke Manyika and ”Samba", with Nina Miranda, from their “Moving Cities” LP. 

In 2006 they set up their own label (FAR) and released the classic Space Disco LP "Stratus Energy”, which included “Good Lovin’” and “I Wanna Dancer”, that received support from Horse Meat Disco, Joey Negro and Dimitri from Paris. 

With their 2014 LP; “Body of One”, Faze Action proved they could reach a wider audience when the single “Time By Your Side” reached over a million plays on Spotify. 

Recent releases on their FAR imprint have included the highly sort after “Mangwana” featuring Zeke Manyika, “Vamos Pintar” with Nina Miranda plus the underground Disco hit “Get Up & Dance" by Andromeda Orchestra and more recently Rudy’s Midnight Machine’s shimmering Balearic classic “Midnight Safari”.



Not content with writing and producing new music, Simon and Robin are in demand as DJs and have criss crossed the globe playing at festivals and clubs with their trademark sets joining the dots between Disco, Afro, Balearic and beyond. They are also avid record collectors stating that 

“It’s a constant source of inspiration for writing and our DJ sets”

 This has culminated in a number of compilations including the up and coming “Under the Influence Vol. 7” for Joey Negro’s Z records, set for release in May 0f 2018.


Faze Action are one of the few acts, in the modern disco world, who write and create original music. Faze Action have said in the past that 

“You can’t beat the feeling when you have created something new and you see it connect with a crowd that you are DJing to.”

Their music has also been featured in adverts and films for the likes of Chanel and on HBO.

One of Faze Action’s strong points is their live show, which again has seen them connect with audiences on every continent including Glastonbury and US tour support for Groove Armada.
