Great Track, shared@ http://Summertriiangle.blogspot.com

Futureboogie open their 2015 account with this killer slab of sophisticated twisted disco from Lonely Boy, AKA Joshua Heath.  The Californian producer has a track record for finely crafted house music on labels like Miguel Migs’ Salted Music and the Inland Knights’ Drop Music.  His Lonely Boy moniker has yielded music for Culprit and Winding Road, and this FBR release comes backed with an epic remix from The Emperor Machine.

An ode to a love affair with the original vintage disco sounds, with its sophisticated bass and clean drums echoing shades of classic Prelude tunes of yesteryear, ‘I Like Disco’ is a spot on nod to the authentic sound that seemingly will never be out of fashion.  Its simple male rephrase reminds us just what we’re dealing with here, as the soft keys play call and response with that funky bass riff, and thick, rising pads create the drama.

The Emperor Machine rocks up on the remix, fresh from a period of intense activity, including albums for Southern Fired and the now defunct D.C. Recordings.  The former Bizarre Inc. and Chicken Lips has also been busy remixing the likes of Booka Shade, Erol Alkan and Daft Punk, so a real scoop to get him on Futureboogie.

Weighing in at over 10 minutes, the good Emperor builds a dub-tastic version, stretching out the good groove and bringing it back to the basics.  A playful remix with brain scrambling metallic flanging, stuttering bass, electro-funk synths and heaps of dubby delays, a monster of a remix!

‘The Subtle Frenzy’ continues the quality vibes with an arpeggio synth that works it way around your brain and moody pads and wonky keys that build the atmosphere a treat.  A monster electro-funk workout with a heavyweight growling bassline that continually pushes the track into a ‘subtle frenzy’.

Digital bonus track, ‘Take Your Time’ slows down the pace with an orgy of synthesizers and chugging beats, a perfect wind down/sunset/sunrise (circle where appropriate) moment!   A class cut that shows the versatility of Lonely Boy’s productions…
