PREMIERE: Dave Kurtis - Da Funk [Sundries]

French house mainstay Larry Houl is back aboard The Disco Express, this time collaborating on a new project with fellow Nu-Disco artist Dave Kurtis.

Known for his signature charisma and a voice reminiscent of Jamiroquai's Jay Kay, Parisian Larry Houl has been shaping the scene for nearly a decade. As both a composer and singer, his work spans personal projects and collaborations with top-tier artists like Demuja, Jean Tonique, Oden & Fatzo, and Georges.

Now, he’s back with two electrifying releases alongside Dave Kurtis. Together, they present an original three track EP, amorously named 'Music Is For Lovers'.

When Dave Kurtis (Tropical Disco, Spa In Disco, and Tasty Recordings) crafted a funky groove that needed the perfect vocal touch, the collaboration with Larry Houl was a natural fit. The result? 'Just A Little Bit of You', a track that blends the soulful energy of Jamiroquai with the sleek, futuristic edge of Daft Punk—featuring infectious guitar riffs, a groovy bass line, and captivating vocals.

Kurtis also delivers ‘Stomp,’ a full-throttle disco anthem built to set dance floors ablaze. With a classic off-bassline, irresistible groove, and vintage vibes, it’s a straight-up Studio 54 throwback—an essential for any DJ’s crate.

Originally created in 2012, ‘My Love’ was the second-ever track Larry Houl and his collaborator produced together. Over time, it became a fan favourite, racking up 114K plays on SoundCloud. A serendipitous moment at a wedding party last summer rekindled their love for the track, sparking the idea for an updated, modern version—same soul, fresh perspective.

Featuring Barcelona's Giman & Chic_Ago on the remix of 'Just A Little Bit of You', these tracks reaffirm Larry Houl and Dave Kurtis talented producers in the evolving house and disco scene. Keeping the romance and funk alive while pushing boundaries. Get ready to move—these are grooves you won’t want to miss.

For his second release on the imprint, Panthera combines his cosmic musical power with the incredible voice of singer Go Sonny.

The collaboration between the charismatic Go Sonny and the daring Panthera is an epic sonic journey, where the astral meets the explosive. Go Sonny's captivating voice blends seamlessly with Panthera's futuristic and hypnotic rhythms.

Together, they create an electrifying and cosmic atmosphere, propelling the listener into an intergalactic dance. A true whirlwind of energy and depth. An unforgettable musical odyssey.

Endrik Schroeder once again demonstrates the extent of a perfectly tamed eclecticism, delivering a techno-break remix of rare finesse. Driven by a striking melancholy, this remix infuses the release with an emotional depth that is both poignant and luminous. A future late-night anthem, etched in memories to the rhythm of the first rays of dawn.

BONUS TRACK (ONLY ON BANDCAMP) : As the most beautiful tribute that Panthera could make to Kraftwerk, "Amarea" unfolds a slow and captivating atmosphere, where elements seem to float in a suspended space. Carried by ethereal layers and textured analog synthesis, the track evokes the soundscapes of 70s SCI-FI films, somewhere between cosmic mystery and futuristic melancholy. Perfect music for a contemplative interlude or a gradual build-up at the beginning of the night.

Miss Zagato joins forces with Dog.ma for a journey of sonic awakening. Pineal glands activated, televisions discarded. Their vision rejects the daily matrix, sidestepping systems of control and illusion. The result is a red-pill soundtrack wrapped in evergreen style, equally at home on the dance floor or in deep inner space.

Serbian DJ Caligari, of Lametta Records, delivers a galactic Italo Disco rework. Armonia del Sonido’s emesh contributes a singular, ritualistic remix that guides the listener through the forest of awakening.

Biography:

Ilya Santana is a name that echoes through the shimmering corridors of electronic music, particularly in the realms of space disco and cosmic funk. Born and raised in the Canary Islands, a place where the Atlantic meets the dust of Africa, Santana found himself drawn to the edges of sound early on—edges where melody could float, and rhythm didn’t have to march. He came up through the analog warmth of the ‘70s and the cold seduction of the ‘80s, and somehow fused both into his own kind of future nostalgia.

His career took root in the early 2000s, not through grand gestures but through consistency—a steady stream of releases that wound their way through labels like Balearic stalwarts Eskimo Recordings and Nang. Each track, a kind of ode to neon dreams and late-night drives, became a testament to Santana’s gift for atmosphere: his music doesn’t just play, it inhabits. There’s a cinematic quality to his work, like he’s scoring the movie of a life that’s never quite real but always feels familiar.

Ilya’s sound is less about chart-topping bravado and more about evocation. It lingers. It hums beneath the surface of memory. Through remix work, original compositions, and DJ sets that feel like journeys, Santana has shaped a career that’s both low-key and influential—an underground luminary lighting the way for those who understand that some of the best music doesn’t demand attention, it earns it.

Ilya is running his own record label "Astrolead recordings" specialized on the most underground side of Disco, Space/Cosmic disco, Retro and Synthwave.
Also started duties as a sound designer crafting sample/loops packages for "Loopmasters"
