Don't Send Me Away

Garfield Fleming - Don't Send Me Away

Punkin Machine's "I Need You Tonight”, originally released in 1981, is another typical example of an underground hit, played at many a flat party these days like an obvious, bona-fide early 80s discopop hit when it was actually quite obscure until James Murphy unearthed it on his FabricLive Mix in 2007. Produced by Jerry Cucuzzella, the track is a feel good bumping disco track, with punchy bass, spanky guitars and sassy vocals that make for an uplifting and energetic listen - a nice throwback to the heyday of Montreal disco

FABRIKATED FANTASIES // 001

A re-release of the Montreal disco classics from MTL Express, led by famed With Italian-Canadian songwriters/producers Joe La Greca and George Cucuzzella.  The songs are indicative of a diverse Montreal music scene, heavily influenced by disco at the time (1978). The track is packed with bass, brass and vibrant backing vocals. This single is a time-machine, bringing you back to the birth of the disco scene in Montreal, reminiscent of the city’s own Lime Light and Le Jardin.

'Montreal's very own Fabrikate are set to release their disco infused "Made Me Feel" album this fall out on Kookoo Records, taking a trip back in time to the 70s where platform shoes, elaborate outfits, glitter and that four-to-the-floor sound dominated night clubs all over North America. The duo have curated their interpretation of what disco means to them, by merging their house music and disco influences into what feels to be their own unique powerful sound. Having both grown up in musical households with parents who immersed them into disco music, it naturally became their calling to reimagine the nostalgic sounds of the soundtracks of their childhoods into Avantgarde dance music. 

'Love Was Real' will be the first single off the album out on November 1! We now present to you Fabrikate's 'Made Me Feel' album - which brings all the elements of funk, soul and house music together.  

Kicking off the album is 'It's Coming Down' with its eccentric disco intro, which drops into a heavy baseline ready to permeate the dance floor, 'Into The Ground'  is a booty shaker with its hard hitting bass and intricate tech-house elements, 'Love Was Real' shouts all things 70s with its high energy, trumpets, and luscious orchestral arrangements, 'On and On' executes with its high-hats and a strong escapist vocalist on the record, 'Flame' has all the retro attributes of the disco days with groovy funky reverb vocals...
 
"Maybe it was because I wasn't John Travolta on the dance floor myself, but I found that I enjoyed making people dance. Mixing disco records my father gave me was always a challenge. It was also a major eye-opener on how well-produced music from that era was." - Francis 
 
'All Up To Love' is hypnotic and infused with love and vibes, 'Dutch' drops samples from Missy Elliot's 'Gossip Folks' with its housey vibes, 'New York City Man' screams Studio 54, glitter, glam and fabulousness, 'Are Your Ready For Me' has a sultry sound to it with a seductive, lustful story intertwined into the vocals... 'Feelings' - expect psychedelic rhythms and syncopated baselines wrapping up the 'Made Me Feel' album...'
