Live at Monarch - Help From The Disco Mix

Welcoming our latest guests to the Leisure Club Mixtape series, our long-time favourite funk-folks Video Age from the land of po-boys, jazz clubs and the melting pot of cultures, New Orleans.

Playing music together for the last decade and longtime friends from their early years coming up in the DIY scene, Ross Farbe (vocals/guitar) and Ray Micarelli (drums) began the project with their debut album in 2016 and have been crafting their signature early 80's synth-pop sound with experimentation and collaboration playing an important role in their magic-making recording process. 

Since catching our attention with their second full-length album Pop Therapy back in 2018, it's safe to say we're delighted to have them join us for a quick mixtape after regular inclusions in our Poolside Etiquette playlist over the years. 

We caught up with the dynamic duo on the blog to chat about life, being back on the road and emerging bands to keep an eye on. Stream the mixtape via our SoundCloud and peep the full interview below. 

Thanks for being Cools.

INTERVIEW + TRACKLIST

Leisure Club Mixtape 008 • Video Age

I've teamed up with OTIS Eyewear again, to build you a mixtape for your summer days and nights. Coming in just shy of 4 hours, the MODERN THEORY mix is full of everything from downtempo poolside jams, old school classics and deep sexy basslines. Put it on at the start of your night and feel your limbs start grooving!

This was a very fun high energy groovy set with lots of fun nudisco tunes mixed with old school 90s San Francisco House sound!

Cools Records is a lifestyle fuelled by a drug we call music. 

The last three years has seen us been inspired by an array of artists, genres and sounds as we’ve penned the Barney Cools narrative. From perching ourselves poolside to the melodies of Sticky Fingers and Fat Freddy’s Drop to closing some of our wildest nights with vintage electronic anthems from Armand Van Helden and Fatboy Slim, it’s safe to safe we’ve developed quite an appetite for music that makes us feel fulfilled.

Whilst genres such as indie-rock and relaxed reggae undeniably pack an abundance of heat, there’s truly nothing that intoxicates us more than the sound of the disco beat. Hence why we’ve secured the services of none other than the German master of funky disco and house, Purple Disco Machine, to do the honours of introducing undoubtedly our friskiest mixtape series to date.

Fresh from the release of his debut album Soulmatic, expect nothing less than a revolving platter of pleasure-inducing records from one of Nu Disco’s most in-form producers and provider of good times. It’s about time we rekindled for a dance – plug in and get toe-tapping.

Feast your eyes on our brand new collection Cools Records online now.
