Hidden Dancefloors

The Hardest Step Is Always First

Till Dawn

For the latest addition to the Sinchi Edits series, Parisian crew @Disco-Bagarre tackle a lesser known track: "J’ai chaud" ("I am hot"), a french electro-disco song from the singer Sonia released in 1982. As a complete rework of the original, from the production to the vocal, this version slows the pace down, going from disco to dark disco with an ever-present touch of acid.

Sampled and pitched in a short loop with reminiscences of the 2000s, the aerial chords of First Time become strangely heady under Valerj's guidance. Carried by this almost exhilarating loop, our auditory contemplation accelerates when the kicks arrive. Our head bobs to the beat of this driving bass, topped by its metallic shaker. The chopped and glitched vocal overlays itself and becomes more and more distorted as the rest of the percussion joins in the dance. The energy of the track builds up in successive bursts. It takes time to build up gently, until the arrival of these angelic synthetic arpeggios, which complete our immersion in the trance. Like a rain of stars, they accompany us towards the end of this dream where only a heady sample remains, with the false air of a scratched CD

First Time (Valerj Remix)

Joe Lewandowski - First Time (Valerj Remix)

"Your Friend" is a debut single and EP by Thanksmate, a duo from Naples being together for 11 years and founders of cult party Soul Express. Thanks to "It's a Pleasure" they have finally found space to give birth to a record son of a continuous research and constant work in night life. ‘Your Friend’ is a time travel that gathers and releases the whole essence of Thanksmate. From early 2000 cult vocals passing through "European" sounds made of essential dreamy synth drums. A full set of sound combinations that immediately refer to the rave scene. A tribute to a not-too-distant time that has rediscovered today its primordial charm, love for the track and passion for the bass drum.

All tracks Written and Produced by Fabio Agostini and Marco Palomba aka Thanksmate. 
Mixed by Raffaele "Whodamanny" Arcella. 
Recorded at Limewalk Studios, Napoli. 
Mastering by LOPAZZ.

The release opens with the titular ‘Proto Call’. A thoroughly diverse track ‘Proto Call’ melds disco percussion with elements of vintage Italian house, squelching acid and progressive all whilst chugging along with propose, a key feature of many efforts in Life And Death’s back catalog.

Real Velour's debut EP on Blaq Numbers comes to us from an unknown source in the early eighties. Its playful melodies and disco drum machines could be from mainland Europe, it's strange synth textures could be Japanese whilst its sardonic vocals could be from a post-industrial town in Thatcher's Britain; we just don't know.

What we do know is that in spite of its retro sound pallete, each track sounds fresh on any 21st century dancefloor. There is something indefinably new about these tracks; similar perhaps to the indefinable "Britishness" of 10cc in spite of their American accents and West Coast influences or the way Billy Childish somehow managed to make rock n roll sound alive again without changing it in any observable way.

Simply put: these are yesterday's sounds, tomorrow.

And who better to hold Real Velour's hand as he tries to navigate this strange retro-future than his two favourite sexy disco daddies, Donald Dust and Panthera Krause? Donald Dust's remagining of the title track on Spaceship In Tokyo puts us in New York territory, rendering it less angular, less Teutonic. There are shades of LCD Soundsystem, the Peech Boys and other artists from the Mutant Disco/No Wave scene whilst Panthera Krause's wild reinterpretation of the single, People Make Me Wanna Scream, is a fruity cocktail of freaky contradictions. Metallic and industrial rhythms blend perfectly with haunting synth pop textures. Panthera Krause finds the ghost in the machine and makes it dance!

The whole EP throbs with uninhibited glee. There is no coyness to be found here toward those genres that sometimes find themselves locked outside the fortress of "serious" dance music. While some techno bros gingerly dabble with Italo, Hi-NRG or J-Pop textures in some restrained, tasteful way as if to say "I like it... but I'm straight!", Real Velour jumps in with both feet.

This music is elegant without being aloof, playful without being ephemeral and it never abandons its primary objective - to make you dance!

PREMIERE : Real Velour - Spaceship In Tokyo (Donald Dust Remix)

La Compagnie créole : né en 75, ce groupe mythique pour tous les francophones est passé à la postérité en multipliant les tubes au gré de ses 23 albums, mélangeant musiques antillaise, guyanaise et airs populaires de métropole.

Parmi tous ces standards qui font danser dans tous les bals de France, il en est un qui se démarque : A.I.E. Ecrit par Daniel Vangarde en 1987, ses paroles créoles et sa mélodie ont conquis immédiatement toute la francophonie, puis le reste de l’Europe et l’Amérique du Nord.

C’est là, dès 1988, qu’un dj new-yorkais, un certain Larry Levan, produit un remix de ce morceau pour la bande sonore du film Sweet lies. Un remix non commercialisé, resté quasiment inconnu jusqu’ici. Pardonnez-nous, mais le voici.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

La Compagnie créole : born in 1975, this mythical band known by all the francophones will be remembered by future generations, thanks to all those super hits spread over the course of 23 albums, mixing music from the Antilles, Guyane and popular tunes from the French metropole.

Amongst all those classics, making people dance in all the french ballrooms, one stands out: A.I.E written by Daniel Vangarde in 1987, his Creole lyrics and melodies have won over the entire francophone diaspora, as well as the rest of Europe and North America.

From then on, in 1988, a NY DJ, known by the name of Larry Levan, produced a remix of this track for the sound track of the film Sweet Lies. A mix not released, which remained relatively unknown up to this point. «Pardonnez-nous», but here it is.
