NuDisco

Released on 12" Vinyl & Digital Download

After an idyllic summer spent playing on beaches and under the stars the Retrospective camp return with Back top the 80’s Vol.1, the first official release from rising star of the edit-scene, and Warrington’s finest, 80′s Child aka Danny Worrall.

Raised by his parents on a strict diet of Toto, Prince, Michael McDonald, Hall & Oates, Michael Jackson and the like, Danny returned to those formative sounds having lost interest in the mainstream house sound in the early ‘00s.

Inspired by the productions of fellow dusty fingered archivists such as Greg Wilson, Late Nite Tuff Guy, Get Down Edits, Tiger & Woods, 78 Edits and of course Retrospective’s own Ruben & Ra, Danny’s edits have grown wilder as he’s experimented, extended and completely re-worked into some of the hottest club edits around over the past 12 months.

Having established himself on the nu-disco & edit scene, and supplied one of the standout tracks for Yam Who?’s recent Midnight Riot album, Retrospective are proud to release his first official solo release, the 4 track Back top the 80’s Vol.1 EP, a record that, as the name suggests, displays an unmistakable love for that decades brand of disco and boogie.

To be released on 12” vinyl and as two digital singles, Danny takes 4 original boogie joints and delivers them the definitive 80’s Child work-over, giving a new lease of life to both some much loved classics and some hard to find gems.

Killer dancefloor business from Tru Thoughts that should appeal to fans of house, broken beat and Brazilan jazz funk legends Azymuth.

The lead-single from France via Brussels, Nicolas Morant (Nikitch) and Eduoard Gilbert (Kuna Maze), collaborative album 'Debuts' (out 3rd July). "Hey, This Must Be Deep" meshes broken beat with Brazillian funk and is a homage to the words spoken by Gil Scott-Heron at his legendary one-man shows.

Release info

Débuts’ (out 3rd July) is France-via-Brussels duo, Nikitch & Kuna Maze’s aka Nicolas Morant & Edouard Gilbert’s first full-length album. Building on their collaborative EP “Mush”, ‘Débuts’ continues to explore the melting point between jazz and club culture, interspersed with the signature sounds of broken beat, Chicago footwork, UK garage, Detroit house, and underpinned by their road-tested new live format. 

‘Débuts’ is fronted by lead-single “Hey, This Must Be Deep” (out 23rd April), a track that evolves from a string-synth soundscape intro into a bruk swung-groove, with a firm nod towards Brazilian jazz/funk. The title of the single is a homage to the words spoken by jazz-poet Gil Scott-Heron at one of his legendary one-man shows.

The collaboration project between musician Nicolas Morant aka Nikitch and Brussels-based producer Edouard Gilbert aka Kuna Maze began when the duo met at the Chambery Jazz Conservatory in France. Before attending university to study jazz, both artists had trained in classical music while growing up in the Lyon countryside. 

‘Débuts’ see’s the band push their musical and creative development even further, a result of touring extensively around Europe with a live drummer, from high-brow jazz festivals to sweaty basement clubs. “We would be lying if we said our gig experience didn’t influence us on this record” Edouard explains. “We discovered new aspects to songs such as “Bruk” and managed to push forward the energy side of the music from the rawness of the live shows. This energy empowered to produce and compose new material in the same vein”.

Featuring standout tracks from their EP “Mush”, such as the vibrant jazz-funk explosion “ZBRA”, broken beat revivalist anthem “Bruk”, downtempo and spoken words snippets of “JPS”, the frantic footwork and juke influences in “The Leak”, and soul-saturated “CBD”, it’s perhaps the newer material where the band begins to move beyond some of the aesthetical frontiers that they had in their creative path. 

“We sung on “Francis’ Theme” which is something we would have completely not dared to do before” explains Edouard. The risk pays off. Tracks such as “46 Rue Du Fort” and “Monopoli Driver” tie the feelings of shared experiences at geographical locations to the music itself. A frantic taxi driver in the Italian village of Monopoli is cemented into the footwork frenzy of “Monopoli Driver’, “46 Rue Du Fort” is address of the rehearsal space in Brussels, and “Francis’ Theme” is simply a soundtrack dedicated to Edouard and Nicolas, the Francis’ boys – a nickname given to the duo by their drummer. 

Musically influenced by the likes of Theo Parrish’s Signature Sound imprint, Moodymann, Idris Muhamad and International Anthem’s signee Resavoir, the duo take inspiration in the creative process of producers such as Max Graef and Glenn Astro. Nikitch & Kuna Maze channel their instrumental skills to create compositions using their common chemistry; blurring the lines between improvisation, production and the art of DJing. All these aspects become the creative DNA for the duo and become a catalyst in the music itself. “It is the approach to the craft” Nicolas says.

Hi, i'm a Dj/Producer starting this magnificent journey. 
I love electronic music and love making tracks/mixes so the people enjoy them.

What is there to be said about Ruben & Ra except these two have been lovers of boogie, disco & funk and have been keen record store diggers for too many years to count. With edits, reworks & original productions coming out of their ears, Ruben & Ra have decided to set up the Retrospective label as an output for their tracks.
