Rocket Radio "Espresso" curated by Slow Fire Disco Machine

Next Expresso stop is on the tropical shores of  @desert-island-disco , a Selector/Producer collective based out of London and Barcelona, with a thirst for unearthing groove-laden digs from across the world. Though Disco in a name, their sound covers a broad church that moves between and beyond the likes of African Bubblegum, Brazilian Soca, European Synthpop, and UK Street Soul. 


In addition to producing original tracks and dancefloor-friendly edits, DID host the “Islander Cast” guest mix series, which brings together artists from across the globe to share the rare, exotic and undiscovered side of their record collections. Drawing from this mantra, the guys deliver us a zesty cocktail of trans-continental heat to usher in the warm shoots of spring…
