P.E.A.R. LAB -  'Alpha Centauri'

Pete Baldwin & Martin Grafton reunite for Discoteca 101 part 2. This time the jam session went in a dubby tropical directon (maybe the parrots in Martin's living room played a part ;)

Rifugio Tropicale

Discoteca 101 goes into the third round. Our three hour jam session at Pete's home studio resulted in this vaguely dystopian retro-futuristic Electro groove. Enjoy :)

The Spheres Are Beckoning Me To Come Forth

Welcome to the neon-lit world of Discoteca 101. 
Bathe in the warmth and light of Italo Disco melodies, bold Jarresque synth lines and the drive of classic House & Electro.
Peter Baldwin & Martin Grafton, ( S. A. Fred & Arran Trax respectively) have combined their powers, creating music to tackle the 21st century, with a big nod to the golden era of electronic music. Each D-101 track is the product of the two Hamburg based Brits fusing their perspective on classic dance genres in an exciting and unpredictable jam session.
