Dance to the Best of ESG

Moody

This collection of underground dance music covers tracks released between 1975 and 1983 from both sides of the Atlantic. The tracks chosen for this compilation introduce some of the pioneering few who expanded the horizons of disco to incorporate elements of dub, funk, electro, jazz and Latin. In some ways many of the artists featured here foresaw the birth of successive musical genres. There is no disputing that they were all well ahead of their time and with the recent trend of similarly inspired house they sound as fresh today as they did then.

The music chosen for this album were the underground classics that made the scene what it was in the heady of days of the Paradise Garage and the Loft in NYC and the Warehouse in Chicago where DJs such as Arthur Baker and Francois Kervorkian could be heard spinning such tracks.

On disc two (CD version only) Masters at Work add their touches to one of their favourite tracks while Harvey and Underdog take on the Disco Dub band and come up with two very different interpretations which will work on today’s dancefloors. 

Atmosfear - Dancing In Outer Space

Collective of Sound – Le 122 Club Français

Une heure de groove continu, une seule pulsation : 122 BPM.

Avec 122 Club Français, Collective of Sound propose un voyage au cœur de l’esprit French Touch : basses rondes, accords filtrés, grooves hypnotiques et textures élégantes pensées pour le mix.

Conçu comme un véritable set de club, l’album enchaîne 14 titres dans une atmosphère à la fois chic, sensuelle et minimaliste, où les voix deviennent textures et les rythmes racontent la nuit.

Inspiré par l’héritage de la scène électronique française — des premières heures de la French Touch aux clubs contemporains — l’album privilégie la répétition, la chaleur analogique et l’élégance du groove.

Parmi les moments forts : deux relectures disco revisitées dans une esthétique moderne et filtrée.

🎧 À écouter comme un voyage continu.
