After an absence of two years, Leng are very happy to welcome back bass-wielding producer Fernanado Pulichino. The Natural 77 EP sees the experienced Argentine deliver another trio of tracks underpinned by his trademark warm, funk-fuelled basslines.
 
Fernando has packed a lot into his career since debuting with regular production partner Julian Sanza at turn of the millennium. Before the duo decided to go their separate ways, they delivered a string of fine deep house EPs as Cuidad Feliz, a fine debut album for Silver City, and formed part of Ralph Lawson’s touring live act, 20:20 Soundsystem. As a solo artist, Fernando released his debut album on Bear Funk back in 2013, and has more recently dropped singles on Cynic, Tusba and Futureboogie Recordings.
 
Given this vast experience, it’s no surprise to find that his third outing on Leng is an assured and varied affair. Opener “Backwards” sees Fernando strutting his electrofunk stuff, adding hazy guitar solos, spacey electronics and dubbed-out synth riffs to a rolling, boogie-propelled groove.
 
He channels the spirit of West Coast funkateers Steely Dan on title track “Natural 77”, expertly combining a rubbery bass guitar riff with sun-kissed guitar solos, freestyle vocal improvisations and a fluid, bongo-laden drum break. It’s a lazy, low-slung affair, but one guaranteed to incite excitable shuffling out on the dancefloor.
 
Finally, Fernando heads back towards Balearic disco pastures with the rich and evocative “Attic Party”. Delay-laden electric piano stabs, jammed-out bass and flanged, funk-fuelled guitar lines weave in and out of a mix dominated by trippy synthesizer motifs and deliciously glassy-eyed solos. You won’t know whether to wearily dance or lie down; either way, you’ll be escorted to another dimension by the Argentine’s gently mind-altering grooves.

If you’re setting out on an epic voyage to the electronic disco universe, it pays to recruit an experienced pilot. When it comes to intergalactic musical fusion, few are quite as experienced as cosmic disco pioneer and noted dancefloor explorer Daniele Baldelli.

Produced alongside friend and regular studio partner Dario Piana, Zero Gravity cannily updates Baldelli’s early ‘80s cosmic disco blueprint for the 21st century. We think that the EP contains some of his strongest music to date, with each of the three cuts offering subtle nods to the Italian maestro’s original Cosmic Club ethos. 

A-side “Infinity Machine” expertly combines many of Baldelli’s greatest musical inspirations into one mind-bending late night workout. Underpinned by a druggy, arpeggio style bassline, the track rises and falls through waves of funk-rock guitars, crunchy Clavinet lines and intertwined synthesizer solos. Throw in jammed-out electric pianos, and you have a near perfect fusion of cosmic disco and blazed funk-rock.

The producer’s long-held love of African rhythms surfaces on “If You Drive”, where bold acid bass, ricocheting percussion hits and weightless chords combine beautifully with starry melody lines and vintage analogue synthesizer motifs. It’s Afro-cosmic for the nu-disco generation.

A fine EP is completed by “Air Lock”, in which Baldelli and Piana pepper a rubbery, electrofunk-influenced groove with cascading synthesizer melodies, swirling pads and a swathe of fuzzy, eyes-closed guitar solos. It’s bold and assertive, but also as otherworldly and stratospheric as you’d expect from a pioneer at the peak of his powers.

Daniele Baldelli & Dario Piana - If You Drive

In 2012 Shadow aka The Mighty Shadow aka Winston Anthony Bailey was decorated with the Order of the British Empire for his services in music. His grandfather always wanted him to become a lawyer but thanks to the Trinidadian calypsonian's grandson-disobidiance we are blessed today with his rich 70s and 80s discography.

D Hardest is a 4-to-the-floor soca heater originally released on Shadow's "Wake-Up" LP in 1980 on Charlie's Records. Soak in this uplifting calypso groove spiked with some dadaesque JH vocals and get hypnotised by a fat driving b-line and crazily beautiful strings!

GET IT!

Originally released on Shapes Of Rhythm (@shapesofrhythm) in 2017 as a part of his "Southern Uplands" EP, Octo Champ (@octochamp)'s Lacuna gets the remix treatment from Germany's David Hanke. While the original was more on an start-of-the-night Disco-House tip, this flip is a tad deeper with added keys and synths to also appease the fully electronic heads. Best known as his Renegades Of Jazz (@renegadesofjazz) alias, David Hanke has been in the music game for longer than most. With over 100 remixes to his name, his skills in re-crafting tracks to fit on a floor is almost second nature!

Shapes Of Rhythm have been kind enough to give this one away as a Free Download, so take it and spin it!

Exclusive Premiere: Octo Champ "Lacuna (David Hanke Remix)" (Shapes Of Rhythm Records)

When its 36 degrees in the southern hemisphere, and you and your partner are thinking of pre gaming Calipo Icy-poles before the club. This is the soundtrack you aux chord up, with your windows down in your 2010 Audi A5. Outfit suggestions would be low cut New Balance 574’s (sans socks), salmon shorts, and a t-shirt with a print that says ‘Ulysses Souvlaki EST 1992’.
