Label: DJ History
Released: April 6
The words 'bumper package are much overused but in this case there's no other way to describe this 19-strong package of remixes of unreleased 70s French disco gems.
Yes, I know what you're thinking. French disco... Perky, jazzy grooves at a laid back pace and all tailor made for inhaling heavily on an exotic fag while siipping an unfeasibly strong coffee outside a Parisian cafe. That's what I thought, with some cynicism, but as soon as I put it on I was reminded of what a sucker for it I am!
Highlights on CD1 include Toby Tobias' slap bass fest reworking of 'Phanom Rock', luxurious Rhodes piano burbling away behind the surface, LeoZero's congo carnival treatment of 'Baby's Band' and the Unabombers doing 'Music Robot' (just love those cowbells!). CD2 continues in a much similar vein, with equally esteemed names like Pete Herbert (Atlas), Idjut Boys and Prins Thomas doing the do.
Having thought for a while house music had pretty muh had its day, having been superceded by the electro of Justice and the catchy minimal techno of Fedde Le Grand, what a pleasant surprise 'Le Disco' is. Le Disco - c'est tres, tres bon! 4/5
