Future Disco

Album review:
You have to pick carefully from the nu disco smorgasbord. For every zinger there are, literally, hundreds of new wave disco tracks of such ponderous elegance that they can, literally, sap your will to live. Luckily, this mix shifts its arse, keeps the stoned Balearic vibes to a minimum, and squeezes in Aeroplane’s celestial mix of Friendly Fires’ ‘Paris’. Toggling between Holy Ghost!, Matias Aguayo and Chaz Jankel, it proves there’s something fresh afoot: something sad, ecstatic, coolly electronic and deeply theatrical.
