Milky Disco

Variously referred to as Nu Disco or Cosmic Disco, it’s
an underground scene that’s been getting bigger
and stronger in the last couple of years. One of the
key players, Lindstrom, is taking influences from across
the dance spectrum, from dubbed out instrumental
house, pitched down with added live elements to full
on arpeggiated italo disco electronics. Lindstrom is
only part of an ever increasing group of artistes who
are choosing to explore these sounds. The whole
scene has been hitting front pages in the last couple
of months, on the verge of going over-ground with
much media attention bearing down on the ‘Nu Disco
Mafia’.
This compilation brings you the tracks that have
helped define this sound. They’re all here from Morgan Geist’s spooky tribute to Black Devil as Jersey
Devil Social Club. Black Devil themselves who provide
a fantastic remix of In Flagranti’s ‘Nonplusultra’,
Swedish sensations Studio with the stoned immaculate
kraut rock inspired ‘Life’s A Beach’, Cornwall’s answer
to Metro Area, Kerrier District aka Luke Vibert in league
with Black Mustang dealing out the deadly dub vibrations,
San Fran based Sorcerer with his mystic cosmic
sound and Padded Cell’s steaming punkfunk disco.
From the deep atmospherics of Quiet Village to the
Balearic vibes of the Idjut Boys epic rework of The
Emperor Machine’s ‘Front Man’, the New York strut
of Daniel Wang or the easy listening almost post
rock sound of Lindstrom, there’s ample evidence
of why this is the most happening sound around.
‘Milky Disco’ features exclusive tracks from Lindstrom
(under his Six Cups Of Rebel alias), Sally Shapiro, Quiet
Village. Kerrier District and Black Mustang along with
rare tracks only ever released before on vinyl making
this the quintessential cosmic disco compendium.
