To launch both a brand nu year and a nu decade, Hed Kandi introduces its second NU DISCO release on 1st Feb 2010, featuring a myriad of modern day disco gems taken from a dance music phenomenon that has taken over Hed Kandi headquarters and every enlightened dancefloor across the globe.
Since Nu Disco was introduced to the illustrious Hed Kandi series last year, there’s not only been a hugely successful album release, but this genre also spread its sequin-coated, synthesized wings across to Hed Kandi’s famous Ibiza residency in Space. There it took over the entire back room with a plethora of the genre’s finest proponents including Crazy P, Aeroplane and Greg Wilson, all of which feature on this magnificent nu chapter of Nu Disco, alongside nu recruits including Fred Falke, Lindstrom and Christabelle and Phonat.
CD1 shimmies into action with a Greg Wilson re-edit of track of the moment Simian Mobile Disco’s ‘Cruel Intentions’ featuring Gossip Girl Beth Ditto, closely followed by a step back in disco time with a 21st century remake of Junior’s enormous 80s track ‘Mama Used To Say’ by Jupiter. Cosmic connoisseurs Fred Falke and Chromeo, supply original tracks respectively with ‘Back to Stay’ and ‘Night by Night’, whilst indie heroes Editors get the disco treatment from Tom Neville on ‘Papillion’. Stand out tracks on this disc, that we’re not allowed to tell you about, come from the up-tempo Likelike mix of The Private’s ‘Secret Lover’, and Felix Da Housecat’s version of Passion Pit’s ‘Secrets’.
CD2 brings together two 21st century disco pioneers as Aeroplane remix Lindstrom and Christabelle’s ‘Baby Can’t Stop’. Crazy P, quite rightly so, make an appearance with a mix of ‘Stop Space Return’ from Ron Basejam. Phonat’s ‘Love Hits The Fan’ is an example of the power of the sound with its vocally distorted and synth-heavy sci-fi style production. Fred Falke takes on two tracks from this disc with remixes of Grizzly Bear’s ‘Two Weeks’ and Shena’s ‘Nasty Little Rumour’, and Hed Kandi’s finest John Jones’ awesome ‘Be Together’ is remixed by Christian Hoff making this track perfect nu disco fodder, whilst Vitalic rocks the end of this disc with his killer ‘Poison Lips’.
Nu Disco is Hed Kandi’s perspective on the natural evolution of our beloved disco as it is transformed into the pioneering distant futuristic sound of the 21st century. This is disco’s budding romance with science fiction!
