With electronic music cluttered with myriad
hybrids and subgenres, some readers may wonder, is
there really room for another disco offshoot?
After all, Norway's Lindstrom and Prins Thomas
have popularized their psychedelic cosmic-disco,
Germany's Get Physical and Systematic labels trade
in bass-driven electro-disco, and acts like LCD
Soundsystem, Headman, and The Rapture brought
disco-punk to the masses.
Rather than try and update discoÆs funky forms,
Compost Records has chosen to take it back to
original and often overlooked European purveyors.
So what exactly do European acts Jagg, Leb
Harmony, and Stroer have in common with NigeriaÆs
Tony Allen and U.S. soul act Rufus & Chaka Khan?
You can find out when Compost issues Elaste Volume
02: Space Disco, a look at obscure '70s and '80s
dance gems. Compiled and mixed by Vienna-based
producer and radio host Tom Wieland (7 Samurai,
Panoptikum), Elaste Volume 02 charts how American
'80s electro-soul met Italo-disco on a dark,
stainless-steel dancefloor somewhere in Bavaria.
"When you┤re digging deep in the crates of late
1970s underground disco, Kraut electronica,
proto-techno, Euro-boogie, or New Wave funk, you
can find plenty of un-classics that still sound
fresh today and showcase the roots and influences
of the likes of Metro Area, Prins Thomas, and many
more," says Wieland. "Most of these titles were
fairly unknown when they were released, some
became almost famous, and this is what this
compilation is about. lost space disco gems and
soulful Euro-boogie-the good side of the early 80s
in Europe."
Weiland and Panoptikum production partner Marc
Frank contribute their modern tribute tune
ôElasteö to the compilation.
A previous compilation, 2007Æs Elaste Vol 1: Slow
Motion Disco, kicked off the series and earned
critical accolades. Elaste Volume 2: Space Disco
is out June 13 on Compost Records.
