Copycat At Juno Download

Review: Martin Brodin's Swedish nu-disco label MB drop their latest bomb and it typically sounds like it could have been made yesterday... or indeed back in 1984. Copycat specialises in disco with Italo, Balearic and electro leanings and it's the former that comes to the fore on the title track. Evoking images of fresh suntans, pastel Armani suits and cocktails, "Can You Feel It" is a glamorous and laidback fantasy. "Just My Imagination Talking" is a cheeky nod to Imagination's 'Body Talk' and finally "It's Like A Dream" ends things on a spacey, electro-funk high.

Review: Swedish producer Copycat has enjoyed an interesting career to date, first impressing with a series of unlikely bootleg mash-ups and punkish electro tracks before moving on to more serious-minded compositions. Here he pops up on Martin Brodin's MB Disco imprint with a breezy fusion of Balearic piano solos and Moroder-ish electro-disco bottom end. It's simultaneously tough, chunky and impossibly sunny. Fast-rising Brooklyn studio boffin Lou Teti draws out the track's more Balearic elements on a laidback disco rub that seemingly shuffles from the speakers like an old man on smack. Ajello, meanwhile, turns "Disco Thang" into a twinkling acid house/nu-disco crossover.
