future feelings At Juno Download

Review: In the last 12 months, Mexico has emerged as an unlikely hotbed of nu-disco talent. The latest act to emerge from the apparently disco-minded Central American state is Future Feelings. Here, they offer up a two-track taster EP on Madrid-based Los Grandes, an imprint whose discography seemingly gets better with every release. Both "Skylife" and "Africa" are built around delightfully rubbery bass guitar grooves, with the former taking top billing thanks to some choice vocal samples and a loose electrofunk/disco fusion vibe. "Africa", though, is still pretty tasty, and should cause considerable dancefloor damage thanks to some fearlessly wigged-out synth squiggles.

Review: Already boasting support from the likes of Jacques Renault and Jazzanova, File Under Disco are onto another winner with their latest release. Future Feelings are analogue disco enthusiasts with a mission to deliver music 'developed both for dancefloor glory and for sensitive listening'. With its loose, slap-heavy funk bass and shimmering piano, "Neat Disco" straddles the divide between a messy night out and a messy night in with gusto. Disco-nouveau hero, Pete Herbert, hooks up with Dicky Trisco for a teased-out spacey Balearic remix, but we're loving the mournful, Guru-Josh-on-downers trip of "Wonky Disco" the most.
