Review:
Needwant’s popular Future Disco series reaches its fourth volume, with another epic trawl through some of 2010’s biggest Neon tinged late night bombs. It’s the first section that impresses most, offering a thrill-a-minute journey through low-slung contemporary New York disco, breezy nu-disco and even touching on house. The tracklist is a little heavy on the admittedly brilliant but already familiar (Jacques Renault’s ubiquitous take on Midnight Magic’s "Beam Me Up", Greg Wilson’s remix of Escort and "Look Right Through", Morgan Geist’s debut as Storm Queen ), but scratch beneath the surface and you’ll find superb, lesser-known tracks and mixes. Particular highlights include the superlative Gadi & Soul Clap tweak of 80s Boston act Bad Rabbits, Filippson & Ulysses emotive ode to John Carpenter and Bonar Bradberry getting reshaped by Pete Herbert.
