Review: Some top-drawer collaborative action here, as much-loved quirky disco specialist Bottin joins up with fellow Italian scene stalwart Francisco de Bellis (Jolly Music, L.U.C.A) for some predictably eccentric but rather good tracks. Title track 'Love Life' is sleazy and sexy, with the pair adding trippy psych-rock guitars, effects-laden vocals and sparkling synth sounds to a squelchy, acid-flecked slo-mo groove, with Fernando Pulichino hook-up 'Delta Tigra' is gloriously sunny Afro-Balearic business that's as stunningly picturesque as it is hard to pigeonhole. The EP also boasts two tidy remixes: a dubby, spaced-out Italo-disco revision of 'Love Life' by Rodion, as a cheery, mood-enhancing nu-disco treatment of 'Delta Tigra' courtesy of Nang records regular Ichisan.
Review: Settled from his native Australia in NYC, Francisco pays homage to his adopted city with this huge new hip-hop/electro smasher, complete with some equally banging remixes. Over an A-Trak/Kissy-style beat, 'Cisco's rhymes gel nicely with the old-school drum patterns and new-school bass stabs on the original, while Mac The Hand bumps up the tempo on his 4/4 dubstep mix. The one to watch though is Mickey 'Magic' Escobar's devilish thumper which brings back that staple of 80s-electro and vintage Casio keyboards everywhere - the orchestral hit.
