Review: Dublin-based producer Leopoldo Rosa, better known as Lerosa, comes to local label Lunar Disko with an EP of blistering electro, packing four original tracks plus a remix from Italy's Marco Passarani. 'Authority' itself is the all-out peaktime electro assault for the tracksuit-wearing purists, 'Grey Violet' has a slightly funkier feel redolent of Italo and other early 80s Euro styles, while 'Background Check' captures that 80s Yello/Art Of Noise vibe nicely. 'Ummon', on the other hand, is a more mellifluous affair that could cross over onto progressive/melodic house floors, while Passarani's re-rub gives it a darker, moodier twist.
Review: A pleasingly varied four-tracker from Dutch label Bordello A Parigi. Ireland's Lerosa gets the ball rolling with the synth disco of 'It's Hard', before we take a left turn into bass/electro/footwork territory with Eliott Litrowski's 909-tastic 'The Little Optimist'. It's then back to the 80s Eurodisco with Vivyan's 'That Time I Dated', which comes on like a long-lost Lipps Inc out-take, before the EP's completed by Sergo Mesa AKA Iamnotarobot's 'El Vuelo', a slice of shimmering, sultry Nang-style nu-disco that's sure to "captcha" your heart. See what we did there? A solid bet for those who like their disco on the leftfield side.
