Review: A bit of a change of pace for Mexican disco producer Levantine here: where August's 'Pt 1' focused on rock-tinged, cosmic/Italo-inspired vibes, 'Further Excerpts From Disco, Pt 2' finds him in slightly more straight-up disco territory. 'Vilkan' gets the ball rolling, a midpaced instrumental roller that (very) vaguely recalls Salsoul Orchestra's 'You're Just The Right Size' - no samples involved, it just has a similar kinda feel. The killer to these ears though is 'Bosporus', which sits right on the deep house/disco cusp, sports some very fine jazz trumpet-work in the mid-section, and has pent-up dancefloor energy to spare.

Review: Three contemporary disco jams here coming courtesy of Levantine, a Mexican producer who cites his influences as "New Order, a blonde ex-girlfriend and Schopenhauer" and who prior to taking up the DJ-producer mantle played in both rock bands and synth outfits. It's perhaps unsurprising, then, that he's operating here at the cosmic/Italo end of the disco spectrum, a sound that 'Magnifique' emulates quite faithfully. 'Kind Of Magic' is similar in style but a little more Germanic and coldwave-y, but the standout for this reviewer is sitar-sprinkled opener 'Casual Encounters', with its decided overtones of psychedelia.
