Review: Thicker than clotted cream and twice as opulent, Golden Soul's latest label retrospective is well worth your attention. It focuses on material released by the Spanish imprint in 2019, which was arguably the label's strongest year to date. Label founder James Rod makes a number of killer contributions, with the colourful, bass-heavy Balearic nu-disco chug of "Let's Play Together" (a collaboration with Parissior) and the dreamy Italo-disco throb of "Heart Rock (Aleito Mix)" standing out. Elsewhere, get your ears around the sparkling, breakdown-boasting sunrise rush of Dubhouser's "Ereh" and the thrill-a-minute Euro-disco effervescence that is Hoochie Coochie Papa's "Work My Body".
Review: Mexican produer Estuardo Flores, better known as Lusca, comes to Spanish label Golden Soul with the latest example of what his bio calls his "slower, darker acid disco". In its original form, 'Lost In Thar' (feat Mil Y Nadie) is a slo-mo chugger made up mostly of Italo-esque synths, and powered along by a hard-hitting kickdrum. The Jb Dizzy Remix ups the tempo considerably, and indeed could work in progressive/melodic house sets, while the final remix comes from James Rod, who takes us down an even more dark and apocalyptic path than the original. A track to dance to at the end of the days.
