Review: Via his Vintage Music imprint, Sunner Soul man Alexandr Chebankov keeps serving up the hits. Here he gathers together another bumper selection of seductive sunshine slow jams and dancefloor-ready goodtime grooves to soundtrack your summer. Naturally, there are plenty of his warm, sample-heavy productions and re-edits present (our favourites include the jazzy disco rush of "Summertime", his gentle and groovy rework of much-loved Letta Mbulu Balearic fave "Normalizo" and the bumpin', bass-heavy disco house bustle of "Disco Orchestra"), alongside similarly impressive outings from Kid Goodman (the sublime '80s house revision "Nice and Slow"), Lolita Knox (a tooled-up flip of a Cheryl Lynn anthem) and the Sunshine Disco Club (the Balearic dancefloor breeze of "Morning Exercise").
Review: It seems that living in Siberia doesn't stop Alexander Chebankov from living a sun-kissed dream. He recently founded Vintage Records as a channel for all his dreamy, palm-lined disco re-edits. Here he presents someone with the unfortunate title of Banana Lover, who presents two such tracks for our listening pleasure. "Love Cruise" is straight-up party froth: what sounds much like a late 70s Streisand/Gibb number filtered and looped with big drops that kick back in with a supreme joy. "Carefree" is a fuzzed-out slo-mo head-nodded that convincingly gives the listen the sense of having one Pina Colada too many.
