About Disco

About Disco is a Brazillian disco and funk-fuelled label founded by Rafael Cancian in 2014. The glitterball-gleaming sounds of About Disco have been shaped by the likes of: The Funk District, NFC, Javi Frias, A Digital Needle, Levantine, Alexny, and Rafael Cancian himself. About Disco’s record design is instantly recognisable with tropical colours of fruits, flowers and fauna.

Steps Out
Steps Out (Space Odyssey mix) - (6:50) 105 BPM
Review: Bernardo Pinheiro hails from Bel?m do Par? in Brazil, where he runs both the Ver-o-Som Studio and the Baile Tropical label. But if you're here in search of samba or bossa nova vibes you're going to be disappointed, because 'Steps Out' is a straight-up love letter to first-generation disco, with 70s-style chorused scat vox and handclaps underpinned by a fat, chugging Moroder-ish bassline and augmented by all manner of Italo-esque sci-fi synths. If contemporary disco largely falls into two camps - the soulful/funky side and the electronic side - then here's a track that'll unite the tribes on the dancefloor.

Queen Of Zanzibar
Queen Of Zanzibar (Jack District remix) - (6:57) 122 BPM Hot
Queen Of Zanzibar (Marcelo Dionisio remix) - (5:55) 118 BPM
Review: Two mixes to choose from of this latest bullet from Sao Paulo's Rafael Cancian, coming on his own About Disco label. Cancian describes himself as a "funk/disco/house" producer so it's not surprising that 'Queen Of Zanzibar' is equally hard to put neatly in any one box, but the Jack District Remix can perhaps best be described as a funk-fuelled slice of contemporary disco with shimmering, Balearic-ish keys. It's the accompanying refix from Marcelo Dionisio that stands out to these ears, though, being a somewhat struttier, more attitude-y pass that sports some disorienting snips of female laughter, and that's perhaps slightly better suited to floor play.

Further Excerpts From Disco, Pt. 2
Vilkan - (5:44) 121 BPM
Bosporus - (5:50) 119 BPM Hot
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.

Casual Encounters - (6:45) 123 BPM Hot
Kind Of Magic - (7:00) 115 BPM
Magnifique - (7:35) 120 BPM
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.

SS16 - (5:32) 124 BPM
Played by: Paul Older
Review: With just a couple of previous EPs for U're Guay Records under his belt, Italian newcomer JP Disco (true identity unknown) comes to Brazil's About Disco label with a very solid two-tracker. Up first is 'Arena', which opens with lively percussion redolent of Booker T & The MGs' 'Soul Limbo', then settles down into a pulsing disco-house groove topped with looped-up vocal snips and squelchy analogue synth sounds. 'SS16' rides tuffer 4/4s and a walking disco bassline, but is really most notable for the wigged-out Hammonds that arrive round about the 2:30 mark... hep cats will dig this one for sure.
