Bandolier is the record label brought to you by UK DJ and producer Chewy Rubs. Expect a steady stream of Discofied edits, boogie down productions, indie disco and house with new original product and of course the legendary edits by the big hairy one and his friends.
Review: A four-tracker here from Chewy Rubs, coming on his own Bandolier label and operating, as the title suggests, at a slightly lower tempo than is his wont. The EP opens with 'Acid Chugger', whose very name kindly saves yours truly having to think of what to say about it! 'Fro Mo' is another midpaced affair topped with dialogue samples, 'Jazz Cat' opens with a "this is a how it should be done" vocal sample (the first of many) and has a party-hearty, Jalapeno-esque feel, before finally we come to 'Something For Your Soul', another chugging, throbbing affair with treated, spoken vocal snips and lashings of acid bass.
Review: UK deep house and disco stalwart Chewy Rubs is back with four brand new cuts whose overall MO is summed up rather nicely by the EP title. 'Chunky But Funky' itself centres around a hefty, squelching bassline that's married to a solid 4/4 kick, tizzy hats and a single, nagging piano chord, with spacier synths joining the party in the second half. Elsewhere, 'Dance To It' is a rollicking disco roller with a male "dance to it" vocal joined by chorus'd female "dance!" shouts, 'Disco Evo' ploughs a rawer funk furrow, while 'Feed Your Soul' brings the strutty deep house vibes. Good stuff all round.
Review: Three fine slabs of electronic disco here from Spain's Fran Deeper, brought to you by Chewy Rubs' Bandolier label. The title cut is a deep, proggy throbber augmented by bouts of sci-fi synths and the occasional rave-y whoop and/or holler. 'Keep Calm Baby' is a more archetypal 'nu disco' affair with Italo-ish synths and snatches of Chris Rea-like semi-spoken male vocal, while finally the package is completed by the lighter, more shimmer-y 'Low Calories', which sports some cool 70s-sounding strings alongside its shiny 80s synths. All three are very playable but the title track leads the charge for yours truly.
