Purveyor of all things nice, sugar and spice, Boite Music is a constant source of inspiration for the disco tripper and E-dancer. Embracing all manner of obscure synth, chugging Balearic and power disco, it’s marquee artists are found in Ainz, Ivan Fabra and Manuela Costela next to the odd Rayko and Alex Aguyao featurette too. Topped in the charts by Pete Herbet, Fran Deeper and Sauco furthermore, Boite Music prides itself on delivering a reliable, steady stream of new wave dance music for no matter the discotheque.
Review: Italian producer Naviberg has half a dozen or so previous releases to his name, mostly on the IM Electronica label. Here, though, he comes to Spa In Disco's sister label Boite Music with five tracks that fit the imprint's stated musical remit ("the dark side of nu-disco and electronic music, from indie-dance to synthwave") perfectly. 'Figa Spaziale''s long, slow-building intro marks it out as a great set-opener, 'Lasciate Andare' has proggy overtones, while the housier vibe of 'Lento Violente' slowly cedes ground to the more Balearic feel of 'Seduzione' and, in particular, closer 'Trovami Di Nuovo'.
Review: Boite Music is the baby brother of Fran Deeper's Spa In Disco stable, specialising in "synth, chugging Balearic and power disco". If you've yet to dip into the label's catalogue - or simply just can't get enough of it - then this nine-track compilation is well worth a listen. It begins with a throbbing and pulsating slab of exotic, Italo-tinged nu-disco (Cobertizo's 'Inana') and ends with the mind-mangling dark-Italo chug of Manuel Costela's synth-heavy 'Girls of the Night'; in between, you'll find a variety of trippy, heavily electronic treats including such highlights as the Bobby Orlando-on-sleeping pills shuffle of 'Glide' by Saturno 5, the occidental disco exoticism of Jason Core's 'Istanbul', and the atmospheric, delay-laden vocal nu-disco pulse of Rayko's 'Solstice'.
Review: Mexican artist La Guardia De La Luz continues to notch up releases on much-loved labels, with this outing on Boite Music following well-regarded EPs for Rare Wiri, Hell Yeah and Paper Recordings. The headline attraction is undoubtedly title track 'Teleport', a near ten-minute slab of ear-pleasing aural colour that adds jaunty organ stabs, intergalactic ambient chords, deep space melodies and swirling electronics to a head-nodding, hip-hop style downtempo beat. The producer's interest in the star-gazing end of ambient and Balearica continues on '3D25D (The Prophet-Earth's Bifurication)', while 'Antennae' is a hypnotic, locked-in chugger rich in spacey electronic. On 'Buen Viaje' the Mexican cannily blurs the boundaries between bleeping deep house and shuffling Balearic nu-disco, hefore 'Gamma/Ghost Heart' gently brings us back down to earth via gaseous chords, delay-laden melodies and enveloping ambient textures.
