Contemporary disco label based out of the bricks-and-mortar record store of the same name in Amsterdam. Set up by Otto Kraanen (AKA Napoli Disco Club) in 2011, the label's output has spanned a range of styles but veers heavily towards the Italo end of the spectrum, with occasional forays into related styles such as electro, EBM and synthwave. Some of the best-known artists to have released music on Bordello A Parigi include The Hacker, Hard Ton, Tulioxi and Daniel Kyo.
Review: Grace Blamire and Lewis Norvid's Transfigure experiment is perfectly fit for Bordello A Parigi's imperceptible aesthetic, a catalogue filled with sublime u-turns and musical cul-de-sacs. After a series of debut EPs, this is the duo's first album to date, and the opening "Fields" sets a magnificent tone of neo-romanticism for the rest of these seven tracks. There are hints of balearica too, but the sounds of tunes like "Translation", or the majestic "Sanity", have a lot in common with the 1980s and that inimitable synth-pop wave. Melancholic and meditative at the same time, this LP will surely please a myriad of dancers and Djs alike, all looking for that same nostalgic musical thread.
