Bordello A Parigi

Bordello A Parigi

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.

Azimuth
Automaton Lover (feat Furor Exotica) - (6:11) 118 BPM
Played by: Dave Mathmos
Review: Leitstrahl, the dynamic trio comprised of Stoff, Paul Raal, and Boogaloo Steve, returns to the dancefloor with their latest EP, "Azimuth," released on the esteemed Bordello A Parigi label, this time joined by the talented Alberto Melloni. The EP's title, "Azimuth," serves as a nod to the legendary Brazilian jazz-funk ensemble, Azimuth, hinting at the eclectic influences that permeate this musical journey. The EP kicks off with a bang, courtesy of Bordello A Parigi's own Furor Exotica, who lends a hand in crafting the infectious opening track, "Automaton Lover." Moving on to the title track, "Azimuth" keeps the energy flowing with its super addictive melody and inviting instrumental arrangement. "Spectral Fantasy" continues the journey with its thick basslines and captivating lyrics delivered by the enigmatic Vongold. It's a hypnotic blend of music and storytelling that adds depth to the EP. Closing out the release is "Light Years," a smooth lounge affair that oozes sophistication and elegance. Slung-back basslines and a sultry low throb provide the perfect foundation for this chilled-out finale, allowing listeners to unwind and reflect on the diverse musical journey they've just experienced.

Harmony Unit - (5:31) 118 BPM
Played by: Rayko
Review: Expect an expertly blends deep house and disco on this four-track EP from the imprint Bordello A Parigi. At the commands is the sophisticated well-known German artist Lauer, with previous releases on labels like Running Back and Permanent Vacation. The opening track, 'Harmony Unit,' sets the tone with lush chords that evoke a sense of euphoria and elation. 'Betone' follows with its chugging grooves and dreamy vocals, creating a longing and yearning atmosphere. 'Frizzante' brings the disco vibes with pinging analogue drums and bright arpeggios, showcasing Lauer's skill at fusing classic disco elements with modern production techniques. The EP's final track, 'Playa,' is a playful and upbeat tune with a tooting vibe that will remind listeners of the beloved classic 'Inspector Norse.' Overall, this EP is a fantastic exploration of the similarities and differences between deep house and disco, and a must-listen for fans of both genres.

Lords Of The Future - (5:13) 114 BPM Hot
Review: Lords of the Future, a Dutch duo comprising Sam Sjamsoedin and Coen Berrier, may be debutants, but their sound is as authentic to the Italo-disco sound Bordello a Parigi loves as any of the label's more experienced artists. They set their stall out via the seemingly wayward, sequenced lead lines, throbbing Italo-disco bass and vocoder vocals of 'Subliminal Proximity', before blurring the boundaries between intergalactic '80s electro and synth-pop on cheery vocal number 'Consumer Logic'. More throbbing late-night Italo-disco thrills are provided by the chiming melodies, arpeggio style synths and hot-stepping beats of 'Nothing Lasts Forever', while 'Lords of the Future' is a shimmering and chugging workout for those seeking pulsating, mid-tempo thrills.

Forever Alone
Cosmic Tribune - (6:29) 119 BPM
Review: One of Stockholm's finest exports, Elfenberg find themselves on Bordello here with four cuts of mind-expanding and life-enriching synth goodness. The skilled duo kick off with the high-speed arps and tight kicks of the retro-future smoother 'Forever Alone' then slow things down to a more Balearic and breezy vibe on 'Conga Coronation' with its finger clicks and lush pads. There is soft acid magic at the heart of 'Sphere Of Missing Out' while 'Cosmic Tribune' lulls you into a nice widescreen cosmic world of tumbling chord sequences and warped bass.

WLDV - "Relax & Enjoy" - (6:35) 118 BPM
Review: Diamonds In The Night, Bordello a Parigi's multi-artist EP series, has delivered plenty of killer cuts since it launched in 2020. Volume five arrives kicking and screaming, with the Dutch label serving up a quartet of peak-time and after-hours bangers. Kiko and Enrik Schroeder get things going via the spiralling synthesiser melodies, thrusting sequenced bass and hands-aloft Hi-NRG vibes of 'Mezzanotte', before Club Mayz drops the darker, more angular and analogue rich Italo-disco throb of 'Princess of Excess'. Martin Mastike's 'Dimensional Mode' is a more pulsating and cheerful chunk of mi-tempo Italo, while WLDV's 'Relax and Enjoy' provides a suitably surging, clattering and breathless conclusion to a must-check EP of muscular madness.

Acid Maria
Acid Maria (original mix) - (6:56) 116 BPM Hot
Review: Daniel Monaco follows his 2021 release, Tu Sei Pazza, for Bordello A Parigi, with this moody EP. Inspired by the mid-tempo swagger of New Beat and the warbling sound of the 303, the title track centres on a pulsating groove and dramatic synth stabs. Monaco then overlays a moody vocal sample and some gurgling acid for good measure. The Curses remix of "Maria" is set to a faster tempo, with a throbbing rhythm featuring hip-hop scratches and the original track's vocals. Meanwhile, the Younger Than Me version revolves around a buzzing, tearing bass and subtle snare builds, making for an impactful piece of electro-techno.

Review: A year or so back, the hinterland between Italo and prog was one of the busiest regions on the entire dance music map; lately the deluge of surging synths seems to have slowed down somewhat, but if that for you was a golden age then fear not because this EP from Bordello A Parigi, which packs four tracks from as many artists, should cater for your requirements nicely! Pete Beluga & Du Chatinier's 'Only Shine At Night' is the standout for yours truly, thanks to its authentically new wave-y kinda feel, while Some Chemistry's 'Euro Connector' gives things a slightly housier twist.

Le Divan - (5:57) 112 BPM Hot
Review: Amsterdam-based Bordello A Parigi bring us an EP from Hypnotique, a trio consisting of Sergio Mesa, David Journet and vocalist Maia J who made their debut on the label with 'Le P?nombre' back in 2020. Now they return with four slabs of shimmering 80s-inspired synth-pop from the cold, Germanic and coldwave-y side - the kind of thing that, at the time, you'd have been more likely to hear on John Peel than on 'Top Of The Pops'. Two cuts stand out for this writer: 'Ce Monde', with its overtones of German proto-goths Xmal Deutschland, and 'Le Divan', which in its surging, pulsing synths has hints of the 'ambient house' of the late 80s/early 90s. But the other two - 'Solitude' itself and 'Paralyzed' - are also plenty playable, making this a very checkable EP for all you 80s obsessives out there.

Daniel Monaco & Futuristant - "Summer '96" - (5:31) 118 BPM
Review: The fact that the first track here is entitled 'Italians & Spacemen' should give you a pretty good idea what to expect from the rest of the EP: we're esconced firmly in Italo territory here, with Moroder-like basslines, Carpenter-esque sci-fi synths and analogue drum machine beats very much in evidence throughout. Look to Hyboid and Discobeton if it's faithful pastiche of the original early 80s Italo sound you're after, Daniel Monaco & Futuristant for a more late 80s-ish update or Captain Mustache if you want to be dragged into the present with hints of techno, footwork and electro.

Review: If you're in the mood for a mixture of sparkling synth-scapes, revivalist Italo-disco chuggers, cowbell-powered electro-disco groovers, toughened-up Euro-pop dancers and sparkling, 1980s movie soundtrack sounds, we'd heartily recommend this long-awaited debut album from Austrian trio Leitstrahl. Their trademark sound is naturally retro-futurist by its very nature, but you'll struggle to find any of the cheesy elements often associated with 1980s synthesizer music, just a string of polished and ear-catching highlights including 'Europa Supersaw' (featuring vocals from Bronski Beat's Jon Jon Foster), the Bobby Orlando-esque 'Albatross', and the chunky electrofunk giddiness of 'Long Lines'. In a word: terrific!

Review: Grab a cold beer, whip off your shoes and head down to the shore: Bordello a Parigi's brilliant "Riviera Disco" series is turning ten with an expansive collection of cuts guaranteed to get you dancing on the shore shirtless. There's naturally a retro-futurist feel throughout, with all 11 tracks making use of the chugging arpeggio style basslines and colourful, mid-'80s synthesizer melodies of Italo-disco. Highlights come thick and fast, from the jaunty melodies and Bobby 'O' Orlando grooves of Daniel Monaco & Don Voyage's "Tropical Disaster" to the bold, spacey melodies and effortlessly joyous vibe of Bijou's "Hotsy Totsy (Instrumental Mix)". Also worth checking is the tongue-in-cheek vocal brilliance of Salta and Roma's 1984 style tweak of Flagio M's "I Want Your Love".

Review: Given the impressive number of labels he's released on over the last decade (Safer At Night, Throne of Blood, Let's Play House and OFF Recordings amongst them), we were rather surprised to find that this is Curses' first outing on Bordello a Parigi. There are two original cuts to choose from: "Pedal To The Metal & Don't Look Bad", a wonky Italo-disco jam full of fuzzy rock guitar riffs and spacey eight-bit synthesizer melodies, and the EBM-influenced throb of industrial strength workout "Knife In Teeth". Both cuts are given the remix treatment, with Tarr providing a more muscular, peak-time Italo revision of "Pedal To The Metal & Don't Look Back" before Birds of Paradise re-imagine "Knife In Teeth" as a drowsy and unusual chunk of industrial/IDM fusion.

Review: Some seven years after releasing his first single, Volta Cab has finally got round to making a debut album. The fact that it's appearing on Holland's lauded Bordello a Parigi label offers a clue not only to its' contents, but also its' obvious quality. In keeping with the Russian producer's recent releases, Rise Again is a stylish, left-of-centre affair, rich in vintage synthesizer and drum machine sounds. In the process, he touches on moody leftfield synth-pop, Balearic nu-disco, eccentric electro, mind-altering Italo-disco, John Carpenter style horror soundtracks, muscular electro-disco and even dreamy, sunrise-friendly deep house. Distinctive and hugely entertaining, it's easily Volta Cab's most assured release to date.

Tomohawk - (5:45) 114 BPM
Review: Bordello A Parigi has just returned from a fruitful expedition to Russia and presents Super Sax Sounds: a rich and varied expression from St Petersburg synthesizer playboy Kito Jempere. Now here is an artist that has explored a spread of sounds during his career. The first two tracks are the product of one diverse machine: the Yamaha QY-70. Beginning with the late night neon-lit disco of "Bueller's Dance" which indeed does sound like it was lifted from a John Hughes soundtrack, as does the evocative and bittersweet score of "Space Commercial" with its tapestry of rich synth textures. We particularly enjoyed closing track "Tomohawk", a mysterious journey through the exotic with its middle eastern aesthetic conjured form analogue machines.
