Review: Mexican (nu) disco stalwart Hotmood serves up two complimentary but contrasting cuts on his own Discoweey imprint. In the red corner we have 'Away From You', a summery, uplifting near-instrumental that blends disco-house and sunny Balearica and that's driven by a warping, heavily effected bassline and an incessant piano riff, with vibes coming out to play in the mid-section. The accompanying 'Spill The Wine' treads a chunkier, funkier path, and busts out a flute halfway through to give it that mid-70s Harlem feel. Both tracks have a Dave Lee-esque kinda feel, and both will get 'em moving for sure.
Review: Mexican producer Guillermo Gonzalez, better known to disco lovers as Hotmood, serves up two very serviceable jams on his own Discoweey label (launched in 2018 as the successor to Hotmood Records). Whether these are original productions or re-edits isn't entirely clear, but no matter because either way, 'Makin' Love' is a smooth n' sexy affair with funky guitar licks, brass parps, a breathy female "makin' love" vocal and an authentically late 70s/early 80s feel overall, while 'You Got The Magic' is an epic, rolling, string-drenched disco-house groove that's not dissimilar in feel to Groovejet's 'Spiller' before they put the vocal on it.
