Review: Not to be confused with NY garage legends Joi N'Jorio, Joi N'Juno is the new artist alias of French producer, keyboard player and vocalist David 'Damny' Baluteau, formerly of electro-punk outfit La Phaze. As Joi N'Juno he's racked up half a dozen releases that he describes as "blending retro vibes with modern disco and Afrobeats", which gives you a pretty good idea of what to expect from this single-tracker for Mexican label Discoweey, in which 70s disco geetars and Fela-like brass flourishes sit atop a hefty-ass bassline that suggests M. Baluteau may have more than one or two Murk records in his collection.
Review: After recent excursions on Over The Top and Pink Funk, prolific Mexican producer Hotmood returns to his own Discoweey with a classy single-track release here. A lilting but insistent jazz-funk piano line provides the backbone for 'Cheat On Me', married to simple 4/4s, handclaps and a lovely warm, resonant bassline. The topline is then provided by two vocal parts: a treated and chorused female "how could you do it to me baby?" and accompanying male "aaaah baby!" shouts, both augmented by some subtle strings and brass in the mid-section. It all adds up to something of an understated gem.
