Review: The name may sound French, but Jean Claude Gavro actually hails from Tel Aviv. He's the kind of disco re-edit guy who's totally down with re-editing well know material and Seaside Edits Vol 1 is no exception. That said it's only really "Ebonettes" that's really obvious, being a reworked version of Malcolm McLaren's b-boy classic, Double Dutch. Elsewhere it's more obscure stuff: "Boya Dera" is all tight Latin grooves, "Love" is a dreamy, funked-out percussive disco dub and "Moma" ends with a wild and cheery Afro-disco chant-along.
Review: When it comes to the disco edits scene at the moment, Tel Aviv man Jean Claude Gavri is on pretty unstoppable form. His latest EBO release leads with a retucked version of ELO's disco classic "Last Train To London" that commences with the sort of intro DJs will love before a main refrain that focuses on the pure disco vibes of the song's verses. "Nightfly" from Steely Dan man Donald Fagan is flipped by Gavri with some help from Omri Anghel which will really heat up the dancefloors.
