Furious Mandrill

Mexican label, based in Cancun and operating since 2019. The label is perhaps best known for its 'Mandrill Cuts' series of re-edit EPs, which at time of writing has reached 16 volumes, but has also put out plenty of original releases in the disco/disco-house arena (though the term they actually use themselves is “tropical disco and Afrodisiac funk”), coming from artists such as C Da Afro, Funk District and Velvet Stripes. Another label regular is Argentina's Alexny (real name Ivan Alexis Podwiazny), whose recent 'Istanbul To New Delhi' EP broke new stylistic ground for the label as he delved into the sounds of the Middle East and Asia.

Review: Since he last featured on Furious Mandrill back in December 2019, Paul Older has taken his particular brand of humid dancefloor funk to the Discoweey and Tropical Disco labels. His return to Furious Mandrill tops the lot, with the now-established re-editor and remixer offering up chunky, floor-friendly revisions of hot-to-trot disco, funk and jazz-funk jams from both Africa and South America. Their most infectious and weighty of the four tracks is undoubtedly the inspired Afro-disco workout "Akisakisana", where positive chords and chanted vocals raise the temperature after an extra-percussive start, though the horn-heavy Brazilian disco-funk vibes of "Mais" are also deliciously addictive. Elsewhere, "Los Carmelos" is a cheery skip through sun-kissed samba-disco territory and "Monkey Funky" sees Older successfully beef up a wild, Hammond-heavy disco-funk jam.
