Review: Three slices of heavily electronic, house-leaning disco here from Vhyce, a Portuguese-Italian producer who's currently based in Belgium. 'Amour Cru' starts out as a perfectly serviceable Italo-esque chugger, then slowly develops into a sultry, sweaty affair that's got a mid-90s house feel, complete with a (presumably sampled, but unidentified) diva vocal. The far pacier, more urgent-sounding 'Rainbow Overdrive' is a pretty faithful homage to European disco of the early 80s (vaguely new wave-ish female vocal and all) and has some fine space disco stabs, while 'L.O.W' invites the throwing of dancefloor shapes with its jaunty, proto-electro synth riff.
Review: Given that his last appearance was on noted disco/deep house fusion imprint Diggin' Deeper, it's perhaps unsurprising that the crew behind Future Disco are big fans of Vhyce. His first EP for the noted compilation and party crew's label is a typically woozy and well-produced affair. Opener "Now You're Gone" is a superb slice of atmospheric deep house with notable Balearic flourishes (dewy-eyed vocal samples, piano flourishes and so on), while the more boisterous - but White Isle terrace-friendly - closer "Can't Do Without" offers a pleasingly groovy fusion of jazz-funk and disco-house elements. Arguably best of all, though, is "The City", a baggy chunk of evocative, piano-heavy house dripping with Balearic intent.
Review: The fabulously named Bicente Milloto Da Palma has been releasing material under the Vhyce alias since the turn of the decade, mostly on digital imprints Club Sweat and No Brainer. Here he appears on Future Disco with the rather fine "Just to Make Me". It begins as a drowsy deep house chugger before blossoming into a spiraling, pandemonium-sparking chunk of disco-house brilliance complete with killer samples from a lesser-known disco-soul gem. In some respects, it has a similar feel and vibe to Tom Trago's much-loved (and rather brilliant) "Use Me Again". The headline remix comes from ONSRA, whose chunky, filter-heavy "French Touch" style tweak somehow makes a big track even bigger, though Till Von Sein's beautifully deep and dreamy rework is also superb.
