Review: Bondax's "Journey" on Future Disco isn't just an album title, it's an experience. This LP marks a decade in the game for the UK dance duo, and "Journey" reflects that beautifully. It's a blend of their signature sounds with fresh influences, all wrapped in a future-disco sheen. The album kicks off with the previously-released banger "Don't Want It," setting the pace with driving rhythms and those classic Bondax synths. Tracks like "I Only Have You" showcase their versatility, featuring smooth vocals from Eno Williams that blend seamlessly with their sonic palette. A true highlight is "Fade" featuring SHELLS. Flanging guitars and entrancing beats create a mesmerizing soundscape, perfectly embodying the album's exploration of diverse sounds. "Yabaal to London" is another winner, a funky fusion of 80s disco and modern production with the Dur-Dur Band. It's impossible not to move to this one. It's a genre-bending album that pays homage to disco's roots while offering a fresh, modern take. Packed with infectious beats, captivating vocals, and stellar production, this album is a guaranteed dance floor filler and a must-listen for fans of electronic music with a touch of nostalgia.
Review: "Gentle Riot," a collaborative effort between Sasha Rome, Artemis Orion, and Mayari on the Future Disco label, is a genre-bending exploration of empowerment and self-acceptance. This single transcends the boundaries of traditional disco, offering a unique blend of electronic soundscapes, soulful vocals, and empowering lyrics. The track opens with a deceptively gentle introduction, featuring shimmering synths and a steady bassline. As the song progresses, the energy builds, with pulsating drums and driving percussion taking center stage. This juxtaposition between the "gentle" and the "riot" perfectly captures the essence of the title, highlighting the power of quiet strength and inner resilience. Well-crafted and engaging single that delivers a powerful message wrapped in a delightful sonic experience.
Review: The nu-disco loving bods at Future Disco are (rightly) fans of Brooklyn band Supertaste's 2023 single 'Is It Enough' - so much so, in fact, that they've decided to reissue it with a brand-new rework from rising star Austin Ato. The band's original version (track two) is naturally superb; a kind of 2023 take on fellow NYC outfit Midnight Magic with added nu-disco electronics, kaleidoscopic synths and wobbly synth-bass. On his remix, Ato re-casts the track as a rushing, immersive, stab-happy slab of nu-disco/deep house fusion. It sounds like a 2024 summer anthem in the making, complete with sing-along choruses and potential hands-in-the-air moments.
