Black Harmala Disco Club (Cornelius Doctor & Tushen Rai remix) - (6:33) 60 BPM
Kadikoy (Leonor remix) - (5:04) 112 BPM
Review: Sufi bangers and Turkish psychedelic delights from the Stockholm-based new power duo Acid Hamam & Nasiri on TOM TOM DISCO - earth bound label for spaced-out people. Features the moody dancefloor drama of "Blac Harmala Disco Club" drawing you deep into the exotic with its middle eastern aesthetic, not to mention Cornelius Doctor & Tushen Rai's fierce EBM styled rework. There's also the lo-slung punk-folk of "Kadikoy" which gets remixed by Leonor which is in true cosmo-psychedelic fashion. Frequencies from the heart. 100% party proof.
Review: Tom Tom mainman Rossa sends back two bulletins from the furthest reaches of the (new) disco frontier, while Theus Mago, Leonor and Mijo provide a remix apiece. 'Man Zufuh' in its Original form is a slo-mo chugger with influences from both African music and 80s synth-pop, while Mago's remix ups the pace and adds a headnodding bassline, making this mix the more obvious pick for dancefloor play. The equally out-there 'Phanteon' comes on like a collision between minimal and cosmic disco, while a wonked-out rerub from Mijo takes us firmly into late-night territory and Leonor provides an atmospheric alternate take.
Review: Italian producer Guxi (or Matteo Rama, if you prefer) serves up a four-track EP for Swedish label Tom Tom Disco that's very much the proverbial game of two halves, Brian. 'Papua' and 'Asmat' itself are slo-mo cuts that take us deep into the Afro zone, but then we come to 'El Tigre', which maintains the Afro feel but ups the pace considerably while adding a serious dollop of bottom-end funk. Frank Agrario then completes the EP with a remix of 'El Tigre' that sports a tougher kick and tech-house percussion, making this EP a solid bet whether you're after downtempo or more club-friendly grooves.
Review: It's here! Stockholm's Richard Rossa aka Tom Tom Disco presents eight tracks of deadly, hot, cosmic grooves that are equal parts deep and psychedelic but above all: spiritual! Some of his beloved label's top signings strut their stuff on This Is Tom Tom Disco Vol 05. Some deep and cosmic nu-disco courtesy of Sano on "El Sano", some Middle Eastern exotica on the esoteric "Hazhid Asara" by Acid Hamam and some proper Italo vibes by Tony Disco on "Disco Solar" - one of the compilation's standout moments. Rest assured that label head honcho Richard Rossa represents here too (and is on point as always) with the dusty, boogie down antics of "Discow Ztrummer" which will surely have you gettin' down!
