Review: Four tracks of heavily electronic disco make up this latest V/A collection from Rakyo's Rare Wiri stable. Ilya Santana gets the ball rolling with the ominous, cinematic 'After Dark', before Kay-chi & Keymon drag us onto the early 80s dancefloor with 'Patches Of Light' feat Kally Voo. The label boss himself then steps up with 'Relax Your Body', which looks to styles like cosmic disco, EBM and Belgian new beat for inspiration, before the EP's completed by MR Gee's 'Under The Moonlight', which opens with a mood-setting manic cackle then breaks out into something of a moody, midtempo synth epic.
Review: It's hard to find a more original mid-west American sound than that of the don Kai Alce. Responsible for the NDATL Muzik label, and with records on FXHE and Mahogani Music across his career - he now lands in mainland Europe for a fully fledged release on Munich originating label Toy Tonics! Getting wavey with Rhodes and synthy sax in "Slide It In", Alce keeps it spacey, jazzy and sketchy in "Space Skat N Dat". Dryer keys make it to the front of some shuffling percussion in "New Life Livin", with heavier deep house vibes landing in "Rough Sands". And for that bonus rhythm section, check out the instrumental that is "Strollin Thru Barcelona".
