Review: This 1984 single by Italo-disco duo Fokewulf 190 stands out from the crowd. Instead of the usual arpeggiated basslines of Italo-disco, it throws in a bubbly synth groove reminiscent of electrofunk. Layered on top are sharp synthesizer melodies with a new wave influence, atmospheric chords, a winding synth-saxophone, and energetic, heavily accented vocals. The singer, originally uncredited, was none other than future Italian synth-pop star Fred Ventura in his early days. Despite its unconventional elements, the track remains timeless. This quality makes it the perfect foundation for remixes by DJ Tin Tin and Flemming Dalum. Their approach is respectful, adding a touch of modern production without compromising the original's core sound. Interestingly, the remixes might even enhance the original. The stripped-down elegance and driving rhythm of the Fokewulf 190 version become even more striking when placed next to the updated soundscapes. This is a release that caters to both fans of classic Italo and those who enjoy modern interpretations of the genre.
Review: Swiss producer Jimi Jules has a small but perfectly formed discography. Within it, you'll find collaborations with Berlin-based big hitter Oliver $, as well as releases on both Defected and Watergate. Equinox is his debut album, and sees him successfully expand his musical repertoire beyond the club-ready deep house he's known for. Thanks to the use of musicians - drummers, guitarists and such-like - there's a loose, warm and quietly soulful feel throughout. Highlights include the dusty, tech-tinged deep house shuffle of the effortlessly soulful "Lost Love", the head-nodding, trumpet-laden modern soul warmth of "Too Young For Me", the Innervisions style atmosphere of "Truth Light", and the dubby, dusty-eyed stumble of immaculate closer "Sirup".
