Disco is not dead. Which is a shame. Montreal duo Chromeo are the latest group to contribute their mostly disco-oriented record collection to the !K7 collection. The first since Booka Shade’s 2007, this collection represents an uninspiring return for the usually strong label that gave us the classic Kruder & Dorfmeister mix.
The mix rolls in at just under one hour and features the kitsch likes of Toba (Movin’ Up), Lovelock (Maybe Tonight) and Leo Sayer (Easy to love). For those seeking a mix that dwells in the chic, spinning light of an ‘80s glitter ball whilst suspect funk is churned out by an aging DJ in danger of falling asleep – this record is the one that you must immediately pick up.
But, ironically, this is an hour’s worth of records that most people would rather not hear. Ever.
