'The Heat' is on this June for anyone with ballet and unicorn aspirations; or anyone that just wanna dance at the disco!



You may know Cisco Cisco from the recent compilation 'A Love from Outer Space' that featured their 'If You Want Me' as a Jay Shepheard Remix; a Compilation 15 years of Sean Johnston and the late Andrew Weatherall’s beloved club night.  But hang on - is 'Why Can't I Be You' the best nu-disco asorption of old-disco you've ever heard?

I might well be but it's got the female vocals, big strings and a house attitude so that's ticking quite a few of the essential boxes.  Throw in some synths, organ, hand claps and a big bass for the title track and you're got an must have EP in your hands already as "everyone wants to feel the heat".  And just for general 'big' tune bleep-bleep Roadrunner fans, 'Under The Bridge' is bangin' subterranean.

Apersonal's favourite Portuguese 'unicorns' have also done two remixes for Cale Parks' 'Chrispy Red' track and found favour with Ron Basejam and Rayko to remix their tracks on this EP and a rework by "Northern Legend", DJ Greg Wilson in the past.

There was a time about 10 years ago; would that be the 2nd wave of nu-disco perhaps, that you couldn't move for Rayko remixes (Ed. perhaps that should be, "you had to mover to"), especially on Nang often with Ilya Santana.  We'll he ain't stopped and if you're up for some Spanish Giorgio Moroder, that's the remix of 'The Heat' for you.

Similarly, Ron Basejam was a underground favourite of Gilles Peterson's Brownswood set up and the "UK disco Maestro" (also on Medlar's 'Islands Remixes' - see review HERE) has wobbled up the synths on his remix of 'Why Can't I Be You' (Ed. should that have been on  'A Love from Outer Space'?

'The Heat' is on, time to get hot!
