What is this summer of heatwaves missing? Of course, the first in a new series of 12" releases of "pan-European disco and Neapolitan funk" curate by Batov Records head honcho and king of the B-sides (in Soho), DJ Kobayashi.
Jiri Jiri, formed by members of Muito Kaballa and YĪN YĪN, have a Afro-disco synch boogie for 70s Italo Balearics on a sun drenched euro-Studio 54. The vocals are a bit Euro Hall & Oats etc which is always on point but the instrumental Lumo Luvva is modern warp (in a hot way) of Southern Freez / Shakatak jazz-funk.
Condensing Euro Nettuno & Bruno Belissimo's 'Bruno Boogie' (see review HERE) and Gabriele Poso's 'Ritmo Italiano' 'Unspoken Sounds of Italian Tamburo' compilation (see review HERE), this is going to be a series you'll want to collect and play out.
