Track Of The Day 13/9 – Luca C & Brigante

Sun Kissed Italo Grooves

Disco sucks!

But not in our house. The disco revival has turned received wisdom about that most maligned of genres on its head, helping to expose a fresh audience to some unjustly neglected sounds.

Take Italo: at the time, Italo Disco was largely pushed to the sidelines, viewed as a novelty. Now crate diggers have unearthed a new seam of electronic music, turning forgotten 12 inches into priceless rarities.

Just as well a new breed of producers are churning out some quality sounds. Taking their cue from vintage Italo, Luca C & Brigante have earned a sterling reputation for producing cosmic sounds.

Releasing a string of 12s, Luca C & Brigante are now counting down towards their new album. ‘Luca C & Brigante present… Invisible Cities’ is set to be released on October 3rd, a varied showcase for the talented duo.

Southern Fried will handle the release, with Luca C & Brigante veering between the cocaine numb of Italo and a blissed out Balearic high. Delving into the roots of dance music, the production team seem to have emerged reinvigorated.

Last year’s ‘Edits EP’ was a suitably energy charged primer. Only giving a limited edition pressing, the EP has long since sold out and don’t expect to see it on record shelves any time soon.

Lead cut ‘Lucio’ is a piece of filthy, pounding Italo production. Today’s Track Of The Day, you can download it for free…
