Last year German dance label Compost Records set about rediscovering some lost European disco classics with their first Elaste compilation.
2008 sees the release of volume two but a pre-Christmas treat is this preview EP featuring three superb tracks. First, and best, is the slick, low-key funk of Belgium’s Two Men Sounds. Their 1979 track, Que Tal America?, is an epic disco gem that oozes Latin charm and still sounds fresh. Gluckskugel, by the duo Panoptikum, is a gripping reworking of some early techno from Swiss composer Bruno Spoerri, while final track Nepa Dance Dub is a minimal Afro-dub piece from the mid-80’s.
