Italo-Disco US 1985 NM

Italian twosome Gino and Dino (that's G&D to you and me) have released some of the most on-point and well-crafted re-edits of recent times. Their EPs are always worth a look, and this one - the first of two featuring other editors alongside the popular duo - is no exception. They begin on side A with 'PeeGee870', a fine version of a low-slung, synth-sporting Italian disco chugger from (we think) the turn of the 1980s, before moving on to the eyes closed disco bliss of 'understanding', where heady lead vocals and sweeping orchestration catches the ear. Over on side B, the previous unheard G.Bros and In.an offer up their 'Balearic' edit of 'Polpette', joining the dots between laidback, loved-up disco, quirky Balearic colour and huggable dancefloor lusciousness.

G&D back with their 7th release of edit series. Limited press to 300 handwritten numbered copies. No Repress. Various Artists for fantastic edit label, here a GUEST SPECIAL EDITION for fired dancefloor as usual. Essential !! Supported around the world by the best Disco Djs.

G&D

Cat: G12

Earlier in the year, Ewan McVicar and Steven Simpson made their debut as Granary 12 as part of a collaborative, single-sided 12" with Weapons of Desire regular Auto Sound City. This then is their solo debut, a three-track missive primed for peak-time plays. The duo successfully sets the tone with "Diga", an intoxicating blend of rugged analogue electronics, thumping beats, swirling vocal samples, psychedelic acid lines and layered hand percussion, before ratcheting up the intensity on mind-altering jack-track "Brasserrie". Over on side B it's all about "Acid Freq", a thrillingly intense acid techno romp where raw, razor sharp TB-303 lines attack the senses in seemingly endless waves.
