New York City darling Pal Joey is back with a new project called Walk The Dog and new single ‘I Can’t’. The original mix finds Pal Joey in classic form beating things down with unexpected change ups, complex harmonic arrangements and enough bass and drive to keep the party jumpin’. Brooklyn’s Innergaze, with recent releases on Cititrax/Minimal Wave and 100% Silk, take things in a decidedly deeper, dubbier direction keeping in tune with the vibe on their most recent album ‘Mutual Dreaming’. Then holding things up in the rear are two mixes from Xapy Ha, the production team of label head Sean Holland and studio partner James ‘General’ Patton. These two brought you the B for Bad remixes on ‘Shake Dat Booty’, the first Coco Machete release, and Pal Joey production, ten years ago this June. This IS, New York City, this IS Coco Machete.
We’re back with another round; ‘This is Coco Machete No.2’, featuring recent Coco Machete smashes and exclusive tracks from hot new artists you have to hear. Debra Dolce & Noize Invaders, Ostblockschlampen, Dirty Disco Youth & Fukkk Offf keep pounding with their bombastic style and fashion. Then six exclusive tracks featuring the Chicago influenced sound of Teenage Mutants, the ruffneck attack of All Guns Blazing, deep-deep elctro from Don Serata, Nadisko’s dept-charge ‘Abyss’, the space disco of ‘Starlab’ from Fair Play Knight and so Da-Da dance grooves from Spencer Product on Marcel Duchamp. An eclectic mix that can only come from one source, of course, This is Coco Machete…No.2
Stereofunk, The guy from Dresden, is back with his second attack. Following his stunning debut album ‘Fools Planet’, and releases on Moonbootique, Freakz Me Out and his own imprint Klang Gymnastik, it’s time for ‘Radio Robotic’, on New York City’s Coco Machete Records. ‘Radio Robotic’, features a colorful cast of guest features from Television Records’ Maral Salmassi, Coco Machete’s D’ Secret SVC & Razor Cain as well as Stereofunk’s own discovery Miu. Combine that with Stereofunk’s reverence for 80s disco, original electro, retro lounge and club rockin’ house music this new album takes you on a shimmering tour of synthetic nightlife through the ages. The first three tracks, ‘Senseless’, ‘Night & Day’ and ‘Brasina’ get the part started anchored by Maral’s infectious hook of ‘All I Want is You, All Night & Day’. Things get a touch more jazzy and downtempo on ‘In Me’ but it’s only a warm up for the electro hip hop grooves of ‘Livin’ My Life’ and ‘Get Off’ featuring two of Coco Machete’s premier rappers Razor Cain & D’ Secret SVC. ‘Disco to Disco’, ‘El Patron’ and ‘Shooting Star’ are for the late night club heads with ‘El Patron’ being the peak hour hands-in-the-air floor filler. The afterparty starts with ‘So Many Times’, a vocal slice of deep electro for dancing with your eyes closed. Closer ‘Sleepless in Rome’ evokes the feeling of laying awake in your hotel room, half dreaming, neon lights dimming and the sun beginning to rise.
Stereofunk, The guy from Dresden, is back with a new single on Coco Machete Records called ‘El Patron’. This is the second single from his upcoming full length album ‘Radio Robotic’ due out next month. ‘El Patron’, following last summer’s smash ‘Get Off’ featuring D’ Secret SVC, is all hands-in-the-air, revved up dance floor sensuality for the electro disco generation. Between the funk bass line, rising pianos, italo synths and imperative vocals, ‘El Patron’ just won’t let up until you’re hooked. ‘El Patron’ is the boss. But that’s it for now folks, we hope you’ve enjoyed this sneak peek, stay tuned next month for more ‘Radio Robotic.
Fukkk Offf’s Bastian Heerhorst and Dirty Disco Youth’s Phil Speiser team up to drop a bomb on Coco Machete Records and the world at large. With two equally devastating tracks the ‘Nuclear War Disaster’ EP delivers on its promise of total devastation. Both tracks attack, drive, squelch and pound in ways only these two artists can only to be released by an overture worthy enough to ride with the Valkyries. I think it’s time to head to the shelter!
