Mount Kimbie – Bells_5 – 2016
Dominic Maker and Kai Campos from Mount Kimbie are big figures in the Electronic music world, but this particular gem might have gone under the radar for some. Slightly more uptempo than their usual productions, the energy slowly building in the song gives an incredible feeling. You have to give it to the Brits that…

Neue Deutsche Wahrheit – Distance – 2019
A quite appropriate jam in these times of social distancing. I have discovered by chance this funky duo last summer in Berlin and they did a killer show. “Distance” was the cherry on top of their performance. The 80’s synths production is on point and it takes some talent to make German sounds so catchy…

Peter M – Let’s Go Dancing – 1985
Amazing song from one of my favourite Bubblegum album, discovered thanks to the legendary DJ Okapi and its Afrosynth Blog. It is a perfect representation of the essence of Bubblegum music, a fine blending of American influences of Funk / Disco and African rhythmics. Sadly, Peter M shared the same fate than many Bubblegum bands,…

Wet – That’s The Game (Instrumental) – 1983
Featured in the brilliant documentary “The Sound Of Belgium”, this song is a prime example of the music coming from Belgium during the 80’s. The production sounds quite similar to Italo but it has an interestingly darker tone, especially on the vocal version. Discogs : https://www.discogs.com/Wet-Thats-The-Game/release/295919

Badou – Zena (Dub Version) – 1989
Pretty much unknown “one hit” band, this song was released on a French label 30 years ago, and no information about the band seemed to have survived online. A pity considering the production potential shown in this release with those infectious synths! Discogs : https://www.discogs.com/Badou-Zena/master/413113
