She was totally my disco muse
Anna, due, tre, quattro; that's right, get ready for Moodclub Music number four! This time, our Belgian friends teamed up with New York based Sleazy McQueen, Cole Medina from California and LA's Anne Montone for two pieces of sexy, slow paced basement disco. Sleazy? You said it! Sleazy McQueen is the force behind this transglobal collaboration. His computer and keyboards have signed releases on quality labels like Bear Funk, Eight-Tracks, Morris Audio, Hairy Claw, Icon Recordings and Bananza Records, whereas his record bag has found occasion to travel to Chicago, New York, Tokyo, Florence and London. He also heads up the Brooklyn based Tres Gueros band. LA's Anne Montone has just won the Scion singing competition and is currently getting high praise by big names in the music scene. And finally there's Cole Medina, a true underground hero and a mystero to many, although his name regularly pops up in Todd Terje or Prins Thomas playlists, to name a few. Especially known for his versatile edits, more material from him is forthcoming on Prins Thomas' Internasjional label, but first, this mindblowing original work on the Moodclub Music imprint. Did we say original work? Well, maybe not quite. Because, as it turns out, this EP is sort of a unique three-way collaboration between the three artists. The first track of the package is Cole Medina's Vocal Mix. You see, right after Sleazy McQueen's Original Dub was written, Cole Medina remixed it into a new instrumental. It was Mr. Sleazy who came to the conclusion that Cole's great piece of spaced out, slow motion disco would shine through even more with the addition of Anne Montone's dreamy vocal, weaving it into the track himself. The result is an intense piece of contemporary disco music, for lovers and for dancers. The second track on offer is Sleazy's Original Dub, as mentioned above. This instrumental version features a sub heavier low bottom, Ray Mang sounding percussion and an overall slightly housier feel, making this one the perfect transition between italo, disco or cosmic stuff and rougher sounds. You've guessed it, one for the more adventurous, eclectic jocks. According to the legend, Sleazy composed the synths on a keyboard he'd borrowed from a friend called Anne, stating she was ''totally his disco muse''. We'd love to tell you more, but it's probably none of our business anyway. But then, if you just have a listen, we're pretty sure you'll get the idea right away.
