What is Nu Disco?


\\xa0


To accompany the Birthday Boy on his ride. If I can\'t be there physically, let\'s at least be with you with my music...




Set should mark the start of a more progressive series, which might culminate into YET another Trance Mission..


What is Nu Disco? Beyond being a real annoyance as I hate adding genreS in my elaborate sorting algorithm, Nu Disco is the 21st century take on the late 70\\u2019s, 80\\u2019s Italo House disco sound. Imagine Studio 54 but\\u2026 today!


C&M Productions introduced me to that sound. My personal take on Nu Disco, the one I love, are tunes that insidiously make you want to dance by stealth. You are listening to progressive house and yet, through production, through samples, through ambience, you just get in the disco groove.


So resurrect up your comfy dancing shoes, dig up the glitter, get the talcum powder ready and have a boogie on me!

Highlights:




I will start with Purple Disco Machine (https://soundcloud.com/purplediscomachine) from Germany who might be the best thing that happened to Houser in 2014. Immaculate production, original tune and yet capturing perfectly that happy groove. Check out \\u201cIt\\u2019s on You\\u201d and \\u201cDeceiver\\u201d.


\\u201cGreece 2000\\u201d: I have always love this Trance anthem. The chords progression is a classic and Xtian did a fair job discofying it with the French vocal sample.


\\u201cSound of Silence\\u201d: truth be told it belonged to the previous set but somehow I completely screwed up the version that was upload, which by no means was the final one. I had done that set whilst travelling and got the indexing very wrong. As I did not want to let this orphan go to waste, I added some beats and included it here. Acid beat and progressive take on an immense late 60\\u2019s classic. Pretty proud to have found it! Might not be everyone\'s cup of tea, but for some it will be bliss..


\\u201cSupernaturish\\u201d: if one tune should epitomize what Nu Disco is and summarize what I have attempted it is this new take on Cerrone (French king of the electronic disco sound) Supernatural classic. And just in case you did not get the disco feel, Xtian had to mash it up with \\u201cI love America\\u201d.. The boy needs to have fun.


Wrapping the set up with an unreleased OtherSoul edit of Lana\\u2019s \\u201cVideo Games\\u201d fitting closing track as the Spaniards\\u2019 production give the sultry Lana\\u2019s voice a definite disco kick.

Hope you enjoy the Nu Disco venture. I should be back soon with more progressive sounds.
