BENNY BLANCO® : BLANCODISCO » Nu Disco

Coolish Nu Disco Documentary I came across

bennyblanco — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 17:12:48 +0000

Found these clips while trying to search for some ‘Nu Disco’ blogs about the artists and this ‘scene’ where modern artists are kicking out retro sounding jams, be it originals or ‘re-edits’.

The vids feature interviews with artists Duncan who’s 1/2 of Mock & Toof, DJ Stephen of Aeroplane/Eskimo Recordings, Lindstrom from Norway and Steve Kotey of Chicken Lips/Bizarre Inc. It’s interesting how some still pray to the vinyl and others have moved on. But what I found most interesting is that the ‘scene’ more or less some say has grown specifically because of the use of the web. Blogs & Social Networks being the distribution networks but are still Die Hard enough to press up a few hundred to a couple of thousand on vinyl.

This month’s Part 1 of the September Sessions Feature the Allmighty Breakbeat for the most part. A mix of old funky breaks and some newer Nu School Breaks. Near the end of the hour, I begin to transition over to the housey retro electo disco funk sounds again. Some carry over of Vinyl I didn’t get too from Last Month. I think my favorite mix in this set goes from Fatboy Slim’s Everybody Needs a 303 into Mad Acid by Sanots. F’n On!
Okay, now let’s get to that Tracklist!
