Place For Me / Chinese Electro

12" : £ 6.99

Autodiscotheque return with a mighty release by one of their favourite maverick producers and DJs Danny Berman. With releases on Tirk, Untracked, Deep Freeze and Society, Danny has made a big impression with his mixed up approach to production and DJing. From the wonky house of the Hot Coins material, to the more classically Detroit outings under his Red Rack’em moniker, Danny is a music lover with an ear for the not so obvious and the left of centre musical territory. On this release which features both his musical personas simultaneously, the idea was to truly represent the difference between the Red Rack'em and Hot Coins sounds on a single release, and to recreate an intense peak time feeling, but to do it from these two completely different scenes. "Place For Me" is Detroit inspired heads down, cut up Motown soul business, which pays homage to one of Danny’s favourite producers Moodymann, and fits perfectly into that crossover space between slo-mo House and disco. "Chinese Electro" on the flip however, references that authentic early 80's new wave electro sound, and is influenced by Yellow Magic Orchestra and recordings from new wave radio shows like Belgium’s Liaison Dangereuses. It’s the kind of track that sounds like you might have heard it on a Baldelli mix from '81.
