All the sounds and genres that make a porto-house, wigged-out disco digging, dance floor field happy. This VA release from Many Hands does what it says on the tin: edits, chops, and cut-ups from five artists - all paying homage to the more underground, balearic-driven sounds from the most left-field caverns of the club. Opener ‘Mun Plak Dee Na’ sounds like a deep, undiscovered no-wave dance track from early 80’s NYC, whilst Trujillo’s ‘Space Grace’ dreamily takes listeners on a nostalgic downtown journey of horns, smashing snares, and synth keys. Danny Russell’s ‘Space Race’ is all funk energy, dripping with vocal interplay that would put Bardot and Gainsbourg to shame. ‘KwaGuqa Baby’ is classic dusty funk & soul, and closer ‘Babylon Is Fallin’’ from Tom Bolas takes sped-up digital-dub to the mixing desk and runs it through some nice echo FX. DJ support from: Alex Nut (NTS), Charlie Bones (Do!You!!!), DJ Aficionado, Andy Pye & many more.
