From House To Disco – Disco House For All EP (Blunted Summies,Wax Fruit, Las Americas, Barada)

注目の女性デュオFrom House To Discoが名門Definitive Recordingsに残されたBlunted Dummies「House For All等のハウス・クラシックをセレクト～リミックス！

From House To Discoは、ハウスの歴史を深く研究し、フレッシュなプロダクションで知られる注目の女性デュオ。ブラジルのRenato Cohenが注目し、彼のMassa RecordsやGet PhysicalのCOCADA Musicでリリース。今回はDefinitive Recordingsのカタログから4曲をリミックスしたEPを発表。このEPは、12曲入りの『Disco House For All』コンピレーションにも収録される。

まず、Blunted Dummiesの「House For All」を強烈なハウストラックに再構築。オールドスクールのシンセスタブと低音の効いたベースラインが特徴。Las America's「Look, Listen, Love」のリミックスでは、シカゴのスワッガーを感じさせるドラム、誘惑的なヴォーカル、そしてアナログなベースラインを融合。Wax Fruitの「Be Yourself」には、深みのあるスタイリッシュなツイストを加え、哀愁漂うパッドと優しいピアノがソウルフルな響きを持たせている。最後はBaradaの「Gasoline」を再解釈し、ドライブ感のあるディープハウスに仕上げた。

From House To Disco is a hotly tipped all-female duo known for their fine taste in records, in-depth research into house history and fresh productions. They have been tipped as ones to watch by Brazilian tastemaker Renato Cohen and have released on his Massa Records as well as Get Physical's COCADA Music. Now they tap into the esteemed Definitive Recordings catalogue and add their own spin to four tracks which make up this EP, which will also be included on the 12-track 'Disco House For All' compilation which includes more key selections from the label.

First up, they tackle Blunted Dummies's 'House For All' and flip it into a thumping house cut with old-school synth stabs and a low-slung bassline. Their remix of Las America's 'Look, Listen, Love' brings jacked-up drums with plenty of original Chicago swagger, seductive vocals and a raw analogue bassline. The duo then bring a deep and stylish twist to Wax Fruit's 'Be Yourself', which has rueful pads that encourage you to gaze off into the distance, lost in thought, while the tender piano chords bring extra soul. Last of all is their fresh remix of Barada's 'Gasoline', which is a driving deep house gem with neon chord vamps and another timeless bassline.
