ALKALINO レコード& CD

Review: Lisbon bred, Munich dwelling Lino Rodrigues aka Alkalino, began DJing in the late 80's. Skip forward almost 30 years, through countless worldwide residencies and numerous vinyl and digital releases and we find him at the top of the international disco/nu-disco edit craze - with releases on multiple labels such as KAT, Wall Of Fame and Whiskey Disco. Further proof of the guy's expertise is the fact that he'll be a guest at Ableton's massive LOOP summit in Berlin this year. He returns to his esteemed Audaz imprint for the fourth edition of his Reworks series. You can count on the guy to deliver 'respectful edits' much in the vein of Jkriv, Sleazy McQueen or Late Night Tuff Guy. Starting off with a known deep disco joint that's been ergonomically retuned for modern dancefloors on "Need Some Love" while "Break Out" delivers some always handy soul power (on the funky tip) to get some hands in the air. On the flip, we've got some sultry Brazilian vibes on "Mandinga" which is your secret weapon for next Summer's round of open air parties.
