Excursions レコード& CD

Review: The love of all things Soviet and disco has been established by French/German duo Fulgeance and Scientist for several years now, having reached a peak last year with their album The Soviet Tape on First Word. Now they return with their own edit series on brand new label Excursions. With eyes squared fully on the floor, each obscurity is given some serious groove muscle for the floor... Charaunitsy's soulful croons and yearning horns are given an additional kick/snare swing, Latvia's Mirdza gets a deliciously camp turbo charge while Ukraine's Tatyana Kochergina gets a full-on Philly treatment with lavish strings and a bassline that won't say nyet.

Review: The Excursions crew have prepped another solid release right here, a bunch of glorious Turkish funk edits by the mysterious Halal Cool J. We love the name and all, but it's the cuts that we're vibing too, especially seeing as we're big into our 70s Turkish culture here at Juno HQ; just take a look at our charts and you'll find everyone from Baris Manco, to Erkin Koray and Erkut Tackin. From "Visne Nektari" to "Fenerbache Heat", you'll be glad to know that gear is 100% club-proof and utterly in line with the quality of that 70s material... it just has a little more oomph to its beats now.
