FORMAT:

DESCRIPTION:
4 trax of quality disco groovers.

The EP opens with a huge slice of organic jazzy US influenced garage in the shape of ‘Nothing Is The Same’ by the superbly talented Dominic Balchan. He’s a new name who has been making big waves recently. If you caught Domenic’s recent offering on TDR LTD 002 ‘A Touch of Jazz’ you will know what to expect. ‘Nothing Is The Same’ has a wonderfully classic feel which recalls the early days of the legendary Soulfuric imprint. A huge bassline is front and centre here providing the drive. It’s backed up by powerhouse keys and some wonderfully hooky vocals. Add in guitar licks and huge trumpet solos and this is one of the finest cuts you are likely to catch this year. Domenic is a talent to keep a close eye on that’s for sure.

Next up is Da Lukas, a highly rated producer hailing from Italy, a country which is currently serving up some of the finest disco and house out there right now. ‘Get Disco Vibes’ keeps the energy levels sky high. Featuring another unstoppable bassline it’s packed with brass stabs aplenty which will cause all sorts of dancefloor mischief. Laser synths, loopy vocals and club ready drums complete a track which has floor filler written all over it.

Co label head Moodena is up next keeping his golden 2021 run flowing nicely with the laid back groove of ‘Who Got The Key’s’. This one is a DJ’s dream with its effervescent keys, bubbling bass and 80’s synth stabs. It’s a track which has more than a touch of jazz running through its DNA creating a powerful and enticing sound. Expect this one to be a summer soundtrack at all the right parties.

Closing the EP out is Welsh producer Toby O'Connor. While Toby is another relatively new name on the scene he’s clearly a producer on a mission with a string of excellent releases landing over the last 12 months which have picked up some serious DJ support. ‘Low & Slow’ is every bit a Balearic gem with its wah guitars, hypnotic bassline and dreamy sax licks. It’s a track with 90’s jazz funk fusion running through its veins and is perfectly placed as the more organic edges of the genre come flooding back to entertain a whole now generation.

Tropical Disco Volume 21 takes you on a wonderful musical journey fusing classic US garage vibes with warm jazzy disco touches and plenty of sun soaked groove. It’s everything that club music needs to be right now as we head back to the dancefloor and look to renew and reaffirm our scene. Expect a colourful explosion of musical warmth which sees no boundaries as it unites sounds and scenes from across the musical globe.

Last FM Information on Moodena

Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
Moodena’s success over the last two years has been nothing short of prodigious. His meteoric rise to the top of both the digital and vinyl charts has all the hallmarks of a classic overnight success story. However, like the majority of such stories he has, in fact, earned his disco stripes the hard way, though years of non-stop effort. Delving a little deeper reveals that Moodena has, in fact, been working in the electronic music industry for 25 years. Notably he was co-founder of the hugely influential MN2S. Launched in 1995, initially with their now legendary club nights, MN2S went on to expand rapidly. They quickly ventured into all aspects of the music industry with their booking agency, record label and distribution company. Moving forward, 2018 proved to be a landmark year for Moodena. Invited to join Tropical Disco Records by friend Sartorial he quickly took on a variety of roles as partner, in-house producer and resident DJ. His first release for the label, ‘Strawberry Jam’, set the scene for what was to come. Included on ‘Tropical Disco Edit’s Vol. 4:Sound of the Summer’, it hit number one on both deejay.de’s vinyl chart and also the coveted Traxsource Nu Disco chart. DJ support was equally impressive with a long list of legendary selectors including Joey Negro, Danny Krivit, Chez Damier and Soul Clap all supporting. The EP went on to become the label’s biggest selling release of the year. Despite making his mark initially via the Nu Disco charts, Moodena is so much more than a one-genre producer. He has an extensive background in House music and that forms the building blocks for all of his productions which, much like his DJ sets, combine everything from Disco to Deep and Jazz to Soulful moments. Since Volume 4 Moodena has been an essential part of Tropical Disco Record’s output, appearing on every 12” to date as well as multiple digital-only releases. Having now built up an enviable following, Moodena has achieved many more vinyl and digital number ones as DJ’s and music-lovers alike continue to chase down his releases. Indeed his sales power is such that 2019 saw him crowned as the number one Nu Disco artist on Traxsource. Moodena has now clocked up seven number one’s in total on that platform alone. His recent release, ‘The Rattlesnake & The Ant’ recorded an extremely rare 25 consecutive days in the number one position. Stretching his wings, these last 12 months have seen Moodena in strong demand as a remix artist too. His powerhouse mix of Massiande for Midnight Riot recently hit the number one spot on Juno Download. With further remixes incoming for Joey Negro’s Z Records, Groove Culture and Glasgow Underground it’s looking to be a busy year ahead for Moodena. His chart-topping qualities have seen him become hugely sought after by those seeking to add his flair to some of the biggest artists out there. Despite such impressive studio prowess Moodena is perhaps most at home in the DJ booth where he brings his extensive musical knowledge and deep love of vinyl to the fore. Hugely adept at moving the dance floor, his residency for Tropical Disco at Number 90 has seen his reputation as a huge talent behind the decks spread quickly. This has led to high profile festival bookings and club tours across Europe & Asia and a South America Tour planned at the end of 2020. Read more on Last.fm.
