DESCRIPTION:
4 Tracks - 4 Artits of Nu-disco / Deep HouseTwenty Vinyl releases is a strong landmark in any labels life most especially in these ever unpredictable days. Tropical Disco Records have reached that number with some verve. Over the last three years they have had a succession of chart-topping, sell-out releases fusing their love of the Jazzier edges of house music with contemporary disco and plenty of sure-fire club hits. So successful has the label been that they have in a short space of time that they have quickly become one of the most established labels releasing across the disco spectrum.
As you would expect Tropical Disco Records have put together a very special collection of tracks to celebrate their twentieth edition. Uniting Italian producer Paul Older with England’s Tung-Sol, Greek disco don C. Da Afro and London’s label head Sartorial the EP marks all points on the European compass. It’s an EP which shows the clear impact that Disco has had across the continent and indeed that we are all united by the power of music.
The opening move goes to Paul Older with his delightful track ‘Nothing’ and it’s the perfect feel-good moment. Wonderfully warm vocals, layers of Saxophone, guitar licks aplenty and some tight drum programming give it an energetic live feel as if Salsoul’s band are playing this in the corner of your club. ‘Nothing’ is a track which transcends pigeon holing and as such is perfect for a variety of situations from sun soaked day parties to peak-time dance-floors.
Tung-Sol’s ‘One for Frida’ is packed with layers of brass giving it a truly enigmatic feel. It’s a track which has discernible African overtones but as seen through the lens of American funk and transcribed by a disco loving auteur. Its effervescent feel is hammered home even further with the addition of Jazzy keys. ‘One For Frida’ is as multicultural a track as you will find in the Disco pantheon and as such will see this picked up by a multitude of genre hopping DJ’s.
‘Shiva’s Chant’ see’s label co-boss Sartorial adding Eastern influences to what is already a globe trotting selection of sounds on Volume 20. Its smooth keys and brass stabs give it an undeniable charm which will see it in heavy demand with sun worshiping DJ’s and for summer playlists alike. Sitars, guitars and trumpets combine here for an intoxicating mix of sounds which help this track stand out from the crowd.
Closing the EP out is perhaps Disco’s most prolific producer C. Da Afro. His sure hands deliver yet another club smash in the shape of Street Jam. Powerful strings immediately establish this as a track which has no intention of letting you do anything other than dance with abandon. It’s a straight to the dance-floor combination of percussion, guitar licks and delightfully effusive vocals. Combining the best moments of 70’s disco he’s crated a sensational club jam.
With their twentieth release Tropical Disco Records continue to redefine the notions of what disco is in 2020. With releases this exciting we can’t wait for the next twenty.

Last FM Information on Sartorial
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
As co-owner of Tropical Disco Records alongside Moodena, Sartorial is a man with music coursing through his veins. Buying his first set of Technics in 1997 he has never looked back. From his first residency at Tempo at Dogstar In Brixton, then an underground venue of high regard, right through to running Tropical Disco Records, music has been the guiding light in his life.
Growing up as part of London’s burgeoning DnB scene he played at landmark events all over the city studying some of the doyens of the scene in Andy C, LTJ Bukem and Roni Size as he learned both his DJ and production craft.
Across the years his love of music imbued with soul and funk saw him gravitate towards house and disco scene citing Louie Vega and Joey Negro as latter day influences. For Sartorial it was only a matter of time before he put all of this accrued knowledge and experience to work. It led to the launch of Tropical Disco Records in 2017. Starting out as a radio show with Sartorial presenting it would quickly develop into a club night and then the record label that we all know and love today.
Tropical Disco Records was an immediate success. Sartorial's elegant production style captured the imagination of both Jamie Jones and The Black Madonna who would support his tracks on Radio 1 on the legendary Essential mix and covering Giles Peterson’s show respectively.
Seizing his opportunities Sartorial has never looked back. He has become one of the most crucial producers on the disco scene with his success mirrored by that of the label. Consistent digital number 1’s and chart topping sell-out vinyl releases have followed him across the last whirlwind two years. By the end of 2019 his sales power was such that he landed firmly in Traxsource’s coveted top selling Nu Disco artists of the year list at an impressive number 6.
Sartorial’s first love as a DJ too has seen him build on Tropical Disco’s club events which now holds down a residency at London’s Number 90 and has also sold out Night Tales. There are also regular appearances at the fabled Ministry of Sound. Sartorial now appears beside those key figures in the scene recently sharing the bill with Roy Davis Jr, Glenn Underground, Marshall Jefferson, Joey Negro and the Shapeshifters as a co-headliner. The festival shows too have flooded in from across Europe with recent appearances at 51st State Festival, Geneva Dance Festival and Noisily.
As a DJ he is at home behind the decks easily able to craft his set to the venue and crowd whilst as a producer he has years of experience but with a guiding principle to never stop learning and having fun in the studio. It’s safe to say that for Sartorial and Tropical Disco Records their place of dominance in the disco scene is assured for years to come.
And that trusty set of Technics? They are still part of his setup today. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
