Machinegewehr is Silas Schletterer. There’s something rather poetic about the start of his biography, as the man’s real name is just as super star if you ask us. Get ready for something pretty epic. It’s no secret you can wake us up for italo in all it’s glory. However, modern day italo can get either too retro or too clean machine, but this ‘Carradine’ release delivers on all fronts. Just released at beatport on Bordello A Parigi, our favourite italo disco imprint from the lowlands, and been buzzing around for quite some time. Mason brought it into the Dutch Disco office screaming and shouting a few months back, totally jealous he didn’t sign this to Animal Language. It’s a classic in the making we believe. The epic artwork is done by Machinegewehr himself too by the way, as being a painter is his other alter ego. Apart from being Silas Schletterer.

This mix of was recorded two weeks ago when we had our first Dutch Disco night outside of Amsterdam. All your heroes were present: Mason, Pin up club, 2CV, Teddy's Philly Sound, Quinten909.

And to top it of Aux and L'equipe du son who did this 90 minute back to back disco set together. If you listen carefully you can still hear the last seconds of Stevie Wonder's happy birthday fading out in the beginning of the mix. It was Mason's birthday and leave it to Aux to pick the birthday boys' favorite.

What a night, Subsonic is a gem of club in the city center of Groningen, a raw venue where everything goes. We still have sweet memories of sexy students with hot northern accents and Merlijn's special shots and magic cocktails.

Yes, we got hammered and the crowd went wild. <3

Rimer London we’d guess doesn’t care too much what you, your mama or this blog for that matter thinks about the stuff he releases. He’s like that of pre-occupied uncle that does whatever he does in that garden shed.  If you’re looking to show off to your dj friends with a smashing dj tool stop reading here. If you’re looking to show off to your music loving slightly particular friends, do read on.... 

Cause this is one brilliant EP. Two tracks of his 5-tracker stands out here at Dutch Disco. ‘Cherry Boobs’ a very friendly bit of harmonic synth repetition that just doesn’t bore. And it’s called Cherry Boobs which might be a USP for the stoners amongst you cause it actually has boobs in the title.  ‘Close My Eyes’ is a very touching and intimate song he made with fellow Amsterdam native Sofie Winterson and is rather brilliant. Special props to the synth solo outro. Go add this EP to your musical arsenal, you won’t regret.    Out now:  http://bit.ly/17psStH

Another episode in the kraver '84 remix series. This time the boyz picked up a track by Kyla la Grange, called the knife.

To be frank, we never heard of this chick, but Kraver used her angel like voice to the max.

An '84 version means adding that cool and playful synth vibe (a Kraver trademark), that makes the original smoother and funkier.

While you are at it, check out there '84 ninetoes and daft punk upgrades as well.

Yes, this free download is Dutch Disco approved.

After his album ZOA, Mason is back again with another killer EP.
Of the 2 originals (Calabrese and Palmetto) and 1 remix package, Calabrese is our pick. We heard this track for the first time last saturday when Mason was dominating Paradiso Amsterdam.

Hearing the word calabrese, makes you dream of the warm sunny south part of italy, the fantastic nero d’avola in the hand, eating a tagliate di manza while watching out on the tyrrhenian sea. The truth though, is that this song has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with that. On the contrary, this one is not for the faint hearted. This one needs a warning on the leaflet. Don’t ever push the playbutton before you made sure your pacemaker is working correctly.

But holy F$&#CK you get a lot of it in return. The groovy beat, jackin noise and horn on the afterbeat build and build. All the way up to utter crazyness. Then ultimately, the drop...

And out of nowhere, a quirky and catchy melody makes it's entry.

For a moment we are back on that italian terrace sipping our fabulous red wine. Birds in the background, dreaming away in romanesque times…. Until that horn smacks us back in reality, as if it was the recently build highway right next to our terrace. BAM. 
A blast. that’s what it is. A party crusher. And we love that. No doubt, Dutch Disco Approved.

SHMLSS are on a roll. After numerous originals they now enter the new year guns blazing, with a rework of one of Cerrone’s classics ‘Cerrone’s Paradise’.  It sounds like a warm bath without that annoying soap smell, organic and far away from anything too digital and over processed. We could play it on repeat here glued to our headphones. But we’re not going to, because that would probably become uncomfortable after a few hours (due to lack of sleep, food, water and what not). But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go out and get this bit of true disco. Unless cold and unfriendly music is more your cup of tea, stay away from this one then.

We got a Double Dutch present for you. And it’s free for download, which makes it even more Dutch. Silhouette label head honcho l’Equipe Du Son made a bootleg of ‘Love Buzz’ by one of Holland’s most important acts of the last century Shocking Blue. It’s bald, big beat acid action, straight fro the Bijlmer, and we love it here at Dutch Disco headquarters.
