GOURANGA MIXTAPE: Drop Out Orchestra's "Nu-Nu-Disco Mix" by Gouranga published on 2017-09-14T14:44:50Z Drop Out Orchestra: "We're so happy to hear the return of the old sounds in the new stuff coming out right now. The funk seems to be back on the scene, with storming releases by Jacques Renault and Yuksek & Fatnotronic really setting the standard. Our heart is definitely with the organic, less synthy part of the nu, so expect to hear more of that from us - as in the mix." 01. Cerrone - Hooked On You (The Reflex Revision) 02. The Rolling Stones - Miss You (Drop Out Orchestra Rework) 03. Yuksek & Fatnotronic - Bateu 04. Jacques Renault - Get Down 05. Copycat - November Nights 06. Colour Castle - Love Addict 07.

Martin Brodin - Overloaded It’s hardly a secret that over the past decade Scandinavia has been the epicenter of the nu-disco scene, artists like Lindstrom and Prins Thomas turning out release after release that looked to the cosmos, sparkling like exploding nebula. For Sweden’s Drop Out Orchestra though escape velocity could be found not on the launchpad but in the equally transcendent sweat filled club scene of New York in the late 70s. Taking their cues from original Disco pioneers such as MFSB as much as DFA, Drop Out Orchestra launched themselves onto the scene in 2008 with a seemingly endless supply of bootlegs, re-edits and covers that glittered like a frost covered mirror ball. Taking tracks by everyone from TLC and Daft Punk to Rick Astley and The Sex Pistols they transformed them into the kind of luxurious, gloriously sophisticated, and indeed soulful disco, that would have made Chic proud. With their irresistibly taut and funky bass lines, satin sheet strings and never too much cowbell, The Drop Out Orchestra found themselves in demand as official remixes for both club scene peers such as Black Strobe and Flight Facilities and industry legends like Paul Weller. Meanwhile not content with just making other people’s music 100% more disco, original tracks, including collaborations with Ronika and LCD Soundsytem’s Nancy Whang, on labels like Eskimo Recordings and Gomma cementing their position as ones to watch. Meanwhile whilst most their peers were transitioning to laptops and USB sticks, Drop Out Orchestra continue to bring live elements back into the dance music, not just in the studio but in the clubs too. Blurring the divide between live and DJ performances by incorporating live bass and electronics, a Drop Out Orchestra set is about as close to a guaranteed party starter as you’ll get in this business and seen them hand picked to play alongside everyone from Fatboy Slim to Gilles Peterson.
