It would appear that if you want to stay prominent in the ever-expanding, mirror-ball movement of current Disco, then you have to release a monthly mix of your favourite tracks to showcase your sound. And hey, we're not complaining! Receiving impeccable mixes from the likes of Aeroplane, Mighty Mouse & The Magician are a welcome fixture in our inbox.
Here, Belgium duo Villa give us an hour of smooth-grooving, mid-tempo delights which delve deep through sparkling synths, moving piano chords and funk-frivolous basslines. What seems to be the current trend in 'Disco' at the moment is the exceptionally broad range of sounds & styles producers are adapting to it. In this mix, we hear everything ranging from eccentric, future soundscapes (Acid Washed & Etienne De Crecy), dreamy, floating pianos (Chilly Gonzales & Black Van), plus super fresh, sophisticated power-pop (Adele & Lykke Li). Villa are perhaps two of our favourite producers in this constantly developing genre and we personally regard their work as utterly mesmerising (look out for their forthcoming remix of Yeasayer - it's astonishing). 2011 is undoubtedly going to be a great year for them, and what a way to start...
P.S Enjoy the current simplicity of Soundcloud streaming while you can, by all accounts the company is currently harvesting copyright violations.
