Love On The Line Crazy P |
| Despite being the passion of bearded, crate digging record geeks and bit-part 'Simpsons' characters alike, Disco has somehow risen to be become the coolest sound in club land in the past three years. Whether it's the dreamy Balearic works of Scandinavians Lindstrom and Todd Terje, The New York Punk Funk of LCD Soundsytem and Hercules & Love Affair or the rehashing of long forgotten Boogie gems via the currently burgeoning disco re-edits scene, the influence of Disco is once again making itself felt. One group that's been providing Disco beats before they were the toast of Hoxton is Nottingham based Crazy P who have been revisiting the 70's sounds of Philadelphia and NYC since 1996. Now with their latest single 'Love On The Line' Crazy P look to build on the success of their previous work which earned them a seemingly permanent slot on Pete Tong’s show and a major following in Australia – despite being largely overlooked on home turf. 'Love On The Line's' musical features could have been prised wholesale from any New York club circa 1979. Bubbling live bass, D-Train-esque keyboard stabs, lush sweeping strings and jangling Nile Rodgers guitar are all staples but it is the modern electronic twists that Crazy P apply that stop this becoming simply a pastiche. Though perhaps not quite up there with their very best work, 'Love On The Line' still does enough to show that Crazy P should be among the main disco contenders, and certainly a firm fixture on the festival circuit for 2009. | |
