About Nena Daconte
Pop/rock duo Nena Daconte (named for a character in a novel by Gabriel García Márquez) are comprised of vocalist Mai Meneses and guitarist Kim Fanlo. Meneses was a participant on the second season of the television competition Operacion Triunfo. She came to know Fanlo (a studio musician from Barcelona) through the show, as he was a member of the band that accompanied the vocalists. Forming a friendship through their time on the show and ultimately deciding to work together, the duo recorded their first disc in early 2006. During the editing process they were contacted by Universal with a distribution offer. The label released their debut disc, entitled He Perdido los Zapatos, on March 27, 2006. The single "Idiota" became a radio hit almost immediately. Fanlo and Meneses released a remix and a music video for the song shortly thereafter. Nena Daconte were nominated for MTV's Spanish Act of the Year in 2006. The second single off the album, "En Que Estrella Estara," made the Top 40 charts two weeks in a row. He Perdido los Zapatos was certified as a gold record, selling over 40,000 copies in November of 2006. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez, All Music Guide

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. | |
