Translucent grooves, crafted via three decades of disco.

We Say...
Disco has been so extensively plundered for samples and melodies by house producers it's a wonder there's anything left that hasn't already been regurgitated through someone's mixing desk. But Canadian producer Colin de la Plante not only preserves disco's youthful sheen, he creates a timeless frame for new and old beats to co-exist and to thrive.
The key is in the selection. La Plante uses short sampled loops and instrumentation; by letting these elements run together in the mix, avoiding interruptions or abrupt edits, he allows the pristine and the vintage to steadily diffuse into each other — to take on each other's DNA. Vocal snatches, bubbling synths and percussive breaks all move together, frictionless, and the perpetual motion has effortless grace rather than explosive sensual charge.
"Ain't the Way It's Supposed to Be" interpolates Patrick Cowley electronic pulses and slow, Kraftwerk-style melodies, making for a gliding midnight cruise; "Alice, You Need Him" plays tremolo chords against liquid synth pops that sound like they were recorded in a metal box. As High as the Sky at times evokes the slow riding groove of France's Motorbass or the sample-scapes of Thomas Brinkmann's Soul Center project. But really, La Plante just lets his source material do all the talking, framing translucent grooves through which three decades of dance music do their thing.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
