ABOUT THIS ITEM

Following on from the pair's Dissident debut, Optimo Music release the second single from Den Haan, the dynamic Glasgow duo of spacial electronical disco grooves. Matt (Crème de Menthe – Disko B) and Gardi seemed to have met in some Italian discotheque circa 1979 if their sound is anything to be believed. However, they are far from a retro pastiche. They ooze camp funk, glitter and glamour – you only need to see them perform live to see what we mean. One would expect to see Giorgio himself make a guest appearance on the stage. They list their influences as being from AC/DC to Zappa, Boney M to Yello and Azoto to David Zed. This three-tracker features "Release The Beast", a bona-fide floor-filler in Glasgow (be it Optimo to Death Disco), "Metamophosis", a brilliant Cowley-esque, camptastic anthem, and "Looking For Love", which hits that uptempo electro-pop meets Euro disco spot - like early Depeche Mode, before they went all doom and gloom.
