ABOUT THIS ITEM
First releases from new LA label 100% Silk, set up by Amanda from LA Vampires / Pocahaunted / Not Not Fun records. The label is just going to put out 12"s of weirdo dance-acid-dub, all packaged in nice disco range bags. First one outta the racks is Ital, the debut outing by Daniel Martin-McCormick's (of Mi Ami, Sex Worker, etc) new late nite club-love project. you can feel the brotherhood. Hot and sticky humid DC nights. San Fran brotherly love bangers. You-Can-Have-It-All loftings in Brooklyn. Ital bounces between these like a mechanized conga beat, offering up the kind of cuts that make you move like the smoother, sweeter version of yrself. This is the ultimate reversal of the day that disco died, the perfect envisioning of a dance culture that threw away the cheeky kitsch of hustle hangovers but held on to the je ne sais quoi of glitterfeti neon nightlife. “Ital's Theme” is magnetic; the cold open for a one night stand, the montage you’d set your Thursday night to - back when Thursday night was Friday night and you had to get out of the house. “Queens” reverberates through the dance hall like a rubber ball, off one wall and onto the other, picking up sweat and steam on the way. “One hit” sounds like the scaling of a skyscraper, higher and higher. Just writing “Makes you wanna dance” would be simply, stupidly, an understatement.
