About this item

Unwashed acid house and disco through a broken South London filter - from ‘70s New York bathhouses to ‘80s Chicago nightclubs via the Brixton Windmill. Bring a towel.

Decius is brothers Liam and Luke May, founders of Trashmouth Records, together with Quinn Whalley (Paranoid London/Warmduscher) and Fat White Family frontman Lias Saoudi.

Those with an ear to the ground will have picked up on a string of self-released 12”s over the last few years, supported by the likes of Daniel Avery, Honey Dijon, Ivan Smagghe, Mike Servito, 2 Many DJs, Moxie and Erol Alkan. Decius Vol. I is a lean entry point to their sordid world – dark, uncut, unrefined and unrepentant.

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: Fractured late-nite disco grooves and scattered post-punk saturation on this hefty number from all sorts of experienced production talent. Drawing a line between NY Loft party rhythms and gritty acid house via soulful disco, it's a combination not be missed and a melting pot that doesn't disappoint. Ace.
