About this item

People in The Sky is now on its twelfth release and it feels like the musical landscape is changing as the heat around disco starts to bleed into dark corners of the indie underworld, and brave new hybrids start to emerge, skirting around the fringes of post punk, white boy funk, Kraut cosmonica and disco's inbuilt hedonism. Riding the wave of all this cross-pollinating the label drop a compilation. It starts with the timeless Italo of Tantra's 1981 classic "A Place Called Tantra", moves confidently through the strutting disco-rave of Mock and Toof's mix of Friendly Fires' "Photobooth", sashays through 40 Thieves "Don't Turn Me On", and then drifts off into space via John Daly's mix of Beppe Loda's "Egotrya", the Diaphanoids "Weightless Motionless" and Holy Ghosts's anthemic mix of They Came from the Stars "Moonsong". It swoops back to earth with the deep disco-froideur of Chromatics "Hands In The Dark", struts around Lindstrom's "Botswana Bedouin", and then straps on the floor-burners with Optimo's mix of Colder and Metal on Metal's take on Wax Stags' epic "Short Road", before closing out with Heartbreak's sizzling electro-disco rework of Plugs "Bodyheat", and finally, the Diaphanoids glorious slo-mo, lazer guided re-jig of Snorkel's "Dust to Dust". 17 tracks in total - lots of space, lots of songs, lots of grooves, and hopefully something a bit different for burn out new ravers, disco freaks and indie refugees alike.
