About this item

DJs in the Sky take the resting dancer and peace seeking listener down a slower moving sonic path to a no less compelling place, nestling somewhere to the left of the dance floor. "Zen And The Art Of Disco Maintenance Chapter 1" features Architeq’s mix of Cruising Gangs’ seminal "Chinatown", which builds steadily into a quietly epic 303 and pads odyssey. Newcomers Marybeya join the fray, with the chugging, widescreen Balearic soundscapes of "Non Reciprocle". Highlight's of west coast electronic pioneer Sorcerer’s recent "Neon Leon" album, the spacey, bumping "Raydio", mixes tightly into Architeq’s "Mind Games", a rare vocal outing from him featuring none other than Ilja Rudman on mic duties. Space’s seminal "Carry On, Turn Me On" is here in it’s revamped Richard Norris version, retaining the simmering eroticism of the original whilst adding a layer of ethereal warmth. Foto's mix of D Pulse's "More" has managed just that, as an Aeroplane set favourite last year, and this runs deftly into the pulsing, shiny electronic disco of Acos Coolcas’ "Free Flight" (Ichisan remix).
