Too Slow To Disco NEO: The Sunset Manifesto Volume 2

    Too Slow To Disco are back with another chapter in their ongoing series of unearthing smooth vibes from all over the world, this time they go back to the FUTURE for you with: 'THE SUNSET MANIFESTO Volume 2'.

    After a five year break mainly concentrating on the late 70s/early 80s Westcoast Soul/Yacht/AOR sound, they finally dive deep into the modern world of their beloved sister-label Too Slow To Disco NEO (for the third time after 2018s TSTD NEO - 'En France' and 2020s 'The Sunset Manifesto' excursions).

    But of course it wasn't a real 5 year break since the first Sunset Manifesto compilation, as in the meantime they also released a few digital TSTD Neo singles, and - more importantly - their "Too Slow To Disco NEO - FM" playlist on spotify (handcurated by Dj Supermarkt every week and now hosting more than 1500 tracks of mellow, modern sunshine vibes) was growing steadily and becoming a new, important fixpoint in the TSTD musical universe.

    TSTD NEO is the outlet Dj Supermarkt is using to unearth modern laidback, smooth, sunny slow disco vibes with a soulful Westcoast/Balearic touch. For him TSTD always has been about a laidback vibe/feeling, not a certain time period in musical history. And that sunny Westcoast vibe that they dug out on those traditional TSTD compilations has become a huge influence to so many modern artists. So it makes sense that they present the cream of new slo/mo Nu- Disco/Sunset Disco/Daytime Disco acts in the TSTD format, a luxurious compilation, with artists from all across the globe: Not only from the two homelands of that modern slow disco sound, Los Angeles/California and France, but also from Beijing, Montreal, Mexico, London, New York, Stockholm, Rotterdam… the moon, you name it! This music is more a state of mind, a feeling, then a geographical thing.

    Too Slow To Disco Presents Yacht Soul - The Cover Versions 2

      Welcome Back, friends, to the Yacht Soul cruise that never ends!
      This theme, explored at length in the previous installment of this series, is a fertile one that just keeps on giving, and give it certainly does on the tracks we have dug up for your perusal, enlightenment, edification and enjoyment on Yacht Soul 2.

      For those just joining us, the concept here concerns R&B and soul artists mining the songbooks of their white contemporaries for cover versions that serve the dual purposes of potentially garnering some crossover radio airplay as well as introducing great songs to segments of the listening public who might otherwise miss them. Some of these versions might have come about because they were personal favorites of the artist in question, others might have been strongly suggested by their labels or by the publishing company, but all of them provide an entirely new perspective on what were already fantastic songs to begin with.

      So there you have it--a further dig into this nebulous concept that reveals more unexpected connections and crossed paths. Understanding the hows and whys of the way these particular covers and collaborations came to be is as fascinating as just enjoying the music itself, and there really is a lot of great music to dig into this time around! We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we did putting it together.
