It's the Supersound

This CD has been on repeat in my car system for days on end. Really lovely composed mix from the ESP Institute/Lovefingers camp.

“Welcome to the first in a series of philanthropic, pedagogical compilations from the ESP Institute. Curated and programmed by Lovefingers, “Concentration” is a narrative blend of obscurities, re-edits and remixes contributed by the label’s international family of collaborators. So we get the sublime cinematic boogie of “Rocks In Me”, edited by Alexis Le-Tan & Lee Douglas. Bumrocks take a typically off the beaten track route with the slinky “Piedra” – some kind of Balearic pop ditty that warms the cockles of your heart. Soft rock driver “Worldwide” arrives edited by Take, and there’s the Laurel Canyon dreaminess of “I Gotta Woman” (Abel edit). Also check the Chee Shimizu remix of “Yuku Yuku” – definitely a must for fans of Krautrock-disco fusions! Lexx’s killer tropical electro-Balearic disco sounds of “Verliebt”, a beautiful kalimba-tinted Afro-disco-not-disco of “Mateki” by Cos/Mes, and Afro-electro-disco of “Khoi Khoi”, edited by Secret Circuit. All proceeds from this series are donated to Harmony Project, a non-profit organization dedicated to youth development through music study, practice and performance.”

Andrew Hogge, otherwise known as Lovefingers, is currently down-under catching waves, eating pies, et. al. and also playing some gigs (hopefully some of you saw him at the Toff on NYE or that Picnic Warehouse party in Sydney). If you missed him (like I did since I was up in sunny QLD), then you should pop down to this:

There’s a great interview up on The Blackmail that is worthy of a read if you want a great insight of Mr. Hogge.

I am more than obsessed with RVNG. Anything RVNG I have to have, as it always pure gold. Eclectic mixes, disco edits, new producers…..it has it all. The only thing to come close to it in my opinion is Black Disco. The latest Black Disco tracks have been amazing. So I thought Id compile up my favorite tracks from the two series for you to have a browse through.
