Niteshifters
Huge Disco
Deli Music
Disco is back! Niteshifters follow the success of their debut single โShow Me What Youโve Gotโ with the release of theirย album Huge Disco (Deli Music) on August 4, 2017. The full-length album recalls the classic sounds of disco but features modern live production and the incredibly timeless vocals of 19-year-old rising star Khadija Jajue. Andrea Terrano (Basement Jaxx) is on guitar and Elliot May (Do Your Thing) sings backing vocals and lead on โSheโs The Girlโ and โHuge Disco.โ The album also features some strong instrumentals of โShow Me What Youโve Got,โ โAny Way You Want Itโ, โSay Yesโ and โYou Are My Sky.โ
While called the new sound of Disco, Huge Disco and Niteshifters recall all of my top disco vinyl faves. I was amazed by the silky smooth vocals of the young Jajue, which recall some of the top singing vixens of the Studio 54 decade. โShow Me What Youโve Gotโ was by far my favourite track on the album followed by the sexy Brazilian-lyrics of โYou Are My Sky,โ โSheโs My Girlโ and โBoogie Storm,โ which is the sole groove-oriented instrumental with no vocal tracks and characteristic disco synth motifs, horns and the โAtari gunโ samples. It is fitting โYou Are My Skyโ is in Portuguese given the popularity of disco music in Sao Paulo. โAny Way You Want Itโ is very funky, as is โShow Me What Youโve Gotโ with its lush orchestration samples. The album picks up with the orbital tracks of โSay Yesโ and closes with impressive instrumentals that will no doubt make it into a few DJ sets.
Niteshiftersโ Huge Disco is an ageless throwback to the 1970s. Pure disco. Pure grooves.
