Disco Infiltrator: August 16th


This is the first edition of a new weekly feature here at buffaBLOG highlighting the best new tracks from the world of electronic music. As dance music has seen an incredible rise in profile recently, countless innovative producers have started earning recognition for their craft, blowing up seemingly overnight because of an infectious track or sound they've created. This column will take a look at some of the more interesting sounds happening within a genre that's been known to constantly push boundaries by seamlessly blending disparate styles and sounds.


London producer Fort Romeau is known for his atmospheric take on house that uses slow builds and deep grooves to make for a hypnotic sound with an obvious 80's influence. His latest track, "Stay True," is a deep cut with a bassline that evokes the noir disco sound of Chromatics. The gorgeously composed vocal sample provides an added element of depth and keeps things interesting over the seven minute track. The producer's Stay/True EP is out September 16 on Matthew Dear's Ghostly International Label.



Producer Machinedrum released "Eyesdontlie" late last month as the first single on his new label, Ninja Tune. The single's B-side, "Body Touch" features a slower tempo than we're used to hearing from the artist, but doesn't sacrifice any of the infectiously looped vocals and heavy percussion. The track has a dark, grooving atmosphere with an R&B and Trap vibe. Look for the producer's upcoming album Vapor City to be released September 23. 


Prolific UK producer George FitzGerald's latest track, "I Can Tell (By The Way You Move)," is an energetic, bright slice of house with a memorable hook, funky synth bass line and a vocal sample placed underneath the hook that helps carry the tracks already driving rhythm. FitzGerald recently signed to Domino records imprint Double Six, and will hopefully be releasing more tunes like this one in the future.
