Bottín – Artifact 19

Bottin may well be a top-notch producer of 21st century electronic disco, but he's also an awesome re-editor. His edits are usually imaginative and inspired, but more importantly breathe new life into obscure, little-known European tracks from the 70s and 80s. His latest edits EP is full to bursting with much-check treats, from the funky Italo-disco/sun-splashed synth-pop excellence of 'Dolce Du Luna' - all squelchy acid lines, Afro-funk horns and Rimini-friendly electrofunk grooves - to the percussion-rich, jazz funk-goes-disco excellence of 'El Caballero Oscuro', and the excitable Hi-NRG throb of 'Alta Energia'. Also worth a listen is the decidedly Balearic, soft-touch shuffle of the sun-soaked 'Volver Al Campo'.
