Artist: DIRTY SOUND SYSTEM (VARIOUS)
Title: Dirty Space Disco
Label:
Tigersushi
Cat No
TSRCD014
· Since 2001, we have been battling against musical boundaries, setting up parties (monthly at the famous Parisian club, ‘Le Paris Paris’), and releasing compilations (three volumes of ‘Dirty Diamonds’ released on Diamondtraxx Records) made by nerds for non-nerds. Today we’ve found the appropriate label for our artistic ambitions: Tigersushi, which is owned by our favorite French producer Joakim.
· After three « all-over-the-place » compilations, we’re coming back with a new thematic compilation series, injecting a dose of subjectivity, bad faith, and never yielding to feelings of self-contentment. Our mission is simple : to blow away musical boundaries, to make underground music accessible to everyone, to decode musical trends by finding these little known but essential songs, and to carefully avoid dogmatism.
· his first volume is devoted to what we call ‘Space Disco’ that you may also call Cosmic Disco. Many things in this record feed an alternative vision of the genre: from cosmic disco (popularized in Italy in the early eighties by Daniele Baldelli), to new wave, to slow, slow, slow disco. Dirty Space Disco is our summer compilation, a real hot record but also very cold.
· The artwork was done by our favorite graphic designers Laurent Fetis & Elisabeth Arkhipoff and the next volume will be dedicated to weird psychedelic French pop from the 70s.
