Those times when you first hear a track and you are swept up within it, hypnotised by the beat and energy – a tribal hysteria. Well that. Fucking wow.
Xaver Von Treyer (twitter/facebook) is the head honcho of Supersoul Recordings and has an album coming out in the form of The Torino Scale which is more than a little bit special (more on that later), but this track isn’t a fit for the vibe of that thing. It’s too frantic, too bursting with disco electricity – but that means that he’s dropping it as a super limited (111 pressings) one-sided personalised 12″.
The vocal line comes from a recording Xaver made with Betty La Gachette of a late 70s speech made by a baptist preacher who had been to Studio 54 and found it so appaling and revolting he claimed “disco dancing is the device of the devil”, with Xaver dexribing it as “a massive rant on how disco corrupts the soul and that ‘brother and sister’ don’t dance in such ways with each other”. Set that against screaming synths and frenetic beats and I’m pretty delirious.
