Radiorama - Chance To Desire (Mike Candys Remix) is the ultimate fusion of past and present! The top Swiss artist, who has been awarded double platinum and multiple gold records, has taken the Italo disco anthem from 1985 to a whole new level.
With his creative beats, captivating melodies and energetic drops, Mike Candys breathes new life into the classic and makes it perfect for your playlist!
Two pillars of the present-day disco and funk worlds, Purple Disco Machine and French superstar Kungs team up for their newest release ‘Substitution’. Kicking off the year with this surprising collaboration, the two internationally acclaimed producers prove they are the perfect party-starting pair with a single earmarked to be a dancefloor favorite. The two artist’s relationship flourished when they met at several festivals, with ‘Substitution’ embodying that pure excitement and energy only found dancing next to boogie-loving punters. Combining their innate abilities to bring people together to party, the two teamed up and worked together in Purple Disco Machine’s Dresden studio to iron out the track rather than just sending files back and forth, ensuring an authentic disco hit.
It signals Purple Disco Machine’s first single since earning the 2023 Grammy for Best Remix Performance on Lizzo’s ‘It’s About Damn Time’ and follows a tremendous few years of success for the electronic virtuoso. The prestigious producer has earned a reputation as a chart-topper with his collaborations with Sophie and the Giants in ‘Hypnotized’ and ‘In The Dark’, while also bringing out a catalogue of hits along the journey to the 2021 release of his sophomore album ‘Exotica’. Meanwhile, Kungs has earned his crown as the leader of the French electronic revolution with his 2022 album ‘Club Azur’ proving his aptitude for making people move with airplay-chart hits such as ‘Clap Your Hands’ and ‘Never Going Home’. He embeds that dance floor flavour into ‘Substitution’, only complementing Purple Disco Machine’s own flair for groove-laden beats.
The pair exhibit a perfect musical marriage of Italo-disco influences to ensure dancefloor excellence and a lyricism that will sing away at your heart. In apropos fashion for both men, the single kicks off with enchanting piano chords and a signature funk-fuelled bassline. Sampling the iconic 1984 hit ‘Big in Japan’ from Alphaville, there is a sense of poise and class within the production while the two simultaneously exude a carefree charisma that permeates throughout ‘Substitution’ The disco-heat melds effortlessly with the soulful-pop hooks that will have you getting lost in the lust of the lyrics. However, while you’ll be singing along it’ll be evidently clear that the two artist’s roots come from the human experience found on the club dancefloor, as is conspicuous throughout the vibrant production.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]When the incredible talented German Purple Disco Machine meets the French talent Kungs then the result can only be the explosive Substitution. The track continues on the well known Italo disco house sound that has been revived so wonderfully from the Purple Disco Machine. Full of funk and groove along with the unforgettable synths of the Alphaville classic track then you get an instant pressure cooker. When you add a very strong male vocal with lyrics that stay in your head for days and without even trying u start to singalong then u know that we deal with another global smash to make our Spring more colorful full of happiness and joy. #PureGold Love IT [/content]
Get ready for Cassara, the man who delivers the hottest funky French House of the season! After two vinyl only releases, this Hamburg-based Italian-sound wizard now delivers his first EP that's guaranteed to make you move it. Cris Cassara has been around for a decade in the music business, sharing studios with fellows like Digitalism, writing serious pop songs and primarily being a great vocalist. He grew up with the disco and funk music of the 70s, but his love for Daft Punk and the French House scene of the late 90's with Fred Falke, Cassius and Superfunk brought him to nightly sessions in the studio, trying to decode the DNA of that legendary sound. The result can be enjoyed on the „La Vela EP“ and is packed with peak-time filler funky bombs, the baddest bass sound around and some serious grooves. Early supporters include Aeroplane and Satin Jackets who consistently include "Lady Leopard“, "The Forest“ and "La Vela“ in their sets.
Dimitri Kechagias review: The beloved label Soundcolours owned by the legends of electronic music Blank & Jones delivers well timed for summer the exceptional La Vela EP by the upcoming and quickly rising Cassara. La Vela EP contains 5 magnificent exquisite and highly summer charged tracks that will make the difference on any occasion that you may play them. Firstly is La Vela that he describes as Italian House. Its a wonderful slice of relaxing melodic deep house with strong repetitive synthy riffs, funky basslines and beautiful atmosphere that easily carry away your mind to your favourite seaside. Next is Lady Leopard that is moving on the same warm shinny sparkling house sound with beautiful disco choir vocals, funky sexy basslines and eargasmic grooves along with cool xylophone and synthy melodies. Very different style that is based on the addictive groove to work its therapy for mind, body and soul. The Forest starts with an ambient crowd intro while the main part is based on funky disco house groove along with cool vocal snippet and fantastic warm strings and simply infectious synthy themes. The Forest is 7 minutes mind trip that has soothing effect while you dance your sweaty body along. Seaside as the name suggests starts with melancholic vintage style synths while piano chords are adding along with guitar licks, warm strings, heavenly voices and very relaxing lazy slow sweet groove. The last tune is Fantasma that starts with quite thrilling melancholic vintage style melody coupled with funky guitar backed up with edgy greedy dark basslines, pulsating grooves and very mysterious classical music influenced theme in the breakdown followed by superb drop to finish nicely an exceptional EP! #PureGold Love it
