Push the Feeling: Party Preview
There's a fascinating new sound coming up lately — it's nebulous, hazy, and difficult to pin down, but it's perhaps referred to most commonly (and somewhat reductively) as "post-disco." It's an inelegant phrase — the sound in question borrows just as much from Krautrock, synthpop, Belgian new beat, and tropicalia as it does from disco, but it "feels" like disco, moving at a slower pace and possessing an undeniable groove.
Suzanne Kraft and
Secret Circuit, both based in L.A., have been exploring the edges of this difficult-to-categorize sound, blending all the aforementioned genres with easygoing house and techno, creating a warm, inviting sound that feels particularly of-the-moment. Both artists have collaborated under the name Blasé, and are affiliated with New York psychedelic-disco imprint ESP Institute; their history working together means they should play off each other very well, DJ-wise.
Push the Feeling's resident DJs,
Kevin Meenan and
Yr Skull, will open up the proceedings and get the dancefloor going.
