Bonar Bradberry – Siula Grande EP

Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010

Need and want

We’re not quite sure how he does it, but this year our friend, confidant and all round selector Bonar Bradberry (of PBR Streetgang fame) has had a run of sterling releases on some premier labels including Wolf Music, Under The Shade and this beauty, Siula Grande on Needwant. These are the people behind the Future Disco mix albums and the excellent Future Balearica compilation, featuring everything from the disco-not-disco twangs of Idjut Boys to the more folky escapades of Animal Collective and hipster friendly XX. As for Bonar’s release, you’ll be hard pushed to find a better picture of alfresco-disco in the sunshine, slow burning like a cherry tree with a high heat output. Pete Herbert‘s mix (below) takes thing up a notch in energy, a synthier, more classic disco rendition. On the flip is For All Time, pitched down and swaying, deep and druggy and a touch new wavy – keep an ear out for those understated but always rising cosmic strings. Lastly, Burnski’s mix delivers that subterranean sound emanating from the likes of Troxler, Jones, Mirazhi, et al lately, a sort of Detroit licked deep percussive house number which rounds things off nicely – all bases covered. Get it on Juno.
