Sandy Grooves Vol.1 is the debut compilation release from Boogie Bodega, a newly formed label based in Bali set up by Mexican Disco wizard Sould Out
Comprising of some of the most sought after producers within the Disco & Edits scene, Sandy Grooves vol.1 tickles all the Disco senses with something for everyone. From the laid back Balearic inspired incarnation from Ziggy Phunk’s “Stay With Me (Balearica Edit)” to the more uptempo dance floor heater’s from Monsieur Van Pratt’s “Delifunk” and Igor Gonya’s trip through Arabia with “Habibidisco” this comp focuses on the full spectrum of the Disco & Funk arena.
Making a grand entrance with the laid back Balearica Edit of Ziggy Phunks “Stay With Me” - the track transports the listener to the White Isle of Ibiza for a momentary audio getaway.
Track 2’s Nasty Fantastic rework of Rayko’s “Freaks Bearing Gifts" focuses on a more robotic energy that is reminiscent of a Midnight Star production from the 80s, steady chug and choral building overlaid vocals
Disco Deviant’s Pete Herbert & Dicky Trisco compliment the more downtempo offering of this selection with a dubbed out guitar laden trance inducing gem that is sure to spin a few heads.
The Funk District steps up to the plate with his “Just Groove With Us” a tasty funk number with a feel good reminder that now is the time to leave the troubles behind, lose yourself amongst the steady stomping groove, hypnotic rhythm guitar and driving Hammond organ.
Delifunk by Monsieur Von Pratt brings the heat with a surefire dancefloor ingniter - pllenty of power in the horn section’s, guaranteed to get the feet moving.
Label owner and compilation orchestrator Sould Out joins the pack with his own contribution aptly titled “Tropical Gyspy”, a nod to his nomadic forays and to the place he now calls home, Bali, Indonesia. Tropical Gypsy touches on a Jazz funk fusion flavour with silky guitar licks, haunting flute, mesmerising fingerwork on the keys and shuffling snare riffs.
Igor Gonya’s “Habibidisco” holds its place as a romantic vocal Disco funk journey through Arabia with plenty of energy - another one for the dancefloor crew.
“Easy Way To Groove” could not have a better title for the music to match, its a definite “does what it says on the tin” kind of vibe. Hotmood works his magic once again with this bass led stomper, tidy guitar licks and cinematic string section that’s sure to get butts off seats and wiggling
New Yorks Razor N Tape boss JKriv fires off with his atmospheric builder “Sunshine”; a slice of filtered, loopy Disco House goodness with progressive percussive elements.
If there wasn’t enough to make you feel good in this compilation already, Moodena & Sartorial have got you covered - “Got That Feeling” adds an extra dose of sunshine with this soulful feel good House journey, with plenty of sax & silky piano
“Keep You Burning (Super Clean Remix)” by Clean Is Good is a mid tempo sw***er that’s sure to heat up the listeners ears. Sleek, smooth vocals, classic disco beat and undeniable funky guitar - I dare you not to groove to this one!
Finishing off this tidy bundle in style is none other than Julian Sanza with “If You Want It” showcasing choppy bass-lines and layered with ear catching synth hooks.
Off to a flying start fresh out the gates. if this compilation is anything to go by, promising things to come from Boogie Bodega in the future.
