Editor's review
U.K. production duo Stereo Deluxe are not for the faint of heart. If you took the weirdness of the Scissor Sisters and paired it with Ursula 1000 on an off day, you'd come up with something like Stereo Deluxe, whose music is neither pop nor house nor retro, but embodies sounds from all three genres.
Biography
After an absence from the international music scene, the two producers from Berlin team up with cult UK label Freshly Squeezed Music to release two new EPs. The duo are perhaps best known for their 1998 album Glam-o-Rama on Bungalow Records which was licensed across the world and sound tracked numerous TV series and adverts.
The new EP's see the first digital release of the now classic Sexuality In The Eighties (which originally had a limited 7" vinyl print from Freddy Fresh's Howlin' Records) and brings their story bang up-to-date with the best of their new material recorded in the interim. The Sexuality In The Eighties EP couples the influential twangy guitar and electro-mambo beats of the title track with two more recent but typically askance cuts.
The title track from their 2nd release, the Disco Desperado EP marries a dirty bass line to an infectious funk groove and is accompanied by the slightly further out, tongue twister of a tune Bouchez, and the softer, polished lounge stylings of Breakfast At Annies.
