Friend of El Diablo’s and much-feared Captain of the Ship of Foolishness Felix Dickinson sent us this new 12″ by Jamie Blanco, out on his Cynic label this week. It’s a soaring acid-drenched odyssey peppered with Robotnik rimshots and layers of strobing synths – the kind of record that grabs you by the scruff of the neck in the opening seconds and spits you out grinning like a simpleton six minutes later. The flip is a more potent, minimal affair with a groove to kill for and an eerie little vocal – a starker example of why 808 plus 303 will always equal:

Back in 2007, Paper Recordings mainstay Ben Davis (Flash Atkins) put together The Bionics, a studio-bound side project with Crazy P’s Danielle Moore and Tim Davies. They released the ‘Solid Silver’ album, which tickled the fancies of nu-disco heads and deep-housers alike, with lead track ‘Love Chains’ causing a particular stir. Now, to celebrate the re-launch of the much-missed Paper, Ben has re-released ‘Love Chains’ with a plethora of remixes from likes of Max Essa, Greg Wilson and our own Neil Diablo. Neil’s version of the track is a creeping discoid slow-burner that creates the perfect space for Dani’s confessional vocals and his trademark ominous synth pads. It’s one of his strongest productions to date, and oozes that butterflies-in-your-stomach early doors El Diablo’s vibe.

Fresh from a hectic summer of European beach festivals and pop-up parties, Neil Diablo returns with another super-limited hand-stamped 12″ of ‘Evil K’neil’ edits, guaranteed to make your dancefloor go from naught to ‘WOOOOAH!’ in sixty seconds. First up we get a subtly nipped and tucked version of the Harari classic ‘Party’. You’ll recognise it as an El Diablo’s favourite – it’s the one that sounds like Hot Chocolate coming up on Mitsubishis at the Loft. Flip to find Patrick Cowley’s 1981 banger ‘Get A Little’ – a synth-disco anthem that won’t take no for an answer, presented here with neatened tempo and trademark ‘K’neil’ heft.
A ‘break glass in emergency’ record for epic nights out or naughty nights in, ‘To Rack and Ruin Vol 2′ is available now from Piccadilly Records. But blink, motherfuckers, and you will miss it.
