Well Daft Punk did it first. But Skream is bringing back disco.
Anyone disappointed by the French duo’s latest work will
find much to enjoy here. The influences
are clear – digitised voices, cosmic synth lines, bubbling bass lines and even
some Nile Rodgers-esque guitar wobbling.
The house-funk-disco fusion is miles away from Skream’s previous
dub-step work, the spectral beats and glitchy sample-work swapped for warm,
neon textures.
Cynics might see this move as a chance to capitalise on
recent trends, but this is one sexy track that will sound awesome “in the club”.
4/5
