Squadra Blanco - Night of the Illuminati
The Hague's esteemed house of quality conclude an amazing year for them with yet another new imprint, Holosynthesis. And the word is out that Viewlexx will cease producing records this year, so with a true sense of expectation we introduce Holosynthesis. This is four excellent sides of the deepest red-light, bass bin deep, electrodisco. The title track is simultaneously brand new, yet could be something plucked from a classic Ron Hardy Music Box set. 'The Dream That Doesn't Stop' again picks up the notion of Italian disco from its heyday, but pitching sounds clearly at club arenas circa 2003. 'Theme from the forgotten cable car' could be incidental music from an immensely disturbing slasher flick, brooding and dark.
'The Night Must Fall' persists with the foreboding, dramatic feel to this double pack, distilling the kind of excitement that works brilliantly in a club, shady and very grooving disco fours with an arpeggiated hedonistic early house vibration. 'The City Shall Burn Tonight' begins to sound more like a confident prediction, when you hear the intent futurism of the track, the bombast of Visage comes to mind, and with the closer 'We Are The Illuminati', you start to actually feel like an initiate into a special world of dark disco and skewed electro. Deep and well limited.
