Not content with wowing the dancing world with a series of staggering 12″s last year, Loud E begins 2009 with a class A album of edits so sophisticated you could drink them on the rocks from a cocktail glass in a suitably plush penthouse setting where Dr. Doom is DJing and the patrons are made up of the dazzlingly shiny Cylons from Battlestar Galactica rubbing nano-receivers with the fembots of Hajime Sorayama. Said album, “Loud E-fied” is available here.

“Oceans of Loud” is a swirling cosmo-disco panther, like dark liquid transforming into a chrome and onyx robot that soars through the air slo-mo, acting as a heroic mecha-taxi service carrying 70′s film starlets to the lesser known and frequented Studio 54 in Earth’s orbit.

A Brooklyn disco collective is aligning itself with all the right people in the disco capital of New York (check the Loft Party syndication with DFA Records). They are known as Vietcong Disco, with musical production from Eddie Mars and Malcolm LaSalle. Releases soon? On DFA? Rong?

Eddie Mars – The Pharaoh’s Jewel

Vietcong Disco breakdance like an Egyptian on “The Pharaoh’s Jewel”, throwing shapes in front of a great neon-lined pyramid, the eyes of the Sphinx shooting spotlights down onto the dancers. Each flourish of the synth carves out new hieroglyphics in the stone perspex walls of the club inside the pyramid as the dj’s glide through the air on glowing golden discs.

Midnight Star – Close Encounter (Eddie Mars Edit)

Eddie Mars edits Midnight Star into a stuttering/strutting skeletal piece of midnite-italo to be played during Zhora’s snake routine in Blade Runner, in the window displays of Kim Cattrall’s Mannequin striking plastic alluring poses, from a dry limousine on the rain soaked air strip depicted in the cover of Shakatak’s “Out of this World” sleeve art and in the bar where Sarah Conner is first greeted by The Terminator.
