with famous vocals of loleatta holloway

here at plastique recordings we have pressed up some very limited promos of 2 dance floor cuts of the collaboration between legendary synth outfit soft cell’s dave ball with hifi sean jamming out an electro nyc danceteria style number ultratheque a homage to glasgow’s first ever laser disco day version & night version both exclusive to this vinyl.

hifi sean, angesehener dj/produzent (ministry of sound, savage disco) und ex-frontmann der schottischen rave-band the soup dragons, liefert mit -ft.- ein party-pop-album mit gute-laune-faktor und vielen promi-features ab. die 13 tracks basieren auf sonnigen disco/funk/house/techno-grooves, während seine feature-gäste von house-queen crystal waters über funkateer bootsy collins bis avantgardistin yoko ono reichen und bei new wave-legenden wie dave ball (soft cell), fred schneider (b-52s) und alan vega (suicide) lange nicht aufhören.

truck is a buzzing analogue moog droning bass riff over disco-tic handclap beats with cb radio vocals by the one and only frontman of the b-52 s fred , think homage to movies like convoy and smokey & the bandit turned into pulsing dubbed up soundtrack to hitting the road and hitting the caffeine. in flagranti pump up the beats and claps and give it a nyc 80 s b-boy twist that just builds and builds in to a euphoric percussive groove in their own usual trademark style.

ultratheque pays tribute to glasgow s first ever laser disco and the first dancehall that hifi sean frequented as a teenager. soft cell/the grid analogue keyboard maestro dave ball adds his trademark sound on this solid electro groove making it sound like some lost dub from nyc danceteria days dave himself with skull bandits crank up the electroclash vibes on the remix and turn it into a full on dancefloor onslaught like ultratheque itself was back in those laser-tastic days.

atomium is a bass riff driven phat slo-mo disco funk groove featuring the man himself from funkadelic / parliament with his usual unique vocal playing with you as it rolls along on tripped out harpsichord and vocoder riffs dr. packer dubs it up a little more on remix duties with his usual disco funk edit style that we all know and love him for.
