Jeremy Duffy, the man behind the Join The Dots label and the Duff Disco edits is starting a new series of originals 12 inches on his own imprint Duff Disco, following some richly detailed house and disco outings on the likes of Tenth Circle, Dikso and Composite. The first offering from Duff Disco is a two tracker featuring A Little More Love & You Shoulda Known.
The former marries punchy kicks to bristling percussion and sets an inviting tempo. Plenty of colour seeps in courtesy of some spacious chords and there is a finely balanced sense of joy aching to get out between the subtle vocal cries and shimmering synths. The flip side, ‘You Shoulda Known’ is that little bit more physical, with torque hi hats and drums padding out a mottled rhythm as more widescreen synths light up the whole thing from the behind. The latter half sees a frazzled synth line take centre stage as things delve into more driving deep disco territory. On this evidence, this is a series to more than keep your eyes on.
