The Far Out Monster Disco Orchestra, Far Out’s 20th anniversary disco project, released its double LP last year. It features the arrangements of Azymuth’s late Maestro José Roberto Bertrami and the legendary Arthur Verocai alongside a host of other Brazilian musical icons. FOMDO10 is the latest in a series of vinyl only releases on Far Out. Previous producers providing their re-works to the series include Theo Parrish, Marcellus Pittman, Mark Pritchard, 4hero, Isoul8, LTJ Xperience and many more.

Striking that perfect balance between mood and groove that seems only possible out of Detroit, House pioneer and Slum Village DJ Andres’ signature bounce lays the foundation for chopped-up harp samples beautifully eerie bells and the slick vocals of Mia Mendez. Having spliced all this into one spooky, hypnotic stepper of a track, the ghost of disco is clearly in Andres’ machine and it’s sure to compel even the most profane dance floors. It’s another future classic in the vein of Andres’ more ethereal house productions: the kind that saw Andres initially catapulted from Hip Hop hero to a true Deep House innovator.

On the B side, New York house veteran DJ Spinna adds a slightly more broken edge to the disco original, which, along with a beefcake bass-line, Bertrami’s expressive Rhodes and Mendez’ vocal, creates an emotive boogie bounce that patiently builds in expression and intensity with the help of some shimmering funk synth. No one puts the funk in house music quite like Spinna and this is a prime example. As producers, Andres and Spinna are humbling examples of what it takes to succeed within the framework of multiple fields. It’s their dedication to house music, with a deep, intrinsic understanding of its Disco heritage that amounts to such consistently powerful productions
