Matteo Veroni - Disco Kid Two (2018)

Hot on the heels of March's Disco Kid One comes this expansive sequel from Sonic Elements member Matteo Veroni. Like its predecessor, Disco Kid Two supplements a swathe of original nu-disco cuts with a smattering of tasty scalpel works. Highlights come thick and fast throughout, from the surging, intergalactic Italo-disco thrust of "Psycho Waves" and crystalline synth-techno sprint of "Scala 80" to the anthem-like, riffs-and-arpeggios rush of high high energy/freestyle fusion cut "Flexx". If you're a fan of Johnny Jewel and company's glistening, synthesizer-heavy movie soundtrack work, you'll also enjoy the downtempo brilliance of "Reeko".
