VA - Boogie Land Music The Essentials (2025)

The Essentials is a classy collection that celebrates the enduring charm of disco while giving it a fresh twist. Each track blends the aura of classic disco sounds with modern production flair. Stephane Deschezeaux's 'I Got The Love' begins with a smooth confidence. It features some sharp vocal editing that gives it a unique style and finesse. Larry Funk follows with 'Move', where a soulful vocal flourishes over a seamless fusion of funk-laced disco. Romain Villeroy's 'Take Me Hot' explodes with a retro energy. Bold horns, high-energy percussion and an uptempo beat make this a clear highlight. Other great examples are Larry Funk, who reappears with 'Feelingz'. He shifts gears into a deeper lane. This one nods to the New York house sound, where warm pads and a hypnotic rhythm verge into a deep house territory. Also, Deschezeaux's 'Point Blank', is a slick piece of post-disco sophistication. Merging early 80s electro-funk elements with a modern touch. A late-night gem that bridges generations of dance music with elegance. Altogether, The Essentials is an exciting entry point into the Boogie Land sound that is funky, fun and irresistibly danceable. Blending vintage disco with a new fervor never sounded as well.
