Bottin, AKA Guglielmo Bottin, first crossed paths with us at the Carnival of Venice. He was playing live synth whilst Bearfunk head-bear Stevie was DJing. After more DJing & some jovial keyboard sessions and some seriously impressive listening, we knew we had just found our favourite new Venetian. The Horror Disco concept all started with the chance loan of a noisy, old, incontrollable, 70´s Farfisa Syntochestra synthesizer. This proved to be the weapon of choice for several of the tracks on the album (Mary Lewis, Magnetic Cat) with Bottin building up hand-played layers old school style. A few tweaks of the Farfisa led our man to the world of sounds he grew up to: the soundtracks to Italian slasher B-movies (like those by Lucio Fulci, Bava, Argento & Alberto Martino), but also futuristic horror scenarios, cosmic travels and close encounters with space vampires... The die was set. Horror Disco melds these soundtrack and aural ideas with a 100% disco album. One that drifts away from most of the soulful elements of disco and one that is dirtier, warmer and less polished than contemporary Scandinavian nu-disco. The album is wide and varied - ´Slashdance´ gives us a Goblin-esque robo-vocoder-disco, ´Roger Bacon´ is pure cosmic groove, whilst the Italo-disco-Thriller ´Disco For The Devil´ features the vocals of Italian-based, UK-born session master Douglas Meakin – who back in the day was lead vocalist in Simonetti's Easy Going and Crazy Gang cult disco projects. The film influence is ever present too, ´Horror Disco´ is the Giallo intro opener. ´Venezia Violenta´ is the imaginary soundtrack to a futuristic cowboy flick Westworld and the closing track ´Endless Mother´ is pure John Carpenter 1982 vibe, rejuvenated by a screaming synth ostinato. The well-received, recent, single and Italo chunker ´No Static´ is also included. ´Horror Disco´ is an impressive album with a rare attention to detail. We hope you like it as much as we do.
