Okay so here’s what we know:
Gérard de la Disco is (was?) allegedly a “disco legend” who’s tracks are just now surfacing. His remix of Giorgio Moroder‘s classic, “From Here to Eternity” has been entered in this contest with his consent.

Actual legend? No idea. The individual who sent me this did a good job of being equally mysterious. In any event, listen, enjoy, and be sure to vote for it in the remix competition. If the track does well in this contest, we’ve been told to stay tuned for more music from Gérard as more of his body of work begins to see the light of day (there is more).

In 2004 I came across an amazing song called Silver Clouds by Photocall. The deep synth lines, breathy vocals, vocoder and retro-futuristic funky minimal bassline got me hooked! Looking for more, I was surprised it was the only single they had…until now. Continue Reading
