i’m not sure if the brutalist was actually as good as it felt- but i’m a sucker for an experience, and seeing a movie in 70mm at the music box with my very own mr.movies (josh), was a soul salve I didn’t know I needed.
and WOWEE KAWZOWEEE what a freaking credit sequence?? the SYNTHS? the BOLD TYPOGRAPHY? i’ve been playing la bionda’s “one for you, one for me” every day since.

Musicians at the top of their game having more fun than I've ever experienced in my life, meticulously captured on film, displayed in beautiful 4K on a big-ass IMAX screen.

Nobody likes it when a DJ messes up what the beginning of a bar is on a track during a transition: everybody gets confused and doesn't know which beat to follow. Ironically, everyone loves when a track makes room for this to happen on purpose, just like this one does. The vocal goes on and on and on without a beat, and by the time you think you know what you're grooving to, you're taken for a ride when the rest of the arrangement kicks in. I also have a soft spot for jangly filtered guitars and that compressed, plugged-nose sounding bass tone. For more of that disorienting feeling, also try Daft Punk - Prime Time of Your Life (Para One Remix).

A beautiful vocal (Ce Ce Rogers' Someday, 1987) paired with what was already a fun and super timely disco track (Cloud One's Happy Music, 1978). Instead of just using the sample in Happy Music on its own, Duke went through the trouble of mimicking the original's sliding synth and making his own beautiful progression that runs almost the entire length of the track, and shows great respect for its source material.

Nothing hits quite like a great bootleg, or a vindictive lawsuit from Donna Summer's estate, so keep things hush hush. This is the first (and a personal favourite) Dem Bones record, a label focused on disco remixes from the UK. Antony Daly, the co-producer, left a comment o the making of the track on Discogs, and now runs the 586 records shop in Gateshead, northeast England.
