Black Van

For those unfamiliar with Black Van, you are in for a real treat today. The duo of Kris Menace and KoweSix (one half of Moonbootica) have been creating quite a buzz with their deep disco vibes.

The project in their words: "The Black Van project takes their shared love of early electronica and disco to the next level by exploring the possibilities of analogue perfection and introducing classic songwriting from some of the best indie vocalists from USA and Europe." I've always been a big fan of Kris Menace, and actually didn’t even realize he was part of Black Van when I first heard their music…. I should have known better!

The first Black Van track I fell in love with was the “Yearning”. This slow burning gem is both chill and funky. Some seriously dreamy synth sounds on display here:

Pretty sure I first heard this next track on Radio 1... their killer remix of The Glass - Four Four Letter:

Next up, here is their newest release "Moments of Excellence", which was released on Permanent Vacation (does this label ever miss with a release!!). Same formula, same great results:

And finally... Another great remix of Aeroplane's Without Lies. Is this better than the Breakbot remix?

I really hope Menace and KoweSix get the credit they deserve - as this really is a fantastic set of tracks.

Enjoy,
