Today we take a ride with the London-based duo The C90s (Danny Ashenden and Jamie Paterson) and we have more than one reason to do this:
1. The C90s is one of our favorite bands, who shares their mutual love for disco beats, handclaps, cowbells and vocoders the last two years.
2. They have released two amazing EPs “10:01″ and “Shine A Light” on Headman’s Relish label last year. Stuck on repeat!
3. They gained credit for their killer remixes of Headman, Tape To Tape, Tronik Youth, Roisin Murphy, Flight Facilities, Villa and most recently Golden Bug & Rodion and Midnight Savari. Already featured on La.Ga.Sta.
4. They’re cool, funny, and unstoppable. Plus they have a new studio in London. Expect big things!
5. Last but not least, they’re coming in Athens, Greece this Saturday (12/3) at Philipp Champagne Bar, as a special guest of the “BeDazzler” parties (free entrance).
While you read the interview and listen/download (do it) their new mixtape below, we will be driving with The C90s boys in the streets of Athens. Next stop: Disco! Fill it up!
La.Ga.Sta.: Why C90s?
Danny: We’re named after the famous cassette tape.
How came that a duo with the word 90s part of its name, is making disco music?
Danny: Beause we love disco!
Jamie: The name has nothing to do with the decade.
When was your first night at discotheque?
Danny: Probably when I was underage and shouldn’t have been there.
Jamie: I can’t remember the first time I sneaked into a club, but I used to do it a lot. At that age, however, it was more about chasing girls than music.
What has influenced you most in the past years?
Danny: I’d say the DFA label since it started. They opened my ears and eyes up a lot.
Jamie: I agree, it’s an incredible label. I’d also say living in London has influenced our output. I grew up in London and it’s definitely effected all aspects of my life, in both positive and negative ways.
Five words to describe The C90s…
Jamie: Two gentlemen making nice music.
What turns you on?
Jamie: A lack of pretention.
Danny: Jessica Alba
Which producers have you been digging at the moment and why?
Danny: Tom Trago, Bibio, Volta Cab, Krystal Klear and Salva are all putting out amazing albums or EPs either now or very shortly.
Which is your favorite place in London?
Danny: Recently, our new studio!
Jamie: Yeah, definitely. We’ve spent more time in there since we moved in than anywhere else.
Which is your favorite sound?
Jamie: Spurs fans celebrating a Tottenham goal.
Danny: A fat cat purring.
What are your plans for 2011?
Danny: Get rich or die trying.
Jamie: And that includes releasing a few singles and an EP.
What makes you wanna shine a light?
Danny: Athens!
Jamie: Yeah, drinking champagne and playing some records.
What you will do tonight?
Jamie: Spend some more time in the studio, then go cook up some dinner.
Danny: And post too much rambling on Twitter.

Named after the capital of Uruguay, Montevideo from Brussels are the tightly knit cluster of four likely lads, four friends who take to their musical ambitions like a souped up Pontiac Firebird to a freshly tarmaced autobahn. Fronted by singer Jean Waterlot, the present incarnation of Montevideo is not the first one, but as Jean points out “Montevideo is 100% a group effort, we truelly thrive on unity”. Evidence of their abilities arrive soon with the ‘Tribal Dance’ EP, released on Headman’s acclaimed Relish imprint. Produced by Sebastiaan Vandevoorde (Villa, Moonlight Matters), the EP offers three tracks (‘Tribal Dance’, ‘Fate & Glory’, ‘Mr. Drake’) with influences from David Bowie, Chet Baker, Marvin Gaye, Queen, Sonic Youth and the 70s soundtracks of French composer Michel Legrand. You can preview Montevideo’s new amazing single ‘Tribal Dance’ below. Totally addictive!

Today we ‘Rolling In The Deep’ with our favorite Belgium duo Villa of Fredo and Thang. First came some tasty edits and the remixes for Moby, Keane and The Golden Filter. Then endorsments from the likes of Erol Alkan and Aeroplane, a few festival slots and high profile club bookings. But still in back end of 2010, Villa was still a project into its growing pains. Originally rooted from the DJ partnership of Ghent duo Thang & Fredo, it wasn’t until the former spend some time in the home studio of his long-time buddy Francois Demeyer that the definite shape of Villa is drawn up.
While Thang’s well developing DJ ambitions took him elsewhere, Francois followed his own path – which lead to being part of the line up of Belgian’s fashion darlings Vive La Fête, hooking up with The Glimmers for Disko Drunkards and crafting soulful poptunes with his own band Soapstarter. Now, the decades long club experience from Thang, matched with multi-instrumentalist Francois’ well honed studio skills are a match made in disco heaven! “Disco is at the core of Villa”, says Francois, “Although we’d love to coin the phrase ‘hyper-disco’!”
Villa are currently working on a debut EP, but first they unleash a bundle of impressive remixes. After their rework of The Human League’s ‘Night People’ (grab it here), here’s their anthemic take on Adele’s ‘Rolling In The Deep’ in full 320kbps quality exclusive on La.Ga.Sta. Keep your eye on the sky.
