Dark Rerub Boogie

Well, it's been a long week to say the least. Therefore let's end it on a high note with one of my favorite edits from the superb Mindless Boogie label in Rubber Room re-edit of French rock band Noir Désir's 2001 song "Le Vent Nous Portera". At first, you might think "French rock band from the 90's and early 2000's", how could this be "disco". Well, with one listen you'll notice how funky the laid-back edit, by Ferre Hindryckx and Wiebe Loccufier, whom make-up Rubber Room, really is. With that being said, the Rubber Room tag-team seems to always produce great results and this twelve-inch single is no different. I highly recommend grabbing this very unique, yet funky, re-edit record. Have a great weekend!

Noir Désir - Le Vent Nous Portera (Rubber Room Rerub)

Mid-Eastern Disco

Rubber Room just recently released one of the year's most interesting disco edits in "Taliban Discotheque", which happens to be a re-edit of Aït Meslayene's funky 1976 gem "El Fen". The original song was released as the B-side track to Meslayene's hard-to-find twelve-inch single Yémma and has a bit of a cosmic mid-eastern groove that becomes rather addicting over time. There's not huge differences between the re-edit and the original, however the Disco Devil crew was able to beef the song up a bit with a thicker bass and drum groove. That being said, the edit does just enough to make this already very unique and addicting disco gem that much better. Plus, the re-edit release makes it a lot easier, as well as a much cheaper route in obtaining a version of the song. Here is the 1976 'nearly impossible-to-find' original.
