for this tune hem and terrible shock take apart an 80s soul lp, add some sci-fi synths, lazy drums and a sprinkling of analogue fx. after many painstaking hours of recording the duo take a well earned coffee break, then return to the studio just in time to see the back of the light-footed blunted robots man shortstuff as he runs off chuckling >your vocals are mine now!<. revenge plans are made, vehicles are fuelled up in preparation ? but these activities are cut short by the arrival of an email from the culprit ? it seems that he took the files back to his hq for what he describes as a refix ? with the engines still running, hem and shox check out the file and find it to be a work of genius ? what they hear is an accelerated kaleidoscopic fusion of on-beat claps and snares in a peak-time northern soul style, super heavy subbass hits and hectic syncopated keyboard chops.

tiagos >disambiguation< begins like an aural sea, with a surface made of synthesized swells that rise, fall and crest again. beneath these waves are briefly clangorous metallic noises, searing electro hisses, long-armed synth stretches, and a never ending beat. there are moments of understated beauty floating through this perfect marriage of disco and house, sounds that are there and gone: a bassline that stairsteps and synthetic strings that follow suit: playful keyboard melodies, and percussion provided by tiago himself, who fell in love with music when he learned to play drums as a kid. >nada a perder< (>nothing to lose<) shies away from the extravagance suggested by its name and instead feels relaxed – at least at its outset. against shape shifting synths and the sound of piano house, percussion takes a leading role here, including finger snaps and clanging cowbells. the energy builds to a peak but, even when things are at their most frenetic, this track never loses its studied composure. tiago mirandas remixes and releases have been issued on disco devil, italians do it better, rong music, ene, hands of time, eskimo and claremont 56. he is one half of dj duos slight delay, the sea power & change, and mendes & alçada, and also handles mutiple duties in the band gala drop. tiago has been djing seven hour sets almost every weekend for more than a decade at the infamous lux in lisbon, portugal.

new chain is the debut long-player from new york s small black. richly coloured and thickly layered, it is an absorbing, eclectic and obsessive body of work. the brooklyn group have succeeded in melting together locked and popped drum-shudder, gauzy spirographic synths and subtly contagious, half-remembered melody into ebullient bursts of evocative, subliminal and thoroughly modern pop. the songs are equally informed by the rhythmic bounce and stylistic swagger of more left-leaning contemporary radio rap and r n b as it is the submerged kaleidoscopic swirl of the early 4ad dream factory.
