Repressed! D*I*R*T*Y are fighting against musical boundaries, and setting up parties (monthly at the famous Parisian club, Le Paris Paris), and releasing compilations (Dirty Diamonds, three volumes on Diamondtraxx Records) made by nerds for non-nerds. Since their last opus in 2006, they launched a series of 12"s (the Dirty Edits, acclaimed by Laurent Garnier, Ivan Smagghe, Optimo, DJ Naughty, Erol Alkan, Ewan Pearson), and have been playing their DJ-not-DJ sets all over the world. After three all-over-the-place compilations, they come back with a new thematic compilation series, injecting a certain dose of subjectivity, bad faith, and never yielding to self-content feelings -- the main danger of that exercise. Their mission is simple: to blow away musical boundaries, to make underground music accessible to everyone, to decode musical trends by finding these little known but essential songs, and to carefully avoid dogmatism. This first volume is devoted to what they call "space disco" that you may also call "cosmic disco." Many things in this record feed an alternative vision of the genre: from cosmic disco (popularized in Italy in the early '80s by Daniele Baldelli), to new wave, to slow, slow, slow disco. Dirty Space Disco is the definitive summer compilation, a real hot record, but also very cold. Artwork made by graphic designers Laurent Fetis and Elisabeth Arkhipoff. Artists include: John Forde, Roedelius, Clara Mondshine, Pilooski, Undisputed Truth, Fern Kinney, John Miles, Conrad Schnitzler, Yellow Power, Tony Esposito, Odyssey, Sylvester, Risque and Starbow.
