ARTWORK disco & house set in The Lab LDN
An ARTWORK disco & house set is a welcome reminder that fun is not a dirty word in club music—this is all about glitterballs, cowbells, and the sheer, unadulterated joy of a four-on-the-floor groove. The Lab LDN suddenly feels like a timeless basement party where the dress code is 'dance first, ask questions later'. This is a pure, uncynical journey through disco, house, and acid, with a BPM that happily meanders from 111 to 128, averaging a perfect dancefloor tempo of 125, and anchored in the joyous key of 12A. The energy is balanced for maximum groove: a healthy low-end at 0.57, mids at 0.30 for the funky guitars and vocals, and a lively high-end at 0.12 for the disco strings and synth zaps.
The mixing is playful and musical, often letting classic tracks play out to their full, chorus-heavy glory. The tracklist is a historian's delight. Opening with Roy Ayers' 'Aragon' is a statement of intent—vibraphone-led jazz-funk perfection. Rude Futures & Danilo Plessow's 'Acid Reaction' brings a squelchy 303 line into the mix, while Alex Dolby's 'Sintesi' is a minimal tech-house classic.
Kano's 'I Need Love' is an Italo-disco masterpiece, and Men From The Nile's 'Watch Them Come' is deep Chicago house royalty. The Glitter Band's 'Makes You Blind' is glam-rock turned disco, and Blaze's 'My Beat' is pure, soulful house energy. The set starts on the sunny side of the street with 'Aragon', builds through the acid-inflected drive of 'Sintesi' and the epic, vocal drama of Under 19's 'Call Me In America', and wraps up with the cheeky, synth-pop nod of Conor's 'Bonus Drugs'.
