Sweden's Drop Out Orchestra make their debut on BSTRD BOOTS with top notch disco house reconstructions of sure fire party jams. Up first is a monster remake of Daft Punk's "Around The World" (aka "International Track") that really puts the "disco" in the mix with added strings, slappy bass, and an international vocoder roll call. Can't miss with this! Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" might be the butt of many Rickroll gags, but Drop Out Orchestra's disco dub version is no joke! Their remake revitalizes this 80's hit for the modern dancefloor (and it actually works!). On the flip, Diana Ross & The Supreme's get the sexy slo-mo disco treatment on "My World Is Empty Without You" and Cortex's "Freaky" gets an added bump for extra bounce. BSTRD BOOTS hit a homerun with this one. Recommended.
