For their 14th release, Jerry Bouthier's imprint, Continental Records is jetting off to Jakarta, Indonesia, to hook up with local electrodisco heroes, Mjolnir.
Inspired by European synth pop, Mjolnir is the brainchild of Nara Anindyaguna and Catra Adhiwardana, who dub their sound as "Dark Disco Funk". The pair's been getting steady, growing love from the best blogs out there thanks to winning melodies, skilled musicianship and a fresh - not so quite easy to pigeonhole - approach that's seen them remix The Chemical Brothers, Chromeo and more. Rising up from the capital city of Indonesian the duo's music hits and excites every eardrums with wondrous beat and splendid performance.
The EP contains four brand new reinterpretations taking the gorgeous "Just A Boy" to new heights. JBAG, aka Continental bosses Jerry Bouthier and Andrea Gorgerino could not resist giving it a glam make-over that’s both nostalgic and uplifting at the same time. Fresh from their debut "Bombay Night Story", Continental's last release, Switzerland’s Mannequine deliver an ambitious re-rub that climaxes with housey pianos. Next, Vancouver-based rising producer Pat Lok gets rough and funky without losing the soulful gist of the original composition. Finally Helsinki's Castletics combines robodisco groove and timeless euro flavours.
Mjolnir's Just A Boy EP is available now on iTunes, Beatport and Amazon.
