Gasoline Dance Machine Presents Mustang

Belgian duo Mustang can be best surmised as traversing right across the entire electro spectrum. Combining elements of funk, synthy pop and disco invariably entails Crazy P comparisons in terms of their upbeat grooves and funk-personified bass lines. Take for instance their Chameleon Circus EP on Gomma Records on which Try to Dance and the eponymous track emulate Chris Todd’s outfit to a T but as these guys are signed to Paris’s strictly electro/fashion label Kitsune, expect some seriously trans-European pop to permeate their set (minus the cheese).

While Nu Disco doesn’t quite pin them down (although strains of cosmic sub 120bpm does comprise an aspect of their sound) Discodeine’s collaborative effort with Jarvis Cocker ‘Synchronise’ would be a fair reflection of how shamelessly pop orientated things might potentially get. Nonetheless, with venerated labels Hot Creations and Visionquest the current bastions of the underground that is, according to pack leader Seth Troxler, producing ‘underground pop’, the difference between Cocker’s croonings and Ali Love’s 'Forward Motion' is rendered more negligible than ever.

This won’t be for techno gurners of this world but Mustang’s blend of pop inflected electronica offers all the ingredients for a full dance floor: wiggling posteriors, hand claps and an air of the chic and which maybe just the freak.
