Fever

Fever is the third longplayer by Dutch low end scientist 2562, is his disco album: a thorough reinterpretation of underground disco music from the mid seventies to the early eighties, with his own birth year 1979 as the gravitational point. All based on one simple rule: every single sound, from the smallest background shiver to the most obese sub bass, originates from a disco record – no additional synthesizers, drum computers or other sample sources involved.
‘Disco-edits’, italo homages or filtered loops? Hardly. This is genuinely new and appeasingly retro-free music that respectfully flips its sources so hard even the biggest Paradise Garage connaisseurs won’t recognise what just hit them. Or in the words of musical allies Martyn and Pinch, who independently drew roughly the same conclusion: “Sorry, but I don’t hear that whole disco story in there. This simply sounds like you.”
