Vital Spark Diskoteket

The debut release from hot new Glasgow label Curriculum Vital comes from none other than its founder Vital Spark. Written and recorded during the cold harsh Scottish winter, Diskoteket is the antithesis of the long dark nights, exuding positive vibes and playfulness. On the A-side, the EP's title track Diskoteket pays homage to our neighbours across the North Sea, whilst the A2 Leijonat looks even further east, an imagined anthem to its namesake. The B-side opens up with Stone Of Destiny, a Eurodance channelling banger dedicated to a certain watering hole in Glasgow's West End. Those who know, know...Finally the record finishes with Pace Yourself, a straight up peak time club cut with a gentle reminder to take it easy once in a while. With Diskoteket, Vital Spark provides a modern take on the classic sounds of genres like Italo Disco and Eurodance - big synths, liberal use of arpeggiators and just the right amount of nostalgia.
