The Emperor Machine - Island Boogie (Leng)

I first stumbled across Andy Meecham back in the early 90's without realising it. He was one of Bizarre Inc, who at the time were causing mayhem across the UK and other rave gripped nations with their "Playing With Knives" single, a dancefloor chaos inducing tune at The Eclipse in Coventry, my regular weekend haunt.

Fast forward thirty odd years and as many monikers - some you might know, many you (and I) wouldn't and say hello to The Emperor Machine's 9th LP, an alias which I was aware of and have been revelling in its disco dub deviance, post punk funk freakiness and cosmic synth shenanigans since it appeared on my radar.

The well named, Island Boogie is his first long player for Leng Records and suitably, without losing any floor allure, it's that bit sunnier & poolside party inclined than some of his more warehouse & low-lit dancefloor designs, and let's face it after 9 LPs you're entitled to stretch your legs a bit. The grooves are tight, there are hooks around every corner and the vibes are set to smile. Neapolitan disco acolytes, Balearic nostalgics and Nu-disco queens will surely approve.
