B2. Lumo Luvva
Downing landing wheels from Naples by way of Cologne, Jiri Jiri debut with Give Me Disco Vol 1, the first entry in Batov Records' new 12" series named after Raja Zahr's crate-digger staple. Selected by DJ Kobayashi, this four-tracker deals in sun-baked Neapolitan funk and breezy European disco with the occasional detour into Afrosynth shimmer. Formed by Jan Janzen and Niklas Mundemann, with roots in outfits like Muito Kaballa and Yin Yin, the duo lay down heat with 'Gino' and 'Senza Benza', full of fluttering flute, tight percussion and syrupy bassline. Recorded in Naples, where Janzen studied piano, the EP reflects the city's lush, louche and propulsive sway.
