Soft Rocks - Disco Power Play - The Album (2011)

Brighton-based scalpel fiends Soft Rocks have never been your average re-edit mercenaries. As this excellent album proves, they're far more interested in breathing new life into dusty flamenco weird-outs, forgotten dub cuts and obscure progressive disco than tinkering with the tried and tested. It's a refreshing approach that pays dividends time after time. Over the course of 13 delightfully leftfield selections, we're treated to a kaleidoscopic selection of druggy power pop, deep-fried disco-funk, lo-slung cosmic rock, oddball afro-disco and, most delightfully, a stupidly Balearic disco-reggae cover of "In A Gadda Da Vida". It's utterly bonkers, but also very, very good.
