So what is the sound of progressive disco? Well it captures the insane rhythm and the unforgiving driving beat that is instantly found in the funk of the early 70s but real disco music also had a formula that would guarantee the hottest DJs success if played at the right time. That formula was a blend of up-tempo rhythm sections laden with South American percussion mixed with soulful vocals and orchestral strings - a symphony of sex, lust and love. Bearfunk change the formula and focus on the rock, electronic and dub elements - slower, sleazy and fun. The aim of the project was to re-imagine (not re-edit) the disco beat and draw inspiration from the progressive approach of their friends and the bands they have on this compilation. Bearfunk bring together some new, raw talent coupled with some familiar names. Do expect hints of Afro-beat, rock, new wave and of course dub. Don't expect to find something that won't make you dance, both fast and slow.
