Jac That Disco

Our second offering of Mad March Mixes is from Jac the Disco. We’ve had our eye on Jay and Pac since we saw their Fabric debut with Erol Alkan in January, and their mix of jangly disco (they list disco royalty Tensnake and Azari & III as favourites) with grittier dark minimalism had us hooked.

Smooth Like A Snake


This name has been bandied around a lot recently in connection with The Swiss, Junior Boys, and the mysterious Polargeist, but his own tracks are pretty special too.

Hamburg’s Marco Niemerski, aka Tensnake is from the Permanent Vacation stable along with Azari & III, and shares many of their smooth nu-disco tones.

Here’s Coma Cat, out 5 February on Permanent Vacation, and sampling the vintage Antony and The Camp – What I Like.

Some selected remix delights (there are a lot more on Soundcloud)
Polargeist – Home From the Can (Tensnake remix)
Toby Tobias – In Your Eyes (Tensnake remix)
