Also Playable Mono Feat. Fred Ventura – All We Need

Lovin’, freedom, passion… just three key ingredients make up the bare necessities of wellbeing, which must be secured before we venture into the endless subjectivities of human happiness. Crack this emotional code, and you’re in for a good time, so say the Bordello A Parigi resident players Also Playable Mono (Rafal Lachmirowicz) and Fred Ventura. Teaming up for the first time for a blistering take on nu-glossy Italo disco – informed by the former’s nascently needly version of the sound, and the latter’s contrastingly classic post-punk come club education of the same – this insanely glittered plumper features Ventura feature on vocals through alternating takes on the present global condition, the A-sider marking a stark contrast to the A2 side’s suddenly socially charged statement, ‘System Breakdown On Wikileaks’. The B-side ventures veer vocoded, flipping the script onto two further, emphatic pleas for change.
