Mystery Friend – Nueva Dimension

Fusion Dance makes a fine statement with its first-ever release here. It comes from Mystery Friend who shows off a love of colourful synth work and a range of electronic grooves from disco to techno. ‘Nueva Dimension’ is a retro-future fusion of Italo arps and chilly 80s drums and claps. It’s bright and sugary and fun. ‘Energia Latina’ is a darker cosmic exploration of analogue drum machines and searching synths and ‘Robotico Sintetico’ brings more flashy synth patterns and hints of proto-Chicago house to metallic drum sounds. ‘Control’ is the final offering with more vivid synth modulations and roaming basslines.
