I realize the Lemur’s probably going to egg my home for saying this, but I feel I owe you all the deepest of apologies for having nearly disappeared from the blogging world for more than a week! *Cringe* Now, I could go on and spend a bit of time assuring both myself and the disco starved kids around here that my excuse is within reason, however, I feel that it makes more logical sense to simply satisfy the collectively lustful hunger for audio that I’m sure we’re all likely experiencing, as soon as possible. (My excuse would have been lame anyway) As such, I’m proud to present to you, without further ado, Roger… Seventytwo!

So I realize I’ve I’ve been doing quite a bit of genre classification recently, and I’m not entirely too proud of it. Genre’s tend to be based more off of the mathematical side of music (how many beats in a bar, different repetition styles, etc.), and it’s only thanks to my rediscovery of this particularly festive Rogerseventytwo track that I’ve been able to regain control over my mind, so that I might return to appreciating and grouping songs based on the way they make me feel, and not the title that iTunes assigns them.

You might ask why it was this particular track that jarred me back into reality, and I could definitely spend some time answering that question if I wanted to. I could mention the sparks that flew the first time it came on. I could mention the peak hour, euphoric feeling that only a certain few tracks have ever allowed me to feel. I could mention how it was instantly categorized in the holy archives of my mind among the likes of Daft Punk’s One More Time, and Voodoo Chili’s I Need, as one of those triumphant, blissfully sustained cries of joy where no matter how many times you’ve heard the same 4 second loop, you’re always disappointed when the track winds to a close. But in this case, I don’t think there’s any better way to experience the wonder that our humble little Dutch friend has fabricated than first hand. I would, however, recommend that a buddy agrees to keep an eye on you before you let this little kicker do it’s thing. You’re going to want someone to find you when you get lost in your head.

So there’s this band/group/guy/girl/I-don’t-even-know called Voodoo Chili that’s all the rave on Beatport recently. And it’s no surprise, they’re bomb steak, but the thing is, outside of Beatport, they’re literally no where to be found. No Myspace, no wikipedia, no info whatsoever. I couldn’t even find an image to throw up (hence the bleak and boring text). It’s a total bummer, considering they’ve got such a catchy early disco style that I’m just dying to hear more of. Hopefully they’ll find their way to the surface soon. Or maybe Trevor Lovey will reveal his sources. Either way, I’d be a happy little boy. Enjoy!

Edit:
I got a response to this post with a bit of info. Apparently this guy’s a British producer that works under several pseudonyms, one of which happens to be Voodoo Chili. Others include Action Man, The Count, and Young Lovers. you can check him out on his Myspace page, or as he’s titled it, HerveSpace
