Giorgio Moroder Week at AudioPorn Central!

A snippet from my other musical life - as an editor of AudioPorn Central - this is huge, so it needs to be posted here as well...

Ladies and gentlemen, it is a great honor for us to introduce a high-octane collaboration between AudioPorn Central and one of the most interesting labels on the sizzling disco and nu-disco scene: MB Disco.

All week we’ll be focusing on the brand new release from MB Disco – the legendary Giorgio Moroder’s classical and seminal Italo-Synth Disco tune E=MC2. MB Disco pays tribute to the godfather of disco by inviting some of the most influential names from the early 80s Italo-Electronic scene, includingAlexander Robotnick, of Problèmes d’Amour fame and Daniele Baldelli, one of the founding fathers of the Cosmic Disco scene in Italy.

Naturally, we got a few exclusives to share with you this week – and some really exiting news as well. We’ll also be giving away 5 of the Italian Connection release on double vinyl 12″ and many other things. So make sure you visit us every day.

For all the latest news and updates, make sure you drop by MB Disco over at Facebook as well and Like them – all sorts of goodies can and will pop up there as well. And why not drop by MB Disco over at SoundCloud to catch up with some fresh tunes as well?

Copycat on Drop Out Orchestra's October mix

"Disco Thang" opens the Orchestra's latest official mix. Sweet.

"Disco Thang" on Burn Studios' Top 10 October!

Guess who made it to #6 on Burn Studios' Top 10 October!

Copycat hyped by the Drop Out Orchestra

The best orchestra in the world quite fancy my new single, "Disco Thang". Apart from including it in a couple of their special dj mixes, they're treating it to some decent lovebombing as well

Says Gary of the Drop Out Orchestra in an online interview: "My favourite track right now is a slow mo synth bopper by Copycat called "Disco Thang". He is from Sweden like us, and definitely one to watch. If the guy in charge of the soundtrack to Drive would have heard the song it would have been in the film, definitely, it's exactly that vibe."

Read the rest of the interview - and listen to their mix - here.

Here's another of their mixes with "Disco Thang" in it.

"Disco Thang" set for official release

Good news. My "Disco Thang" is getting an official release, courtesy of Swedish disco label MB Disco. More updates as and when... Stay tuned.
