About this deal

Though pop in nature, its subject matter is more political, as Paolo described “'Brumaire' was written about historical revisionism and the danger of adopting images of the past which Marx discussed in “Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte”, where the song gets its name from. In this piece, Marx talks about how Napoleon resurrected and mythologised visions of the past to serve his own political agenda”. Merging disco, post-disco 80s pop, and boogie into the fold, 'MLDE' was recorded using only analog instruments, giving it warmth and space. Recorded on cassette, ¼ and ½ inch tape, this gives moments of lo-fi abstraction between the beats of an aggressive, tight drum kit. Instruments used for this recording range-from saxophone, trumpet, harpsichord, guitar, and rare analogue synthesisers. The bass sound is shaped by early 80s boogie records, and the influence of artists such as Hamlet Minassian can be heard in some of MLDE's more driving-disco outings, such as 'Hues Of Red'. In the tradition of Soviet vocal group records, which the band has studied, some songs are sung by a vocal quartet in homage to this tradition.

The band released their first EP Memory Three Sec in 2000. This was a lo-fi recording and it did not receive much attention. More notoriety came with their second effort Ghosttown Effect, released in 2001. The band's first single "Turpentine", was released off this EP. Disco Ensemble released their sixth album "Afterlife" on January 27, 2017, again through Fullsteam records. Their final tour, named the Last Nights Out – The Farewell Tour, was from 25 October 2018 to 8 December 2018. The final 9 dates of the tour were held at the Tavastia Klubi in Helsinki, Finland.

Reviews

Their fourth studio album The Island of Disco Ensemble was released on May, 26th 2010. First single from the album White Flag For Peace was released and aired in the Finnish radio channel YleX on 15 February 2010. The band was formed in 1996 by guitarist Jussi Ylikoski and drummer Mikko Hakila, who started by playing Metallica and AC/DC covers. Originally they were named simply DisCo. but they were forced to change their name to Disco Ensemble due to a Finnish electronic pop group having the same title. Marxist Love Disco Ensemble was formed by percussionist Paolo Volkov in Bologna with a number of Italian, Slovenian and Croatian jazz musicians. It was recorded at a makeshift studio in Ljubljana with the group spending a two week period living together, improvising and transcribing the jams into something more coherent.
