Cosmic disco but not in the Norwegian sense. I'm talking wonky, shonky, slightly dystopian synth music for future discos.
That's what fills Doug Shipton's Plastic Dance set for VF Mix 69. It supports the second instalment of Finders Keepers' Plastic Dance strand, a compilation series of obscure punky synth wonders.
There's no tracklist available, probably so you'll buy Plastic Dance 2 when it comes out. And I'm pretty tempted on the basis of this weird little mix. As The Vinyl Factory says, "Featuring 40-odd tracks in just as many minutes this bite sized tome seamlessly stitches together the finest in underrated plastic punk and overpriced synth pop from a global cast of unsung charity shop champions, Euro disco legends and library session royalty." Who could possibly resist?
