Rather than revisiting familiar disco classics, \u003cem\u003eGive Me Disco Vol. 02\u003c\/em\u003e digs deeper, bringing together four dancefloor discoveries from across Europe and Asia, including two previously unreleased tracks available here for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpanning Portuguese jazz-funk, Norwegian cosmic oddities, Japanese-inspired psychedelic disco and cinematic groove, the EP reflects the breadth of Kobayashi's record bag - a carefully assembled selection of tracks that have soundtracked his DJ sets for years alongside exclusive material rescued from the vaults.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpening the record is \u003cstrong\u003eThe Bam Jam Band's\u003c\/strong\u003e brilliantly understated \u003cem\u003e\"Theme\"\u003c\/em\u003e, a soaring slice of jazz-infused disco from Portuguese musicians \u003cstrong\u003eSérgio Alves\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ePedro Tenreiro\u003c\/strong\u003e. Originally released only as a now long-sold-out 7 inch on \u003cstrong\u003eMad About Records\u003c\/strong\u003e, the track has become one of Kobayashi's trusted secret weapons, championed by discerning selectors including \u003cstrong\u003eDarryn Jones\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eRed Greg\u003c\/strong\u003e. Built around Alves' dazzling synthesiser work, \u003cem\u003e\"Theme\"\u003c\/em\u003e finally gets the wider audience it deserves. The EP's first exclusive arrives courtesy of \u003cstrong\u003eD. Apal\u003c\/strong\u003e, instrumentalist and member of \u003cstrong\u003eNorway's Flammer Dance Band\u003c\/strong\u003e. His only solo release, issued on the band's \u003cstrong\u003eLysketrekk Records\u003c\/strong\u003e, has become a cult favourite among adventurous record collectors. Batov now unveils the previously unreleased \u003cem\u003e\"60 Meter'n (Rytme)\"\u003c\/em\u003e, an extended instrumental dub that strips away the vocals to let the handclaps, cavernous bassline, dub effects and wonderfully eccentric synthesisers breathe, transforming an underground favourite into an irresistible dancefloor weapon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide B opens with \u003cstrong\u003eYĪN YĪN's\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003e\"Tokyo Disco\"\u003c\/em\u003e, taken from the band's acclaimed third album \u003cem\u003eMount Matsu\u003c\/em\u003e on \u003cstrong\u003eGlitterbeat Records\u003c\/strong\u003e. Long-time admirers of the Dutch quartet, Kobayashi has championed them since first hearing the breakthrough pairing of \u003cem\u003e\"Dis ̄ kô Dis ̄ kô\"\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003e\"Dion Ysiusk\"\u003c\/em\u003e on \u003cstrong\u003eBongo Joe\u003c\/strong\u003e. Since then, he has hosted the band twice on \u003cstrong\u003eSoho Radio\u003c\/strong\u003e and supported them live in London. \u003cem\u003e\"Tokyo Disco\"\u003c\/em\u003e perfectly captures YĪN YĪN's distinctive blend of Japanese-inspired psychedelia, Southeast Asian influences, post-punk funk and shimmering disco grooves, making it a natural fit for the \u003cem\u003eGive Me Disco\u003c\/em\u003e series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClosing the EP is another exclusive from \u003cstrong\u003eJiri Jiri\u003c\/strong\u003e, whose contribution helped launch the series on \u003cem\u003eVol. 01\u003c\/em\u003e. Ahead of their forthcoming album later this year, the duo unveil the previously unreleased \u003cem\u003e\"Spaghetti Western\"\u003c\/em\u003e, a wonderfully off-kilter fusion of \u003cstrong\u003eMorricone\u003c\/strong\u003e-esque cinematic atmosphere, taut funk rhythms and the soulful modern groove of \u003cstrong\u003eSAULT\u003c\/strong\u003e. Equal parts soundtrack and dancefloor curveball, it provides a fitting finale while offering another tantalising glimpse of what's still to come. With two exclusive cuts sitting alongside two carefully chosen modern classics, \u003cem\u003eGive Me Disco Vol. 02\u003c\/em\u003e is another lovingly curated snapshot of DJ Kobayashi's musical universe: borderless, groove-driven and unapologetically built for adventurous DJs, discerning collectors and open minded dancefloors alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Batov Records","offers":[{"title":"12 Inch Black Vinyl","offer_id":59327723045209,"sku":"SDZ-51875","price":21.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/REP_20260904_1143_105427_170_v_4062548148459_001.jpg?v=1788775304","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/various-artists-the-bam-jam-band-d-apal-yin-yin-jiri-jiri-dj-kobayashi-give-me-disco-vol-2-selected-by-dj-kobayashi","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
