FROMAGE DISCO ALL THE TIME!

It doesn't matter where you are, what you're doing, how you're feeling, there is always a time and a place for Melbourne's Fromage Disco!

Yeeeeha! :-) So please take the time to read what our super fucking cool and ridiculously talented friends Nate and Trav have to say and then do yourself a favor, go out and buy their records. They wont let you down, trust us!

Many hugs and kisses,

Shari, Vari & Fromage Disco xxxx

P.S. If you are on the Gold Coast and wanna dance your ass off, the boys are in town! How lucky are we...???!! Join Fromage Disco and one half of The Number 20 team (Vari you'll be there via iPhone and spirit) and come down to Elsewhere this Friday night! Sooooooo exciting! :-)

Who are Fromage Disco?
Fromage Disco is Dr Disconyx and Nate B. It originally started as a party where we could both play the music we loved, turned into a DJ duo, and ended up producing music. Now its a brand that encompasses all three.

How did this whole music thing start?
As above, an excuse for a couple of mates to play the music they love. We had both been doing DJing and events for a number of years before meeting up in Melbourne, found that music here was too minimal for our liking and that we wanted to hear proper music. So, we started a night that allowed us to play the disco sounds we loved, along with house, techno, and whatever else we felt like at the time.

What’s just been released?
The big news for us is the release of our first 12" 'Vicious' on UK imprint Needwant Recordings, home of the future disco compilations. Runaway have done a cracking remix for the vinyl, while Melbourne local Agent 86 has turned in a great remix for the digital release. There's also a few remixes we have finished for Brisbane's Dektek Records in the last few months, our attempt at writing some slow house.

What can we look forward to in the near future?
More music, more gigs, and undoubtedly more beer drinking. An upcoming single 'Acidic Strings' for Agent 86's label Lightspeed Recordings, complete with remixes by Pete Herbert and ex Fromage Disco resident DJ Andy Wallace. That's to be followed by our first release for Melbourne bangers Smashbang Records. We'd also like to work on a Fromage Disco live set.

Where do you continually get your inspiration?
Nate: Listening to music, whether its singles, mixes, or whatever. We just listen to a huge variety of music, between the 2 of us I think country, trance, and hard house are about the only things we dont have covered. That's often reflected in our DJ sets, you never know quite what you will hear and we like to draw on a lot of different styles for our productions. At the moment its hard not to be inspired by the wave of slow house sweeping the globe, its a real throwback to sounds I loved 10-12 years ago mixed up with touches of disco and its been the biggest inspiration for us in 2009.
Travis: Listening to the music Nate collects or other djs mixes.

Who are your hero’s?
Nate: I hate this question, can I just say Dr Disconyx?
Travis: aaah shucks, probably the dudes from Chic, Kubrick, Moroder or Tsutomu Kato and Tadashi Osanai. I'm easily persuaded.

What do you listen to when you want to relax?
Nate: The Revenge's Skinny Slow Mo mix has been a highlight of the last few months. Such beatiful music I can just bliss out to. Although it doesnt have to be slow to chill me out, I still remember coming home from school as a kid and falling asleep in front of the speakers listening to hardcore and punk at high volumes. Travis: Beruit, Midlake, Sebastian Tellier, Bowie, aphex ambient stuff, Joakims bread and butter mix, alot of mixes of cool in the pool actually. Some mixes I've got from Blentwell and some mixes I got from Factmagazine, some fromagedisco mixes.

Weirdest gig?
Nate: It has to be the Berlin Sessions gig at Prince Bandroom a couple of months ago. Isolee and something else (?) were conspiring to keep me off kilter all night long. TRAVVY!!!! Thank god that video interview never turned up on the Berlin Sessions website. Travis: I played a gig at a sex party that was pretty weird. I was clothed the entire time, seriously! Also when I started out (2000ish) I covered for my mate for a month at a strip bar. I called in sick and went to the bigdayout and one of the girls 'boyfriend/pimp' who use to go around asking for a gold coin donation to get the girl a boobjob said he would play for free. I got the sack, I lost the job for my mate and it took ages to get paid. Worse gig ever! But it all honesty it was the best thing that happened, I thought I could make it all Studio54/Playboy Mansion with naked girls and the such and it just so wasn't. I also have a terrible voice and I can't do the 'come on guys giveeeee it upppp for Phorsche' or some typical stripper name.

Dream gig?
Nate: Been there, Millenium NYE in Miami. 6 hours of Victor Calderone followed by 11 hours of Danny Tenaglia. There were other rooms at the gig too but I dont remember them. With open bar all night I'm surprised I remember much at all! Travis: I love the soundsystem in Fabric.

Favourite food?
Nate: Chocolate, particularly dark chocolate. Only problem with dark though is that you feel sicker after binging on a whole block. I find Hazelnut is much better for a good binge. Travis: Anything my Mum or my Fiance makes.

Favourite website?
The Number 20 ;-), DJ history, Bumrocks, Fact Magazine, WFMU and anything to do with free music theory tutorials.

Not Drowning New Waving (November 09 Mix)

FEED ME! IM HUNGRY.

I want a Shari made sandwich now!

Plant Life - When she smiles she lights the sky (4 hero remix)

SOMETIMES, WHEN ALL THAT'S LOST REMAINS

With eyes wide shut we lay stagnant awake
Safe for now in this wonderous state
Lost at a crossroad that's missing a sign
How do we know if they made it alive
There's something lurking in the distance ahead
Fragments of light shine away from the dead
They fantasize fury, no time left to stop
Its darkness approaching now we're at a loss

Sometimes, when all that's lost remains
Drink from the fountain of youth and never age again
Sometimes it jump across to every cloud
Fly away get lost and never be found

There's something lurking from the shadows within
Stealing the colour and life from my skin
They fantasize fury at no extra cost
Darkness approaches now we're at a loss

ohhh uuuuh

Sometimes, when all that's lost remains
Drink from the fountain of youth and never age again
Sometimes it jump across to every cloud
Fly away get lost and never be found

Never be found, never be found ...

TIME TO BREAK IT ALL DOWN

Every time I hear this groove, it makes me want to move.

Must be the feeling it brings to you that makes you feel what to do.

I know I can't keep still for I don't mind to hold you within.

When it comes, I start to yell, the next down on the floor.

Green lights start to flash, telling me it's time to go.

Sirens start to sound, that means for me to get on down.

It's time to move, time to get loose, anywhere you are.

It's time to groove, me and you out there on the floor.

There's no way to keep on grooving, no matter how you try.

And around, you feel that pain, I wouldn't tell you no lie...
