Soccio Dunnit!
My buddy Chris very kindly gave me vinyl copies of Canadian born Gino Soccio's album's 'S Beat' & 'Face to Face' for which i am truly grateful, what a kind man! 'Face to Face' (1982) is by far the better of the two albums, jammed to the hilt with infectious dance floor cuts. The classic 'It's Alright' is on there, as is 'Remember', but the track that's getting daily spins from me is 'Who Dunnit?'. This track influences and is influenced by an emerging new wave scene and is perfectly merged with the burning embers of Disco in it's final burn (until of course it rises again later). The bass line is all Human League, the guitar riff stolen directly from 'Funky Town', but it's got some classic original vocoder action and lovely girl vocals too, laid over some icy background keys. At 120 bpm's the track will fit effortlessly into a phat electro set being both nostalgic and futuristic, it's all sweetness and ice. Yummy!
