In The Remix 2026: Nu Disco / Disco — A Compilation That Rewrites the Dancefloor
Few remix compilations manage to articulate the current state of nu disco and its classic roots with such coherence. In The Remix 2026: Nu Disco / Disco is precisely that: a sonic map spanning from the warm analogue glow of original disco to the most contemporary textures of European nu disco, with 18 cuts that leave no room to breathe and demonstrate why this genre remains one of the most vital in the underground circuit.
The compilation opens with a formidable statement of intent. Pawa! (Crazy P Vocal Dub), the result of a collaboration between Crazy P, Asha Puthli and Say She She on Naya Beat, sets the emotional tone for the entire collection: deep groove at 118 BPM in C minor, with Puthli's voice serving as the spiritual anchor of the set. Immediately after, Berlin Boogie Town in Boombass's remix for Cassius and Kapote (Toy Tonics) pushes the pulse to 133 BPM, injecting a Berlin dancefloor energy that contrasts brilliantly with the opening.
The middle section of the compilation is where its true editorial weight lies. Feeling Wide (Prins Thomas Diskomiks) is undoubtedly the most ambitious piece: nearly ten minutes in which Prins Thomas, XL Middleton, FSQ and Moniquea build their own universe through Soul Clap Records. At 112 BPM in Ab Major, this cut is pure Norwegian cosmicism fused with American soul, and justifies the existence of this volume on its own. Meanwhile, Magic Fly (The Toxic Avenger Remix) revisits the SPACE classic with a production that honours the original's electronic DNA while transporting it into the present with surgical precision, released via Because Music.
