INFO
Eskimo Recordings is back for its annual inspection of what propels the Belgian imprint's throttle, exploring the bounda ries of their house, disco and pop infusions in 'The Yellow Collection'.
< br> The fifth episode of their colour collections checks in with renowned artist s and esteemed guests recognisable from the label such as Du Tonc, This Soft Mac hine, Atella and Man Power, as well as visiting fresh faces and novel sounds fro m the likes of Mexico's Zombies In Miami, Los Angeles's LUXXURY, Israeli duo Mid dleskyboom & Eliezer, and Belgium's own Go March and Blackie & The Oohoos.

The opening moments of 'The Yellow Collection' come from Eskimo's core art ists, tasting the superior quality of its roster with Norway's Atella, "one of t his new wave's best" according to Thump. Greek producer NTEIBINT's 'By Your Side ' is a deliciously mellow and disco tinged track that features the former Twin S hadow bassist Rush Midnight (aka Russ Manning) and the unstoppable Du Tonc's hea d spinning classic 'We Can Hold On' cultivates the pinnacle of the unique indie/ disco sound suffused with pop sensibilities that Eskimo does so well. 'The Yello w Collection' unveils the previously unreleased dub mix from iconic German duo, Satin Jackets, for the first time.

Geordie in Mexico, Man Power showc ases 'Fisky', a driving and hypnotic cut that follows nicely on from his recent contribution to Permanent Vacation and his nomination as artist of the year from XLR8R. This Soft Machine has graced both Nicolas Jaar's Other People label and Eskimo's The Orange Collection, plus picked up props from the likes of FACT maga zine for his robotic demeanor, revisited in 'It's Operational' that can be first heard on 'The Yellow Collection'.

Handpicking talent from the local Belgian scene, Eskimo present two new acts from Antwerp for the project. Go Marc h is an instrumental group whose debut single for the label, 'Rise' stretches a post-rock groove in a sort of Mogwai meets Kraftwerk synthesis. While the dark, hypnotic and electronic Blackie & The Oohoos's 'Aphexy' shifts 'The Yellow Colle ction' towards rhythm and coherence and shows a band at the top of their game. < br>
Well-known figures from the Tel-Aviv scene, MiddleSkyBoom & Eliezer Pe rez embrace their post garage influences, Scandinavian melodies and rough improv isation in 'Slow With The Run' and in the true spirit of 1970s smooth disco and funk, 'Breathe' is stunning original material from LUXXURY following support fro m the likes of SPIN magazine. The LA based moniker was first brought to global a ttention by some unexpected legal kerfuffle a couple of years ago over some unof ficial remixes of classic songs by The Eagles, Blondie, David Bowie and Duran Du ran (who later invited them to make an official remix).

At the heart of the collection are two acts from the cooler Scandinavian climates of Norway t hat are familiar to the tastebuds of Eskimo fans. The alluring vocals of Else Bo rn (also known as Norway's finest pop export Philco Fiction) appear on 'Colours' , a track from Horixon that references 90's R&B, classic house and a touch of ga rage and Oslo's Vinny Villbass finds his way back onto Eskimo with 'The Itch' an d it's haunting synths that infiltrate the lower frequencies.

A final introduction to the label, Zombies in Miami are one of the most prominent elect ronic acts in Mexico, known for releases on Kompakt, Correspondant, and Bedrock and their track 'El Wild' manages to capture the menace, drive and excitement of their unbridled live show. While 'You Could Be Floating' sees James Curd & Turb otito return to Eskimo after first appearing on Aeroplane's compilation half a d ecade ago. Their melancholic cut of disco hedonism is a result of a few weeks in Australia skating and writing music in order to earn a few extra miles.
< br> Each artist has their own identity but Eskimo forms a package of seamless mu sical treats and forges yet new allies in the dreamy landscape of 'The Yellow Co llection'.
