From the snowy streets of Moscow to the crates of vinyl diggers worldwide, cinematic instrumental combo The Diasonics unleash a new limited edition clear vinyl 45 with two killer tracks taken from the upcoming new album “Ornithology”, set to drop worldwide on October 3 via Record Kicks. On the A side “Oriole” is a vintage disco-funk stormer taking inspiration both from the Soviet-era disco and jazz fusion records, as well as from 70s European library music and synth-funk movement. A minimalist synthesizer melody echoing the song of the oriole, paired with a steady disco-funk groove reminiscent of a train in motion (“Oriole” is also the name of a popular Russian electric train) lay the foundation of their most danceable track to date. The b-side holds the equally strong “Chickadee” a funk stomper with bold bassline and heavy b-boy breaks and percussions and a NY early 80 vibe able to set every dancefloor on fire. A peerless party-starter that you just don’t want to miss it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Kicks","offers":[{"title":"7\" - Transparent","offer_id":51843996057931,"sku":"R9400-1646","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/TheDiasonics-Oriole.jpg?v=1747667767"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/the-diasonics.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
