Eurostar

With his first longplay Eurostar, the Danish disco-DJ-turned-rock crooner Boogie Rookie seeks to bridge the troubled waters between UK new-wavey rock and sleazy euro-disco. It’s a ten-track italo-rock outburst uniting extreme hedonism, climate crisis and the European railnet.

The album was produced partly in Copenhagen with Danish disco royalty Vinnie Who and balearic-proghouse wunderkind William Winding, and partly on the hills of Napoli with the Neapolitan Italo don Whodamanny.

It also features steamy vocals from the Parisian disco queen Corine and the Danish model-chanteuse Klara Kristin. Already remixed by Prins Thomas, Italo Deviance and Danger Boys, it’s gained traction among DJs who fear neither kitsch nor raw rock’n’roll power.
