A Sea of Stars (Late Night Synth Vol. 1)

For those of you that missed it, do yourselves a favor and listen to this tape we crafted not too long ago. It's predominately comprised of music that gives you chills. The kinda music you drive home to from a club or party. Music to stare at stars to. Music for the bold and audacious. Music for the night. 

Most of you will probably want a track-listing, which unfortunately was not put up. For individual track questions, contact and follow us on our soundcloud page! 

Announcements

We realize we haven't been keeping you guys entirely in the loop with what's going to be happening in the near future. We're lined up for inter-mixes with tons of old, and new artists of extremely high caiber. From Solidisco to Barretso, Disco Unchained will be presenting both  mixtapes and interviews from the coolest artists on the scene... Artists worth taking out time to really listen to. 

Definitely be on the look out for Falqo's debut on Disco Unchained later this month as well. Most of you know him very well already through his killer new track, "Feel Your Love" (premiered here last month). Our exclusive new inter-mix brings to you a side of Falqo you won't find elsewhere.We'll be getting a better look at  his eating habits, favorite horror flicks,  musical influences, direction, and a whole lot of other fun stuff! Stay tuned! 

Blind Dancers- Parallel Time (Track Premiere)

Who are the "Blind Dancers," you say? Well, they're a rocking new synth-pop band from Lima, Peru, who made their debut a few weeks ago with the track, "Parallel Time". The track was released on Hype Records Peru, and features breathtaking vocals, a cosmic 80's synth-line and an especially catchy chorus. The Blind Dancers are set to release their new album in the near future. Be sure to follow them on SoundCloud!

Barretso.

Here's an interview we've been waiting years to do!  Barretso, a Disco Unchained original favorite, has produced some of the craziest, most uplifting electro music I've ever come across. All of his earlier tracks come highly recommended from us, including but not limited to, "Chase", "We Won't Stop" and "Bright City Lights". 

We recently got in touch with Barretso and wanted to do a piece on him before he releases his newer stuff (Yes, there's a lot of new stuff in the pipeline). Barretso will also be doing an exclusive guest mix for us soon, so be sure to be on the look out for that (there'll be some surprises in that hopefully!)

Frankie AKA Barretso

Shazeb: How did Barretso start? Who is Barretso?

Frankie: I’m a songwriter/singer/audio engineer from Viña Del Mar, Chile. I’ve been making music under ‘Barretso’ since 2009, before that I used to play instruments in a variety of bands from metal to classical. 

Shazeb: Where would you say your strongest musical influences have come from?

Frankie: I grew up listening to a wide range of musical genres because of my dad. I guess that was when I developed a thing for music in general, when I was about 4-5 years old. The genre that instinctively attracted me the most, though, was the late 80’s/early 90’s pop. Listening to all those synthesised catchy little sounds was pretty amusing when I was a kid. I remember being in my room listening to ‘Mecano - La Fuerza Del Destino’ having the best time ever.

Shazeb: What's Barretso's all-time favorite dessert?

Frankie: Hmm, I’m not really a dessert guy but if I had to choose one I would choose a freshly traditionally made tiramisu.

Shazeb:  Where do you see Barretso 5 years from now?

Frankie: I don’t really know where I’ll be with Barretso in 5 more years. The last 5 years have been a journey full of surprises and unexpected paths both musically and personally. So, I wouldn’t know. Hopefully sane enough to keep making music haha.

Shazeb: What's your all time favorite synth-based track (This is hard, and we're known for asking this)

Frankie: Hard question. I’ve got heaps. I’ll just choose one off my favourites randomly. Deftones - Rocket Skates (M83 Remix)

Shazeb: Do you have any new EPs, albums, or singles in the pipeline?

Frankie: Yes, I have. I haven’t released originals in ages but that’s about to change. I’m planning on releasing new material next month. Excited!

Shazeb: We're big fans of your track "We won't stop". Tell us about that. How did Barretso come up with that track?

Frankie: Magic man, magic haha. Nah, If I remember well I was pretty heartbroken at the time I made that song. Making an uplifting synth pop song was the perfect way to counteract all of that.

 Shazeb: What's Barretso's all time favorite horror film?

Frankie: Gravity; that movie is horrible!

Shazeb: Haha! Yes, that movie is on Disco Unchained’s never watch-list! Alright, last thing, is there anything you'd like to shout out to your fans?

Frankie: Thank you for supporting me through all these years. I know I owe you big time, you all will be rewarded soon!
