The Dallas, Texas blog-turned-label French Express can do no wrong right now. Hotly-tipped artists on the young roster, like Jonas Rathsman, Perseus and Moon Boots, are stirring up a nu-disco storm in clubland.
But the label's undisputed star is Chris Malinchak, an NYC-based producer with a gift for retro-futurist disco hooks that would make Giorgio Moroder proud.
With several auspicious EPs under his belt, word is definitely out about Malinchak. And whether you're a techno head or old-school house lover, we doubt you can resist the serotonin-spiking dancefloor exuberance of his sound.
Maybe you had the chance to boogie with Malinchak at Bardot last Thursday. But if you didn't, you'll get the chance to catch him along with Perseus at the Shore Club on Sunday.
Crossfade: Your sound is retro, yet modern or even futurist. What would you say are your main musical influences past and present?
