Four years after his last album-length excursion, Periodica Records founder Dario de Pace fires up his Mystic Jungle project for another voyage into disco/boogie/jazz-funk/cosmic fusion. Deviant Disco could well be his most accessible, dancefloor-focused release to date. Opening number 'Don't Stop Your Love' is a cowbell-sporting slab of squelchy synth-boogie, while the track that follows, 'Get Down On It', joins the dots between electrofunk, Chic and the proto-house sounds of Paul Simpson. Over on the flip, 'Hold On To Your Dreams' is a hazy drift through Balearic AOR territory, 'Money Wonder' is a dubbed-out Afro-cosmic disco shuffler and 'Keep Alive This Fire' is a wonly Italo-disco throb-job. In a word: superb!
