VOSTOK-1


As you probably know, this month marks the 50th anniversary of man's first venture into space. In 1961, Russian Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin completed a full orbit of the Earth much to the dismay of the US.

What you probably didn't know is that Spanish producer Vostok-1, named after Gagarin's spacecraft, has produced a commemorative album marking the occasion. No, it isn't jingoistic Soviet orchestral music, it's funky, funky, filter house, accompanied by 80s-style synth lines and chopped-up vocals.

The album, named "Fifty Years In Space", is 12 tracks of unadulterated disco that make the Sun shine that little bit more.

My personal favourite? Check out "Feeling"!
