Apparently three comic characters bent on world disco domination, Mawkish make their debut on DJ Spiller’s label in fine style. After kiddie story intro, ‘Formula Futuro”s synth chords bowl in worthy of an early Madonna or Janet Jackson single – happy, uplifting and cool before the early 80s New York style boogie groove kicks in. Here in remix form by Spiller and fellow label-mate Glitch it’s a dynamite way to get sucked onto their undulatingly intoxicating dancefloor. ‘Baba’ starts as a glistening hallucino-glide before the halfway piano riff boots it up a level. Finally, ‘No Shampoo’ puts the lid on Mawkish’s wonderful world of disco cheekiness and music that, rarely, puts a big smile on both face and bottom.
