Horse Meat Disco @ Meltin Pot, 5 June

Horse Meat Disco are this month's main ingredient to Melting Pot's disco bouillibaisse

What should sound like a misadventure of Rocinante-esque proportions (Horse Meat Disco throw themselves into the Melting Pot...no?) will not only sate your appetite for a mezze of next-level disco cutlets – courtesy of the combined talents of London quartet Horse Meat Disco and Melting Pot residents Andrew Pirie and Simon Cordiner – but may also encourage a reappraisal of the genre’s stubborn, Linusesque attachment to Giorgio Moroder as Horse Meat Disco release their second mix album on 22 June via Strut Records. Once James Hillardet al hoof it from the Admiral to continue on their European tour, we live in hope that diehard Moroder fiends might let the safety blanket slide some; after an entrée of quintessential, Hype Machine-proof crate-digging – from Leonore O'Malley's ebullient italo strains to the gaudy afrobeat of El Coco – everything else tastes like chicken.
