Chord Memory Band 'Marco' (Beats Of No Nation)
Right now, the Aussies are proving they know a thing or two amount doing disco differently. The driving force behind Beats Of No Nation is label boss Jad Lee, aka Jad & the Ladyboy, who has been consistently rocking dancefloors everywhere and beyond for the best part of a decade. His recent signings are the Chord Memory Band (aka Michael Medlycott and Dom Bird), who deliver a deadly four-track EP bubbling with vintage synths, playful melodies and drum machines. The dreamlike analogue treat ‘Marco’ has a dusty four-track tape vibe with a warm, chugging bassline and soulful electronica.
