August: 6 disco releases you need to hear this month

Stupid Human 'Obey The Chief' (Stupid Human)

Stupid Human was a regular face on the London music scene for many years, releasing quality records for the Balearic disco heads. He recently relocated to Oslo, where he’s been putting those long winter nights to good use. His latest release takes its title from Ebenezer Obey, who supplies the vocals on this beautifully constructed Afro-disco piece. The track rolls along gently over a programmed electronic drum beat, while omnipresent cowbell reminiscent of the Ethio-jazz masterpieces of Hailu Mergia is brought up to date with deep pads and subtle acid shimmers.
