When we talk about ✨songs of the summer ☀️ they always seem to be these huge energetic pop-facing tracks, but IMO we don’t give enough love to the tracks that make the fullness of the dance floor sustainable regardless of the time of your summer soiree. French groove master Yuksek seems to be able to craft these crucial concoctions with the same level as ease that I feel when I’m excitedly reciting an artist’s catalog and my respective field notes for each release to someone on the outskirts of fandom. “Fantasia” is the opener from his latest album, Dance’o’Drome and is undoubtedly a track designed to lull you into a sexy subtle sway as a means to cool you down a bit so you’re able to literally dance the night away. It’s also a sign from the universe that we all need more Italo disco in our lives. That might just be me, but I think we both know I’m right regardless.

Speaking of excitedly reciting an artist’s catalog, Kono Vidovic over at Dirty Disco Radio wrote such a fucking gorgeous review of Dance’O’Drome that all I can think to add to his notes on the record is, “I am especially very happy to be alive listening to this.”
