Although what i know of the Disco Villains is confined to one very short email and a few words on a myspace page, i have the feeling these guys would be a hoot to party with.  This may in part explain how the pair hailing from deepest Southwest US of A have lined up quite a few good looking gigs in the upcoming months.

Although all their tracks could be loosely categorized as ‘electro’, no two of them sound very much the same, which is quite appealing in this era of rubber stamp laptop edits. I’ve posted my faves below. 8-Bit Disaster in particular throws the listener straight into a Metroid dancefloor haze without sounding like a carbon copy of other ‘bleep bleep’ stuff you’ll hear. Refreshing.

Those in SoCal (and Mexico!) should continue to keep their eye out for these fellas.
