Gledd - Behind A Cloud

Italy’s Edoardo Barbi, AKA Gledd, who’s previously racked up releases on Masterworks Music, Whiskey Disco and other labels, comes to Saint Wax with a funk/disco four-tracker. As far as we can tell the four cuts are all original productions rather than re-edits – albeit extensive use has doubtless been made of the sampler – with ‘Behind A Cloud’ a laidback, looping summer shuffler with snips of male soul vocal, ‘Want Somebody’ and ‘Sweet Love’ more uptempo, disco-oriented affairs, while ‘I Hold You’ brings the authentically 70s-sounding, Blaxploitation-esque funk vibes. Any/all of the four should keep funk n’ disco floors moving nicely.
