Vidal Benjamin ‎– Disco Sympathie (Limited Edith Sampler) - Versatile Records ‎– VER094

In October, Gilbr's Versatile imprint will release a collection of obscure French disco, boogie, and synth-wave jams put together by renowned Parisian crate-digger Vidal Benjamin. Here, the label presents a second sampler, featuring re-edits of cuts on the comp. The real killer is Jean-Marc Misere's Pure Beat Edit of Raymond Et Les Moutards' "Y'en A Marre", which turns the original into a locked-in chunk of dancefloor-friendly boogie underpinned by a superbly rubbery bassline. The A-side edit of "Gibraltar" by Marc Chantereau is pretty tasty, too, with the eccentric original - all whoops, loose disco, and zany vocals - being given a well-judged dancefloor tweak...
