Following on the hot footsteps of their killer 12” for Dissident last year, Glasgow’s Den Haan release an absolute monster of a Hi-NRG record on Optimo. It’s the tracks on the flip that stand out though, in particular “Metamorphosis”. Sleazy disco at its best. There are also stand out releases from Legowelt, Jeff Mills, Surgeon, Manuel Tur, Jisco, Urban Tribe, Kavinsky and Pitto.
