The EDM scene is a perpetually forward moving machine. New genres are constantly being explored : old ones forgotten. After three decades of existence, the ever nostalgic disco scene lives on. Hips swiveling, fingers pointing and hands twirling, the disco ball gathers no moss. On the contrary:

Jean Tonique is a 22-year-old nudisco producer based in Paris, France. With shlappin’ bass riffs and Ed Banger inspired kick/snare combos, this kid shakes up a boogie cocktail of filter disco. His newest track, ‘Sunshine Cleaning,’ just dropped last week and has this groovy Jackson 5 meets funky Breakbot feel.

Both EDC and Coachella are sold out. Slowly, the scene continues to drown under a dogpile of dubstep worshipping fratheads and camera toting, half naked, facebook-beezies. Let me tell you, there was once a time when loud, bass n’ rage bangers were the thing, but those days have long passed. As the summer quickly approaches, the real kids get ready to disco.
