Supperclub Naivety

"For me, naivety means being able to enjoy the wonderful things and moments in life without compromising," explains DJ Marcello, creative compiler of Supperclub's latest offering in their Ninesins series - Naivety. "I have tried to put this feeling into this album, in its melodies and the beautiful and positive vocals that embrace life. Always try to see things as through the eyes of an innocent child. Enjoy the things in life. Keep a smile on your face. Celebrate life. You're allowed to!"

A Dutch institution with over thirty years in the DJing and promoting game Marcello might not appear an obvious choice of partner for Supperclub, but after hearing one of his Slowdance CDs - a series of homemade compilations he makes every now and then for his friends - the label were hooked. Less the last songs of a teenage disco, more post-dinner, pre-dancing soundtracks, the Slowdance series focused on slowly getting you in the mood for dancing, gradually nudging listeners towards the dancefloor, building to a climax of foot shuffling and hip-shaking.

It's clear that Marcello has transferred this concept to Naivety, hand-picking two CDs of melodic melancholy, with a Balearic influence straight from the beaches at Sa Trinxa. Opening CD1 with downtempo tracks, including the Edu K remix of Otto feat. Bebel Gilberto's 'Bob', Marcello leads the listener into shimmering laid-back funk of Ta'raach and Ralph Falcon & Victoria Wilson James, before the Latin-tinged strains of Ennio Morricone, as re-worked by Amalgamation Of Sound, make way for the bass of Hot Coins' Norway Men and Aeroplane's Caramellas.
