The duo sound like a kids programme that has long since been forgotten, whilst the title of the lead track begs the question who is chopping the K?

However, after hounding Death From Abroad label managers by email and being commissioned to remix acts such as The Juan Maclean, the duo’s first release on the new DFA imprint doesn’t really ask any questions.

The reason for this being that both tracks are completely ace.

Daniele Baldelli’s original Cosmic Disco leanings are becoming something of the anti nu-rave kids’ choice du jour at the moment.

As well as nights like London’s Milky Disco and Lazer Magnetic, championing disco in all forms, from Prins Thomas’s slow grooving burnouts to ‘A Mountain of Ones’ wistful death valley disco prog, this single couldn’t have come at a better time — just primed for London’s cooler, slower moving, sexier dance floors.

Whilst ‘K-Choppers’ is wrapped in a slow motion atmospheric disco blanket, its the flipside, ‘Brown Bred’ that sounds like a long lost Sal Soul, percussive disco hit that surely is the true gem on this release.

Both tracks though sit nicely within the world of underground disco with leanings — for now at least — aimed towards creativity rather than sales.

Yet both seem poised to sonically blow up, but in a very slow, exceedingly cool and exceptionally sexy way, of course.
