THE GEMINI BROS. – NO MORE HITS VOL. 24

No More Hits Italian label takes over for new sounds in Romania

This week started with a great disco house / deep pure acid release that comes from Romania; The Gemini Bros says "No More Hits" banging the 24th volume of the italian label.
Having grown up in the era when Romania made the painful, bloody transition from the Ceausescu regime to take its tentative place in the post-Cold War world, DJs and producers Razvan and Ionut Chiron, AKA The Gemini Bros, have had to travel further than most to establish himself at the vanguard of disco and house music. In Bucharest people can still remember their DJ debut as duo at notorious Web Club. Timeless and kickin' house with hand-up-energy and potential to set dance floor on fire! One day the two twins wanted to go back to Disco roots that have always been in Ionut and Razvan's blood and they felt it was time to play tribute to it; it was not an easy task bringing to disco music a preadaptation to our time - until today! The Gemini Bros mix up the old disco feeling with modern sound.
Gaining already recognition in countries such as England or Germany for subtle ripeness brought to disco music, Razvan and Ionut Chiron now aims to Italian dance floors. Earlier this week came out their first EP for No More Hits offering up three different ways to conquer summery stages: "Squeezed Hands", "Avant La Nuit" and "Libertha".
The Gemini Bros may at heart be a boogie music performers, but they also do a surprisingly good line in acid. Comparisons to their past releases will no doubt abound; with “No More Hits Vol. 24” The Gemini Bros take a melting-acid approach to their influences that includes various southern African styles and dub, making for an infectious deep acid soup. The languid guitars, delicate bells, organ and live percussion of the title and the third tracks are counterbalanced by spacious synths and pitch bent vocals. "Avant La Nuit", an instrumental track, opens with a moody bass synth passage, and then blooms into a coruscating rhythm compound of beats and keys.
