Having got us all hot under the feathered boa with the seductive Galaxie, Andrew Armstrongs Daddy Squad returns to Eskimo Recordings with two new tracks, Longer The Day and Double Love Attack, disco house heaters whose live instrumentation, analogue synths and joyous massed vocals are both guaranteed to keep dancefloor fires burning throughout the winter months. This time around Armstrong finds himself in the company of Berlin based US singer Snax, and in Double Love Attack theyve crafted a celebration of the simple, yet increasingly under fire, joy of sexual expression and hooking up with hot people in even hotter clubs. Twenty years on since his last appearance on Eskimo, Snaxs vocals and piano have lost none of their power and in Armstrongs euphoric heavy disco house have found the perfect foil, leading us deep, deep down in to a sensual meltdown. If Double Love Attacks focus is on all the fun stuff that happens inside our clubs, Longer The Day looks out at the forces who are increasingly targeting these spaces and those for whom they provide a safe haven. With its roots in the underground Black and LGBTQ+ scenes of the 1970s, disco has always had as much a militant streak as a hedonistic one, and Longer The Day is a worthy addition to the rich canon of protest disco, a call to arms that thanks to its bumping rhythms and stirring stabs will keep you dancing as much as it will in the good fight ahead.
