Erefaan Pearce - The Disco Ball EP An invaluable contributor to the H&T catalogue, the Disco Ball EP is unbelievably over ten years old and comes from the genius hands and mind of New Disco pioneer Erefaan Pearce. Of the EP Erefaan says it’s an “antithesis of 80’s synth pop”, all the while remaining true to the analogue sound and groove of this era. A love/hate relationship with the music of the 80’s shines through on side A’s ‘Discotheque’, where house music’s roots were being grown in the 4/4 style of repetitive beats and synth leads, this record has had a magnetic force on the dance floors of South Africa since its completion in 2002. Side B is even older, having seen the light of day as long ago as 2001, and sticking to the theme of paying homage to the analogue synthesizer, ‘Flavour’ is the result of a music producer to be spending a fair chunk of the 80’s and early 90’s drawing musical inspiration from the 8-bit tracks produced for that era’s most successful video games.
