I first got turned onto Donnie Sloan through music blogging institution Fluo Kids. But because I don’t speak or read French I got the mistaken idea that Donnie Sloan was actually a side project of Nicky Van She. Turns out that it was just that Nicky got the Fluo kids onto Donnie.
Donnie Sloan is a Sydney based musician who produces some fantastic new disco sounds, exactly the kind of thing I am into at the moment.
The track below has been on the blogs for 12 months now but there is a whole swag of new material in the works to come out next year. That synth, that bassline - I feel like calling you up. Can someone please get Miami Horror, Moulinex and Russ Chimes into a room together with Donnie Sloan? Throw in come cocaine, a couple of titty girls and a speed boat and you have yourself a masterpiece.
When not working on his own music Donnie performs with Sneaky Sound System on bass and synth as well as doing DJ support. Oh, and he is also co-producing the second Sneaky Sound System album - Donnie is heading for an Aria!
A single is due out on Bang Gang 12″ in February and an album on Sneaky’s label “Whack” will be landing mid 2008.
Donnie Sloan is currently touring with Sneaky Sound System as well as DJing in the clubs all over the place, starting at Eurotrash in Melbourne this Saturday night after the Sneaky Sound System show at Festival Hall. He will be throwing down “a real mix of stuff, from nowies french techno to 70s yacht rock”.
