The Brothers Lee deserve an award for this immaculate production. Sounds even great as mp3s but i wished i had WAVs or even better the vinyl of this record.” Qoute from IDJ on the new Album "Following their immensely popular re-release of 90’s dance floor classic ‘In the Trees’ last year, which was remixed by the legendary Carl Craig, the Faze Action boys are back with their first album 'Stratus Energy'. It’s a much-anticipated 11-track journey taking us on a cruise around the disco cosmos. Faze Action have been pivotal in directing the modern disco sound since day dot, and here they use their ‘Stratus Energy’ to really show us how it’s done. Chimes, grooves, Balearic, psych… A fine fusion of sounds across the spectrum of disco can be found here- think classic disco grooves meet new and inspiring twists. ‘Disco Warrior’ sounds playful and upbeat while ‘Weightless’ bring in smooth musical energies, which cascade gently through outer space. Harmonies flow gracefully throughout, and these fresh cosmic sounds dusted with sunny Balearic charm are further complimented by a 6-piece live band. The sexy smooth vocals from 3 different sources cement this release as a disco lover’s bliss - hold tight as you zoom around the cosmos, catapulting towards disco heaven…" Click here to check it out http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/353162-01.htm It’s impossible to underestimate Faze Action’s role in bringing about the richness and breadth to electronic music that we now take for granted. In 2009, disco is a recognized part of contemporary dance music’s fabric, but it wasn’t always so. Back in the mid-nineties, brothers Robin and Simon Lee released a string of essential 12”s on Nuphonic under the name Faze Action. These intricate but immediate tracks opened up whole new pathways and possibilities for club music; merging an organic, low-slung disco sensibility with heady grooves and instrumentation borrowed from funk, Latin and African traditions, all delivered with the punch and precision of cutting edge house and techno. Last year, ‘In The Trees’ was re-issued upon its 10th anniversary with stunning remixes by Carl Craig and Jerome Sydenham, affirming its classic status but also marking the beginning of a new chapter in the story of Faze Action. Since then, the Lee's have been busier than ever, consolidating their disco roots with 6 fresh 12”s on their own FAR label and remixing the likes of Johnny Hammond, Metronomy and Da lata.With their new album Stratus Energy out on The 18th of May Faze Action will be taking their Disco sound Live and Djing . It’s not just the many old converts who are taking notice; a contemporary audience with a real hunger and enthusiasm for Faze Action’s incendiary brand of Disco and Balearica is on board and open-eared.
