From Rosario, Argentina descend The Candy Dealers, a dastardly duo made up of two accomplished producers in their own right: Jay West and Christian Malloni. Their individual production schedules have seen tunes grace the rosters of Salted, Amenti, So Sound, Proton, and Candy Music. When time allows, the two come together in a Rosario studio space and become the mighty Candy Dealers. Eighth Dimension was lucky enough to catch the pair in this guise, snagging a soul-filled house music stomper by the name of “Danger Zone.” It’s decidedly a nod to an old school sound (and, yes, a certain old school song) updated for contemporary discotheques. The Candy Dealers’ usual funky beat-play anchors tremendous builds, spiraling synth leads, and a vocal line that could stop a heartbeat. With an equally effective dub the two producers have bestowed a prime time package to be unleashed on deserving dance floors throughout the globe. As an added bonus, Eighth Dimension enlisted their Italian friends Ajello to whip out a heady remix in their distinctive style. Ajello is making serious waves with top work for Rebirth, Maxi Discs, and their own Danny Was A Drag Queen imprint. Their contribution here continues to impress with a synth-tastic workout that harks back to a bygone musical era while pointing the way to the horizon. These three tracks make for an enticing song set that should send DJs perilously heading into the “Danger Zone!”
