For fans of groovy, sun-soaked disco beats, Too Slow To Disco (TSTD) has just dropped a shimmering new release, and it’s as smooth as it gets. Marcus Liesenfeld aka DJ Supermarkt has partnered with Mexican producer and DJ extraordinaire, Monsieur Van Pratt, for a limited-edition marble vinyl 7-inch that’s destined to become a collector’s item. With only 500 copies in existence, this release combines TSTD’s signature nostalgia with Monsieur Van Pratt’s modern touch, creating a dancefloor experience brimming with smooth and soulful charm.
Pressed on limited-edition marble vinyl—just 500 copies in existence—this latest TSTD release is a testament to the enduring allure of slow disco grooves. Side A features a reimagining of Bobby Caldwell’s timeless love anthem, “What You Won’t Do for Love”. But this is no ordinary cover: it’s a deep cut of a rare late-’70s Mexican version of the track, dusted off and reworked into a smooth disco dream. On Side B, Van Pratt delivers “Black Soul”, a gospel-inspired groove that oozes warmth and conjures the ambiance of a beachfront sunset party.
Monsieur Van Pratt, a Mexico City native and founder of Super Spicy Records, has been making waves in the global electronic scene with his signature blend of disco, funk, and jazz. With over 100 digital releases and 26 vinyl records under his belt, Van Pratt’s influence stretches from prestigious labels like Toy Tonics and Buddha Bar to collaborations with big hitters like Jamiroquai’s Derrick McKenzie and nu-disco veterans Drop Out Orchestra.
His ability to marry nostalgia with innovation has earned him a devoted following, as well as praise from critics and tastemakers. Whether remixing Art of Tones or crafting his own kaleidoscopic originals, Van Pratt’s knack for emotional resonance and technical prowess ensures his music transcends the turntable.
This release reaffirms Too Slow To Disco’s reputation as a curator of rare grooves and feel-good vibes. While fans may have to wait a little longer for the next full-blown compilation, the collaboration with Van Pratt exemplifies DJ Supermarkt’s commitment to delivering the perfect soundtrack for a laid-back yet deeply satisfying disco experience.
Whether you’re spinning it at your next set or keeping it as a prized collectible, this Too Slow To Disco release with Monsieur Van Pratt is a love letter to the genre’s enduring soul. So dust off your record player, pour yourself something cold, and let these slow grooves take you somewhere between a ride on the Pacific Coast Highway and a technicolor dancefloor by the sea.
This is disco, reimagined—smoother, spicier, and as timeless as ever.
