Well what a breath of fresh air this is. Nothing ground breaking you understand, just a great groove from beginning to end. Uj Pa Gaz, aka Lindi Hoxha has crafted an album of upbeat, optimistic bliss which deserves to be setting speakers throbbing in the disco of your choice post COVID 19. Indeed, it’s tunes like this which have the capability to guide us all back on the straight and narrow. From the disco heaven of ‘Chaga’, the gauntlet is thrown down. ‘End Of M’, with its subtle build and the Moroderesque title track and its omnipresent vocoder. . . ‘HTAW’ (Homage To Andrew Weatherall), is a lovely bittersweet, guitar led triumph, and ‘Mallorca (Isaac Albeniz)’ ends the album on an ambient Balearic note. In between ‘Pundelic’, ‘On My Mind (feat. Heidenreich)’ and ‘Tirana’ twist the disco melons  to various degrees of intensity. Following hot on the heels of The Longchamps ‘Straight To Audio’, this sees Tici Taci consolidating their place as one of leftfield disco’s most important outposts.
