London-based songwriter and producer "Kinky Roland" and Berlin-based label bring together the megastars of the 80s on the album "Metropol Nights" and celebrate 80s disco parties

“Metropol Nights”
will be released on August 5, 2022
Limited edition
( Link for order will be posted in a few days here )

It's a real concept album about 80s disco parties without being nostalgic. The tracks are all new or reworked and recorded in the analog style of the 80s. One thing unites the album creator and the artists: the passion for the sound of the electronic clubs of the 80s.

The "Metropol" nightclub was synonymous with excessive disco and party nights, especially in the 1980s.
George Zampounidis chatted with Andy Bell and Boy George on the phone, was a regular at Metropol in the 80s, and also DJed there for a while some time: "Andy and George are super easy going and want nothing more than to celebrate their passion for the 80s disco sound. And I get the title of the album.

Metropol nights are legendary. The Lazer show at the Metropol was amazing. It was the only big club in walled West Berlin that celebrated so excessively HiNRG & Disco House before it became popular in the other so called scene clubs in the city. A true temple of music dance. It was something like the German STUDIO54". DJ Westbam also started his international career at Metropol exactly at this time. The album mainly references the early and mid 80s, when wave, disco and electropop united on the dance floor.

THE ALBUM AND ITS SONGS:

Songwriter/producer Kinky Roland on his album idea and one of Boy George's tracks: “The Metropol was my favorite nightclub. I also asked Boy George to write suitable lyrics for one of my compositions.
Following the memories when we left the club at 5am and trudged through the freshly fallen snow in front of the Metropol and enjoyed the fresh air.
That's how Boy George's song "Morning Snow" was born." The story behind the duet song "That Night" by Boy George and Andy Bell of Erasure has - despite its party suitability - a back - really serious plan.

The songs on his album "Metropol Nights" are almost all by the songwriter "Kinky Roland" himself.
Only Marian Golds/T.O.Y. "Turn On" and John Carpenter's legendary "The Fog" soundtrack come from the musicians themselves.
"The River" was co-written by Kinky Roland and current Italo Disco stars Rago & Farina.

Gatefold artwork by Emil Schult. Produced by RSF – Roland Sebastian Faber in London recently.

The Berlin based discotheque “Metropol” stood for excessive disco and party nights in the eighties.

George Zampounidis (Moderator, DJ at Metropol in the 1980’s): “Metropol nights are legendary. The Lazer show at the Metropol was insane. It was the only large club in walled-in West Berlin that celebrated HiNRG & Disco-House so excessively before it became popular in the other, so-called scene clubs of the city. A true temple of dance. It was something like the STUDIO54 of Germany”.

Limited edition of 250 colored vinyls + Gatefoldcover + HQ download code.

Before I go on to the rest of the news, a lot of people have been asking about the release of the Boy George and Andy Bell collaboration track which I mentioned in a newsletter last year. I know that there are lots of rumours flying about but I'm not going to be confirming anything until I have official information from Boy George's team of fine folk, until then I'm afraid you will just have to be patient!

EIS Newsletter 29th July 2022,maybe a UK release coming?,but here is the first listen…
