Lisbon-based Mirror People is an alias of Rui Maia. He has a love of original 70s disco and infuses it with a contemporary twist. He’s done so on the likes of Permanent Vacation, Discotexas, and Toy Tonics and is now known internationally as a result. His DJ gigs have taken him to key venues around Portugal, as well as in London, Paris, Vienna, Cannes, Istanbul, and beyond.
‘Zagg’ opens up with old-school disco musicianship front and centre as lively chord stabs bring the funk. Vocal stabs, horns, and glossy keys burst out of the mix next to the party-starting whistles and cosmic arps. ‘We Found Love’ is a more deep and sensuous sound with late-night synths shimmering behind playful tambourines, wooden hits and wispy sci-fi pads. Last but not least is ‘Costa Nova’, another sublime and sophisticated disco sound for dreamers and lovers with evocative bird calls adding a sense of escapism. The drums are low-slung, and the bass is elastic, while pensive synth details and rippling chords bring the class.
Mirror People’s Dancing Days EP lands on Belong Records on 24th May 2024.
