The French minimal electro act La Machine covers 80s hit ‘Vamos a la Playa’ on new EP – Out now
A few months after their debut EP “La Machine Qui Ne Sert à Rien”, La Machine (a collaboration of members of the French electro acts Position Parallèle and Celluloide/Thee Hyphen) is back with a new 6 track EP, “Vamos a la Playa”, which you can order here.
To be released on June 23rd, the first track on the EP is a minimalist and mechanical cover of a song by the Italian Italo disco duo Righeira, released in 1983 as the second single from their debut studio album, Righeira (1983).
Also included on this 6-track EP is a cover of Jacno’s 1979 track “Rectangle”.
