Review by Jerry Jaz

Album Review: Living In The City by Disco Rock Machine Feat René Arnell Released under Pinnacle Records, Living In The City is an intriguing blend of electronic beats and disco flair that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly modern. Hailing from the UK, this project brings together a unique collaboration with credits boasting Trevor Rabin—a name synonymous with meticulous production and arrangement. And let’s not forget Max, who plated track A (yes, vinyl lovers, we see you). The album features two full-length tracks, but don’t let the brevity fool you; these songs pack a punch. The standout track for me has to be “Loving Styles.” It opens with a hypnotic synth riff that grabs your attention right away—like someone tapping you on the shoulder at a crowded party. What makes it memorable isn’t just its glossy sheen or René Arnell’s smooth vocal delivery, but how effortlessly it transitions into a groove so infectious you might find yourself dancing in your kitchen. You know those tunes where you lose track of time? This is one of them. Trevor Rabin’s influence shines here, crafting layers that feel rich without being overwhelming—a delicate balance many artists struggle to achieve. Then there’s the title track, “Living In The City,” which takes things up a notch. The bassline hits hard, almost as if mimicking the heartbeat of urban life itself. There’s something raw yet polished about this song—it doesn’t shy away from its disco roots while embracing futuristic electronic elements. If cities could sing, I imagine they’d sound like this. By the second chorus, you’re hooked, humming along even though you’ve only heard it once. That’s the magic of good music—it sticks. One thing worth noting is how cohesive the album feels despite having only two tracks. Both songs complement each other perfectly, creating an experience rather than just a collection of sounds. It’s short, sure, but sometimes less really is more. Reflecting on Living In The City, what strikes me most is how it manages to capture the essence of disco without falling into clichés. Sure, it’s got all the hallmarks—catchy hooks, funky rhythms—but there’s also this unexpected depth that keeps pulling you back. And honestly? Listening to it felt like rediscovering an old favorite record store hidden away in some forgotten corner of London. So yeah, give this one a spin. Just maybe clear some space first—you’ll wanna move.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s a cool fact: The album *Living In The City* by Disco Rock Machine Feat René Arnell is a hidden gem in the electronic disco scene. It’s got some serious talent behind it—Trevor Rabin, who you might know from his work with Yes, both arranged and produced the tracks. Fun detail: one of the tracks, *Loving Styles*, was plated by someone simply credited as "Max." That’s a little mystery right there! The UK-based Pinnacle Records released it, keeping the funky vibes alive in the disco era.
