The Diasonics – Oriole / Chickadee (7″) [Record Kicks RK45111]

***PRE-ORDER – Est. 20 June 2025***

From the heart of Moscow’s underground funk scene, cinematic groove-makers The Diasonics return with a brand-new 45: Oriole / Chickadee, a powerful double-sider pressed on limited edition clear vinyl — just 500 copies worldwide.

Following the critical success of their debut album Origin of Forms (praised by Uncut, Shindig!, Mojo, PopMatters, and more), the band sets the stage for their next full-length project Ornithology, coming later in 2025.

On the A-side, “Oriole” delivers a hypnotic blend of Soviet-era disco, European library music, and 70s jazz-funk, featuring a minimalist synth hook and a relentless groove that echoes the motion of a speeding Russian train. Flip it over for “Chickadee” — a break-heavy, bass-driven funk anthem pulsing with early 80s New York energy and tailor-made for DJs, B-boys, and crate-diggers alike.

Fans of Karate Boogaloo, Surprise Chef, El Michels Affair, Calibro 35, and Khruangbin will find plenty to love here. With support from BBC 6 Music, KEXP, and Radio France, The Diasonics are solidifying their place as international torchbearers of cinematic funk.

A must-have for collectors and selectors — secure your copy before it disappears.
