El Coco is W. Michael Lewis and Lauren Rinder - duo who began working with disco music in 1975 with their first album titled “Brazil”. A dance ode to the lounge sound of the 50’s with a rhythmic beat enticing the sweet melodies and heavy percussion. “Bahia” is a track from their first album and is a masterpiece of wonderful “mall music” in its own formation. The tropical theme explodes here with the flowing of keyboards and the drifting percussion. It is a masterful take on the early disco sound where an orchestra is being led on the dance floor once again in a new way. One of my personal favorites from El Coco and one of the geniuses of theirs from the start.
I have taken the album version of “Bahia” and realigned the lounge edge with some new heavy duty elements to make it pop for this ReStructure Mix. It has a lengthier intro and nice fade where you can almost hear someone asking for the tanning lotion.
