Trip Tease and Alain Vice, also known as Carlos Saleme, lock into retro futuristic disco territory on ‘Milano 2098’, a standout cut from their recent release on Astrolead Recordings.

The track captures the essence of Astrolead’s long-running vision. Founded and curated by Ilya Santana, the Canary Islands-based label has spent the past decade exploring disco in its most forward-thinking forms. ‘Milano 2098’ fits neatly within that lineage, drawing on classic references while pushing the sound into imagined future spaces.

Built around shimmering synth lines and a driving, confident bass groove, ‘Milano 2098’ leans heavily into Italo disco and cosmic electronics. The rhythm moves with purpose, balancing momentum and restraint, while melodic elements glide overhead with a cinematic sense of scale. There is a clear narrative feel to the track, evoking neon-lit cityscapes and late-night movement without ever tipping into nostalgia for its own sake.

What sets the track apart is its sense of time displacement. The production blends analogue warmth with sharp, modern detail, creating a sound that feels rooted in the past but pointed firmly forward. It is disco reframed through a futuristic lens, where texture and atmosphere matter as much as groove.

‘Milano 2098’ works across multiple settings. It carries enough energy to drive a dancefloor, yet its layered arrangement and cosmic tone also reward deeper listening. The track feels designed for long blends and late-night moments, where mood and motion need to coexist.

Within the wider Astrolead catalogue, ‘Milano 2098’ stands as a clear example of the label’s strength. It reflects a commitment to disco as an evolving language, shaped by artists willing to experiment without losing sight of rhythm and feeling.

For Trip Tease and Alain Vice, the track reinforces their shared creative direction. Confident, playful and future-facing, ‘Milano 2098’ delivers a timeless slice of cosmic disco built for dancers who value both imagination and groove.
