| Fever envelops the night as we ascend the stairs, following the confetti to the pulsing front door. The scene of the party inside shouts coordinated chaos, with the joy of the stampede too strong to subdue. A dizzying combination of brass and animalia fill the air, staining the walls and pressing up against the ceilings, the chandelier swinging to the rhythm of the lion’s drum. Every bird in the building flocks to the dance floor, feathers rising and falling with the beat. Finally, the frenzy erupts into chanting delirium, ‘Chi-Co-La’. For those who need a refresher – Cavallo Nero are a Melbourne-based trio dressed for the occasion. Formed in the summer of 2019 by three members of live-show sweat-stalwarts Total Giovanni, this new project delves deeper into clubland and the after-hours – all that the strobe light touches and the smoke machine envelopes. Cavallo Nero exists in a realm where time dilates and contracts to the slip of the tongue. Unconscious vocalising is the guide, rhythmic intuition is the compass. It is techno slowed to a hypnotic beat, distorted funk in the after party’s after party dreamland. The path paved is unmarked, unwound and tangential. Follow your hips and heart, get immersed in the hypnotic pulse that rises and falls within the same breath. Listen to the voice, it will guide you toward your favourite party, and away from all your inhibitions. Keep your eyes peeled and your ears ready for forthcoming remixes of ‘Chi-Co-La’ by musical legend Spod and Total Giovanni’s Frank Topaz.
