Neon Dreams is the debut album from London-based producer and Night Slugs co-founder James Connolly, aka L-Vis 1990. Across 15-tracks and 55-minutes, James distils a lifetime's worth of musical influences and experiences while conveying the story of the last 12 months in his life through vocalists Samantha Lim and Javeon McCarthy !
Neon Dreams were composed exclusively using hardware gear, taking in an array of classic synthesizers along with the Roland TR-707 drum machine which features on each of the 15 tracks.
Neon Dreams uses house music as a platform from which to explore a multitude and styles and textures. These veer from the Franco-flourishes and full Javeon McCarthy vocal of first single "Lost in Love", to vivid narrative numbers like "Play It Cool", the darker recesses of "The Beach", through to late-summer slow-jam "One More Day". Although during the process of recording Neon Dreams James extended himself far beyond his initial idea to produce a 'futuristic Chicago house record', what does remain is a level of honesty and openness that was so symptomatic of house music's formative years in the city.
