Behind the Nu Disco / Disco : Release Notes

Chicago’s Star Creature Records is proud to announce MIA’s debut album available everywhere on Vinyl, Digital and Streaming. Miami’s Queen of the Bedroom Boogie sound drops the long awaited 9 track album produced by Toronto’s Gil Masuda to much acclaim. The album features her patented sound of lofi intimate synth funk just primed for dancefloor but just as suitable for a night in – horizontal or vertical. In The Moonlight collects 9 tracks of outer spaced inner-thought boogie-based tunes falling somewhere between synth-pop and synth-funk. It’s a party album ready for the dancefloor or bedroom floor. MIA’s earnest yearning for love, respect, tenderness and the uncertainty that often flutters. It’s a new take on a classic sound that clearly is resonating as her sold out shows are packed with like-minded ladies who have listened enough to sing along. It’s becoming rarer for an artist to be able to put together an interesting selection of songs to pack an album without filler or redundant tracks by MIA and Masuda have done it here in classically fresh fashion – a timeless future grail for certain. The 2020’s has seen MIA become a cult favorite amongst funk and soul fans worldwide. A firm believer in less is more, she has released only a handful of 7’s until now – however all have become modern classics, selling out and fetching top dollar amongst collectors and DJs. Her 2020 sophomore single ‘Love Me Might’ has become a modern boogie anthem leading to a constant flood of cross country flights to gigs across the US. The song came to be when Star Creature’s Tim Zawada linked the then unknown MIA with Toronto’s Gil Masuda having just seen both of them looking for studio partners on Instagram and the rest is history. 2025 laid the foundation and brought the collaboration the contemporary funk world had been awaiting as MIA dropped her first official Star Creature 7′ with two sides of sophisticated and soulful disco. The A-Side featuring Aladean Kheroufi on duet vocals is a playfully serious feel good floor filler and the B-Side kicks a hard-yet-tender souldie groove up to 2 step tempo. The success of this one flashed all the signals the world was ready for the Long Play format and MIA now serves us In The Moonlight – an album ready to bump for all things in the night.
