Circadia (6:13)
Time Of Nectar (feat Jonny Nash) (6:59)
Soft Light (7:06)
Review: The development of Aussie Tornado Wallace from a promising deep house producer to a masterful maker of Balearic beats has been a joy to behold. Since first hooking up with Beats In Space and the similarly inclined ESP Institute last year, he's begun to develop a trademark sound that's warm, humid and musically rich. He's still capable of laying down chunky dancefloor rhythms, though, as the hypnotic new age house bumper "Soft Light" - the flipside of this second outing for Lovefingers' acclaimed imprint - so deftly proves. Really, though, it's when he gets more adventurous - such as on the wonderfully evocative Jonny Nash collaboration "Time of Nectar" and decidedly tropical lead cut "Circadia" - that he really comes into his own. Highly recommended.

Onda
Central Do Brasil
Review: "Onda", the second single from Brazilian composer-turned-artist Genival Cassiano dos Santos, has long been an in-demand item for Balearic DJs. Copies of the original 1977 12" regularly fetch three figures online, so this belated reissue is long overdue. "Onda" itself is something of a lazy sunshine classic; a perfect example of laidback Brazilian jazz-funk that blends a samba sensibility with distinct soul, funk and disco influences. Flipside "Central Do Brasil" is, if anything, even more potent, with Cassiano layering vocals over a hustling disco-funk backing track. Certainly, it is the more obviously dancefloor centric of the two tracks, even if it lacks the simple beauty of the A-side.

I've Loved It
Flute
Put Some Love In Your Life
Little Drummer
Review: While he may have spent the last few years pursuing a deep house agenda for labels such as Bosconi and Fly By Night, Bologna-based producer Riccio earned his stripes providing high class reworks for the now legendary Super Value Edits label. Here he returns to his roots with a four-track onslaught of tasty scalpel works for Editorial. There's naturally much to admire, from the string-laden disco-funk pulse of "Put Some Love In Your Life" and dewy-eyed, near Balearic disco wooziness of "Little Drummer", to the storming, peaktime brilliance of "I've Loved It" (our pick of a strong EP) and woodwind-laden loop funk of "Flute".

The Family Tree - "150th Psalm"
Review: Given the infamous depth of Nick The Record's vinyl collection, you'd expect this contribution to Z Records' excellent Under The Influence series to be packed to the rafters with unheralded gems. Predictably, it is, delivering 22 cuts that should be thrillingly new to all but the most dusty-fingered collectors. Picking out highlights from such an excellent and in-depth collection is tough, but try the steel drums-laden celebration of Boogsie's "Can't You See Me", the synth-laden jazz-funk badness of "Keep Your Shoes" by MC and His Great Googa-Moogas, and the fizzing, melody-rich 808 electro of Ronnie Jones "Video Games". If that's not enough there's also a swathe of DJ-friendly re-edits from Nick himself.

Inkswel - "Delaide Reaction" (feat Gary Davis & Andras Fox)
XL Middleton - "Sunset On Sunset"
Review: The man like Inkswel seems to be in the midst of a production purple patch right now and we are not ones to complain, especially when he's firing off little nuggets of lopsided funk like the one that lines the A Side of this Omega Supreme 7". The puntastic "Delaide Reaction" sees Inkswel teaming up with his highly rated fellow Australian Andras Fox and features the vocal talents of the NJ Disco legend Gary Davis (those not familiar with the name need to attend Disco Night School!) This sun soaked slab of sunken boogie is complemented well by the flipside cut "Sunset on Sunset" by XL Middleton which lays on the p funk vibes heavily and snaps to a satisfying beat. As with all Omega Supreme drops, this one is pretty damn special.

You Can Win (3:29)
Let's Go (4:26)
Review: DJ Fryer's Athens of the North imprint has provided soul and disco DJs with some killer 7" reissues since launching earlier this year. Here, he uncovers another obscure but oh-so-good gem. There's little information available about Bileo, aside from the fact that they released just two singles between 1979 and '83. "You Can Win" was there debut. It's a deliciously loose and celebratory chunk of disco-soul featuring spellbinding horns and a cheery, wholeheartedly positive vocal. It's the sort of disco-soul gem that makes us want to hug complete strangers before running into the sea fully clothed. The more low-slung disco-funk flipside, "Let's Go", is almost as good. Recommended.

Watchin' Out (3:17)
Dazed (3:44)
Review: More dusty-fingered funk and reissue fun from DJ Fryer's prolific Athens of the North imprint. As usual, these tracks are pretty darn obscure; they both dropped on the Split Decision Band's 1978 debut on the obscure Network Records imprint. "Watchin' Out" is a tight-but-loose chunk of hazy disco-era funk with a sturdy backbeat and particularly rousing horns. It will slip into both funk and disco sets with ease. Flipside "Dazed" is altogether slower, with sparser production emphasizing the quality of the parping, razor-sharp horns. It's a superb alternative to the equally admirable A-side. Another winner from Athens of the North.

Eddie C - "Cut Chop Roll Skate"
Scott M - "Get Up"
VinylAddicted & SMQ - "Another Love"
Pontchartrain - "Get Over You"
Review: A fantastic foursome from boozy beat peddlers Whiskey Disco, the "Another Love" EP features label mates old and new. Eddie C ignites proceedings with a chubby electro boogie fused jam that pops and rolls with big disco bubbles and obese synth bass. Slide down deeper to meet label newbie Scott M who's done some serious dancefloor damage with a well-known Vernon Burch track. Further on we hit the EP title track, a Chi-town-style jacker with filtered flurries and a timeless disco house message. Finally we end on a well-spaced, loopy deep disco twist on France Joli's "Gonna Get Over You" courtesy of Pontchartrain.

Stupid Human - "Zaire"
Space:Tricks - "India"
Stupid Human - "Trinidad"
Space:Tricks - "Turkey"
Review: Stupid Human, previously known for dashing between electrofunk and disco re-edits, is clearly coming of age. Here, he joins forces with pal Space Tricks to launch a brand new series - of largely original material - inspired by global sounds. His "Zaire", a synth-laden exploration of late '70s African electronic music with a contemporary dancefloor pulse - is probably the highlight, though Space Tricks' humid, rolling "India" - all bongo-laden disco grooves, sitars and Eastern intent - pushes it close. The intense percussive bounce of Stupid Human's "Trinidad" is also excellent, while Space Tricks' slower, chugging "Turkey" offers a well-needed breather via delay-laden Middle Eastern instrumentation and reverb-heavy grooves. Excellent stuff.

Spiral
Get Here
Review: Deep house producer Frank Booker is no stranger to the re-edit game, having previously released a couple of killer 12" singles of scalpel works on Razor 'N' Tape and KAT. Here he pitches up on Dicky Trisco's long-running Disco Deviance imprint with a couple more peaktime treats. Opener "Spiral" reworks an electric-piano and vibraphone heavy instrumental disco killer, stretching it out and emphasizing the touchy-feely elements of the original. Flipside "Get Here" is a little chunkier, utilising dubwise effects to tweak and stretch out a slamming jam defined by its' excellent walking bassline. Great edits are getting harder to come by; thankfully, these are both superb.

Let’s Make Love Tonight (Sleazy McQueen edit)
Love Massage (78Edits rework)
Let's Play around (Jean Claude Gavri & VinylAddicted edit)
Le Viole (Lillo Carillo balearic disco)
Review: This latest installment in the popular Editors Kutz re-edit series is packing some real heat, which is arguably unsurprising given the talent involved. Whiskey Disco don Sleazy McQueen steals the show with opener "Let's Make Love Tonight", a perfectly pitched chunk of sensual, horn-toting disco that should ignite dancefloors the world over this summer. 78 Edits take on "Love Massage" - a sexy head-nodder in his loopy, toe-tapping style - is almost as good, while Vinyl Addicted & Jean-Paul Gavri's sweet, delay-laden, dub disco tweak of "Can't Play Around" (here re-titled "Let's Play Around") is similarly impressive. As if that wasn't enough to impress, there's also some top drawer shuffling Balearic disco from Lillo Carillo's (the sultry "Le Viole").

Turning Tides
Mahogany
Serenity
Review: Young Corner is something of a welcome return from Swiss producer Alex "Lexx" Storer, a producer whose grasp of atmosphere and emotion is matched by a keen ear for what works on the dancefloor. A-side "Turning Tides" is particularly good, delivering a typically Balearic fusion of shuffling, deep house rhythms, and tactile synth bass, sun-kissed textures and gloriously rich, disco-influenced guitars. It feels like the sort of track that would lead to "moments" when dropped at the right time. "Mahogany" is slower, with bolder electronics and crispier guitars joining a thick, dub-influenced bassline. Finally, "Serenity" pushes the Balearic dial to max via dreamy chords, clipped guitars and cascading electronics.

Taza De Oro
Krav Maga Girls
Review: Recent New York transplant Mans Swanberg is clearly a man that enjoys an alias; best known for his Italo tinged edits on the Rollerboys label under the name Bogdan Irkuk and Bulgari, the selector adopts a new guise on this superb debut for Phil South's Golf Channel label. Waldemar Schwartz may well be a new name, but many of the elements that made Swanberg's work as Bulgari so memorable are very much in evidence on Taza De Oro. Chief among them is Swanberg's mastery of the live bass line which really transcends both the title track and B Side "Krav Maga Girls" towards disco heaven. After a fallow period of the last few months (An excellent LP from The Central Executives aside) Golf Channel seem to be gearing up for a ton of great releases, and this one from Waldemar Schwartz is a fine entree.

Take Me To The Bridge
Let The Music Take Your Mind
CEREMONY (Velvet Season & The Hearts Of Gold remix)
Review: Former Chicken Lips man seems to be keeping Golf Channel Recordings boss Phil South in business. Having already delivered a constant stream of Rhythm Odyssey & Dr Dunks 12" singles (alongside pal Eric Duncan), Meredith now brings his Mind Fair project (a collaboration with studio partner Ben Shenton) back to the label. "Take Me To The Bridge" is typical of the duo's output, offering a loose, hazy, Balearic-influenced take on disco with distinct pop overtones and bags of live instrumentation. There's a more distinct dubbed-out feel about the huggable Balearica of "Let The Music Take Your Mind", while the Velvet Season & The Hearts of Gold remix of "Ceremony" is icy and out-there, doffing a cap to coldwave and sparse, melancholic deep house.

Review: Here's something rather special: the long-await debut album from Bison, Paul 'Mudd' Murphy and pal Ben Smith's collaboration with vocalist Ursula Major and krautrock legend (and all round fruitcake) Holgar Czukay. Recorded at Czukay's legendary Cologne studio and featuring mix-downs from Conrad Idjut, Travellers is a particularly dubwise trawl through hazy, krautrock-influenced disco and horizontal Balearica. By anyone's standards, it's a deliciously intergalactic concoction; a fearlessly atmospheric blend of low-slung grooves, delay-laden horns, quirky percussion, stargazing electronics and mesmerizing, eyes-wide-shut vocals. Given the talent on show, we shouldn't have expected anything less.

Santiago Black (Ptaki version) (6:50)
Santiago Black (1:35)
Kirton Street (Ruffy 3am Canavan Special) (4:52)
Kirton Street (0:52)
Review: Somewhat confusingly, the two Al Dobson tracks featured on this must-have 12" are not taken from his superb Rye Lane LP, but rather a CD of possible album tracks the producer gave to Rhythm Section International last year. Both cuts are typical of his dusty, rhythm-centric sound, and are particularly sparse. This, though, just makes the remixes even more remarkable. Polish producers PTaki turn "Santiago Black" into a midtempo chunk of analogue-sounding midtempo house, complete with drifting vocal samples and a wonderfully dubby bassline. Arguably even better is Ruf Dug's eccentric version of "Kirton Street", which wobbles, pulses and darts with chiming melodies, rough sub bass and hissing, cymbal-laden percussion, while retaining the blazed feel of Dobson Jr's original.

Review: Those with a passion for '80s electrofunk, boogie, synth jams, machine soul and proto-house should already be aware of Inskwel and Benny Badge's Hot Shot label. The imprint specializes in delivering fresh music inspired by those sounds. Here, the Australian duo gathers together a superb selection of contemporary revivalist sounds from like-minded souls. Highlights are naturally plentiful, from the rubbery bass and vintage synths of First Touch's "Sure Feels Good To Me" and Jupiter Gang's bodypoppin' electro workout "America", to the deep proto-house of Paradise Box's "Slave 2 Knowledge" and Inkswel's acid-tinged midtempo deep house rework of High Accord's "You Are (My Number One Priority)". Stellar stuff, all told.

The Shoe
I Don't Know What This Is
Review: Within the space of two perfectly executed 12" singles, Mark E's sneaky E Versions series - in which he returns to the world of loopy, house-friendly disco and Balearic re-edits with which he first made his name - has become a "must check". This third installment is every bit as essential as its' predecessors, offering to two deliciously glassy-eyed re-interpretations of unknown gems. Opener "The Shoe" delivers an undulating, loose-but-hypnotic chunk of head-nodding, hip-shaking disco, with rising and falling strings and horn stabs riding a tasty, bass-heavy groove. "I Don't Know What This Is" flips the script, offering up a dreamy, sensual and enorphin-heavy slice of floor-friendly Balearic bliss. Recommended.

Prime Climate (Lay-Far re-edit)
Review: Having recently flexed his deep house muscles with a couple of fine EPs on Local Talk and City Fly, Alexander Lay-Far returns to the world of the disco re-edit with an excellent three-tracker on Basic Fingers. Pleasingly, his edits are sympathetic to the source material, and there's no hint of additional house kicks or needless effects. Arguably the highlight is "Saaba Dub", an excellent instrumental revision of an Afro-reggae classic from 1970s fusionists Light of Saba. He also dips his toe into dancefloor-friendly prog rock with the sprawling "Prime Climate", while "Quality Hours" works a spirtual jazz-funk groove - complete with Rhodes and flute solos aplenty - within an inch of its' life.

Review: Friendly Monster is a new label that's so far only released the one record, a three-track various artist 12". They've done the same for their second offering, only giving Bendy & Hristo and Free Association a side of real estate each. Combine elements of New York disco with new wave, no wave, minimal wave, whatever wave, and Bendy & Hristo's own edit to their track "Love Contest" has all the makings of a swooning floor filler. Meanwhile the B-side has more of an Arthur Russell element to it, with flashes of Queen, indie rock, rock and cosmic disco mixed in. Two tough and sensual cuts on the one record.

Je Na' (Mario Boncaldo original 1983 special mix)
Pagaia (Mario Boncaldo original 1983 special mix)
Review: Archeo Recordings is a reissue record label that regenerates old, lost, obscure (and forgotten) rare gems of Italian music of the 70s and 80s, and not only. All outputs are licensed by the artists and the vintage labels; audio tracks are remastered in their original form; the sleeves and center labels are graphically recreated for today but all based on the original images. Archeo would like to make the music available to a wider audience of collectors, DJs, music lovers of a forgotten time.
All releases are hand-numbered limited edition vinyl. The first 100 copies of each release are pressed in coloured vinyls. This first release is dedicated to the sought- mix "Je -na / Pagaia" by Tony Esposito 1983 - cult record and more and more "expensive" - which is a rarity of Afro-cosmic Italian music. A very popular piece at the time and fortunately returned in vogue today thanks to many followers, DJs and lovers to the great "Balearic" family. The music of Tony Esposito is inspired by sounds from many countries around the world, mixing tribal rhythms with Neapolitan melodies, well represented by the track "Je -na", where the wide range of styles is manifested in its hypnotic sounds and rhythm in his percussion. The two tracks were born in 1983 after a trip to Jamaica and were composed together with Pino Daniele. The style and sound of these two pieces reflects the influence of Bob Marley and his group, with whom Tony Esposito has worked both in Italy and in Kingston Town, Jamaica .

Like many of the greatest Italo-disco records, Tony Esposito's 1983 double A-side "Je-Na'"/"Pagaia" is ridiculously rare. Put it this way: if you fancy nabbing yourself an original copy, it will make a serious dent in your wallet. This welcome reissue presents both tracks in their original 12" glory, mixed with clubs in mind by Mariano Boncaldo of Klein & M.B.O fame. It's the A-side that's arguably the pick of the pair, featuring as it does a Balearic-friendly blend of dense, bongo-laden rhythms, tribal chants and delay-heavy guitars. There's a bit more of a hazy disco bounce to "Pagaia", which sounds a little like a long lost Tullio de Piscopo record - all jazz-fusion scat singing, sunny horns and shuffling rhythms.
