Wild Cherry - "Play That Funky Music" (Bully Boy refix) (4:09)

Review: Act of Sedition specializes in the most rarely seen of formats, the double seven-inch single. This is the label's third such release in a row and, like its predecessors, features fresh re-edits and re-fixes of classic funk jams. Dutch crew RocknRolla Soundsystem step up first, serving up a rolling, bass-heavy spruce-up of Aretha Franklin's "Chain of Fools" that's a little more 4-4 in feel than the Queen of Soul's original. SanFran Disko brilliantly rearranges the same artist's sweet 1983 boogie jam "Get It Right" - emphasizing the slap-bass, synths and bustling beats - before Frank Agrario gets to work on Marty Moore's punchy, disco era funk workout "Radiation Funk" with excellent results. Finally, Bully Boy provides a killer peak-time version of Wild Cherry's "Play That Funky Music".

Review: This 20-track album features three brand new remixes of highly revered production duo Chic, by Grammy-award nominated producer Dimitri From Paris. For this project, Dimitri was entrusted with the original studio masters so alongside the much loved essentials remastered here are remixes and previously unreleased instrumentals. Through disco grooves and meticulously reverent production, this album is a demonstration of how captivating orchestral music can be as compared to today's computer generated offerings - and all this is the work of one Frenchman's golden touch!

Danny White - "Natural Soul Brother" (The Allergies remix) (3:33)
The Meters - "The Meters Medley" (part 1 - Professor Shorthair remix) (4:24)

Review: Superjock's latest seven-inch salvo serves up two tasty new remixes of funk breaks classics on vibrant green vinyl. Party-rocking Bristol twosome The Allergies take control on Side A, slamming down an on-point revision of Danny White's 1968 soul jam "Natural Soul Brother". Their version places White's familiar vocal (as well as the original version's fine backing vocals) over a stomping beat. It sounds a little like a Northern Soul anthem of old, albeit with a bit more contemporary punch. Either way, it's ace. Over on Side B, producer Professor Shorthair dips into his sample bank before cutting and scratching his way through a dizzying medley of killer tracks by the Meters. It's a bit like DJ Format's legendary James Brown medley ("Stealin' James"), only arguably even better.

Review: The Mr K Edits series continues to be a hotbed of crucial dancefloor wares, taking stone cold classics and giving them a gentle refinement to make the grooves stretch out that little bit longer. The latest in the 7" series focuses on The Police and two of their finest jams - the first is no stranger to revisions, covers and remixes. "Voices In My Head" has been tackled by many, not least 90s hip house upstart KC Flightt, but here the original version goes on a version excursion that brings out the best in the tune. On the flip, "When The World Is Runnin' Down" shimmers with uptempo new wave refinement that should set any open minded dancefloor alight.

Review: When the Bucharest based power duo of Cristi Cons and Vlad Caia (SIT) team up with acclaimed local pianist Mischa Blanos - you get Amorf. The impressive trio was one of 2017's undisputed highlights with their awe-inspiring Blending Light LP on local imprint Understand. This long awaited sophomore effort comes courtesy of their own Amphia imprint, which brings Cons and Caia's idiosyncratic production style to new, intelligent and experimental levels once again - and to rather stunning effect. Featured on the Dimensions EP are "Reflections" which retains the loose and live feel of their acclaimed live performances, with influences of jazz and classical for an epic introspective cut. On the flip, "Manifold Surface" is more straight up, injected with some dancefloor dynamics which makes for a groove filled and hypnotic journey.

Like the latter, Huerta has reinvented his sound with appearances on In Dust We Trust, Oscillat, and now with this terrific new four tracker for Berlin based retroverts Slow Life. From the hypnotic old-school swing of "Metafiction" with S Moreira, the sun-kissed broken beat of "Loose Thread" (calling to mind classic Atjazz) to the woozy and minimal "Pale Fire", this single perfectly fits the label's open end parties aboard the Hoppetosse.

What'cha Gonna Do? (feat Mystic Merlin) (4:10)
You Got Me Baby (6:25)

Review: Super Disco Edits continues to unearth unreleased gold. Their latest 12" boasts two previously unheard gems by Doris Troy, an American soul singer whose career was revitalized when she moved to London and released an eponymous album on the Beatles' Apple Records in 1970. "What'cha Gonna Do" is a radical revision of Troy's popular 1964 single. This version was recorded in 1980, with Troy singing beautifully over a hazy reggae-soul backing track provided by popular jazz-funk combo Mystic Merlin (they of "Just Can't Give You Up" fame). Flipside "You Got Me Baby", meanwhile, was recorded a year earlier in New York, with producers David Nathan and John Simmons conjuring up a string-drenched disco anthem onto which Troy could brilliantly do her thing.

O'Sullivan dons his Bluetrain guise to deliver the UK steppers-indebted "Armchair Analyst," which artfully folds subtle dubwise influences into its minimal techno construction. On the flip side, Roger Gerressen spaces things out good and proper with the slow-stalking groove of "Long Overdue," fusing the best elements of contemporary minimal and classic dub to create a fine extension of the Rhythm & Sound blueprint.

Review: Fun fact: Andres' first ever remix was done for NDATL. Almost a decade later, he finally returns to Kai Alce's imprint with an EP of his own. It's a pleasingly musically rich affair, with the Motor City producer using the A-side to explore his Latin roots and influences. Opener "Ensolardo" is probably best described as "organic Brazilian house", with breezy, jazz-funk style backing vocals and lilting synth lines riding a densely layered rhythm track. Andres goes even more percussion-heavy on the track that follows, "Cafe Con Leche", which sounds like the accompaniment to a particularly celebratory carnival party in Rio. Over on side B, "D Town Connection" is a warm, synth-heavy chunk of attractive Motor City deep house, while "I Can't Hear You" recalls the producer's sample-heavy breakthrough releases.

Review: On their debut album, 2016's the Tony Allen Experiments, Naples twosome Nu Guinea re-invented tracks by the legendary Afro-beat drummer as synth-heavy chunks of deep jazz-funk and nu-Balearica. For this follow-up - their first full length entirely made up of their own compositions - the duo serves up a set of jazz-funk, disco and boogie cuts rich in both their trademark colourful analogue synthesizer sounds and live instrumentation. It's a formula that guarantees a string of memorable highlights, from the sun-kissed peak-time brilliance of "Disco Sole" and rubbery, funk-fuelled "Je Vulesse" (a killer vocal number), to the wobbly downtempo trip of "A Voce E Napule" and Mizell Brothers fizz of closer "Parev Ajare", the album's most synthesizer-heavy cut.

Review: Detroit techno maestro DJ Bone has been on prolific form of late, from his collaboration with Deetron to his own steady stream of sharply realised output on his Subject Detroit label. Now he's back with a new album, Beyond, and it's as advanced and keenly executed as you'd expect. From the echo chamber synth flourishes of "Multiples Of Self" to the low-end grind of "In The Deep," there is plenty for Bone fans to chew on here, with a continued focus on expressive synth work as first mooted with the "A Piece Of Beyond" LP earlier this year. "Rosedale Park" is a clattering, Rhodes-embellished track primed for damage in the dance, while "Bound To Move" equally brings the peak time heat.

Review: For their latest release, Matasuna Records has put away their re-editing scalpel and instead decided to serve up two obscure old gems by Peru-based Argentine artist Enrique Lynch. Both tracks were recorded in the early 1970s and have become sought-after items amongst the Afro-Tropical collecting community. Having been re-mastered from the original master tapes, A-side "African Bump" - a jazzy, sun-soaked affair notable for its fantastic use of wah-wah guitar, Blaxploitation grooves and high-register horn solos - sounds better than ever before. The same could be said for Lynch's brilliant cover of The Nite-Liters' funk classic "K-Jee", which adds a little South American sunshine to the familiar grooves and celebrated horn lines.

This Alternative Funk: Vol 1 collection cherry picks from the various installments of Alternative Funk that Vox Man released in the mid 80s, presenting some vaguely familiar names and a whole lot of unknowns that fuelled a DIY scene brimming with creativity and lo-fi brilliance. On this first installment, get down to weirdo boogie of From Raushenberg, wig out to the psychedelic synth music of Scoop! and throw down to the drum-tastic madness of Fist of Facts. It's all old, and yet it feels so new.

Here he bucks the trend, serving up freshly tweaked revisions of two of his most potent original cuts of old. A-side "Ya Lookin' Tight" has long been a staple of his DJ sets and never fails to get the floor moving, with crowds instinctively responding to the cut's killer blend of heavy horns, James Brown style vocals and even heavier funk grooves. On the flip Bennett cuts down and tidies up his original calling card: the riotous fusion of punchy horns, dueling instrument solos and low-slung funk breaks that is "Soopsoul Theme".

Lauryn Hill's classic "Doo Wop" gets sprinkled into a sprightly peak time tech house workout entitled "Laurenz Hillz," Alexander O'Neal's "Criticize" features in the sultry "Alexo Kneel" and airy closing cut "Mr Green's Envy" weaves a little Al Green magic into the mix.

Sadly Whitren and Cartwright passed away two years ago, and this 7" of previously CD/digital-only material materialises in tribute to these wonderfully talented souls. "That Will Be That" is an effervescent boogie jam with rich synths that interplay beautifully with Whitren's stunning vocal, while "This Time" takes a starkly opposite approach with just the most delicate of keys lingering behind Whitren's powerful, echoing vocal. It's a poignant note of remembrance for two gifted musicians who shone their light into the world.

Review: Three-quarters of the way through 2018, Ricardo Villalobos finally serves up his first solo release of the year. The Chilean has said very little about the two-tracker, merely serving up sound clips with no fanfare or fuss. Fans will enjoy "Wispa", with the producer's signature buried spoken word samples and intoxicating audio textures playing second fiddle to a driving kick-drum pattern and druggy, TB-303 style acid line. "909 Track" is, if anything, even bolder. While it's as hypnotic and trippy, the beats bounce, the acid lines pop and the main riff - a relentless, warehouse-friendly affair - drives the cut forward with restless energy. An impressive departure from his tried-and-tested blueprint.

While Bliss's brilliant original - all heartfelt vocals, jaunty keys and warm bass - is largely kept in tact, the mystery re-editor naturally makes more of the opening breakbeat, which was sampled several times during hip-hop's "golden era". Flip for a similarly tasty rearrangement of Sweet Daddy Floyd's 1978 Blaxploitation style disco-funk shuffler "I Just Can't Help Myself", a cut rich in rolling breaks, densely layered percussion, punchy orchestration and "Shaft"-style guitar licks.

Over on side B, title track "Aftermath" is a warm and rolling fusion of drifting warehouse riffs and chunky tech-house bottom end, while "Kudzu" delivers a tasty mixture of classic deep house chords, toasty bass and bustling drums.

Review: Tony 'Addis', the man behind the Warriors Dance label and No Smoke project (amongst many other things) is undeniably one of British dance music's unsung heroes. That much is proved by this re-mastered reissue of 1990 LP "International Smoke Signal", an album so ahead of the game at the time of its release that it still sounds like the future. Most will know acid house anthem "Koro Koro" (here in altered, slightly more downtempo form), but it's the quality of the lesser-known cuts - the sub-heavy, UK steppas-influenced Afro-house of "East of Eden", the bleep-meets-Dream II Science deep house bliss of "OAU In Music", acid-fired "Anti Galactic Devotion" and "Pacific State" style E-rush of "Oh Yes (Freedom)" - that makes it such an impressive and essential set.

Review: Barefoot Beats is a series of EPs released on Mareh Music, a record label based in Sao Paulo whose people are also the curators of the Mareh music festival in Boipeba - a remote island in Bahia. For their label's ninth edition, Rio de Janeiro's Joutro Mundo (Midnight Riot/Outra) delivers an edit of a lovely neon-lit boogie down number on "Revele", while on the flip the man from New York City Jkriv (Razor-N-Tape) gets a deep, soulful and life-affirming number into the mix with "Povo De Zambi".

Culebro (Black Science Orchestra dub) (8:24)

Review: You can say that JKriv and Aaron Dae are big fans of L.A-based Afro-Latin funk fusionists Jungle Fire, as the latest release on Razor 'N' Tape Reserve features a quartet of fresh mixes of tracks from the band's bulging back catalogue. The headline attraction is undoubtedly a pair of reworks by Ashley Beedle and Rob Mello, the original founding members of Black Science Orchestra project, which recently reassembled following 15 years apart. This doubles up as a grand affair as the duo presents their first remix and release since their reunion. They first serve up a wonderfully percussive, analogue bass-propelled deep Afro-house "remix" of 2014 cut "Culebro", before reaching for the delays and delivering an arguably even better dancefloor "Dub". You'll also find JKriv's re-imagination of 2013 single "Firewalker" as a bumpin' chunk of horn-heavy dub disco, while Bosq gives "Village Hustle" a rolling Latin disco makeover.

Aquarhythmatica (11:50)
City Beat (11:24)

Review: Groovin can always be relied on for the finest deep house reissues and represses, and they've struck Prescription gold here with the hazy sway of Ron Trent and Anthony Nicholson's evergreen "Aquarhythmatica." In its smoky chords and freewheeling guitars, the dusted down track represents everything great and timeless about this absolute pillar of deep house. On the flip, Ron Trent flies solo with "City Beat," which originally appeared in 2009 on the "Dance Classic" album. From the rich layers of detail to the mellow mood and of course the infectious, organic grooves, the quality level and musicality on this rich vein of house music is quite simply astounding.

Review: The Reflex's reworks of million-selling disco, soul and pop hits may be sneered at by snooty, self-styled "collector" DJs, but the rest of us can't get enough of them. There's a reason for that, of course: they're invariably brilliant. Here he serves up two more gems guaranteed to start the party. On the A-side you'll find his legendary revision of the sparser LP mix of Wham's "Everything She Wants". The London-based Frenchman extends and dubs out the track's delicious machine drums and synths before introducing the late, great George Michael's fantastic vocals. The results are, of course, impressive. Over on the flip, he gets busy with Eddie Kendricks' classic "A Date With The Rain", making merry with the original's killer percussion, horns and reverb-drenched vocals.

Kissagui (feat Napo De Mi Amor) (4:17)

Review: Even by the consistently high standards of Analog Africa, this release is something special. It consists entirely of previously unheard music by Orchestre Abass, an obscure outfit from Togo who released a handful of singles on Polydor Ghana in the early 1970s. Remarkably, all bar one of the tracks on "De Bassari Togo" were found on a long forgotten reel of tape that had sat on a shelf in a Ghanaian warehouse for the best part of 35 years. That was ten years ago; it's taken that long to track down the remaining members of the band and license the material. In truth, the tracks have aged exceptionally well, with the band's infectious, organ-led sound adding distinct Arabic influences (a result of the band members' time spent studying in Islamic schools) to their heavy funk rhythms and riotous Afro-funk vibes.

Illi - "LDN 101" (7:42)

Joe Rolet - "Sand On Saturn" (6:32)

Review: Spanish label Beeyou kicked off earlier this year with a sterling various artists release that offered up Laidlaw, Ben Ulrich and Kesh as proponents of peppy peak time minimal wares with a garage kink. The second release features Illi and Joe Rolet facing off with a side each, and on "Lumiere" Illi appears to be channeling a little of the magic you would expect to find on mid 00s Plus 8 Records, which is no bad thing. "LDN 101" meanwhile picks up the 2 step flex and matches it with the aesthetics of contemporary deep tech house. Joe Rolet has a heavy ambience hovering over the crafty programming of "Stock Float," while "Sand On Saturn" takes a more trippy, spaced out approach that sits just right on his crisp, inventive beats.

The Seed (7:11)

Review: Back in 2016, legendary Afrobeat drummer Tony Allen approached techno pioneer Jeff Mills with the idea of working together. A series of live gigs and off-the-radar studio sessions followed, with the first fruits of their joint efforts finally appearing on this must-have 10". As you'd expect, the duo's collaborative work combines Allen's traditional Nigerian polyrhythms, traditional Afrobeat instrumentation, and the far-sighted, sci-fi inspired electronic futurism that has always marked out Mills' work. The result is a quartet of cuts that could arguably be described as retro-futurist Afro-tech - all delay-laden beats, basslines and organs subtly sparring with gentle acid lines, Motor City electronics, beguiling deep space textures and shimmering, 31st century motifs. It's arguably Allen's stylistic contributions that dominate, but that's no bad thing.

Review: Dave Lee aka Joey Negro is turning into a contemporary version of original disco mixer Tom Moulton. Like that producer's now legendary disco era reworks, the revisions on Lee's "Remixed With Love" albums are floor-focused interpretations that use little more than the original vocal and instrumental parts and some well-placed effects. There are plenty of fine examples of Moulton and Negro's craft on the Essex producer's latest collection of disco-mixes, including a slightly more dubby and spaced-out take on Evelyn 'Champagne' King electrofunk hit "I'm In Love", a swinging, jazz-funk influenced interpretation of Odyssey sing-along "Going Back To My Roots" and a superb dub of Ashford and Simpson's "Found a Cure" that brilliantly builds towards a sweaty vocal conclusion.

Review: The next one by ascendant Londoner Cody Currie comes courtesy of House Of Disco, home to great releases by artists such as Hot Toddy, Harry Wolfman and Aroop Roy. Some smokin' nu-wave antics are expressed on the terrific Italo influenced "Alpha Bravo" which opens up the A side. On the flip, he gets seriously lo-slung on the deep down and dirty funk of "Oderberger", followed by the smoky, Rhodes-led deepness of "Agony" (feat Smokin' Jones) which is perfect for getting down late at night.
