Review: Initially released in honour of Record Store Day 2018, this tasty 12" boasts previously unheard "bonus mixes" put together by disco/house stalwart Joey Negro during work on the fantastic Remixed With Love albums. On the A-side, the Z Records chief lays down two versions of Lonnie Liston Smith's Loft classic "Space Princess", first offering up an epic, peak-time disco extension and then a brilliant beats version (the "Break Mix") that consists of little more than punchy percussion, trippy effects and bags of energy. Turn to the flip for Negro's impeccably delay-laden, New York style dub of Gwen McCrae's "Keep The Fire Burning" and a spine-tingling, sing-along rearrangement of Wardell Piper's lesser-celebrated disco-boogie classic "The Power of Love".

Wood Trees (5:24)
Daypulse (5:18)
Garden Interlude (4:26)
Into The Fun (4:43)
Review: It was probably only a matter of time before Love International chiefs Dave Harvey (also boss of Futureboogie Recordings) and Tom Paine launched a label. Fittingly, the imprint's first release, from James Holroyd's Balearic-minded Begin project, is as magical, sun-kissed and life affirming as their Croatia-based festival. Like Holroyd's previous Begin releases, the four tracks showcased here are wonderfully warm, glassy-eyed and loved-up. We're particularly enjoying the languid alien synths, jazzy guitars and rubbery bass of "Wood Trees" and the gentle, Bossa-infused shuffle of "Day Pulse", though the dub-wise Balearic house bliss of "Garden (Interlude)" and lounge style jauntiness of "Into The Fun" are also both superb. Basically, it's fantastic from start to finish.

Hit The Streets (6:22)
All Day (5:57)
Trinidad Trouble (5:03)
Penguin Vacation (5:20)
Review: Having got the juices flowing via a split re-edit release with Jacques Renault earlier in the year, Cosmic Kids member Daniel T returns with his first full solo EP of floor-ready reworks. Arguably the most ear catching of the lot is "Trinidad Trouble", a fiendishly percussive, cowbell-laden tropical disco affair blessed with carnival-ready flute flourishes and heavily accented Trinidadian vocals. It sounds like a genuinely sweat-soaked peak-time treat. The hits keep coming elsewhere across the EP, from the "do the Bus-Stop" hustle of Blaxpolitation disco rework "Hit The Streets", which provides a seriously strong opening gambit, to the leisurely, laidback and sumptuous sounds of trumpet-sporting afternoon delight "Penguin Vacation".

Turn Me Out (5:49)
Review: Less of a whisper and much more of a future bellow; these 1979 disco boogie gems still shine with such an effortless synth class they sound as if they could strut out of a studio almost 40 years later. "Keep On Lovin' Me" is all about that slinky, molten bassline while "Turn Me Out" fixes our focus more on the Californian band's epic harmonies. Another premium excavation from Be With, we'll keep on lovin' this for a long long time to come.

Selection - "I'm So Glad" (4:15)
Review: Here, re-born Italo-disco stable Full Time Records digs deep into its archives for sought-after gems from 1982. On the A-side you'll find the original version of Rainbow Team's sugary-sweet, string-drenched disco shuffler "Bite The Apple" (first featured on their A Song For You album) accompanied by a brand new deep boogie "Dub Edit" by storied Italian DJ/producer Massimo Berardi. On the B-side you'll find two versions of Selection's brilliant "I'm So Glad": a loopy, gently beefed-up contemporary edit from LTJ and the '82 original, which could well be one of the greatest Italian boogie tracks ever made. Essential stuff, all told.

Love For Days (Kenny Dope remix) (7:47)
Love For Days (PDM extended mix) (5:20)
Love For Days (Motez remix) (5:34)
Review: Given the serious disco-house credentials of '90s survivor Boris Dlugosch and contemporary nu-disco chops of hyped outfit Purple Disco Machine, you'd expect "Love For Days" to be pretty darn hot. It is, of course, with Purple Disco Machine's extended mix - nestled on the B-side - offering the perfect mixture of strong diva vocals (provided by Karen Harding), sweeping disco orchestration and modern disco-house trickery. Arguably the best version, though, comes from Masters at Work legend Kenny Dope, whose fluid rework utilizes looser, live-sounding percussion, far more orchestration and all manner of original disco-era references. Motez completely flips the script on B2, serving up a skipping, Champagne sipping version that brilliantly joins the dots between disco and two-step UK garage.

Sartorial & Simon Kennedy - "Welcome To The Disco" (6:50)
Sartorial & Simon Kennedy - "Strange Feeling" (6:30)
Review: Since launching last autumn, the Tropical Disco edits label has served up some seriously hot and humid revisions. Like its predecessors, the imprint's third EP features re-edits by Cheshire man Simon Kennedy and London-based Alex Sartori (AKA DJ Sartorial). The standout cut is arguably joint effort "Welcome To The Disco", a gently housed-up revision of rush-inducing disco number rich in undulating string lines, Tony Montana style orchestration, bongo-heavy percussion breaks and the duo's own well-placed filters and echo effects. That said, there's much to set the pulse racing elsewhere across the EP, from the piano-rich heavy disco stomp of "Strange Feeling" to the rolling, low-slung brilliance of Sartorial solo edit "Shoot Me With Your Love".

Review: For the latest volume in their crate-digging disco series, Under The Influence, Z Records has turned to long-serving British brothers Simon and Robin Lee AKA Faze Action. In keeping with the series' dusty-fingered ethos, there's plenty of brilliant rarities to set the pulse racing - see the smooth '80s boogie of Leston Paul's "All Nite Tonight", the up-tempo hustle of Oscar Perry's "Body Movements" - as well as a smattering of obscure versions of classic dancefloor hits (check Michele Claire's version of "In The Bush"). You'll also find a smattering of killer Faze Action edits, too, with their version of Midway's "Set It Out" and Mikki's freestyle-era boogie ham "Dance Lover" standing out.

Thinking About You
Thinking About You (Lauer remix)
Thinking About You (Fort Romeau remix)
Review: Pushing Movies is a collaborative project from Jeffrey Sire and Dimitri SoEmotional that celebrates the vintage tones of Italo disco, synth pop and all things slick and 80s. "Thinking About You" does indeed sound like it could have been made 30 years ago - from the slap bass to the reverse drum fills, plastic FM synth lines and overall aspirational tone, it's the consummate extended 12" mix track. Lauer takes the original and smacks it up sharp with some tougher drums and a greater sense of urgency, and then Fort Romeau takes a subtle approach that keeps much of the original spirit of the track intact while honing the edges for maximum club play and using some cosmic synth flourishes to devastating effect.

Marthe Zambo - "Alu" (4:32)
Sonny Okosuns - "My Ancestors" (4:39)
Review: Another superb afrofunk outing from Renata Do Valle's Hello Sailor as he and Tom Noble dig deep and apply a little cosmic edit craft. Marthe Zambo's horn-tooting, key-tickling soul gun "Alu" gets a little tempo touch, a thrust in the kick department and a lavish synth solo breakdown. Meanwhile on the B the latent funk and insistent swing of Nigerian legend Sonny Okosuns' "My Ancestors" is given a perfect and respectful lick of contemporary production paint and a little cosmic polish. Hello indeed.

The Trip (7:24)
Sisters Of The Moon (6:44)
Review: It's been a while since celebrated crate diggers-turned-re-editors Psychemagik treated us to some sublime scalpel works. Predictably, the two edits showcased here - both of little-known tracks discovered during their dusty-fingered digging missions around the world - are both top notch. A-side "The Trip" is a fine chunk of psychedelic-era druid funk - a veritable pagan ritual full of acid-fried, floor-friendly rock grooves, hallucinogenic flourishes and hazy, hug-a-stranger chorus vocals. Flip for "Sisters of the Moon", a drowsy, loved-up and thoroughly eccentric slice of slow bliss smothered in wavy synths, lilting steel guitar and sumptuous orchestration. It's great to have them back.

Brothers Gonna Work It Out (7:19)
Get Down Boy (7:06)
Review: Tokyo tag-team Kei and Nagi Sugano, aka Dazzle Drums, have been responsible for secret weapons in the bags of some of the finest DJs since their debut in 2005. In addition to supporting Danny Krivit each time he plays in Tokyo, the duo periodically floats him exclusive edits to test out during his expansive sets. Two of these in particular have become regular features on M. K's dance floors, and it is these prime choices that have been selected for the latest release on Most Excellent Unlimited.

"Brothers Gonna Work It Out" takes the cinematic soul classic and toughens it up with a propulsive drum track and immaculate editing to extend and energize the already powerful tune. "Get Down Boy" is a relentlessly driving disco cut whose dramatic synth-and-string heavy instrumentation provides a plush bed for seductive female vocals before giving way to a tremendous bass break that is certain to leave dancers in a sweat.

Reverently mastered and spread over a wide-grooved 12-inch single, it's another MEU sure-shot.

Review: First time reissue: Christy Essien's fourth album from 1979 is a remarkable piece of work in so many ways. Well-chiselled songs, laced with Christy's signature poetry, a rich afrobeat fluidity runs throughout the arrangement flickering between soft-focus island style ("Respect Your Man"), salubrious foamy funk ("Take Life Easy"), powerful soul ("Understanding") and synth-rippled dancefloor soul ("You Can't Change A Man") Madly she was only 19 when she made this record! No wonder she's known as Nigeria's 'first lady of song'.

Bengali Dub
Simha
Tum Tum
Review: Jonny 5 can rightly be considered a mainstay of Bahnsteig 23 now, as he returns to the label for the third time. It seems that the main source of inspiration for this latest opus from the intermittent producer has been the Indian sub continent, and he's channeled those vibes into three wild and wicked tracks for the weird dance party. "Bengali Dub" channels the proto electro vibes of 80s synth pop and shoots it through with some illustrious sample drops, while "Simha" works more like a particularly bold edit loping in a polyrhythmic fashion that will have the floor hopping like mad to keep up. "Tum Tum" turns up the heat on the B side with a deadly electronic revision of an Indian classic.

Makin It Hot (Matt Hughes remix) (5:17)
Sparkle (5:35)
Sparkle (Dave Allison remix) (5:56)
Review: Back in 2016 we waxed lyrical about the synth-funk focused debut album from Liquid Pegasus, a producer who could well become a major force on the nu-boogie scene in years to come. Here he presents his first solo single since, a notably vibrant, colourful and sun-kissed affair that regularly reaches rush-inducing levels of positivity. Check the meandering synth-bass, sparkling stabs and eyes-closed jazz guitar solos of "Makin' It Hot". "Sparkle" is deeper, more laidback and a touch more disco-fied - whilst of course emphasizing bold boogie synths - but also superb. Dave Allison does a great job slightly upping the tempo and increasing the Balearic factor on his "Sparkle" remix, while Matt Hughes take on "Makin' It Hot" is arguably sturdier and more club-ready than Liquid Pegasus' original version.

Track 4 (6:04)
Review: The high-grade house cuts continue to leak from Ant Plate's studio at an unstoppable rate, this time manifesting as his Yse Saint Laur'ant alias on the Vinyl Only label. The funk is looped up and low down nasty on "I'm Gonna Miss You," while "Persuasion" pings into a foggier head space without losing some of that dusty sample grit. "Dance, Dance, We Dare" is a more disco leaning affair that should sit right on a dancefloor warmed up for a good time. "Track 4" eases back for the run out, hitting a worldly note that could soundtrack a cruise across the open plains of the American deep south.

Review: Lord have mercy! Showfa returns to Excursions with four more exceedingly vital gospel edits. "Amazing" is a down-home floor-kicking piano and blues standard with just a little extra pump in the kicks, "Surely, Surely" is a little more upbeat and R&B-like with big preacher vocals sitting perfectly in the gaps of the groove, while "Praising" brings a little electro boogie to the front row pew. Finally "I'll Show You The Way" shows us the light by way of glistening strums, flighty sax and a dream-like atmosphere you'll think you're in actual heaven. Win, don't sin.

Review: Someone put the mute on the info button here because nothing is known about the source or editor at all here. But the music's more than strong enough to do the talking. Balearic soul and international disco through and through, track one rattles with a little Afrofunk energy, track two has more of a Latin sunset feel while the final track is a swooning, mooning sweep into crazy town with some strong psychedelic textures. Spacy, singular and special: You won't want to mute these for a long time.

Pourquoi (feat Queenie On vocals)
Draw The Line
Line Drawn
Review: Pleasure Unit is doing a damn fine job building up a catalogue of discoid deviance from the likes of Skatebard, Lunar Concept and Loose Change, and now it's the turn of debutant project Field Of Dreams to lay down some 80s-tinged grooves for the smoother kind of dancefloor. "Pourquoi" features Queenie, and it shows off the individual heritage the two producers in Field Of Dreams have (one was in 90s chart toppers D:ream no less), all plush chords and slinky grooves with an alluring French vocal thread coursing through the middle. "Draw The Line" is a more synth-rich affair that leans towards the moodier end of acid-tinged disco, and then "Line Drawn" drifts out into Balearic boogie of a dubby nature, providing plenty of variation for the warm up or melt down dancefloor.

Review: Hotmood is up next on Disco Fruit with some brightly coloured tracks that sit just right in the bowl next to previous efforts from Funky Junkie, Gradient Logic and more. "Let's Ride" is low down and nasty where it counts, but also manages to be smoothly finished so as to keep the crowd happy. "Mr Funkyman" gets a little jazzier, looping up where it counts to keep the sweet, sweet groove rolling as long as needed. "My Disco Collection" is a more rugged affair rolling at a slower tempo, and the appropriately named "Clean Cuts" gets busy with a loop that could roll on all day without anyone tiring of it.
