Enlightenment Is Now (heavyweight vinyl 12")
Cat: HP 020. Rel: 16 Sep 24
Review: Hot Piroski Records have been on something of a hiatus for the last year or so but now make a welcome return with a new EP series. This collaborative affair is the result of an epic journey in an old Mercedes from London to Gunjur and finds label head Robin 12Tree working with The Gambia and Bongo Koi as Gambian Disco Express. 'Enlightenment is Now' marks their first release on Hot Piroski Records and it comes with vocals from Gambian mystic Rev. Joseph N'Gole, recorded on the banks of the River Gambia. This one has already been hammered by Psychemagik, Pete Herbert, and Severino from Horse Meat Disco so it comes quality assured.

Review: A Vision of Panorama and Star Creature continue their successful collaboration with another lovely 12" for lovers of classic house. Following the sold-out Fusion To Illusion LP, this new offering blends deep beats with hints of boogie and r&b in a fine showcase of the duo's signature sound, which is effortlessly cool, timeless, and trend-defying. Featuring vocal contributions from Sykes and Stacie G, the A-side delivers smooth, loungey vibes and includes the 12" version of 'Purple' which has been previously available only as a 7". The A-side also includes the instrumental track 'Ear Dreamin',' while the flip focuses entirely on instrumentals and brings a futuristic yet nostalgic edge.

Review: After years in the vault, Andrea & Alexander are now set to shine in the real world once more. This nostalgic project founded by Andrea Noce and Alexander Arpeggio in 2014 was revitalised in 2023. Initially a live setup of synths and drum machines, it evolved into a collection of songs with minimal-wave grooves and haunting lyrics in English and German, kinda reminiscent of Siouxsie Sioux and Gudrun Gut. Following a breakup, both pursued solo careers, with Andrea releasing music internationally and Alexander launching a label. Now, their timeless recordings have come back to public attention and arrive in the form of this vibrant album.

Review: This is a full artwork version of the same release that dropped recently as a pre-release white label, so will look as good on the shelves as it sounds on the decks. DJ Dez Andres has been particularly productive of late after releasing a series of" records that showcase his signature edits. The collection includes 'Boogie,' a broken beat banger featuring a catchy whistle, followed by 'Maxin',' a sensuous, downtempo track with smooth pads and laid-back beats. The final track, 'Talking,' wraps things up with soulful vocals and a romantic, late-night vibe.

Review: Los Angeles-based ASHRR are back on 2020 Vision ahead of a new album and this time serve up their own superb version of The Romantics's 1983 hit 'Talking in Your Sleep.' In their hands, it becomes a club-ready sound with a vocal you may recognise as it featured in the Mad Max episode of Stranger Things. Add in some DFA-inspired punk funk vibes and with all the instruments reapplied while new layers of bass and synth are added and you have one fantastic new version. Balearic don Fernando steps up for two remixes, first stripping things back to a deep house sound and then bringing some dub disco vibes to the fore.

Review: Bell Towers is ready to party and you will be too once you've be chaired by this new EP on Public Possession. The titular cut 'Party Boy' opens up with some colourful disco energy and a vocoder vocal that has a charming retro-future fee. After the instrumental comes the thrilling and high-speed loops of 'DJ, Music, Money' which are pure carnage and then things take a more downtempo direction with the deep, spaced-out sounds and lush twinkling synth patterns of closer 'Party Void'. Lots of ground is covered in this EP, all of it superb.

Review: More scalpel-wielding reworks of vintage cuts from 'bella Italia' (that's Italy, not the Italian-themed restaurant chain) courtesy of the ever on-point Belpease crew. This time round they begin with 'Un Colpo al Cuore', a fine rearrangement of a soaring Italian disco gem from (we think) the late 1970s - all Chic-style bass and guitars, spacey synths, sweeping orchestration and sweet, eyes-closed female vocals. Over on the flip, 'Inevitable' takes us into quirky disco-funk territory, with down-low guitar, organ and Clavinet licks vying for sound space with shuffling drum-breaks, heady horns and stylish blue-eyed soul vocals. Like the A-side, it's a winner.

Smutty Edits 01 (12")
Cat: SMUT 001. Rel: 13 Sep 24
Review: Smutty Edits is the brainchild of Jeroen Van der Smut, a music aficionado who - it is said, after indulging in kilos of Gouda cheese, chips with mayo and pancakes - left Amsterdam over thirty years ago for Anjuna Beach in India. It's a tale as old as time; a chosen dance adventurist leaves behind their quotidian European origin, in search of joys beyond the curtain of the east. Settling into the worlds of Goa trance and other adjacent electronic musics, Smut began to soak in their potents; and now, after years of surveying and reconnaissance, comes a true special ops mission: the 'Smutty Edits Series'. This first edition is a charming mix of rough-n'-tumble new beat, Balearic house ('Neukolln Riviera'), phosphorescent trance (the Board In Dust edit of 'Penkin Vogue House' is a real highlight) and minimal house come chillout, there are few vestiges of Goa here, though the record still betrays a worldly, lifelong globetrot's worth of accruing musical experiences and influences.

Review: Frank Booker's Collected Works marks the first new release on his own new label Music First. It comes after many years of earning a fine rep for killer edits and originals and getting props from big wigs like Rahaan, Red Greg and DJ Nature amongst many others. Things kick off with 'The Sun' which starts with a cinematic bit of spoken word scene setting then turns into a nice and catchy deep disco jam before 'Egbe Mi O (edit)' is a more percussive hip swinger with funky bass riffs and great hand claps. 'El Salvador' explores a steamy and summery disco-house sound with more funky riffs and freewheeling chords and 'Universal Drive' closes out with a nice bongo-laced and enticing groove for the steamy late-night hours.

Review: Border Edits 02 delivers four distinctive disco edits that blend groove, funk, and boogie into one irresistible package. Side-1 kicks off with 'Love Excess,' a track that strikes a perfect balance between a smooth disco groove and a hefty dose of funk. It's a sweet opener that sets the tone for the record. Next, 'Triple Boogie' serves up a disco boogie builder with a bassline that will feel familiar to many. It reinterprets the original into a jam that invites you to "listen to the music and let your body move." On Side-2, 'Supafunky' lives up to its name as an anthem for getting down, packed with funky rhythms that are impossible to resist. Finally, 'Wordoutro' closes the record with a drum break that's tailor-made for DJs and dancers, providing the perfect backdrop for creative mixes and energetic dance floors. This is a versatile and funky collection of edits that will keep any disco lover moving.

Review: BPlan & Fab_o's sixth release on their label delivers serious flavor with a four-track EP also featuring Raregems. On the A-side there are two dancefloor killers from BPlan & Fab_o, showing off a strong African rhythm and a groovy number with disco horns - all the elements to light a dancefloor on fire. On the flip side, Raregems contribute two slow and sexy tracks from their archive, offering rare gems indeed.

Review: After making it over the hurdle of misreading the name of the artist behind this one as "Brain Ice" comes the realisation that 'Talking To The Night' is an unorthodox kind of release, a suave, svelte mixture of Italo disco, synth, electro and hip house. First released in 1985 by the hip Italian actor and singer, real name Fabrizio Rizzolo, this was his debut release, and saw to a thoroughgoing musical career predominantly with the likes of Memory Records and ZYX Music. Popular at the time of its release, we chalk up its debutant acclaim to the offhand, subtly pitch-inflected character of its lead line, and the tomming, lighter-waving feeling of drama evoked in its four-chord progression. New remixes by Flemming Dalum and Hysteric lend an extra sense of deconstruction, and recreation, ex nihilo, to the original's demure taste for the night, providing ample sense of how scarily far we've come as modern dance artists.

Bright's distinctive voice, reminiscent of Eddie Chacon, Beck or Michael McDonald, shines throughout. His multi-instrumental prowessiplaying guitar, bass, keys, and moreiadds layers of complexity to the record. Cool Cool illustrates Bright's evolving sound and unwavering creativity, making it a compelling addition to his diverse discography. The 'ECLA Beautiful dub' adds a great alternative version that provides a broken down moody version of the original to balance the 7". Both sides are excellent.

Review: Caruso's 'Thank You', released on Ten Lovers Music, delivers a refined blend of broken beat and nu-jazz. The title track on Side-1 is a smooth and jazzy number, featuring a laid-back, shuffling rhythm with subtle Latin or island influences. The groove is easy-going yet rich, making it an effortless listen with an inviting vibe. On Side-2, 'Breathe For Me' leans into broken beat territory with a smooth, soulful vocal and standout keyboard work. The track flows seamlessly, offering a mellow yet rhythmic experience. Both songs exhibit Caruso's ability to fuse jazzy elements with contemporary beats, creating a soothing and sophisticated sound that will resonate with fans of nu-jazz and broken beat.

O Ceu E Preto (remixes) (limited 180 gram vinyl 12")
Cat: HS 258VL. Rel: 13 Sep 24
Review: Cotonete are a genuinely unique proposition: an eight-piece French jazz-funk outfit who performed live for a decade before recording their first single in 2016. They've delivered a couple of great albums since, including this year's brilliant Victoire De La Musique. 'O Ceu E Preto', a Brazilian flavoured number, was one of the highlights of that album and here gets reworked for house dancefloors by French veteran DJ Deep and pals. On side A, he joins forces with fellow local legend Dimitri From Paris to deliver a chunky, bass-heavy vocal version that sits somewhere between Masters At Work's more Afro-house-infuenced efforts and Deep's own late-night dancefloor hypnotism. He explores the latter side of his musical personality further, alongside Romain Parcet, on a flipside dub that exquisitely deep, trippy and delay laden. It's a genuine triumph!

Review: Get ready to experience a true soul classic reimagined with this special 7" reissue of Matt Covington's magical 'I'm So In Love With You' which was originally released in 1983. Now a real rare groove gem, it embodies early 80s r&b with its smooth vocals and lush instrumentation. Covington's heartfelt delivery and the track's elegant arrangement have made it a collector's favourite with original pressings now hard to find and very pricey. This reissue is sure to introduce a new generation to its timeless appeal and the flip side features 'Muhammad Ali', a funk-infused tribute to the legendary heavyweight boxer.

Olhos Coloridos (remastered) (limited 7")
Cat: BRZ 45040R. Rel: 29 Aug 24
Review: Sandra de Sa's 'Olhos Coloridos' and Equipe Radio Cidade's 'Bons Tempos Sao Paulo' bring vibrant Brazilian boogie back to life in this remastered reissue from Mr Bongo's Brazil 45's series. Sandra de Sa's track, from her 1982 self-titled LP, is a brilliant example of '80s MPB and boogie, featuring the iconic collaboration of Lincoln Olivetti, Robson Jorge, and members from Banda Black Rio. Funky basslines, dreamy Rhodes and jubilant horns complement Sa's outstanding vocals, making it a joyous, danceable piece reminiscent of Tim Maia and Marcos Valle's best. On Side-2, Equipe Radio Cidade's 'Bons Tempos Sao Paulo' transforms Chic's 'Good Times' into a Brazilian boogie delight. Originally a rare promo-only release from 1980, this version infuses the classic melody with samba rhythms, clavinet grooves, and cuica percussion breaks. Voiced by Sao Paulo radio DJs with festive greetings, it adds a unique local flavour to the familiar tune, reminiscent of the era's vibrant Brazilian music scene.

Cat: RIOT 015. Rel: 10 Sep 24
Review: Midnight Riot help the listener carve out their own personal Balearic headspaces with their new compilation Balearic Headspace, likening the "experience" of Balearic not just to a sound, but an affect, one that cannot be experienced without specific records or specific times and places. Do we believe it to be true? We may or may not, but that doesn't distract from the whopping curation job here, with most tunes on offer consisting of both total newness and reworks/revisions by the Midnight Riot crew; this 12" is a four-track selection of a wider 19-track digital comp. Our highlight has to be the ultra-smeary Tom Moulton mix of 'This Is Caribbean Disco' by Fsq, which floats atop a serious floe of stretched-out axe bubble and echoing crosstick, as its lyrics deal in word-painted themes of being held underwater. As mindfully, cognitively Balearic as it gets!

Review: The shadowy DIscotecas collective has served up some of the most on-point re-edits of recent times, with their self-released EPs regularly dipping into the worlds of electrofunk, boogie, disco and Balearica. The fifth 12" in the series delivers another quartet of killer cuts, each liberally sprinkled with a dash of delay and reverb for added dancefloor satisfaction. They begin with a hard-wired, deliciously squelchy workout blessed with the vocal refrain from a boogie-era synth jam ('Jellied Eels') before bouncing their way through the classic, lightly dubbed-out electrofunk flex of 'Love Action'. 'Early Riser' is a fine peak-time disco workout rich in mazy synth solos, glistening guitar licks and swelling orchestration, while 'Shoulda Known' is a colourful, Tiger & Woods style house jam constructed from killer loops from a vintage boogie jam and heady hand percussion.

Review: We're not going to tell you who is behind the Divine Who project, though if you have a working knowledge about gospel disco DJs and nu-disco producers, you can probably join the dots. Either way, their self-titled gospel rework series is genuinely top-drawer. After a couple of tidy 12" singles they offer up a seven-inch for the first time. A-side 'Weekend (Dubbed Out Mix)' takes a squelchy, joyous and infectious mid-80s electrofunk-gospel number - and subtly touches it up and even more subtly dubs it out for modern dancefloors. On 'Forget Me Nots', they deliver their altar-ation (sorry) of an exquisitely soulful, tactile and loved-up cover version of Patrice Rushen favourite 'Forget-me-Nots' complete with a killer slap-bass breakdown.

Review: Aussie mash-up maestro and re-editor DJ Agent '86 first made his mark two decades ago and has periodically delivered killer cuts ever since. Of those, the most celebrated is undoubtedly 'All About The Money' - a cannily constructed party jam that first dropped digitally at the tail end of the noughties. Here it finally makes it to wax. It's a simple idea, expertly executed, with the Australian producer peppering a jaunty reggae-disco groove (built mostly from a late 70s disco cover of Pink Floyd's 'Money') with a variety of cash-money related rap samples. Over on the B-side he works his magic on Blondie classic 'Rapture', adding in subtle elements from other cuts early on before building energy via the familiar groove and well-used effects.

Review: Those with long memories might remember Sex Tags UFO chief DJ Fett Burger's 2012 double A-side collaboration with the mysterious DJ Grillo Weiner, 'Disco Tre'/'Disco Fire' - a deliciously percussive and wayward workout built around choice disco loops and heavy, wayward percussion. 12 years on, the Norwegian pair are back for round two. Fett Burger goes solo on A-side 'Disco Fem', a typically stretched-out fusion of drum machine kicks, densely layered percussion and killer samples from a vintage disco record. It's a genuinely extra, extra-large affair and very, very good. Turn to the flip for 'Disco Sex', a slamming, techno-tempo collaboration that pairs thumping beats and low-slung dub disco bass with mind-mangling synth loops and ambient chords. Like the A-side, it's simply colossal - albeit in a typically eccentric, off-kilter way.

Review: Hot Biscuit Recordings' has spent the last couple of years delivering killer re-edit EPs, mostly from veteran talents including Rahaan and the Idjut Boys. For this 12", they've recruited another long-established re-editor, Brooklyn-based Japanese-American producer (and East Village Edits main man) DJ Monchan. There is of course a big fat slice of heavily orchestrated disco on show - B-side 'Finally', which seemingly extends and rearranges Steve Bendner's 1977 version of 'The Final Thing' - but it's A-side 'Silent Dub' that hits home hardest. It's sees the Dailysession Records founder turn his attention to a sparse, spaced-out synth-pop record of (we think) the 1980s, re-imagining it as deliciously deep and dubby house record full of trippy effects, echoing vocal snippets and delay-laden percussive elements.

Review: Milo Johnson AKA DJ Nature is not a newcomer to the re-edit scene - he's been serving up reworks, bootlegs and floor-focused DJ tools for decades - but he has become more prominent in recent years, thanks in no small part to the efforts of edit specialists Hot Biscuit Recordings. Here he delivers the second part of his Versions project, offering up six more revisions stretched across two slabs of wax. Check first the lightly dubbed-out, string-laden jazz-funk shuffle of 'Felix', before admiring the summery South American jazz-fusion brilliance of 'Caso De Amor de Brasileiro' and the low-slung funk-goes-jazz-dance headiness of 'Steppin'. His love of low-slung, dub-flecked workouts returns on EP highlight 'Tarzoon March', before he reaches for the lasers on disco-funk jam 'Disco Queen' and successfully tampers with a jazzy deep disco number on 'Have Mercy'.

They operate within similar sonic territory if this first multi-artist missive is believed, albeit with more of a penchant for dubbed-out drums.

Focussing on skeletal, hands-off mixing and yet apotheotic buildup production, Eagles & Butterflies truly do fly in unison on this stonker.

Review: Eastside Connection's 'Frisco Disco' was first released in 1978 on the Los Angeles record label Rampart Records; the label were active throughout the three-decade period spanning the 1960s-1990s, in which the disco craze could be said to have "ran rampart". At its zenith lay Eastside Connection, the quints of Latin disco of the time, and whose membership was an ensemble cast of any group of six to nine players, chief among which were Bertha Oropeza, Brandon Fields, Dick Mitchell, Geoff Lee, Hector Gonzalez, and Sam Cracchiolo. Now reissued on Fraternity, 'Frisco Disco' is a discographic landmark of theirs, coming as a touristic disco ode to seaside punch and beer sips and clear skies - "I love the way the ocean fills the air". B-side 'It's Real' lowers the pace and dynamics to boxout funk, and is by far our preferred track.

Review: Andy Meecham has released a lot of fine music as The Emperor Machine, but little as perfect as his recent album, Island Boogie. Here a trio of cuts from that set are given the remix treatment. Hardway Brothers (AKA A Love From Outer Space co-founder Sean Johnston) will grab the headlines for his takes on 'Wanna Pop With You', and rightly so. His 'remix' (A2) cannily combines elements of Meecham's original - synth, bass, bits of Severtine Mouletin's vocal - with oodles of hallucinatory sounds, psychedelic guitars and a tough mid-tempo beat, while the 'Dub' strips things back further whilst upping the trippy vibe. Elsewhere, Tigerbalm delivers a rework of 'La Cassette' that sits somewhere between dub disco and proto-house, and Meecham provides a skeletal, dub-wise 'Version' of his fine La Fox cover, 'S-S-S-Single Bed'.

Review: Isle of Jura revisits the wonderful 'A Muto' by Esa here with a fresh reissue of it in original form with various remixes. It was originally released in 1986 on the 'Atesa' album and became an instant hit in Cameroon and Africa. The lyrics of tell the story of a woman leaving her husband, frustrated with her isolation as the housekeeper. The song blends Makossa, a brass-heavy style from the French Cameroons, with Ambasse Bey which is a traditional fast-paced dance music from Cameroon. When it was first written, Martin gathered session musicians in Paris and personally programmed the drums and synths using a Linn Drum and Yamaha DX7 to create a unique fusion of modern and traditional Cameroonian sounds.

The Makez vocal House remix is deeper and has a hint of shuffling US garage to it, then the Sizmo A Capella dub mix ups the blissed out feels with new age melodies and supple, dubby drums.

Review: The atmosphere is enhanced by the hypnotic sound of lapping waters and the clinking of Angelo Azzurro cups, all set to a backdrop of easy listening music. The highlight of the experience is the band I Coccodrilli, who captivate guests with their funky, positive tunes. Their latest hit, 'Sabato Italiano, epitomises the endless season of youth with its catchy melodies and vibrant energy. The release features both a vocal and instrumental version, each lasting just over four and a half minutes, making it a perfect soundtrack for the timeless dance of bikinis, kisses, and carefree joy. The perfect aural partner to a relaxing beach life.

Review: Chad Jackson and Hallmighty deliver a fresh take on classic sounds with Jazz Be Good To Me on Battle Weapons France. This hip hop/R&B release features two creative tracks. Side-1 showcases Chad Jackson's 'Jazz Be Good To Me,' a lively hip hop groove that echoes the late 80s and 90s, when dance music was a key component of the genre. Jackson updates the early 80s classic by the S O S Band with a vibrant, contemporary twist, making it a perfect fusion of old and new. On Side-2, Hallmighty presents 'What Is Stormy Love,' a masterful mash-up of Haddaway and Diana Ross & The Supremes. This track is produced so seamlessly that it feels like an original song from the late 60s, blending vintage soul with modern production techniques.

Off The Wall: Live Yokohama Japan 78 (blue marbled vinyl 12")
Cat: ICONS 004. Rel: 03 Oct 24
Review: Michael Jackson's Off The Wall tour is legendary. It came in the late 1980s and saw the King of Pop at the very height of his powers, mesmerising crowds with his iconic dance moves and impressing them just as much with his vocal performances. In 1987 he headed to Japan and played live in Yokohama one magical night which was recorded on tape forever. One of the tracks he played was the title cut from his Off The Wall album and now it's pressed up to blue 12" as three different Paso Doble mixes.

Boogie Beats & Editz (Blue Label Edition) (7" limited to 100 copies)
Cat: 17361 142840. Rel: 26 Sep 24
Review: Jayse and Steve P are two DJs and producers hailing from Australia. As is often the way with music as quality and neat as this, they keep a generally low profile but their edits are deft and crispier-than-crisp, with their instrumentals - here titled simple 'Boogie A' and 'Boogie B' - sounding production-sharp enough to cut glass. Bordering on freestyle and funk, these are short slices of beat dazzlement, and also function as perfect songwriter fuel too.

Atlantic/DR Jam (Grey Label Edition) (7" limited to 100 copies)
Cat: 17946 151956. Rel: 26 Sep 24
Review: Jayse and Steve P deliver a couple of groovy gems with their latest 7" release. On Side-1, 'Atlantic' channels the spirit of early Prince with its funky disco vibes. The track is an instrumental delight, combining a spacey atmosphere with a groove that keeps the energy flowing. It's a perfect blend of classic disco elements and a futuristic edge. Side-2's 'Dr Jam' takes a dive into West Coast funk, reminiscent of Midnight Star. This track is all about classy, futuristic grooves, making it an irresistible choice for those who appreciate the finer nuances of funk. The rhythmic flow and slick production make it great for any dancefloor or laid-back listening session. The essence of funk and disco with a fresh, modern twist.
