Fools Gold US Vinyl & CDs

Review: Before this album, Justin Nealis was most famous as a New York-based mixtape provocateur and party-starting MPC jockey, but paradoxically his more introverted side has also turned out to be his more accessible one. Tough Love, his debut collaboration with multi-instrumentalist Sean Mann, is a vibrant and infectious confection of electronically-driven pop, which mixes beat-driven euphoria with melodic melancholy. Likely to please fans of Phoenix and Talking Heads alike, 'Tough Love' - which originally saw a release in 2013 - maintains both an ebullient charm and a lightness of touch throughout its nine effortlessly catchy songs; machine music with heart and soul.

Review: The "High Top Fades EP", by Sammy Bananas, features four brand new reworkings of nineties club classics by K7, Ini Kamoze, Jazzy Jeff And The Fresh Prince, and Sagat! This is a dynamite Fools Gold release.

Review: Those who regularly dance at disco clubs may already have heard Saturday Love's killer debut single, '2 Be Free'. Released digitally earlier in the year, it's a wonderfully timeless chunk of late '70s NYC disco revivalism produced by KON and featuring sublime lead vocals from New York singer Furious. This highly anticipated vinyl release naturally leads with Kon's original extended disco mix, where Furious's Sylvester-esque vocal rises above walking bass, rolling beats and Logg style piano motifs, but also includes two new revisions. Oliver Dollar cannily reinvents the track as a sweaty, peak-time-ready chunk of disco-house, before Baltra lays down a sweeter, more melodious take that sits somewhere between slick nu-disco and rushing Balearic house.
