Review: The latest volume in Kolour LTD's popular ten-inch series comes from Dicky Trisco, a producer arguably better known for his impeccable scalpel jobs than his original productions. The two tracks here sit somewhere between the two, building tasty dancefloor tools out a swathe of samples and a handful of new musical elements. Rahaan style A-side "The Feeling Is Strong" peppers a rubbery, bass-heavy disco groove with jammed-out electric piano lines and razor-sharp guitars. On the flip, Trisco adds weighty new drums to a looped-up old disco/boogie fusion jam. So while the vocal-heavy samples scream disco, the alien synths and mutant funk electronics are closer to vintage electrofunk.

Review: Ashley Stevenson, who usually goes by the alias Arthur Jnr, made his vinyl debut under his recently launched project The Last Trip To Gandahar on Leicester's City Fly last year (which he co-founded) and a great one on new Washington DC imprint Better Listen. Now he continues his Stateside swing for Detroit/Houston based Kolour LTD for the sixth edition of their limited 10" series. On the A side we've got the deep and emotive retro house jam "So You'd Better Think" which is reminiscent of early Larry Heard while on the flip we've got a sweet and summery disco-edit made to perfection on "Loving You".
