House Novedades

French Disco maestro Dimitri From Paris' Le Edits imprint is back supplying you with the excellence you've come to expect.
As ever beautiful new versions of deep soul and disco classics alongside the most fantastically realised limited physical artefacts are the name of the game. When you buy a Le Edits release, you know you are holding something très magnifique in your hands!

Le Edits No.6 is truly a treat. A split 12" featuring 2 very different artists, reworked to stunning effect. The A-side sees 2 mixes of Leo Sayer's 1977 stepper 'Easy To Love' sit comfortably across the whole side of wax. A real connoisseurs track, this midtempo treat has seen numerous cover versions and has long been a play for underground DJs and diggers for many years. Naturally, Dimitri has crafted these special versions in true Le Edits fashion - with infinite love, care and respect, from the master tapes - we're even treated to a 'dubstrumental' take that eases Richard Perry's languid original arrangement into new places in the best possible way.

Average White Band's anthemic 'Let's Go Round Again' is a stone cold disco classic, instantly recognisable and one of many highlights in the Scottish groups enviable discography. AWB have long been cherished by true fans of disco and soul music, and their music has been sampled, reworked and rediscovered numerous times. Dimitri brings his deft studio expertise and knowledge to the table and turns out a stellar new remix and 'club dub' of this evergreen mover. With much care, sensitivity and unfettered access to the licensors, source audio and tapes, Dim has managed to breath new life into these records and continues his reign as one of contemporary music's top remixers.

All mixes are fully sanctioned and created in conjunction with the artists, rights holders and Above Board Distribution. These releases are 100% official and therefore essential. This isn't an 'under the counter' operation, Dimitri and Le Edit are here to bring back quality and class to the re-edit game by doing things, once and for all, properly and respectfully. All Le Edits releases include a no re-press guarantee. Utilising the highest end tip-on heavy duty sleeves, and outer protective sleeves, pressed onto 100% virgin vinyl. These new mixes have been legitimately commissioned and will not be available digitally. This product cost 4 times as much to produce than your average Disco edit 12’’ because Le Edits believe in quality first and foremost.

Moony Me ¡Hola! ¿Qué tal? For this lovely piece of black gold
we’d like you to meet Moony Me! The man probably doesn’t
need much of an introduction, but he took some time off the
game so we’re even happier he’s honoring us with his
comeback EP. And what a glorious one it is! When we first
heard the title we immediately thought about all the beauty
and honesty of the electronic music world…Fancy promo texts,
fake third person bios, deep’n’dark artist pics and kids
standing in the front at boiler room. In a healthy way,
“Pretentiously Unpretentious” leaves a lot of that stuff behind
(fancy promo text LOL) and instead offers a package that has
MUSIC written all over it. There’s not a single track on this
record that takes itself too seriously, you’ll always find quirky
percussions and weird synth blobs somewhere. For us here at
the rtct.records headquarters it’s all about the attitude
someone makes music with. And, I mean, would you look at
that picture on the record? It’s friggin’ adorable! It’s all in there:
family values, humor, his niece and a blue tongue. He’s got it
all! Check this record out, there are tunes on there for every
age and bpm while still staying true to the classic Moony Me
danceability. Is that even a word? We don’t care. We love it!

Part five in a series of 12” vinyl EP’s celebrating 30 years of Z Records and the legendary Dave Lee. Featuring sought-after tracks and remixes by, Joey Negro, The Sunburst Band, Loose Change & Gwen Guthrie.

First up the funk fuelled boogie of ‘Stomp Your Feet’ gets a more hypnotic nu disco groove flip from the ever dependable, super talented Hot Toddy delivering a mix that builds and builds. Following that, one of THE best dancefloor tracks of all time, Loose Change ‘Straight From The Heart’ gets the rework treatment from Joey Negro, elevating it even further into stratospheric, peak party anthem territory.

Flip it over to find Dennis Ferrer taking on the sophisticated disco of The Sunburst Band ‘Journey To The Sun’, turning it into a deep but powerful bass heavy groove with techy stabbing synths under those dreamy vocals. Finally, closing out the package a trademark Joey Negro remix of the classic Gwen Guthrie - What A Life that’s sure-fire feel good power.

Parisian label Chuwanaga proudly presents Latitude, Saint-James label co-founder new studio project. Keeping it close to the deep jazz-funk ethos of the label, Latitude brings to the light two luminous songs of joy and hope for a better day, highly danceable yet rich and complex grooves with a human feel to feed your soul and make you move. Their new EP Leo / Attitude presents these first effort with a Dub Remix by Mato: plenty of diverse tastes for every music enthusiasts. Available as Vinyl 12" and Digital.

Latitude is french. Not a random collection of chansons sung in french. Latitude is so french in its sheer elegance, in its simple yet so sophisticated seemingly effortless attempt to groove in a pop context, trying to create moments of grace in the process. Latitude is here with the right vibe as the chorus of "Attitude" says it in french: "It’s the bad attitude, always the good latitude". Latitude is sprung out of the wicked musicianship of Parisian jazz-funk and fusion mavericks and Saint-James tight and adventurous compositions and production. All that jazz combined with David Cukier (Greita) retro-futurist engineering skills in these intense sessions captured in his cutting edge vintage Delta studio.

On A Side, "Leo (Extended Mix)" is an uptempo disco track for the dancers but also a beautiful song for the summer. A seductive number with a pregnant classic French jazz-funk feeling with the help of Parisian singer Club Celest’s energy and beautiful voice. It comes on digital as a short edit for radio but as a serious extended 12inch mix on the vinyl with 8 minutes and 10 seconds of pure pleasure, ending in a real climax after an irresistible percussion break.

On B1, "Attitude" enchanting quality shines with a banging rhythm section and goes for the win as an anthem chorus while sweeping synths keep on growing till the very last drop. On B2, Reggae/Dub don Mato (Stix Records) delivers a sweet dub wise riddim for the Lovers Rock massive.

CLEAR vinyl 12" (300 COPIES HAND-NUMBERED)

Let us introduce to you the Mr. Disc Organization brand new series
"Obscure Tracks", made of essential, stand-out and rare italo and
electro tracks straight from the label's catalogue, remastered and
pressed on limited-edition vinyl for the first time ever.

A very diverse array of material in this special "Volume 1" that begs to
be explored.

Up first, Moy Boy's "Notte Divina" (Divine Version), originally released
in 1990 and recently spinned by Neapolitan instrumentalists Nu Guinea during their infamous set for Boiler Room at Dekmantel Festival. Jet Set's "Love Dance" is pure diamond of Italo disco with exquisite vocals to carry you away. So much anticipated and requested.

On Side B, the fizzlin' electro of 1984 "New York To Moscow" by Jimmy Ross, with busy, bristling drums and plenty of cinematic atmosphere plus the instrumental mix of the heavy funky italo jewel "Shame" by Stephanie overflowing of tropical attitude coming from 1983. All killer, no
filler!

From the mists of 1981 comes the most contemporary and ground breaking of the criminally underrated London group New Musik, helmed by prodigious writer, producer, mixer and engineer Tony Mansfield (Nick Straker Band, B-52's, Captain Sensible & more).

'The Planet Doesn't Mind' is a flawless piece of shimmering electro disco, uptempo, synthetic, futuristic - almost a perfect fusion of pop and 'proper' electro. A truly exceptional track that stands out through its originality and its sonic aesthetic, the mixing, the lyrics.... everything. An early 80's electronic masterpiece. On the B-side we have the very different, but equally as exciting and forward looking '24 Hours From Culture - Part II', a heavy and moody slice of instrumental dub. A record that, over the years, found favour with contemporary DJ's and producers who sought inspiration from the left-field fringes of popular music, counting Ame and Todd Terje among its fans it is a true left-field nugget, deep and soaked in atmosphere.

This is pretty much a flawless 12" all around, and the fact that it is 37 years old and sounds like it could have been made next week makes it an essential record for any music lovers collection. Sublime.

This is a fully licensed and 100% legit reissue, remastered and repressed in conjunction with Above Board distribution and all relevant license holders.

Two fantastic deep jazzy house tracks by the Chicago Master Ron Trent

In the early 80s Japan was in a flourishing bubble, becoming the world’s second-largest economy, threatening to overtake the West with its cutting-edge innovation. Middle class Japanese citizens indulged in luxury clothes, imported wine, and international travel, enjoying unorthodox freedom. City pop emerged as the soundtrack to this cosmopolitan lifestyle: an ode to bright colours, sunny beaches and naive romances, with a clear West influence. Such influence also brought together the first health and fitness wave to Japan: for the first time, taking care of oneself was trendy, and Aerobic, the word in everybody’s mouth.

Hyped by the momentum, both the Aerobic Fitness Association (A.F.A. U.S.A, still running) and the Nippon Aerobic Association put together a program to help audiences follow Aerobic classes on channel TBS. Not surprisingly they hired one of the most inspired young talents of the Era, the guitarist Yuji Toriyama (now well known as one of the fathers of Japanese fusion), to perform, together with Ken Morimura (keyboardist for the salsa band Orquesta Del Sol) a series of tracks that could help the viewers keep their body moving.

As surprisingly as it seems, that fusion of killer boogie guitars and synths with kitsch aesthetics was made for exercising. Aerobics is a soundtrack made up of boogie beats that span the genres of funk, technopop and even City Pop with the purpose of getting folks off their heinies and moving around rhythmically. As this album plays fully instrumental, Toriyama’s rhythms and glossy arrangements melt together perfectly with uplifting synths and programmed drums to give birth to a distinguible cheerful atmosphere. An Aerobic Jam.

A refreshing and vibrating experience from beginning to end to kick off the summer in perfect shape.

Some slamming 1978 Disco HEAT from the Salsoul stable! 'Pass The Buck' is a very popular LP cut from the group's sole long player 'Law & Order', naturally any Tom Moulton mix from that period is well worth your ears and your time if you consider yourself a Disco lover, the man's hands were all over a ton of classics and he had the magic touch for real. 'Pass The Buck' has all the hallmarks of the bombastic 'Philly Sound', arranged by the legendary Ron 'Have mercy' Kersey and his team and mixed by Moulton, this blast of FUNK opens side B of said long player. Mysteriously never released as a 12", this is one TM mix that really benefits from a nice loud pressing as it is presented here on this special RSD 19 12" reissue. That's not all, throw in a super, extended, cosmically overdubbed and tweaked re-edit from NYC's master of such disciplines - Joe Claussell - and we're talking some serious business, right Well, that's what you get on this special limited release, the full 9+ minutes of Joe's very special reinterpretation, this one's all killer and no filler. Spiritual Discofied-Funk straight outta NYC for your enjoyment! Fully licensed, sanctioned and released by Above Board distribution and Salsoul Records. Accept no imitations!

Parisian label Chuwanaga proudly presents the first opus of its new 12inch series, starting with the brand new EP of Koji Ono: Ricochet / Maloja Pass. Recorded during a short week-end in Paris, it is the result of a true collaboration by a team of musicians who wanted to bring a modern twist to a classic and timeless sound, staying true to the original late seventies/early eigthies dance music spirit and the passion of Chuwanaga for the original Britfunk.
On bass, you’ll hear Lester Batchelor aka LB from Atmosfear, the legendary British JazzFunk band best known for their En Transe LP and the classic track « Dancing In Outerspace». Killing it on the drums, Roy Mistry is their 2020 official drummer. Recording together in Studio Delta, with Koji playing almost all the other instruments, from keys to guitars to percussions, they all had a blast collaborating on these two new tracks. Add a blazing Rhodes solo by Jean-Michel Bernard on « Maloja Pass », some precious magic from producers Seiji Ono & Saint-James, a great dose of savoir-faire by sound engineer David Cukier aka Greita (Disques Flegon)… And you end up with two killer tunes ready to blast their way through your speakers.
On both tracks, you’ll immediately recognize Koji Ono’s touch – as found on his previous Incognito EP : simple but uplifting melodies on synthetizers, sparkling guitars and a certain playfulness in the arrangements. On side A, « Ricochet » sounds like an irresistible mid-tempo boogie banger. On B side, the uptempo « Maloja Pass » is faster paced and bursts with energy, giving the listener an irresistible urge to travel endlessly through the night.

Atsushi Yano returns to Omena LTD with "Whole Rotta Love".
Another excursion in jazz-flecked free form funk blended with trippy disco and afro.
In short - like Maurice Fulton, Fela and Miles Davis jamming together.

BEATH FEAT. ROXY SATISFACTION / REAL TALK: “ROXY” (UK) joins music producer and keyboardist “Beath” to collaborate on this solid 7″ vinyl release. Two tracks that perfectly catch the late 80’s vibe.

Four DJ cuts from the crates of Bottin!

Salford '95: a rave devotee with a penchant for Air Max cops an MPC1000Â off the back of a lorry & a cheeky lend of a Korg MS-20 from a local sputnik huffer, feverishly setting to work with a battered pile of hardcore breaks and mad love for the dancefloor. A bunch of explosive warehouse cuts are rapidly thrown down before he switches off his machines and heads off down Bowlers for the usual weekend pleasantries. Returning many days later and trounced off a wild combo of mitsis and brown acid, DJ AB is devastated to learn that a crew of lads from Hyde have ransacked his bedsit scrounging for his last ten bag - leaving the recently recorded DAT nowhere to be seen.

Thought to be lost this whole time, Red Laser CEO, Il Bosco (and distant Absolutely Shit family cuz) was 'unbelievably buzzing' and 'jizzing in my pants' upon happening across the item at one of his frequent car boot forays prompting a huge celebration down here at RLR HQ when we realized we'd finally be able to let the public in on this subversive aural gold from one of the scene's most elusive heads.

A super limited white label EP containing 2 dancefloor bombs and a couple weirdo tracks were pressed and hawked in record time back in 2017, and now change hands for top dosh. At the time of writing there's only 1 for sale in the shark pool (discogs init) for a whopping £500 and has got a jizz stain and 'shane is a ball bag' written on it. Almost like someone (possibly DJ Ab Shit himself after hacking into a mates account) is taking the mick here, crossing their fingers for a Japanese investment banker with infinite yen to pull the trigger only to be sent a jizz stain and no record via recorded delivery for an extra £38 postage...Henkin nashi (no refunds) g...

Anyway, for the second instalment from DJ Absolutely Shit and his first 'proper' release, Il Bosco (operating strictly within the original blueprints) has revisited these epochal rave musings and, alongside some help from extended Red Laser fam has tweaked em for modern playage.

1) A Night At Shelley's Laserdome (20.2k remaster)
First released on that white label teaser, now the stuff of nightclub folklore; the original DJ Ab mega-anthem is given a proper release and kicks off the EP; destroying the discogs market value of the white label whilst delivering a bona fide and timeless slice of dance music history to those that need fulfilment. If you missed it first time round, expect rushing vox, tingly melodies and pure ruffage breaks. It's been touched up for maximum grunt too...Tidy!

2) Return To Shelley's (Metrodome, Il Bosco and Begin XR2 M6 mission)
RL Cru on the remix tip! In house mastering specialist, LVLs beatmaker and probably the most underrated producer in the universe, Metrodome joins old guard rukus maker, Begin aka James Holroyd and gets frisky after some warm tins and slack zoots in Bosco's studio. Conjuring up a focussed remix that cracks and thuds HARD we like this new version as much as the OG. Two pharaohs please Dudderz - sharpish! 3) Cut Those Tory's Down To Nowt
Lauded for causing the infamous White hotel 'flasher' to vacate his crow's nest and hit the dancefloor unabashed, it's hard to ignore that rugged bassline and those gliding synth stabs. Throw in some proper b-boy biznis like live scratches and vocodered vox and it's a veritable tapestry of warehouse music wondertropes tha'll find mass appeal at large late nite gatherings...

4) Bang Into Breakbeach
Sourced from a crusted minidisc and dated sometime around 2003, a track for the smokers and the after party. A chilled instrumental laced with seductive horns and a baggy break, it harks back to that original Grand Central sound and proudly dons its favourite pair of Nikes for the occasion. Head nodding goodness from beginning to end and a beat so catchy fuckin' Jay-Z's queuing up to drop a verse or two on it...


Only recently dipping out of the wilderness to allegedly and briefly appear at the legendary Pomona Island raves bellowing his infamous catchphrase 'INABITEVERYONEELSE' over the mic, DJ Absolutely Shit's whereabouts remain a bit of a mystery with even Il Bosco 'not being able to get hold of the turd'. Spray canned graffiti throughout the city centre suggests that he's still active. That or a load of NOS-quaffing, snap-mapping yoot have gotten onto the myth and have been mimicking his tags in town for a buzz. Who knows...Perhaps news of the Red Laser crew creaming the coin offa the top of his crusty old DAT tapes will coax him back into the fold...he probably couldn't be arsed though...

GAMM150 is here and it's a big one.

Rahaan is back on GAMM and this time with his buddy DJ Emanuel with some nasty (!) post punk/funk disco.
The A-side runs down a timeless Garage classic...but with a gritty twist.
The B-side is just sex, orgy and disco crammed together on black plastic. Imma Phreak is just...phreaky! 


Freedom Dance presents the first 12inch release served by Gigi Testa with Earth on Faya EP: On Side A the aforementioned "Earth on Faya" is another crescendo track with the well know Gigi Testa's sound imprint mixing live instruments with eletronic analog sounds. Side B includes
"Is this the Future ?" arranged and produced at Gigi's Home studio during the lockdown and already introduced by Antal (Rush Hour) on his Worldwide fm radio show and Fred P on NTS radio .
Play B-side till the end to translate a message of freedom and hope waiting for the time when we can finally dance all together once again.
Power to the People Always !

First collaboration between Lego Edit & Relative with this new
project. 12” Hand stamped copies for your summer vibes.

It was said that the craft was so large that one could walk for days without touching a wall. That instead of the glowlights above, there was only one, and somehow it split into the many we have today. And in the floor of the ship, there were rushes of water, hallways so to speak, that entire men could float down. And so they did.Depth Over Distance is bringing new talent to the limelight with its second release. A collection of cosmic grooves spanning 5 original tracks conjured by young Bristolian Mcgregor. Going from solid crunchy house grooves (Light Years From You) and an ethereal mix of breaks, pads and crisp percussion (Reality) on one side of the vinyl, to a more extrapolated back side: Wanna E, with its unexpected groove and drops, ready to tear up an unsuspecting dancefloor, Closer feeling like a timeless breakbeat classic and with 1997 (vocal mix) forming an elegant, emotional last note of the EP.

The 3rd volume of the infamous NoLo edits is finally here! Bassi is once again taking care of cutting, pasting and reworking it the old way, ripping and remastering the OG vinyl and giving new life to 3 more outstanding bombs from the 80s.

The super extended A side is a killer edit of a hard-to-find UK electro-funk masterpiece, on the B-side we go back to that US sound with a flipped out version of a classic Up Front electro track, while the 3rd track is pure editing madness for dancefloor lovers, taking out the unnecessary content from a Modern Soul hidden gem.

This exclusive 12' single includes a selection of solo tracks and has been curated by the Joe Strummer Estate.

The sleeve features never-before-seen artwork created by Joe Strummer and Josh Cheuse, Joe's long-term creative collaborator.

It's a third trip out on vinyl for us here at Sprechen and steering us through the surf is Manchester 6 piece 'See Thru Hands' who drop seriously sanguine vibes on their lazer guided single 'Connectivity'.
A self-produced alt-pop banger from the collective which fully delivers on all things 'disco-not-disco-synth-funk-dancefloor heater' vibes, which brings to mind peak 80's Chaka Khan partying with LCD Soundsystem & A Certain Ratio at Paisley Park.

Remixes for every occasion on this one with Skream cranking up the Italo disco-o-meter to 14 on his bass driven peak time banger for large room raving while Jorja Chalmers takes the party back to a smokey shebeen on her mix that sounds like Tricky sharing a blunt with Aphex Twin whilst King Tubby twiddles the dials!

Our very own Massey finishes off the package with a mucky tops-off style gutter pumper which belongs in those basements you'll often find him and many like-minded souls dwelling within.

KHANDoIt's hypnotic 100 BPM stomp does not adhere to genre or fickle trends, it simply bangs.
The track begins with a sturdy kick and piano glissandos which recall Alice Coltrane's most transportative work.
As the beat picks up, a creeping, filtered arpeggio enters its journey between rhythmic and downright nasty serving as the track's primary drama.
Its a stunning intro to the new label GRIMY TRAX, a musical chameleon that can be dropped at the beginning, middle or end of the night.

To complement the epic A-side, Grimy returns to the endlessly talented midwest and emerges with LULU, an original track by deejay/edit ace Bruce Ivery.
The track seamlessly combines the Chicago acid sound with the clever vocal sampling of early 90s NYC house. The result is pure peak-time heat.
Towards the end of the track, Ivery arranges brief melodic elements into a propulsive disco facsimile. This unexpected turn summarizes the philosophy of the new label and the way this small group of artists selects and makes records. It doesn't matter if it's house, disco, or techno, just make it GRIMY!

Not a lot is known about who is behind the Amplified Orchestra moniker, although there is a Chicago address stamped on the vinyl. Cosmic Slope is a spacey number, with bubbly basslines and a full retro synth workout to challenge the likes of Moroder and co. It has a great cosmic vibe to it, with some lovely sounding synth solo's and a bubbling bassline. The title track, on the flip, Fun Thing is a sick acid work out with a mean and aggressive 303 bassline, housey stabs, cool strings, superb synth lead solos and uplifting female vocal shouts. This is EP all about the bounce!
