Marcella:
I don't really remember - I only thought that I sounded like a 8 years old kid a bit out of tune with italian accent.

Jeffrey Sfire:
Sfire 1 was the incarnation of Sfire. I met Sophie at a Motherland show in 2008 (Sophie and Marcella's berlin based band). I suggested she make a dance version of a song they played and she asked me to come to the studio to help produce it. She had heard me djing many times and was a fan. We became good friends and made a few more tracks along the years. we hope to make more soon.
As for me I've been a dj since i was 16. Grew up in Detroit. Fell in love with underground 80's music (house italo freestyle) and have been djing regularly since.

Opening track 'In The B' kicks off proceedings in no uncertain fashion. It's 100% wall shaker material, the type of techno music best paired with strobe lights and towering speaker stacks. It mesmerises with its low-slung undulating bassline and Detroit rhythms before giving way to some riotous old school Essex stabs and sharp claps. No messing, this is a certified 3 AM red light burner! Track 2 'Chocolate Biscuit' accelerates proceedings! Beginning with unfussy drums and a robotic, bleep-heavy melody driving it off into a wonderfully off-kilter direction. Its arpreggio'd rhythms may be brutish and wrestle a growling sense of menace out of the track, but the overall feel, however, suggests considerable care and attention has been paid to make it sound this way. There's clearly an uncommon musicality at play here to make something this complex feel so simple.
The BPM drops next on 'Jenny's Hall' but from the offset, there's enough funk and thrust in the motorised synth line to get bodies gently grooving without the beauty getting lost in the slower loop. This is blissed out, psychotropic techno - the kind of track where it feels like you're floating and falling at the same time, but all the while making sure you still remain fit for purpose on the dancefloor. Ian Blevins takes on remix duties this time and the Berlin-based DJ/producer offers up a sleek peak-time banger that fizzes, bubbles and percolates. He gives the rhythm on 'Jenny's Hall' less space to swing and ties it to a tight motorik beat turning it into a slice of shiny, modern techno but with extra shoulder-checking force. Its vibe drawing from a sense of outsider-party fun with a wry smile, and a knowing wink running throughout before bringing the package to a suitably left of field crescendo.

Jeremy Campbell and R. Zanzibar return as Out 2 with their debut full length, Showcase. Following their recent Moving EP, the duo expand their mix of New York off-kilter pop lyrical poetics riding over percussive desk-dub funk grooves.

After collaborating on releases for Lectric Sands and L.I.E.S (Zoovox and Locks & DDM) the Brooklyn team dug deep in the studio to create 6 vocals and their dub versions in a true 'showcase' style.

With that, after its appearance in longer 'discomix' form, the album starts with the original version of Moving. Just under 3 minutes of hectic New York funk - chop guitar, punch bass and blasting horn jump ups. Rolling straight to the Version, Campbell's mixing desk skills let it all hang out and back. Snares rattle, hats ride, bass in and out, a voice rightly interjects "...are we moving".

Sliding in to Dancing, the tryptamines start to flow and skip atop a steppas beat. The "raps", dubs and fx weave their way in to your subconscious as electrons whirl in a warm psychedelic fuzz. This is further exemplified in side closer, Pale Fens. The improvised vocals fit seamlessly among the beats, bass and guitar haze. As the skin, lips, eyes, pull you in, the Version takes it deep. Sole guitar solo and the rest rides from the desk. Perry, Bovell, Sherwood. The beauty in the space between is the essence of music itself.

Side 2 starts with a crowning gem, Some Air's Red There. Flute rides a hook that is simplicity in its ingenuity. Zanzibar in his wayward element "...she said I had the wrong rhythm". By now ears twisted to what the Version brings, the laidback vibes, with wind solo, drift to an Upstate/White Isle summer's day that is long remembered.

Don't Stop comes on as a No NYC love paean. Congas, rhythm guitar and impro' lyrical flow, contorting bass, flange, flange, flange. "Run all day, we don't stop". Version just glides and glides. Finally, to close, Run is the lazy finale dub (master)piece. A simple Jammy's style riddim; a midi-funk groove. It swings low alongside lyrical imaginings, encapsulating Out 2's place in the New York firmament, where disco, punk, hip hop were and are very much fellows with the often overlooked, but amazing dub reggae that has been produced in the city for decades.

Over the past couple of years German producer Tim Bernhardt, aka Satin Jackets, has established himself as one of the biggest names on the nu-disco scene, clocking up more than 25 million streams of his debut 2016 album 'Panorama Pacifico' on Spotify alone. Earlier this year, Tim compiled 'Diamonds Are Forever', a 7 track mini-album of re-mixed and re-mastered tracks from the early days of his career.

"I had been chatting with some fans on Facebook about the first Satin Jackets productions and we realised that there were quite a few tracks that, for various reasons, were no longer available anywhere" explains Tim. "So I dug through my back catalogue, making a list of some gems from around 7 - 8 years ago, then revisited each track to give them a little nip and tuck and apply the benefit of almost a decade's more experience. Honestly it's been an experience to revisit these tracks and reminisce on the stories around them as they all helped shape Satin Jackets into what it sounds like today."

Four of these tracks get a vinyl release now on Tim's very own imprint.
The A-side opens with the synth-pop anthem 'Hollywood' that helped put the Satin Jackets sound on people's radar back in 2012. It features a rare occurrence of Tim's alter ego Eric Cozier on vocal duty. 'Got To Be Love' is a chilled and laid-back instrumental track that also appeared on the highly successful 'Milchbar' series of fellow German Chill and Balearic producers 'Blank & Jones'.

The B-side starts with 'Olivia' that went into high rotation on US wide satellite radio SiriusXM while 'Latin Jackets' rounds off the picture with one of the earliest Satin Jackets tracks ever which also opened up the live shows around the world on many occasions.

Manchester-based producer, DJ, So Flute Co-Founder and radio host, Yadava debuts on Omena with "Earth Tones".

Just like his previous music released on fine labels such as Ad Hoc Records, Church and Banoffee Pies, Yadava is offering an unique twist on melodic and rhythmic jazz influenced music that highlights his growth as an artist.

Mr Beatnick's Mythstery imprint returns with a two track 12" for the collectors, purpose-built to wreck your discoteque. Side A features a speaker-crushin' Bollywood refix by Breakplus, fresh off the back of his iconic mini-album "Instant Bull". Side B finds Mr Beatnick making his Mythstery debut with an acid slow-burner, a lazer-lit dystopian rollerskating jam. Artwork by Optigram, limited to 300 copies.

Two soaring love songs from DJ Rogers, 'Love Brought Me Back' backed by 'Love You Forever', remastered and reissued on South Street's new disco reissue arm. With original's trading hands for upwards of £70 it's high time a reissue dropped of these classic cuts.

'Love Brought Me Back' sweeps in first as gentle chimes and whirling winds blend with a delicate bassline and staccato strings that open up to behold Rogers' powerful prowess on the mic. Influenced and honed in the church, there's a spirituality to the delivery that few can match. An honesty and warmth resound in the arrangement with a definite dose of funk making this a sure-fire '70s soul hit that was big on the disco dancefloors.

On the B side the second of Rogers' sweet serenades, 'Love You Forever' marries clavinet chords and plucked live bass riffs with tender female harmonies, providing a perfect accompaniment to Roger's soothing tones. The ultimate end of the set song and a way to win over any hearts and minds that need to be swayed.

Two essential treasures fitting of the first reissue on South Street Disco!

G. Markus returns with two fresh edits after his first G-Edits release sold out and enjoyed heavy support from all sorts of discjockeys. '70s soul/disco is the flavour here with a legendary diva getting the treatment, with one big peak-time banger and a slo-mo chugger for good measure. Danvers helps thickens things up in the bass department with some live electric bass on both tracks.

PBR Streetgang return with their first original material of 2017. A limited 300-only pressing on their own bespoke label, 'Streetgang Jams'

'Late Night Party Line' will be the first single from the long-awaited PBR debut album set to be released in December 2017.
A party banger for the discerning dance floor with a killer baseline, a seriously hooky diva vocal and a distinct whiff of 80's night club sleaze, this is one of the most distinctive and daring releases PBR have ever made.

Hot off the back of their acclaimed 'Lost Property' releases, support and plays have come far and wide from Paul Woolford, Bicep, Gerd Janson , Midland, Tensnake, Man Power, Paramida and Crazy P

Ralphi Rosario is a pioneer of house music, kicking off an influential DJ career in Chicago when he was still in high school. The remixes and productions that followed have garnered him #1 Billboard Dance Chart hits as well as more than 20 well-respected years spinning records. He's an artist who represents the ethos of Glitterbox Recordings, with decades of quality house music history woven into every beat. Also in line with the spirit of the label, 'Wanna Give It Up' is a classic track given some very tasteful modern updates, from Dr Packer and Jamie 3:26. The familiar 'Légo's Dub' from the original release is present and correct, alongside a suitably funked-up version from disco edits maestro Dr Packer. Finally, fellow Chicagoan Jamie 3:26 amps the party up a further notch with some irresistible clinking percussion and a lazy-cool groove.

DBA's house leaning dubs series returns this time fronted by Kemback and accompanied by DJ Bone remix under his Differ-Ent pseudonym.

Better known as Kemback, Geoff Wright is a Bristol-based producer, selector, violinist, teacher, and sound. His debut release on Bristol mainstay Futureboogie received widespread support from UK tastemakers including Skream, Mosca, and Bonobo. He has also recorded on Alfresco Disco and Omena Records.

Balla et ses Balladins were one of Guinea's national 'orchestras' formed as a result of the newly elected President, Sékou Touré's 'authenticité' policy of the early 1960s, which sought to promote Guinea's cultural identity following independence from France in 1958. Gomori takes the scalpel to two cuts recorded during their years on the state-run Syliphone label, making good use of bandleader Balla's lively trumpet playing. The gently haunting 'Nyo' is taken on a stomping slo-mo chug with a head-nodding bassline and stuttering FX creating a shimmering effect on the tropical guitars, while the rousing horns of 'Wilikabo' are laid over with rasping synth bass for a punchy juxtaposition.
Sterns Edits is an official collaboration between African music stalwarts Sterns Music and London's Ben Gomori.

Through his many compilations, Mr. Lee has delved deep into the heart of a specific genre or era and selected lesser-known tracks that give a real insight into the spirit & energy that made that point in time so special. Whether it's GoGo, Brit Funk, Boogie, Italo house or straight up Disco, he has delved deep into his extensive bank of influences and also enlisted the help of some of his most clued-up comrades in offering unforgettable collections of classics.

This time he’s been joined by Neil Pierce as co-compiler for this second collection of their favourite moments across a definitive decade for House & Garage: the 90’s. Volume 2 includes material from Satoshi Tomiie, UFO, Slam Mode, Joi Cardwell and Alexander Hope as well as remixes from Kings of Tomorrow, Kerri Chandler, Marshall Jefferson, Tommy Musto and Smack Productions. The compilation is packed with sultry vocal lines and the sort of slick, irresistible grooves that defined the era.

Dave and Neil have dug out music that may have previously ‘slipped under the radar’ meaning a lot of the tracks included here are being digitised for the very first time.

In searching deeper & wider than the average compilation, the package provides a thorough insight into why this was such a fertile period for production. It gives a nod to the sort of drum patterns, sampling techniques and vocal lines that have inspired the likes of Bicep, Brawther and Huxley amongst many more.

“If there is one person who links all these songs together it’s Paul “Trouble” Anderson. Though the tunes are mainly American the sound is very much the type of soulful house that Paul played and was popular in clubs here. There are so many classic songs from the 90s I heard for the first time either at his club or on Paul’s radio show. He absolutely loved his music and clubs, that was his life and he lived that life to the full. This album is dedicated to you Paul R.I.P.” Dave Lee

“It was Paul that gave me my first ever break in this industry and was a dear friend to me right up until his passing. I'll forever be grateful for the opportunities he gave to me and the musical lessons he taught me throughout the years. We finished the track listing on this compilation way before Paul's passing but if you look through the playlist it could have been an out and out tribute album to the legend such is his influence over myself and Dave. So therefore I'd like to dedicate my selection to the one and only "Trouble" RIP.” Neil Pierce

Luv Shack Records' 26th release marks the return of Vienna based artist and label regular LeSale. The Baguette Magique EP packs three punchy original tracks plus a remix by deep disco don and Vienna resident Roman Rauch.

First off, there's the original version of 'Baguette Magique', an uplifting dance opus carried by a tantalising disco sample, a plethora of bleeps and synthetic patterns, evolving into a cosmic, almost-techno piece in the second half.

Roman Rauch's remix takes out the tempo and the quirkiness of 'Baguette Magique', instead opting for a laid back 80s tropical groove, turning the original theme into an insanely deep and obscure chord sequence.

On the flip, LeSale takes things to disco territory with percussive drums, a cheeky filtered sample and a hyperactive synth bass sequence on 'House Rules'.

'Jungle Breeze' wraps up the release, offering a hazy mix of deep pads, tribal drums and oddball flute samples.

Mothball Record in association with Bordello A Parigi is proud to present one of the strangest and most mysterious recordings from the whole Italo-Disco era. Sitting somewhere between goth, italo and new wave, “Space Melody” is a dedication to ancient Egypt and outer space.
The original EP was almost totally lost to the sands of time, until recently the original mastertape was unearthed by the artist and later painstakingly transferred by Rude 66.

The record is completed by new instrumental versions from the Danish Italo king Flemming Dalum and the Spanish italo duo Futuro.

Whiskey Disco Small Batch is back to the fold with 4 cuts of sub 120 boogie bliss. Frank Angles kicks it off with a jam right at home on a boat, in the bay or on the playa. Alex Zuiev, fresh off his first Whiskey Disco release, flexes his funk and leads the
party with a solid left-centric disco party. Dubbed boogie galore on both outside cuts! Buzz Compass and Murge hold down the inside crafting perfect early set kindling. As with all Whiskey Disco Small Batch, it's not for everyone, but it's perfect for you.

Mule Driver presents: Rainshadow

Imagine yourself on a deserted bank of the dead sea, a day after the end of days, taking part in the RainShadow tribe’s ceremony, chanting and thanking the spirits.

On this new EP, Mule driver delivers four post apocalyptic tribal tracks with a dystopian feel, fusing obscure techno with dark spiritual rhythms, driven with crushing beats with a hint of disco.

Tel Aviv based Mule Driver / Harel Schreiber has been highly active in the underground techno / electronic scene of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv for almost 2 decades with releases on his Los Jubilee & Confused Machines imprints, Parallax records and many more.

His full analog live shows are constantly evolving and are not to be missed.

Rainshadow is Mule driver’s ultimate treat to date and it was worth waiting for.

Originally released in 1983 on the famous CAM Records for the obscure Vietnam movie 'Tornado' (Antoni Margheriti), this highly sought-after soundtrack finally gets the official re-issue treatment it deserves!

Hailing from the coastal Swedish city of Malmö, Sune steps forward to provide a fourth EP for Lorca and Liam Curran's Live Ones. With his Mimosa Kuriosa EP he serves up 5 masterful disco and soul inflected rhythms that'll hit all the right spots.

Having previously provided his signature sunshine grooves for Better Listen, Kyoku and his own Honey Butter imprint, Sune is fast building a reputation as a prolific purveyor of funk. The EP shows off Emil Sunesson's ear for playful samples and infectious grooves. Dusty, heady drum programming features heavily across all five tracks, employed subtly on the laid back 'Bring Some Tea' while unleashed to devastating effect on the upbeat 'The Way U Make Me Feel'.

There's something for everyone on this versatile, enigmatic EP from a talented young producer that we're sure you'll be seeing plenty more of in time to come.

Disco Bits return with more edits aimed straight at late night disco dancefloors.

Four more lovingly re-tooled jams (including a very cheeky early 90's style mash-up !) await
As varied as they are well crafted, this is optimum floor-food once again from the Disco Bits crew

For its third volume Jongno invites old collaborator and friend of the arts Laura Ingalls to the fold for more obscure Korean edit madness. Laura Ingalls takes it down a notch with his signature endless dub delays and French Touch filters, looping Kim Wan Sun into oblivion on top of 707 daft beats, complete with guitar solo geekiness and spliced out vocals.On Side B, mysterious digger and editor Jongno Edit takes the disco to the max on Side A with a Tina Hwang facelift that will make you do the korean shuffle and back. Loaded with bass slapness and disco synth toms this will fit right into the late night boogie and day light workout of anyone with a heartbeat.

Rollover Milano is proud to present Anything Goes - Rollover Edit Service Vol.3

Second release from the promotional edits label La Bestiole Records. Loony saxophone, frenetic TR beats and love advice: everything you need to make people dance together and love each other.

On Opulence's second release the label welcomes Grammy nominated artist James Teej with his "The Only Constant EP". Inspired by his budding years DJing, James revisits his early house influences and delivers two powerful cuts of disco infused grooves laced with an overall contemporary touch.

The first track "The Only Constant Is Change" is a highly infectious dance floor number reminiscent of classic filtered disco house, arranged with a patient and contemporary restraint. The track's hypnotic and repetitive nature draws the listener in, and keeps the attention throughout with subtle changes that slowly grow to a tasteful and rewarding climax.

On remix duties Opulence has invited Apollonia's House music legend Dan Ghenacia who delivers a slick deep house rework that keeps the vibes intact of the original with the French artist's signature groovy machine touch. Already road tested over the summer at DC10, Dan's remix helps bring the original to a place closer to the club's dance floor.
The 3rd and final song is "Life Goes On", a grooving disco infused classic deep house cut that features No Regular Play's Greg Paulus on trumpet.

The song perfectly blends the sounds of yesterday with a modern touch and feel, and provides an uplifting soundtrack for any dance floor, especially those magic moments outdoors on the beach.
Once again, James continues to show his passion and diversity in his music with this expertly crafted EP that will surely be a welcomed addition to any house lover's record collection.

ARTIST STATEMENT
When I started out in electronic music in the 90s, house is what got me hooked. It was the style I have played and loved most over the years.

Back then I would buy a lot of different styles of house records from around the world, I always loved how the sounds were so varied, and would have these amazing subtle differences in their sound and aesthetics. But in the end I have always had a real soft spot for disco and jazzy sounding house.

This record draws on some of my earlier influences, as well as being inspired by some of my favourite labels of the time like Glasgow Underground and Prescription.

This EP comes at a point and time in my career where looking back continues to inspire me to move forward.

I always had a hard time finding records that were a bit more restrained sounding and not too over the top, so this is what I have attempted to do with this record.

To help bring some of these vibes and influences into the 21st century with a modern touch for the new generation of house lovers and DJs."

Less than a year after the release of their first EP with brilliant Parisian editor Chevals, Mister T. records are back with a new 12” EP showcasing Brazilian edits by Joutro Mundo, one of Rio’s hottest producers. Famous for revisiting Brazilian hidden jewels, Joutro Mundo has become a reference in the electronic music scene of Rio. He has recorded several reworks on his own
label, Outra, and released EPs on Mareh Music and Midnight Riot.
He’s now joining Mister T. Records with a 3-track EP demonstrating his ability to deal with all the facets of Brazilian music. With “Jangada”, he managed to shape a great party track full of Boogie rhythms - and its furious percussions - reinforced with
funky guitar riffs and sharp synths, while in “Inferno”, he kept the melancholic atmosphere from the original record. Finally, “Melo Do Camelô” is certainly the EP's most dancefloor-oriented track with its thumping tropical groove and the artist's trademark hypnotic acid touch. This record perfectly reflects Joutro’s digging / producing skills and the EP’s summery vibes will delight Brazilian music lovers and DJs!

Four blazing Disco Edits venturing deep into American and Asian Disco by Son Of Lee from Brooklyn. He played a seamless DJ set for Disco Bizarre at KitKat Club Berlin in November 2019 and ever since we wanted to release some of his material...

What a great opportunity to start up our new label, venturing deep into Italo, Disco, HiNRG and all the bizarre stuff in between!

The neon lights that decorate a dive bar's window cast a vivid reflection in rainwater on the pavement outside, as steam rises from deep beneath the ground. A slow pan across the scene, past alleys cast in shadow, twilit corners & glass doorways streaked with the mist of humid bodies fuming inside: the camera catches the denizens of an unnamed city, studying faces heavy with secrets too sad to bear. Cut to the motorway. Sleek cars barrel through the night. Sirens moan. Engines rev. You're behind the wheel, over the edge as the credits roll.

This film does not exist — but the soundtrack does. Symmetry is Johnny Jewel & Nat Walker, & Themes For an Imaginary Film is their two-hour cinematic opus pokus, a sprawling score for a movie that screens only in your mind. A 'conceptual tangent between Glass Candy, Chromatics, Mirage, & Desire's more abstract sides,' as Jewel himself describes the project, Symmetry is a vigorous, electric, restless exploration of ideas on the bleeding edge of instrumental sound. Analog synthesizers roll and crest, drums collide, keys cascade clear & crystalline. These themes evoke the phantasmic images that inspired them: urgent and ethereal, sinister & romantic. It's a neo-noir epic of pink fog & femme fatales hidden behind rain drenched windshields after dark.

Produced By Johnny Jewel & Nat Walker

Originally released in 2007 via TBot's All Nite House Party label, now available on his own TUFF CUT imprint.

With Afro Tipsy, Masanori offers up a monster of rolling percussion and pulsating synths. Feel the stress of the day fall away, your veins flowing as if with the very energy of a thousand suns. Moving confidently to the dance floor, your head and limbs begin to move in new and unexpected rhythms. Don't be alarmed - you feel good.

On the flipside, the remix from Almunia (Claremont 56) takes you deeper than deep. The sound envelops you as you enter the club. The continental winds and low pressure lift you aloft and you circulate around the dance floor, carried far as if on a warm jet stream. The rhythm drives, dubbed-out guitar echoing through the night.

Leonardo Ceccanti and Gianluca Salvadori taking you to new places.

2017 saw the arrival of Pin Up Club here at the Bordello with a superb three tracker, Friends of the Vortex. Now the Dutch partnership are back. This time a quartet of tracks has been selected to produce The Forever Machine. The bold bars of Friends of the Vortex, the romantic rushes and soundtrack silhouettes are all present with new elements being introduced to further develop a truly unique style. Breathy vocals and melancholy are countered by warm synthlines in the brooding 'Valis' before the lonesome 'Is There Anybody Out There' blooms into a daringly bright work of disco dimensions. Opening the flip is the title piece. Smouldering, 'The Forever Machine' burns with quivering chords that rise ever skyward on a column of tight rhythms as lyrics spiral ever upward. 'A Deepness In The Sky' is a perfect illustration of Pin Up Club's ability to transform burgeoning sombre sounds into tempered elation, rumbling strings and fragile percussion intermingling for a heady finale. Welcome back to Bordello A Parigi guys, welcome back to Pin Up Club.
