Following on from 2018's 'Tribeca Tapes Part One' release, Willie Graf & his musical partner Darren Eboli deliver another fantastic 4 tracker on Copenhagen's Music For Dreams Label.

Willie Graff splits his year between DJ residencies in New York and Ibiza (Pacha). In this second outing with studio partner Darren Eboli, the influence is, African, NY clubbing, World mixing Mediterranean and further afield. The duo finds its roots in the past, building a link between the soul of a song and the warmth of a melody then combining them with a contemporary sound.

The opener 'All Is Bliss' sits at the pinnacle of the underground - A powerful, Balearic, disco influenced club track full of Spanish guitar, handclaps, club synths sounds like it was made for Dj Harvey's 'Mercury Rising' at Pikes in Ibiza. 'Ahimsa' is an outstanding track with funky breakbeat, weird Eastern samples, sneaking acid and Kraftwerk like arpeggios.

'La Sirena' is a balearic beach styled mid tempo chugger with chopped up breaks, deep sub-bass, Compass Point styled keys, whispering voices saying 'Let Your Mind Be Free'. If you are a Cafe Del Mar connoisseur and longing for that sunset moment 'Bellatrix' does the trick featuring bits of Spanish Guitar, Flute, Oboe and floating warm pads creating that early 90ties vibe. Another winner from Willie and Darren - and hopefully an album soon.

Disco-formatted and world-fusioned four tracker with hints of Finnish-Prog-Rock, Jazz and New Age by Helsinki's Jesse. Last track being the burner on this EP, "Keke Rullaa", a blissfull balearic pearl with mediterranean guitar, soft glow and afro-beating rhythms embedded in a dynamic 9 minute narration.

Harlem's legendary Disco label P&P and it's associated labels have long been cult favourites among fans of underground dance music for decades.

One of many labels operating under the equally legendary P&P family of imprints Sound Of New York, USA was operated by one Peter Brown, a truly colossal figure in NYC's music scene, it's catalogue still fascinates music lovers to this day. Covering a wide range of styles including Gospel, early Rap and Disco the label's output continually finds it way into the playlists of respected DJ's and selectors across
the globe. This super heavyweight double-header features 2 stone cold rarities from the labels vaults on 1 12" slab of wax for 2019!

Johnson Products kick off side-A with their killer, relentless groove 'Johnson Jumpin' which originally came out in 1979 on the label. This was truly an underground hit at the time and in the years to follow with it appearing in the playlists of Frankie Knuckles and many other clued up DJ's of the era. It's a dope keys led dancer with some serious DIY analogue synth going down all over it and the band are literally killing it the groove is so so tight! Essential stuff here. Flip this one over and you're in for another treat, Willie Wood & The Willie Wood Crew's version of the same cut, basically 'Johnson Jumpin' with some serious old-school Disco-Rap leanings, Willie spitting bars of fire all over the same funked out backing track. Both of these records, if you caught them out in the wild, solo, would easily set you back a few nuggets. Fear not, you can grab this legit repress and dig on them both in the comfort of your own home! Fresh!

This is a 100% legit reissue, made in conjunction with Above Board distribution and the Demon Music group, lovingly remastered with love by Optimum Mastering, Bristol UK.

Changing the 7-inch single dance music landscape with a single stroke, Most Excellent Unlimited's latest collaboration with famed DJ and edit master Danny Krivit is a motherlode of sure shots straight from Mr. K's personal stash. Most of the ten cuts have never appeared on the smaller format and are Krivit's edits exclusive to this release, making the collection an essential addition to any DJs play box and a deep dive into the top-shelf selections of one of the world's most talented dance floor conductors.


Matching slinky boogie with 80s street soul, hedonistic disco delights and jazzy groovers, danceable Afro beat and purple-tinged funk, the boldly diverse range of styles reflects not only Mr. K's well-honed taste but the traditionally multihued make-up of the classic New York City underground club sound.


The five singles have been remastered for loud club play, and come in a custom box. Also included are two dye-printed 7-inch slip mats, only available with this release.

Take Me in Your Arms Tonight / Feel the Fire (feat. Stephanie Mills)

Venetian born Simone de Kunovich takes the Superconscious sound into refreshingly bizarre territory with his debut 12” Mondo Nuovo Vol. 1. A student of film and the arts, Simone digs deep into archives of the mondo and exploitation genres, sampling obscurities and piecing them together with vintage synthesisers and a modern ear, producing mind-melting psychedelia suitable for late-night hypnotica and introspective home-listening.

From the manic resonance in “Strategia della Tensione” to the blissful atmospheres of “Mondo Segreto”, Mondo Nuovo Vol 1. is an intelligent collage of inspirations that blurs the lines between dance music and cinematic artefacts. A unique experience which sits comfortably amongst the Superconscious back catalogue.

--> Mr Raoul K vs Timmy Regisford, Claudio Coccoluto, Lehar, Musumeci <-- 5 top Jungs auf einer herausragenden EP. Trippig, deep, geisterhaft, treibender House. Die Tracks passen alle super gut zusammen, teilen sie doch alle ein Tribal Element, eine großartige Dynamik und euphorisierende Schallwellen. No filler, just killer.

-------------------------------------------------

Mr. Raoul K: After having met quite a couple of times while dj-ing in Greece, Timmy Regisford and Mr Raoul K decided to take their friendship to the next level: do a record together. Say hello to the 'Gongon Alt Mix' of Mr Raoul K's 'Moment Psychedlik'. Their rework adds am overall summery touch and softens the tribal beats of the original towards a more lush atmosphere. You're still welcome to lose yourself in the swirling synth sounds and mellow yet drving beats. Dance on. Watch out for Mr Raoul K 's album coming 2019 on Compost.

Claudio Coccoluto: With over 100 remixes, more than two dozens own releases and 70,0000 records collected and catalogued since the early 70's - Goats Head Soup' by the Stones being the first one he ever bought at the tender age of nine - Claudio Coccoluto is an tradenmark. He started an apprenticeship from spinning records on pirate radio stations to the all the world's most respected dance institutions. From television to radio programmes, his name and brand was exported overseas - The Italian DJ', his face was published in countless magazines (DjMag cover, July 97' and the new DJMag Italy in December 2011). An artist who accepts both the past and future of music production, he is surrounded by all the famous analogue machines of the 80's and 90's: Emulators, 909s, 808s, Vermonas, Akais, Moogs etc, but also obsessively experiments with the latest digital softwares and the explosion of the plug-ins'. His precipitation into the world of production led him to begin working on a project with Savino Martino and Dino Lenny, creating the record label - The Dub'. He collaborated with Subsonica on the production of one of the band's tracks on the critically acclaimed Microchip Emozionale' album. 1997 is the year of 'Belo Horizonti' (produced by Basement Jaxx). Claudio's most successful piece of music, which sees a sale of over 1 million copies worldwide and a definitive appreciation by a wide range of artists and critics alike.

In terms of creating history via the party medium, Claudio and Tina Lepre built the infamous Angels of Love' parties from the ground up, which he worked on for five years. However, his home ground has and always will be Goa Club in Rome - Italy's best club in terms of attitude and cutting-edge musical selection, one which was certainly nurtured by DJ Giancarlino, a man with whom Claudio has had a long- running almost brotherly musical relationship with. Via a mutual synergy and vision for what the club atmosphere should contain, the two founded the Thursday nights Ultrabeat' at the club. In more recent times, Claudio has dedicated more attention to his own personal night at Goa - Nozoo'.

Lehar's aestethic categories of the sublimity and beauty of nature find their roots in Romanticism. As you may notice while listening to Lehar's music compositions, intuition and emotion are the basis of his creative process, finally resulting in a near impromptu. Lehar's debut EP ‚Sargas' on Offenbach imprint Connaisseur Recordings has put him on the map of modern electronic music and represents his artistic manifesto: a mixture of sounds and atmospheres of dramatic effects characterized by intimate basslines and intriguing melodies. Lehar's EP Magic Realism on Diynamic Music, the indie single Number One Hero featuring Rush Midnight on 2DIY4, his contribution to the - 10 Years of Diynamic album celebration, his mini album - Picture released in October 2017 on Diynamic Music, as well as the - Penta EP he released on his own imprint in 2018, have consolidated his reputation as a producer. Thanks to the active work on the remix side and few collaborations with Musumeci, Lehar's music also appears on Compost Black Label, Endless, My Favorite Robot, Mood Music and Lost & Found. In 2018 he, together with Musumeci and Olderic, created the label Multinotes. In the same year he and Musumeci presented a new concept for a one night event called MUSE, in 2019 they will have their own summer residency at Heart Club in Ibiza.

Musumeci always has a deep passion for electronic music. He is successfully shaping and contributing a modern, forward thinking approach of dance music and club culture - made in Italy. With worldwide highly acclaimed releases on Innervisions, Diynamic, Connaisseur and a previous Compost Black Label 12 his state of the art house music received support by the likes of Mano Le Tough, Âme, Laurent Garnier, Tale Of Us or Ewan Pearson to name a few. Whereas Sicily based Musumeci, also part of the project Human Machine - making big waves with their 146 EP' , one of the masterminds behind the superb Italian underground label Engrave Ltd - and a top notch DJ of course!

Disco Segreta releases on 12 two true obscure italo-disco gems!

For the first time ever on a 12' release, Patrizia Saronni's 'E poi' and 'Perché Dovrei', only previously released as a 45 for the tiny Pongo label back in 1984.

'E poi' is a female-voiced tearjerker sung over a heart-melting italo-electro-synth line, while 'Perché Dovrei' is a power synth-pop-talo teenage rebellion anthem.

But the most wonderful discovery on the actual master, has been a *previously unreleased* alternate version of 'E Poi', that didn't make the original release, which sounds crafted for today's dancefloors. Release will also feature a remixTBA. As common with our quality standards, repress is officially licensed and taken from the actual analog masters !

(In Flagranti remix) A relative newcomer, the unique and infectious energy that Kayroy (real name Finnian Langham) brings to both his production work and DJ sets is catching the ears and hearts of dance floors from his hometown Melbourne, Australia, to the far reaches of the milky way.

A relative newcomer, the unique and infectious energy that Kayroy (real name Finnian Langham) brings to both his production work and DJ sets is catching the ears and hearts of dance floors from his hometown Melbourne, Australia, to the far reaches of the milky way. What began as a love of the disco era has grown to encompass everything from obscure deep cuts of 80's synthpop to trippy acid tinged techno - music which builds on the foundations laid in smokey, sweaty rooms lit by mirror balls all those years ago. It all comes down to his love of a good tune, and the pursuit of a good boog

« Remixes » is a meeting of French electronic champions.
French Touch veterans I:Cube and Chateau Flight, trendsetting DJ Raphael Top Secret and newcomers Flegon provide us with remixes of the autumn released LP « Sphere Of Existence » by Antoine Kogut.
Where the LP explored atmospheric and experimental pop, « Remixes » gives us a perfect four tracker that is made for the dancefloor.

On side A, Chateau Flight transforms the title track « Sphere Of Existence » into a 90's Italo house banger while I:Cube does what he does best in his unexpected dub version. On the B side, Raphael Top Secret reworks « Current density » into a Hip House track full of jaunty vibrations and newcomer band/label Flegon fulfilled their goal of working with their all time favorite French Touch pioneer label Versatile giving us a Nu-Disco remix of the song « L 'oeillet noir ».

Be sure not to miss this limited vinyl-only release by Barcelona's disco crew Apersonal Music. Three old classics get revisited by the main artists of the label, Robbie Ellington's "Don't Cry" gets the disco treatment by specialist crate-digger Trujillo, the "Shaft" theme song is turned into a dance-floor killer by Portuguese duo Cisco Cisco, and on the flip side KMA takes "Storm" from Rare Silk to a new level by adding live played instruments and 303 acid loops.

While 'Natural Bliss' brings us back to earth, with warm percussion setting a gentle mood, before evolving into a feel-good, disco influenced house joint.

Everybody's Freaky Under Nature's Kingdom.

Rounding up five years of Heist also means we're releasing our fifth version of the Round Up. Last year's edition was full of highlights with Fouk remixing Nachtbraker's anthem 'Hamdi' and Alma Negra going all tribal on Nebraska's 'Big plate chicken'. This year, we've seen a lot of new faces on the label, which has brought us a fresh set of combinations and a couple of really nice revisions of the tracks that made our year.

First up is Detroit Swindle's take on Heist's latest signing Hugo Mari. They chose to remix 'Change ur ways', beefing up the dreamy original. They focus on a simple but effective grainy groove and added a twist on the bass to give a more 'warehouse' feel to it and play around with the lovely detuned keys and vocal chops of the original to great effect.

Alma Negra show you just how loose their limbs are with a Rhodes filled version of Kassian's Acid surprise 'Bad Habit', while the full B side is dedicated to Pitto's personal take on Adryiano's classic house track 'Me and you and her'. His version takes the track into a new territory that lies somewhere between balearic and dreamhouse. Whatever it is, it's got a lovely vibe where the vocal is complemented by airy pads and a touch of acid.

Kassian on their turn, have done a great job on taking Pitto's 'Treat me like a fool' into 4x4 house territory. They've opted for a sub heavy club track where reverbed hits and the vocal take turns over a solid house groove. Next up on the C-side is Adryiano. He's picked Detroit Swindle's moody-but-heavy album track 'Cut u loose' and does what he does best: a steady and nicely distorted filtered house groove that packs quite a punch. The final track of this compilation really is a great pair of artists: Hugo Mari and Alma Negra. Hugo takes the tropical warmth of 'This is the place' and adds a subtle punch with a smart percussion loop and some added pressure on the low end.

So there you go. Another year, another Roundup. We hope you'll enjoy listening to these re-interpretations as much as we do. Yours

Sincerely,
Maarten & Lars.

German producer, DJ and label-owner Phonk D, who has risen fast to stardom in 2018, is back once again on NDYD Records with his sequel-release Disco Goodies Pt.2, an outstanding four-tracker that should instantly do the trick to boost his career even further.
From Talking Vintage, an quite energetic floor-filler with a feel-good sound thanks to the percussions that will last in your memory for some time, to Gettin Down, a homage to the French 70s on the southern shores of the Cote dAzur, the charismatic producer keeps the level at the very top of the game. The b-side complements the funky ride with the pumping disco-sensation Can Do It while Disco Africana, with its lovely afro disco-touch rounds up the picture of the 30th release on the emerging German label from the city of Frankfurt.

In 1980, the 9th Creation began working on new music at a Modesto studio, South East of Stockton. The studio was suspiciously cheaper than all of its competitors. After recording weeks of material, the band discovered the reason. 'We didn't know that the guys that were running the studio were drug dealers,' A.D. Burrise recalls. 'There was a big raid.' All the studio's master tapes were confiscated by the DEA. J.D Burrise unsuccessfully sued the DEA to recover the tapes but to no avail. Luckily Mike Micenheimer saved cassette mix-downs of some of the group's songs from those sessions. 'A Step Ahead' is the the 9th Creation's lost album. 8 unreleased songs of pure soul, funk, disco and boogie.

We are proud to present this lost album for the first time. The ultra talented Jacob Arnold also wrote the complete story of the band that we are presenting with never seen before pictures.

Finally the CD version includes bonus tracks from the Love Crime 12', the Mellow Music 7' and 3 previously unreleased (rough) demos.

(Because of the source of these recordings, please know that (sadly) some of the songs have drops in stereo and are not 100% audio quality.)

To complete the package Laurence Guy puts his spin on the title track.

FINA co-owner Corbi makes his long-awaited debut on the label with three tracks of his playful, inventive house
sounds. He has made a notable impact in just a couple of years, with EPs and edgy, in demand edits on The
Bricks, Music For Freaks and Morris Audio.

Opener 'Samurai' continues in that rich vein, with seven sublime minutes of dreamy house. It's awash with
gorgeous chords and vocals, adding to the escapist effects of a truly lush track. The smooth 'Access Serenity'
slows things down, with loose drum tumbles, summery and Balearic string sounds and exotic, tropical percussion
that take you direct to the beach. Last of all, 'Warp' with J33 reworks a cult classic with driving, elastic drums and
bass and the original's deadpan vocal style. Add in curious whistles and the whole perfectly off-balance groove is
sure to get big reactions.

After a spell on the disco sidelines, Dublin label Fatty Fatty Phonographics are back with the 2nd instalment of their 'International Disco Mafia' series.

Extending its reach around Ireland and then again over the sea to Italy, it begins with a 13 minute disco trip by a young man called The Crown Prince of Waterford, with the wirey Catholic white boy spirit of Walter Gibbons in his veins.
The immortally titled 'Getting Fingered On The Waltzers' is overloaded with fizzing disco-rock dynamics, crazy organs and driving endless drum breaks that keep on pushing you all the way to an inevitable, gushing disco climax. Phew!

On the flip we have another Irish up and comer, Island Times, and his chunky disco driver 'Together'.
Just like his debut on the first volume, this one comes up trumps with a big, drum driven sound and a loose, live feel.

Last but not least, we're travelling up along the Adriatic from Trieste with Umberto Lumber, who takes a classic slow jam and pitches it down Baldelli style to a sweet cosmic sludge.
Perfect as a mood setter or as a spaced out bump and grind to finish the night off, it rounds off this 3 tracker in some style...

Renowned edit maestro Jacques Renault tackles a certified 80's classic, tweaking and extending in all the right places for maximum dancefloor destruction!

Highlife are happy to welcome Salon des Amateurs regulars, Mekine U Teksi into the fold for some Kurdish hypnotism. Such a great uplifting bounce going on with these!
