In this oversharing era, uncommon is for an artist to choose to remain in total anonymity. Even for the Easytiiger teamwork, the real persona behind the Model Nice act is still a complete mistery - actually not a problem when the sound speaks for itself. The debut EP 'Nice To Meet You' arrives with four raw dance burner gems, including a futuristic arp killer remix from the lemon-fanta guy, Pépe, for the song 'Cravo Amargo'.Besides the rough-shaped aspect of the sound, this EP reveals a very sharp and sophisticated production, with complex element layer works that could perfectly fit as the soundtrack for a Blade Runner microcosm built inside of a night club. 'Nice To Meet You' invites you to this journey through a particular soothing world, surrounded by a complex & confessional mood without saying... well, a single word.

Baptiste Letertre is Ringard and comes from Rennes, Britanny's biggest city with a strong electronic music culture. Ringard has a label called Dance Around 88 because he was born in 1988. Ringard released 8 vinyl records. "Lacrima Rossa" is his first 12" outside his own label so it's a great pleasure for us to have him on board. Ringard music is deep but raw, woolly, melancholic yet emotional. Think soulful techno, steamroom slo-mo, warehouse heat and euphoric minimal. Morphine electronics at its best with amazing strings and killer frequencies like Lobster Theremin meeting Boards Of Canada in a fantasy balearic island. In french, Ringard means tacky or outdated. It has never sound so cool being Ringard!

Ray Kandinski alter ego Barry Helafonte with a slice of joyous, retro-leaning house and downbeat discoid productions !

Neil Landstrumm , UK shapeshifter extraordinaire , returns to Germany with a new 12" ep appropriately entitled ' Munich 72' for Snork Enterprises. If you've hung around the electronic scene for long enough his dashing figure will have crossed your path at some point. Google him if you can be arsed finding out what he's done in the past 17 years. He's spent the last 5
years recording 3 x LP's for Planet Mu records in the UK which has tickled a few bass leeches in their rave caves. He also spent last weekend at the Belgian Grand Prix eating mayonnaise and watching fast cars. Munich 72 had the best design aesthetic of any olympics but unfortunately the worst massacre. The tracks on this ep are the usual mad styles referencing UK garage with Bass Clef,Chi town footwork, glamourous peacefrog reprisals and generally stuff you wont understand. Please try. Playing live @ Fusion festival in Germany summer 2011 was a highlight and showcased the currrent Landstrumm sound much to the pleasure of the excellent crowd. Top Breakers...

From the darkest corners of the RCA vaults we bring you this super rare and wonderful, tripped out cosmic-psych rarity on 45!
From 1977 this double-header is an Eastern themed, moog driven oddity from the mysteriously monikered Kamel Oil Company. Written by the legendary Bob Azzam, Eddie Barclay (founder of Barclay Records) & Greek record company owner Antoine Flamaritis, 'Mustapha' is an exotica soaked orchestral monster with choir vocals and string arrangements that only the big boys could call in. This is a serious left-field nugget from the vaults of one of the biggest majors, one ends up thinking - 'how did this come about!'. On the flip-side we have 'Petrolo En Bruto', which is the real gem here, undoubtedly this one will appeal to fans of the far flung reaches of world music and psych, even those of you who dig the various flavours of Funk from around the globe. A truly special and unique record here, often sought after by the deepest of the crate diggers and obscure sound searchers on a promo 45, this rare EP now sees a fully legit reissue. Made in conjunction with Above Board distribution and RCA this reissue is sourced from their vaults using original materials and remastered and repressed to the highest standard for 2018 and featuring all original 1977 RCA label artwork.

Born in Baleveng, Cameroon in 1952, Momo Joseph is known more for his endeavours in acting than for his musical output, having appeared in numerous French films between 1977 and 2000, including 'L'Africain' (1983) and 'La Haine' (1995). However, his single 'Love Africa Soul', originally released in 1980, is acknowledged by many as an outstanding piece of relentless West African disco, and has recently become highly sought-after by collectors and DJs alike. Momo has lived most of his life in Paris, however has always retained a strong connection to his native Cameroon and to other fellow Cameroonian musicians such as Tala A.M. and Manu Dibango. Here we pair the original 'Love Africa Soul' with an on-point afro disco re-work of the original B side, 'Cameroun Airline', courtesy of Mukatsuku's very own Nik Weston. We hope that this much-deserved re-release helps to shine a light on Momo's career and musical genius.

Rudy returns to Faze Action Records with an all-new collection of atmospheric and evocative tropical sounds. Last August saw the release of the By Nature EP that encapsulated the steamy and exotic textures of the Balearic sound.
This time, Midnight Safari takes up where on the beaches of Formentera, where the last EP left us. This time setting sail on a Midnight Safari with Marimba's and chugging rhythms underpinning sophisticated Piano' melodies. Following this we drop anchor and appreciate the evening breeze of In The Air with its haunting 'Cello, endless drifting arpeggio's and tropical percussion with a hint of North Africa. Reach Backless points the way squarely to the dance floor with chunky drums and synth bass, synth hooks galore and that piano solo that launches into starry evening skies. It's back down to earth with the settled quiet bass guitar harmonics of Windchimes before heading into the more soulful and synth melodic territory of Solar Plex.

5 anti-utopian trax from Automatic Tasty focusing on themes of mass surveillance, false flags, state secrets and propaganda.

Osmose and Thoma Cher present 4 disco house jams that will work the floor from Hotlanta to Shanghai. Each song arranged for peak hour vibes!

After the instant sold-out of their first 12', Light Touches Records is back with three new hot tunes: 'Get Up!' is a midtempo intense stomp with extended acidic guitar solo, a well tested secret weapon to make your dancefloor sweat.On B side 'Let's Do It' delivers an uptempo disco number with uplifting vocals and arrangements. Closing the B side, 'Around' is a moody soulful tune that morphs into a relentless hypnotic groove in the second part. For the most demanding djs out there.All tracks have been carefully edited without overdubs, in order to bring the spirit of classic disco manipulators to today's dancefloors!Light Touches Records is devoted to shed a new light to hot rarities, unknown grooves as well as forgotten classics.

For years Nathan Church has been cutting up floors in his native Bilbao. Recently the Basque man's attention has turned from the Dj booth to the studio. Under his WLDV (We Love Dolce Vita) this Iberian electronic inspiration has cast long shadows and brightened rooms with his blend of horror score intensity and disco exuberance. WLDV arrives at the Bordello with a four tracker of serious intent. Sepulchral and sinister synthlines characterise A Dying Feast, nowhere more than in the haunting samples and clean drums of 'A Bucket of Blood'. Cold chords gleam with icy menace while crisp claps punctuate the entrancing funk of 'Danza Macabra'. Ecclesia toys with set parameters, exploring what lurks in the twilight between terror and titillation. This flirtation with the divine and the profane is plain to hear in the uneasy elegance and uplifting elation of 'Far, Far Away', a work of steady kicks, unsettling extracts and soaring strings. This 'feast' ends on a delectable note. Keys dance and spiral in the intoxicating 'Laying Down On Cosmic Dust', an enthralling end to and enthralling EP

For the label's 50th release, Emotional Rescue returns to the music of Woo to close a trilogy of reissue collaboration albums, in A La Luna. Following Whichever Way You Are Going (1982) and Into The Heart Of Love (1990), their opus A La Luna (1991) was the last of the bands song based albums and represents a wonderful way to close this association.

Reworked, re-ordered and remastered especially for this first time vinyl release, brothers Mark and Clive Ives again present their unique, ground-breaking and at the time, heart-wrenchingly overlooked music, that seems to fit the folk-new age-electronics of today as well, if not better, than when first released.

Across 20 plus songs Mark's guitar, clarinet and vocals are as ever drenched in Clive's mixing desk mastery. Echo and reverb shimmer as the short pieces rise and fall like the wind blowing across nighttime trees. With no song going much beyond three minutes, A La Luna flows as one piece. The unmistaken sound of Woo wraps itself around you in an essence, warmth and glow that is addictive, meditative and uplifting.

Featuring the original vocal performance of Mark's love ode, Magic In The Dark stands as a centerpiece where, as with all their albums, vocals appear at a minimum, as part of the musical journey.

The underlying somber nature of the album comes as the band ended more than a decade of recording with little critical or commercial success. The fact they did not release a full album again and moved towards a more meditation outlook was a loss, however, their recent rediscovery and the excellent releases by Drag City and Palto Flats included, has finally given the Ive's brothers not just a place in appreciation, but has shown that there really is no one like Woo. Enjoy the magic.

Kalabrese sagt: Hört sich wie ein versteckter Talking Heads Track an!' Ja, irgendwie schon. 80er Leftfield Pop mit der Nuance einer modernen Disco-Produktion und einer dafür großartigen Auswahl an Remixern: The Juan Maclean, Daniele Baldelli & DJ Rocca, Michael Reinboth - die wissen, wie man so einen Track schmooven lässt.

It was May 2017 when Earthboogie's debut release dropped on Leng. The soundsystem-loving East London duo rightly won praise for a fne EP that brilliantly joined the dots between all things intergalactic, terrestrial and tribal.
Having spent the last ten months recording their adventures, Izaak Gray and Nicola Robinson return with Silken Moon', the frst single from their forthcoming debut album, Human Call.
In typical fashion, Silken Moon' cannily combines musical elements from a myriad of styles - most notably Afro-disco, samba and mid-tempo Chicago house - to create a humid hybrid that defes easy categorization. There are bouncy organ riffs, undulating acid lines, clipped Afro-funk guitars, tons of tropical percussion and the chanted, carnival-friendly vocalizations of guest singer Nina Miranda.
The release comes backed with remixes from two members of the extended
Leng family: long-serving producer Felix Dickinson and Turkish rising star Ali Kuru. Dickinson sticks close to the original of Silken Moon' with a mix built around gently jacking machine drums and Earthboogie's sweaty guitar licks while Kuru takes Human Call' in an altogether more cosmic direction. Pushing the track's psychedelic TB-303 lines and tropical textures to the fore whilst
adding his own mind-altering electronics - most notably a fat new synth bassline - Kuru cleverly re-casts the track as a pulsating, late night throb-job.

Laesh another newcomer to Roots For Bloom delivers a club ready three tracker with ripples of early sneak influences and robsoul-ish vibes. All three run on a similar tip relying on samples fresh and more well known alike but all three will do the job on the floors.

repressed !

The SHAG Edits return on Roots For Bloom with volume 5. label boss Jamie Trench starts things off with "Where The Party At" which reaches in to a hip hop flavour with that 90s sample feel. Reece Johnson rounds off the A side with a disco style cut that will bring the boogie to any floor. The B side sees the label welcome more newcomers in Bristol's J.Morrison and the mysterious G.Markus. Brown Eyes sees that 70s style funk brought to the table and BING! is a more house affair with a rolling feel to it.

great 3x12" !

Sterns Edits is a new collaboration between legendary African & Brazilian label and distributor Sterns Music and London producer and label owner Ben Gomori.

Sterns Music began life as pop-up style record shop housed in the back room of an electrical shop near Warren Street and grew to become the second biggest distributor of music from Africa outside of the continent itself. Over the years they released and distributed hundreds of artists, including household names like Salif Keita, Youssou N'Dour, Baaba Maal, Oumou Dioubate and Orchestre Baobab, building a comprehensive catalogue of music from across the region that spans some six decades. Now located inside a former bank vault underneath Warren Street station, they continue to work with a plethora of African labels, in some cases transferring master tapes to make them available digitally for the first time.

Gomori stumbled across this treasure trove of material when he discovered contemporary Gambian-born, Danish-residing singer and kora player Dawd Jobarteh's propulsive 'Sama Kebbalu' and decided he wanted to create an edit of it for his sets. He decided to see if he could license the track to make for an official release on his label Monologues Records, but soon recognised the bigger opportunity: "I was blown away when I met Robert from Sterns for the first time and he took me down into his vault. Original master reels stuffed into banana boxes, decades of vinyl, cassette tape and CD releases... history everywhere you looked. After exploring their vast catalogue and talking to Robert more, I felt like something could be done to bring some of their music and history into a new context and introduce it to new generations in the process."

Each Sterns Edits release will see Gomori - who has created dozens of much-loved edits of the likes of Marvin Gaye, Leonard Cohen, Sampha and DJ Shadow over the years - rework two tracks from the vast Sterns catalogue, melding these various styles of African music with his own house grooves to make for dancefloor ready weapons.

The intricate kora playing of Dawda Jobarteh makes for a mesmeric trip on this debut release, with 'Sama Kebbalu' ('tomorrow's elders') given a peak-time workout that makes fine use of the rousing, chanted chorus and rolling rhythm, and 'Bright Sky Over Monrovia' cut into a dub that focuses on the stunning finger-picking and passes it through heady delays.(A) A1. Sama Kebbalu (Ben Gomori's Lead By Example Edit)

Very cool ep from Skatebard on Vivod ! A mixed bag from the prolific Norwegian producer showing us why he's still at the top of his game. Maskindans kicks things off with some speak & spell funk followed by Hissige Helger, a brooding Chicago style banger sure to tear up some discoteques across the planet.
On the flip are Langbolgen and Gloymde Skogar. The former is an acid style work out, the latter is more of a subtle, hypnotyizing opus. All very strong tracks. Don't sleep on this. They will go fast !

The debut 12" from the Chicago "Edit King" TIM ZAWADA, full of renegade reworks, loaded with tasteful, eclectic tune selections. Straddling house & disco while steering clear of "disco-house". 4 killer tracks: "SPINN", "SEND", "WANNA" and "GO DE". Ultra limited, hand stamped and numbered.

Having never received a full release in the USA (or any release at all in the UK), the 1979 US promo 12" (7:01 mins) of "Shining" by Venus Dodson continues to fetch considerable sums from collectors in 2017. The track was a staple Paradise Garage banger and is surely one of the finest Leroy Burgess penned tracks to come from the peak years of disco. In the interests of restoring some historical balance, Kinfine now present a remastered, limited press, replica 12". Cut with love at 45rpm to ensure a higher audio resolution (than the hard-to-find original).

Italy's finest disco editor in chief, Mr Moplen is back with a new release on GAMM.This time around we get a slice of Philly disco with those heavy Harold Melvin vocals we all love, Moplen really got this one working if you ask us at GAMM headquarters.
On the flip we go down an alternative route and get served an afro fuelled pop/disco jam from that notorious group known as Talking Heads...proper! Enjoy the dance !

Following on from the runaway success of Le-Edits number 1, Dimitri eases us into 2018 with style and grace by presenting us with another fine set of reworkings from deep within the vaults. In this era of cheap and nasty bootlegs, badly looped breakdowns and bedroom producers butchering the classics with no soul or quality control it was time for a change, an antidote. Le-Edits is exactly that, a platform for Dimitri to express his appreciation of this most influential musical artform in the best way possible - utilising the master tapes, pressing onto virgin vinyl, taking extra care with the label aesthetics and everything else in-between. What you hold in your hands is a labour of love, a journey! Once the needle hits the groove and you're immersed in the music it will all make sense, you will feel the force of the 'chic in the music'!
Firstly we find ourselves in the company of the legendary Phyllis Hyman, an artist whose stellar career saw her perform with artists like Norman Connors, Jon Lucien, Pharoah Sanders and the fatback Band among others. 'You know how to love me' is perhaps one of Hyman's best known tracks and is taken from her successful 1979 debut LP of the same title. A swirling, floating groove produced by the criminally underrated powerhouse production duo of James Mtume and Reggie Lucas 'You know...' is a wondrous slice of Disco-Soul, mellow in some respects but in the right hands also a dance-floor roof raiser. Dim's 'Super Disco Blend' version of this classy and elegant cut respectfully touches the arrangement up in all the right places, teasing us into the groove with a wonderfully percussive and vocal led intro before giving us the full funk of the strings, the rhythm section and the simply flawless arrangements and production. This is pure soulful bliss and brings new life and dynamism to an already classic record. This is how it should be done!
On the flip side of this beautifully presented piece of wax is another underground aficionado's choice, the slick 1981 sounds of the incomparable Keni Burke's 'Let Someone Love You'. Again, working from the RCA original master tapes and studying Philly legend Joe Tarsia and NYC master mixer David Todd's studio session Dimitri has blessed us with a brand new version of this popular jam. This mix is an absolute joy for the DJ's with the drums upfront and Keni's adlibs leading us into that monumental piano break and off we go! A truly uplifting piece of music, 'Let Someone...' is a surefire winner. Again, in keeping with the Le-Edits ethos, this new mix has been created with the full understanding of this music and most importantly with love and passion. Fans of both Phyllis Hyman and Keni Burke's work will undoubtedly fall in love with these spectacular mixes and make them their own. Essential for all Disco lovers.
Le Edit is off to a fantastic start and as expected, Dimitri has many more incredible mixes and edits hidden up his finely tailored sleeve. Join us on the dancefloor as we elevate the art of remix and present new visions of dance classics from the past - DFP style!

Especial Specials and DEEK Recordings return with the second vinyl sampler of the Covered In Gloria album. As before, DEEK's Bullion pulls together the label's alumni and homies, a gamut of talent and styles feature, from Suzanne Kraft, Minor Science, Sultan Shakes, Eyedress and Geller & Kaya.

Diego Herrera's Suzanne Kraft alter ego has become a cause celebre of the ambient revival of the last few years. However, his early releases and remixes show a talent for beats as well as atmospherics. His cover of Andreas Dorau's Nordsee is all that, taking the Die Doraus Und Die Marinas original's whimsy production to embrace Krautrock motorik rhythms and warm vocal tones.

Accompanying this is a heartfelt version of Blue Niles' classic Heatwave. Appearing on their beautiful debut Walk Across The Rooftops, doing the song justice is a challenge. However, Minor Science rework the Japanese fused original with a respectful retake, with plink-plonk percussion and delicate vocals giving a perfect restraint alongside a touch of modern minimalism.

Starting the final side is the most club friendly cover from the tassle-haired newcomer, Sultan Shakes. After turning heads with his debut Interstellar Love, he returns by paying respect to A Guy Called Gerald's anthem via a twisted, electro-psychedelic reversion for the dance.

A left turn follows from Manilla's Eyedress with his exploratory acoustic love ode, Girls. The perfect counter song taking the Beastie Boys' original to surf's up, obscure lo-fi wanderings, fitting exactly what Covered In Gloria is all about. Respect, with a smile.

To finale is Geller & Kaya. Having appeared on DEEK's previous covers opus, Extraordinary Renditions, their pop-reggae homage to Wham's ubiquitous Rap is put through the echo chamber by respective label heads & cohorts (Bullion and Chuggy) for a cod'n'chips tinged Dub rewiring, where mixing desk becomes instrument and points to possible collaborations to come. Do you enjoy what you do...

Having witnessed the utter devastation this causes on the floor, we embarked on no small amount of arm twisting, negotiation and downright begging to secure a release.
This absolute monster was destined to remain in a certain acclaimed DJ/Producer's private collection.
Now available on a super limited pressing!!!!!!!!!

Part 1 of the superb Diggin Disco Deep #2 comes back as a Heavyweight 180 G White Vinyl

Mosaique turn to the learned ears of Mick Wills to fill out their third release with a pair of exclusive edits that align with the German DJs distinctive take on deviant dance music. On the A side Wills edits "Ultimatum" by Russian industrial wayfarer DMT, a track dripping with sinister synth tones and rasping, brittle drums that sound great looped up across a whole side of vinyl. On the flip Wills takes the knife to "Flexion" by Jasss, the emergent Spanish artist whose wide ranging style encompasses coldwave, acid and more besides. The emotive synth strains of this track strain against the harsh, distorted drums to great effect, all filtered through that Mick Wills vision of what makes great, dark, sleazy dance music.

'Love Injection' is the latest instalment from Glitterbox Recordings, the one and only 21st century disco. Selected by label boss Simon Dunmore, the eight-track double 12' package showcases the finest producers making disco and dancefloor-ready house cuts in the here and now. Rapson, Reverendos Of Soul, BB Boogie, David Harness and Sísý Ey make up some of the contemporary contingent proving that the disco spirit is alive and well. Simon has also included respectful nods to the golden-era voices of Gwen Guthrie and CeCe Rogers.

'Love Injection' sets the disco standard while diving into contemporary dancefloor fillers. A brand new cut for the compilation, Rapson's 'Heat' is one of the standout tracks of the last six months. The Disclosure-esque house favourite has been remixed by OPOLOPO, transforming it into a fine disco cut. A compilation exclusive, Sísý Ey 'Restless' is a glittering highlight, given a thumping 4/4 injection from the Crazy P crew.

One of the classic inclusions is Gwen Guthrie 'It Should Have Been You', a garage staple perfected by Larry Levan. Rounding off the timeless moments on side C is 'It Must Be Love' by Alton McClain & Destiny, produced by Northern Soul cult hero Frank Wilson. Simon discovered this gem when it was played by Horse Meat Disco; a memorable Glitterbox moment captured in style on 'Love Injection'. Another song broken in on the decks at a Glitterbox party, Simon first heard the sound of David Harness 'We Got It' when it was played by Louie Vega in London. The simple and hypnotic groove brings things bang up-to-date. Defining the true meaning of 'dance music' in 2018, 'Glitterbox - Love Injection' is here to move your body and your soul.

Emotional Rescue and Jamwax return to Capo Disco with the first official release of a holy grail Caribbean disco sound. Fully licensed and remastered, there is no now requirement for badly pressed rip offs. While little is known about The Crashers, all leads point to an incarnation of the revolving house' band of Glen Adams. As often the case, the floating nature of Jamaican born labels, rhythm sections naming and renaming to fit occasions was endless. Running out of his Brooklyn studio, the otherwise known Outerlimits, Capo & The Crew or even possibly Crashers, the swinging reggae meets funk grooves are apparent. Led from the desk by label owner, producer and writer, Glenroy Adams and co-created a 12' that covers bases in one release.

The Secret Squirrels continue to fiercely guard their reputation as one of the hottest edit imprints around by dropping two more seriously heavy reworks that are guaranteed to cause chaos and devastation in your discotheque.
These are no nonsense, quality re-flips that will do it for you over and over again on the dance floor.
Cut loud and ready for action. Episode 8 has landed!
