'In And Out Of Love' was released in 1983 on RAM Records. A tiny British label that ran between 1983 and 1985 with only 16 releases in its catalogue, half of which belong to UK Punks, The vibrators ('Baby, Baby' being their New York Dolls doing the Shangri-Las 1977 hit. I`ve no idea what they were doing in `84). A gated, growling, Electro-Funk, camp, sleazy sing along, created in a freak storm which crashed the Linn drum machine and blew up a TV. A track that could grind with Set The Tone`s 'Dance Sucker', Diggy Tal & The Numbers 'If It`s Love That You Want', and then 'Get A Little Love' from Angela. A track that as far as I know was gathering dust in countless bargain bins, lost, unappreciated, until Thomas Bullock used it as the finale to his Youtubed three-hour Just Jam master class in 2012. Post- Bullock all copies disappeared, a few resurfacing on the `Cogs this year for predictably silly prices.


'City Life' is one of the two releases on the Beau-Jolly label, dating from the following year. A handclapping, screaming, chase through breaking glass and slick `80s Pop videos. Uptown downtown. Red lipstick and white fur coats. Glamour, gangs, and boppers.

The exclusive artwork by Chris Wright of Turbo island illustrates the crazy 'In & Out' vagaries of love`s playground.

Paradise Row is a new record label put together by those fine connoisseurs of the art of the discotheque and the joy of the Gin & Tonic, Pete Herbert & Dicky Trisco.
Pitched as an antidote to Paris Hilton's DJing skills and endless questions concerning the origins and true meaning of 'deep house', this imprint is all about music, fun, dancing and late night breakfasts.

Inspired by genuine (yet bonkers) visionaries such as Laidbach, War, Yello and Kenny Everett, this dynamic DJ duo draw on years of joint musical experience from collecting records to setting up labels and running record shops, plus constant touring of the globe playing music that makes people dance, whoop and occasionally take their clothes off.

Add to that more than their fair share of afters, and you get a musical ideology that stands up firmly against the pile of whack that is generally available.

You could even be tempted to call it The Real Deal
However some would call it a load of samples with a kick drum underneath it. Call it what you will...
it will make you dance, smile and wish immediately for better times, the instantaneous suspension of tedium and a ban on the wearing of socks.

So jump on board and join them down Paradise Row where the future is not 'deep' or 'smart', but it may just involve some kind of wild dancing.

New label on the block, Special Edition, deliver two more quality cuts for the more discerning and eclectic DJs out there.
This time around Disco Deviant Dicky Trisco joins forces with in demand producer Peza to turn out two mighty jams.
Both cuts blend elements of Disco, Funk, Balearic and Acid in the mix.

So take the trip!

Disco boogie masterpiece from 1984 from the genius of Bernice Watkins.One of the rarest titles in the Salsoul catalogue now fully re mastered for 2015 and released in conjunction with Salsoul Records!

Unstoppable youngster Innershades comes with a new limited four tracker on the Pinkman imprint! The Belgium based talent shows he's definitely not a one trick pony and continues to explore his sound even further. This time by releasing two phat old school electro inspired bangers, and two synthesizer (nu)disco tracks which already proved to be fully effective on the floor!

REEL PEOPLE MUSIC are delighted to welcome back US Soulstress, CHOKLATE with her funked up single, WIDE OPEN.
As an extra special treat we're also excited to feature the Original & Opolopo remixes of 'The Tea' for the first time on vinyl - the original hit that brought Choklate to the forefront of the Soulful scene, an amazing 5 years ago!

Fur Coat explore the power of thought in their first album for Crosstown Rebels 'Mind Over Matter' after a steep climb into mainstream consciousness.Fur Coat are about that space where darkness meets the groove. Their combination of live vocals and psychedelic synths create dance floor magic. The Venezuelan duo was spotted by Crosstown Rebels head Damian Lazarus little more than eight months ago, and they have since been on lockdown to complete their first studio album.Bringing together some supreme guest vocalists such as Mel Blatt of All Saints fame, the young NYC star Rap Lisa, Big Bully known for his previous work with Jay Haze, Cari Golden, Argenis Brito and Stee Downes of Lovebirds chart fame, the result is primed for taking charge of the dancefloor at the end of 2012.
Fur Coat is the brainchild of Sergio Muñoz (Delete) and Israel Sunshine, two fresh producers from Venezuela. Their first single 'Space Ballad' feat. Argenis Brito featured a huge remix by Totally Extinct Enormous Dinosaurs and kept all eyes firmly focused on the duo. Combined with the omnipresence of Latin music growing up, a formative cocktail of Giorgio Moroder, Larry Levan and La Fania All Stars and Salsa Brava led to a vibrant musical philiosophy and powerful desire to work their magic on the dancefloor.

Another killer, rare Disco offering from deep within the legendary West End Records vaults. Released in 1976 and mixed by the mighty Tom Moulton, this split 12" is one of the labels earliest releases and features two sumptuous, epic cuts from the initial wave of Disco 12"s.

Both tracks featured heavily on the play-lists of various cult NYC Disco jocks, including Larry Levan, David Mancuso and many more. Jakki's "You Are The Star" is a deep, funky journey for the dancers, while on the flip side, the Vince Montana Jr. produced instrumental version of Sounds Of Inner City's "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman" (A Disco ode to the cult 70's soap opera star) features.

A long sought after 12" by Disco fans for many years, this release has fetched top collectors prices on-line in the past. Now it has been made available again, re-mastered, re-pressed and re-released in conjunction with West End Records and featuring all original label artwork.

Keeping the Love alive, the fifth release on Eddie C's cult Red Motorbike imprint is another big sound on a small format

The A&R Edits return with a double-header from Hot Digits head honcho Fingerman.
The Brighton producer grew up listening to his parents enviable Steely Dan record collection and for his comeback outing on A&R has retouched the De La Soul-sampled classic, Peg. A tight circle of DJs have road tested this rework over recent times and we've been inundated with requests for its release.
In 1970, New York session drummer Bill Curtis merged the fatback jazz beat of New Orleans into a street funk band and signed his outfit to Perception Records.
Over the next decade, they incorporated jazz and disco into their signature funk style, before moving in an R&B direction in the '80s. During this period, American pop success proved elusive, but the group made regular appearances in the UK Singles Chart, hitting the Top Twenty three times with (Are You Ready) Do The Bus Stop', (Do The) Spanish Hustle' and I Found Lovin It's the latter, an anthem on the UK black music scene in 1984, that has been served up here by Fingerman, a staple at his Casablanca Jazz Club residency in Brighton and now available on wax for the first time.

Red Rack'em is a name well known to WOLF fans as he launched the first WOLF White release with his deep house classic 'In Love Again'. He is a master at reworking dusty grooves into peaking house bangers.
That is the best way to describe this EP too. 'Do or Die' is a straight up peak of the night disco jam.
Big sample, big bass, big track. 'Ooh Ooh Ooh' leans on the soulful side of his sample selections and its wonky but funky composition never fails to turn heads. The final track 'Live At Music Hall' is straight up DEEP. So, something for everyone, no messing.

Limited Edition of 150 Cassettes curated by Amila & Aurelien for Altered Soul Experiment.
Recorded live by Enrico Crivellaro aka Volcov in Verona, 2015.
Artwork by Sidney Reilly & photography by Mehdi Lacoste.
Duplicated in Canada on high fidelity Chrome Plus tape.

Blending the sonic warmth with the visual nostalgia of cassette tapes, Altered Soul Experiment aims to use the medium of mix tapes to reflect the personal touch and inspiration from the music industry's early years.

Limited to 150 units per release, each artist chosen will be able to express their musical experiments via a 90 minute mix allowing a personal at-home listening experience. Furthermore the tapes will provide the avid listener a chance to search for specific tracks within each mix, translating into a unique exploratory experience.

The series starts with a warm, soul-infused mix by Volcov, which proves to be an excellent selector of boogie and soul. The mix provides a one and a half hour experience that contains a distinct narrative.

Scattered chatty voices and dancefloor-boogie move to a calm funky swish before resulting in sweet melodies that are sprinkled with emotionally charged lyrics. The mix ranges from The Controller's classic "Stay" to Hi-Tension, where David Joseph's vocals embrace you with every single "Girl I Betcha", to bangers such as the Cargo Feat. Dave Collins "Holding On For Love". All in all, it is reflecting a warm, groovey journey through time and rhythms, creating a powerful body of songs drawn in liquid smooth shapes.

Ben Sun returns for his third Delusions Of Grandeur release with this solid slice of raw, old school house entitled Tricks On Wax. The London-based producer has been on fine form recently, slowly but surely becoming a name to watch and joining the pool of amazing talent coming out of Australia at the moment. As the boss man of the vinyl-only label Voyeurhythm Ben has had a string of underground gems but isn't adverse to spreading his wings and knocking out originals and remixes for the likes of Quintessentials and Royal Oak.

Here on Tricks On Wax we find Ben in full on party mode, the lead track being a stomping Chicago-inspired cut taking a classic formula but cranking the heat up until it's sweat-dripping-off-the-walls time. For those with an aversion to saxophone in house music, get your listening gear round this lot and tell us this doesn't put a smile on your face. Flip over for Seven Sisters, a brilliant synth-heavy tribute to the early days of NYC house when the likes of Pal Joey, Jovonn and the Burrell Brothers ruled the dancefloors. Finally we have Special For You, which sees Ben drop the BPM's for a mid- tempo freestyle jam, heavy on the samples but still managing to inject the track with his own sound and coming up trumps in the process.

special double pack for all you

Top quality remastered reissue on the original highly collectable US Fire-Sign Records from super funky Frenchman Francois Feldman aka FF Yellowhand. Both tracks on this in-demand 1981 boogie funk double hitter are pure dancefloor dynamite. Side A has the long mix of 'You Want Every Night', a party starting disco boogie dancer with an infectious funky groove, lush strings and a great English / French vocal. 'Can You Feel It' on the flip keeps up the pressure with more blistering upbeat percussive funk. Killer!

Another classic from the West End archives! Forrrce's "Keep On Dancin" from 1982 was a huge record across the board from Bronx block parties to the Paradise Garage in NYC and DJ Harvey's "Moist" nights in London town, it's popularity was bolstered by a fierce Francois K dub mix on the B-side that stripped the record right back to it's most basic elements with a healthy dose of reverb assisted psychedelia thrown in for good measure! This killer cowbell led Boogie jam has always been a big hit with Disco freaks and continues to sound fresh some 30+ years later even making it's way into veteran UK DJ and music historian Sean P's "100 Boogie Essentials 1980-1984" list. High praise indeed!

Re-mastered from original tape transfers, re-pressed and made available again for 2015 in conjunction with West End Records, New York City.

Boogiefuturo presents another essential edits disc, ransacking the record boxes for those trippy disco oddities, crucial boogie joints and new-wave gems, to be given the once over by a trusted master of ceremonies.
Justin Van Der Volgen has always delivered the goods, be it his edit work for labels like Golf Channel or Eric Duncan's Keep It Cheap label, or his truly special DJ sets, and on BF005, the Brooklyn based maestro gets suitably hallucinatory with his brace of edits here.
Two vocal cuts, steeped in that decadent 80s production flair and bombastic groove, grandiose songs for heroes, saints & sinners, edited with love by one of the scene's most respected aficionados.

Long Weekend Records is back with a 4 track deep disco sampler. The A side features two groovy cuts from up-and-coming French artists: Closed
Paradise from Palavas in the South of France with releases on Fools and Fables Recordings, Young Adults and Apersonal Music, and Journey Reverse, making their debut.

Veterans Volta Cab from Ukraine now residing in St. Petersburg, with a prolific catalogue on many labels including Voyeurhythm, What's In The Box and Seven Music, plus Replika, a deep house producer from Switzerland with releases on Seven Music, Deso, Ubertramp and Kolour. bring the atmosphere on the B.

Supafrico unearths another superb collection of impossible to find Afro Disco rarities. South Africa's legendary songstress Margaret Singana is up first with her indemand cover of the Stretch classic 'Why Did You Do It', a super-funky take on an already great song, previously only available on her 1977 'Tribal Fence' LP. Next up is 'Boogie Trip' by Nigerian Doris Ebong, an uber-rare Afro boogie bomb, high on many a collectors' wants list. The flip side features another couple of excellent cover versions, Sweet Talks' party-starting Afro disco version of Andy Gibb's hit 'Shadow Dancing' and the highly sought-after 'Disco Push' from late Seventies South African band The Movers - a great floor filling take on Marvin Gaye's 'Got To Give It Up'. Quality stuff!

Since launching in early 2014, the Hong Kong-based Homesick series - an offshoot of Cliche Records - has provided disco DJs with some of the strongest edits of recent times; reverential but floor-friendly reworks that get the right balance between re-mastered original parts and house-friendly additional beats. This third volume comes from Borrowed Identity, a house producer whose edits and productions have appeared on an impressive list of labels. These four reworks are predictably tidy, soulful and groovy, with familiar disco and soul staples being given loose but heavy rearrangements. Picking highlights is tough given the high quality threshold, but we're particularly taken with the vibraphone-laden party shuffle of "Run Run Run" and low-slung Afro-disco strut of "You Can't Change A Man".

Arguably Sublime's most aggressive, jackin' and club orientated House release since he'd hit us with 'Tea For Two'..: RETURN OF THE BASEHEAD', The new EP by Amsterdam's finest: Kid Sublime...
Fans of early M.A.W, Mike Dunn and Moodyman releases will not be dissapointed..b-boy House with that Amsterdam twist!!

Seahawks and their pal Eddie C join forces on Red Motorbike Records to create an EP of dreamy innerspace travel music, lush blissed-out interstellar synth pad dreams for the weary space explorer, washing over your mind and body like a cool solar wind, as you take in the luxuriant beauty of the local galaxies.

Gentle, flowing keyboard melodies that disarm and relax, well crafted electronic rhythms, uplifted melodies and plenty of really nice saturated vibraphone.
This is music Carl Sagan would smoke weed to, music that swirls and flutters through the rays of light reflected by the sheen on this production.

Killer Afro business from Finland's Kojak Giant Sounds.

As ever limited copies and no repress (we mean it!!!)... these never hang around long!

Arguably, Dave Lee aka Joey Negro and his Z Records label are the contemporary go-to Disco label. And it was only a matter of time that Mr Lee would delve deep into his vinyl vaults and pull a selection of sound-alike tracks inspired by that late 70s Chic sound.
To date, Chic and their productions have notched-up sales of over 100,000,000, so with that in mind, it comes at no surprise that their music has inspired others to pick up the bass & lead guitar and emulate that groovy sound... and that 's exactly what this album is all about.
'Le Freak Music Inspired by Chic - Complied by Joey Negro' contains fourteen glorious Chic inspired cuts that groove like a Disco train straight from the 70s.
The Chic production sound must be one of the most distinctive in disco, soul, funk or pop music generally, a sound that was lent very successfully to Sister Sledge, Diana Ross, Debbie Harry and many more in the late 70s and early 80s heyday. The much-copied formula has been an inspiration to many producers old and new, most recently with the world dominating Daft Punk.
Joey Negro is one such producer who has been inspired by the production sound of Rodgers and Edwards over the years and, until now, there has not been a collection of tracks that were influenced by rather than produced by Chic.
There are many more artists out there that have drawn inspiration from this sound but this is Joey Negros personal selection of tracks that have the unmistakable groove including one from his own Sunburst Band project.
Nile Rodgers continues to tour the globe with his Chic live show as well as produce and make guest appearances on many hit records and he shows no sign of slowing down yet.

This is the second release of the 'Obscure Cuts' series, curated by Berlin's Oscillator party resident Beppe Loda. This EP sets us off on a magic carpet ride of Middle-Eastern-influenced Italian obscure disco gems from the 70's. This release is a great ambassador for the Oscillator parties from which the label originates. TIP!

Latest release of balearic wizardry from Magic Wand
