Fantastic new compilation from Sunkissed Records features four Balearic rarities from the great late 70's early 80's Dutch New Wave groovers Flash & The Pan all of which received heavy rotation at the original Ibiza parties. Kicks off with the full 12' version of one of DJ Alfredo's Amnesia anthems, the brilliant low slung 'Midnight Man' followed by the bass-driven slo-mo disco groove of 'Hole In The Middle' taken from their 1978 self titled debut LP. On the B-Side we get the hard to find disco mix of 'Waiting For A Train' a huge favourite of DJ Harvey who also featured the last track 'Walking In The Rain' on his critically acclaimed Summer Beach set mix from a few years back. Essential slices of Balearic history that still sound fresh today.

Magic Wand release another EP with 4 tracks of balearic inspired goodness from Coyote, Magellanic Cloud & Oyama.

Dropping ahead of the release of Tim Deluxe's new studio LP The Radicle, 'LOVE Is' is the next single taken from the album, presented here in its original form as well as an additional dub version. A jazz-fueled, bluesy masterpiece with a heart wrenching vocal , sublime live instrumentation and incredible production values, 'LOVE Is' demonstrates just how far Tim Deluxe has come as an artist, and is indicative of the quality of the album as a whole.

Some low down, dirty cosmic Boogie-Funk here from 1977 on Salsoul Records.

Destroyers were a one off project from NYC whose back catalog includes only these 2 super rare and sublime examples of down-tempo space Disco. Both cuts are the perfect late night soundtrack to getting down in the darkest corners of the club, perfectly produced, super funky and with solid relentless grooves that go on and on. "Lectric Love" is an unsung classic and "Slave Of Love" on the flip is also another late night piece of sleazy action in the same vein, a perfect 12" all round!

Carefully selected from Salsouls vaults, this record has always been in heavy demand and has fetched collectors prices on-line in the past, making it extremely collectible among Disco aficionados and thus very difficult to track down. This is the first time the record has been officially re-mastered and re-issued on 12" in conjunction with Salsoul Records since it's 1977 release.

UK jazz head Aroop Roy is back with his highly successful series of Brazil infected reworks.
Like on the previous volumes he sought out his fave tunes from Brazil and fine tuned them for your DJing pleasure. Its all very classy and well produced but most important, its very good dance music!

Following a run of impressive releases, Ed Wizard & Disco Double Dee drop two floor-filling reworks for the Disco Deviance imprint.
Both cuts are equally tracky and groovy. Lovingly edited and beautifully mastered, they are 100% guaranteed to make you wanna dance.

New Zealand based crate digger Frank Booker launches his new label, Down In The Basement, in typical understated yet highly classy fashion.
What you get is four top quality Booker jams that will grace any dance floor and which cross the boundaries of funk, disco, soul and house music.

Never one to over complicated things, FB cuts straight to the essentials of each track and rides them in the mix, while dropping his trademark DJ friendly FX.

Essential stuff as ever from The Man Called Booker.

Phil South's now universally celebrated label has continued to evolve and push the boundaries with a claasic and collectable series of cult releases
Now in their late teens, the label shows no sign of slowing down, or toeing the line !

Brand new excursion into eastern territories curated by Zambon of The Very Polish Cut-Outs and Transatlantyk fame.
Five obscure disco tracks from late Soviet era edited, reworked and remixed into dancefloor bliss by creme de la creme of Russian and Belarusian producers. Among the editors we will find Leonid Lipelis (known from collaborating with Brennan Green and his own label That's A Steal, here working under the alias Beard In Dust), Moscow based diggers crew Shiny Boots
Grodno based edit wunderkind Schmoltz, St. Petersburg's Krjuk and The Papers from Ekaterinburg. Tracks range from Balearic pop stomp of Alla Pugacheva's 'Kafe', through to the blue-eyed Slavic soul of Tatiana Kochergina, to big band funk full of breaks and even Russian disco rap with baby scratches !
Drink some vodka and taste the disco sound of the Soviet Union.

We could call them The Persuaders of disco: Jestofunk member Blade together with his friend Leo Tolu wanted to back to the Italo 80s old-school. The House Music sampling concept was strong and powerful element in all the JF related productions that Blade wanted to keep also for this much fresh release.
I Don't Wanna Be drive to a nostalgic Italo Disco melody with a much groovy step...
Enjoy the Summer... Enjoy Bella Vita!

Love On The Rocks returns to the floor, with their second EP in what will prove to be an exciting summer of releases. Following the success of the Massimiliano Pagliara produced debut, LOTR presents the world premiere of Ess O Ess - a new venture from London based producers Jamie Blanco and Chris Stoker. After a flying episode on the first LOTR release, 'Baboon' pushes us back to earth, to the filthy grounds of the muggy woodlands of the southern hemisphere. The jungle motif that leads the track from the beginning slowly fades into a mild breeze of a distinct guitar theme before shaman voices call the ghosts of his ancestors and completes the patina on this heavy Malaria infected summer jam. Portuguese musician and demanded producer Tiago uses the jungle setting to create a classic special agent disco movie scene in the exotic wild of the mid seventies, erotic adventures included. Finally, calming down from an after party in some sleazy hotel room, the Bad Passion team offer their own take - a Dub that detaches the bass guitar from the original offering the appropriate space to grow and delay. Now brush off your shoulders and start a fire - it's cool out there in the desert at night.

Wet Play invite you to take a dip into their aural bubble bath for a third soaking as they complete their 'Where Good Friends Meet' triptych on Red Laser Records. Inaugurating three new players into their much-loved steam room alongside long-serving patron, Metrodome.
Rest assured this is one wash closet you're sure to frequent again and again.

Benny Badge, long term friend and cohort of our Randall Marsh, twice removed Manc and modern funk extraordinaire dons his Freekwency cap and kicks things off with 'Streetboxx' - a loose and squelchy stroller / moocher dripping with Benny's flair for drum programming and goose-bump inducing melodies. Never untucked but rambunctiously grooving its way through Melbourne's sun-kissed, wide highways without a foamy dangler in sight.

Next, we jump into the Delorian and revisit 1983 as Glasgow's best kept secret, Tension provides possibly the most authentic slice of summertime soul you've heard since any of us here at Wet Play HQ were even born (Ruf Dug excused). Listen to that lyric - the guitars, niggling synth licks and perfectly executed tom rolls: fuck!
Timeless boogie!

Giving you all the smells and feelings of a thorough soaking Metrodome and Il Bosco flip the script and give you the other flavours of our sensual soiree on the flip.

'Xanthan Gum' instantly reeks of what is now the standard de rigueur from Metrodome - futureproof as a Swiss army knife, sound system ready to tickle the fuck outta the tweeters, subs & nether regions, while being blissfully catchy, radiant and groovy as hell.
The cats out of the bag on this guy. We know peops are after snapping up his art like a new Picasso. An increasingly busy body, wrist-deep in various projects including pounding out beats for Manchester's infamous Levelz crew - we're super buzzed that he's kept some stone cold gems like this one held back for his foster family / nursery group Wet Play :) Nice one champ.

Finally, if you didn't already know, none of these Wet Play records would happen without parent label Red Laser having faith in our unprofessional, haphazard yet highly spirited outfit. Matt and Woody, perhaps witnessing a mirror of their former years, saw the intoxicating and unique atmosphere at our club nights and got us into gear to release these records; so it's a double buzz when Woody sparks up his machines and gets all cybotronic on our arses under his Il Bosco guise.

Hitting perfectly that late-night, drugged-out moment of floating-in-a-timeless-vacuum bliss when the smoke and the strobe and the lasers hit maximum, and the dancefloor's united in a serotonin flooded synergy; his 'Mind Meld' dub of Kano's 'Another Life' instantly transports you to the centre of the dancefloor at our first adopted home, Kraak. Emotional, hedonistic times from whence intense relationships were made, fresh moments were etched into people's minds and happiness poured into the streets.

Sound obsession, a label run by producer and DJ Kirk Degiorgio and artist manager and lawyer Mark Melton, are reissuing for the first time in 40 years 3 rare and in-demand albums by legendary and pioneering French electronic composer Bernard Fevre. These are amazing considering how long ago they were released.

An electronic masterpiece full of moogs and analogue drum machines where Fèvre's deft touch with the synthesizer bring to life alien and eldritch scenes.

More spellbinding goodness from Magic Wand

Nu-disco heavy on the Hi-NRG, Italo disco, & Italo house influences. "The Fauxriental Jam" combines disco w/ new-wave attitude. "Disco Success" is co-written by Matt Katz-Bohen (Blondie), inspired by the San Fran-disco sound. Silk screen jacket.

Dinky delves further into her Chilean roots while softly embedding the rhythm of the night with next single 'Blind' from the album 'Dimension D'. Inspired by old Jazz of the 30s and 40s, Dinky weaves a beguiling story with the acoustic swing imbued with her own electronic touch. Stepping up for the first remix are part-time collaborators Hreno and The Mole who deliver the MHMD Remix stripping almost entirely the original's voice and melody, instead leading with a carnivalesque drum groove and frayed, oscillating synths. Scandinavian disco lord Prins Thomas keeps the melody in tact but encases it in a framework of spaceout spooky disco for his 'Diskomiks' and fantastic moody Dub.

Alejandra Del Pilar Iglesias Rivera was named Dinky by her sister at birth. Born and raised in Santiago, Chile, as a child she studied Ballet and the Suzuki method of piano before relocating to New York to become a contemporary dancer.

Her drive to make music brought her to Berlin a decade ago where she quickly became a dominant force in dance music, making her mark through releases on Carpark, Cocoon, Ostgut, and the critically acclaimed ´Anemik´ album in 2009 on Mathew Jonson´s Wagon Repair. Her fifth studio album, 'Dimension D' on Visionquest sees her evolve into singer-songwriter and performer and take on a new musical direction.

Chris Hreno and The Mole are both revered Canadian producers residing in Berlin who have joined forces in the past on remixes for various labels including Turbo Recordings, Haunt, and Souvenir. The Mole has had prolific solo output including his exceptional debut album on Wagon Repair 'As High As The Sky'. Hreno has made a recent comeback to production with EPs on Sound Architecture and Meander.

Prins Thomas is widely regarded as a pioneer of the space-disco sounds emanating from his native Norway. Joining forces with Hans-Peter Lindstrøm in 2003, the pair both have a background in bands - Prins being an accomplished bass player - and they run and release music on own labels Feedelity, Full Pupp and Internasjonal.

"Sources is a brand new series which will examine the output of a number of extremely influential independent U.S. labels throughout the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s.

Bill Brewster, co-founder of the influential DJ History website and forum and author of the acclaimed "Last Night A D.J. Saved My Life" will be compiling and writing the sleeve notes for the series. The first six releases will concentrate on 6 New York independent labels which have each been massively influential in the evolvement of Dance Music over the last 30+ years: Easy Street, Fresh, Sleeping Bag, Sam, Streetwise and P&P.

Each 3 x CD package will be full of lovingly re-mastered original 12" mixes as selected by Bill. These will include many tracks which have never made it to CD before and you can be sure that a variety of 'secret weapons' will emerge from each of these packages! All notes and scans will be included in a 16 page colour booklet which fits beautifully within the 3CD superior digipack. The usual Harmless PR and Radio operation will support all Sources releases.

The fifth Sources package comes from one of the most collectible Black Music labels of all-time the highly enigmatic and mysterious P&P Records. P&P Records was the company founded by Harlem based Peter Brown an operator of the highest degree in terms of productivity and the sheer amount of releases which came out on a bewildering array of labels like P&P, PAP, Land Of Hits, Heavenly Star, Golden Flamingo, Sound Of New York, Tyson, Sound Of The Universe, Hit Makers Of America, Lonnie, Clarence Music, Queen Constance and La Shawn amongst the ones which are known. Most of these releases were personally distributed by Peter Brown throughout Harlem and New York but most through the independent and 'Mom & Pop' stores which meant their distribution was limited and mainly within the New York area. Most P&P original releases are now highly collectible with many selling for several hundred pounds a copy, IF you can find one!

P&P Records is such an enigma that untangling the releases, different labels and year of release is an ongoing task. Some P&P Records have only recently been discovered, some P&P releases have never been found and there will be several P&P releases that have yet to be unearthed. As of 2015, there is no accurate listing and releases like 'Sources: The P&P Records Anthologies' are probably more like works in progress.

We divided the P&P catalogue that know about into two different packages 'Sources: The P&P Records Soul & Disco Anthology' and 'Sources: The P&P Records Funk & Rap Anthology' since the label spanned all these areas.

The P&P Records Soul & Disco volume probably contains over £5000 worth of records at their current value, since P&P is pretty much the most collectible group of labels for Soul and Disco output, or, 'Ghetto Disco' for short. Plus the mostly crude recordings and mastering techniques are now in fashion as people search for more 'earthly' natural records rather than the highly polished records from the era.

Having said this, 'Sources: The P&P Records Soul & Disco Anthology' has been extensively re-mastered so that these records can be heard properly for perhaps the first time. The collectors of P&P were right. The scope and diversity of P&P Records is testament to the hustling skills of Peter Brown perhaps the ultimate Harlem hustler. Who'd have thought that a scuffling set of badly-distributed Ghetto records from the 70s and 80s, would become the most collectible labels in the world some 40 years later P&P we salute you!

[aC] CD 1-3 | Rubin, (Alternative Mix) - Falko Niestolik & Madfish

This is a second selection of independent disco records featuring rare and classic tracks originally released in the USA between the halcyon years of 1977 and 1985.

This release features only the finest disco, modern soul and boogie and is compiled by Disco Patrick who last year put together the mighty 'Disco: An
Encyclopedic Guide To The Cover Art Of Disco Records' 400+ page deluxe book for Soul Jazz Records, as well as the first installment of 'Disco: A Fine Selection Of Independent Disco, Modern Soul And Boogie.'

Dark Entries is proud to release the sophomore EP from BEZIER entitled Telomeres. Bézier is the moniker of local SF musician ROBERT YANG, who also is part of the illustrious HONEY SOUNDSYSTEM crew. Telomeres is the follow up to Bézier's debut EP Ensconced, released in 2013. The title relates to themes of time, science, analytics and procedures. Bézier integrates the refrains of Spanish new wave and Italo disco with the attitude and aggression of underground styles like synth-punk and industrial. These six tracks were written, produced and mixed by Bézier at his home studio in San Francisco between 2014 and 2015, and feature the debut of his own vocals. All songs have been mixed by Mark Pistel (of Meat Beat Manifesto fame) at Room 5, San Francisco and EQed for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios. The vinyl comes housed in a jacket featuring an illustration by in-house designer Eloise Leigh riffing on early 80s computer graphics. The matted sleeve is meant to resemble the side panels of early computing instruments like Macintoshes or the Commodore 64. Each LP includes a postcard with a photograph of actual telomeres captured by a microscope camera by the Blackburn Lab at UCSF. Telomeres' are life's building blocks, changing the lengths of chromosomes to determine lifespan. This music is an investigation of a future in which time elongates as well as contracts.

FRESH MEAT'S LOVES OFFSHHOT SEE'S CHICAGO LEGEND LONO BRAZIL OF COTTAGE GROOVE FAME WITH A WICKED 3 TRACK EP.

Fresh from the success of the Guilty Pleasures EP by Satin Jackets & Ejeca, next up from the ever growing House of Disco Records is Finnebassen's - 'Baby' EP. Boasting make overs from Monitor 66, Ron Basejam and Debonair along with the original track itself, this is a vinyl with credentials that speak for themselves.

The EP opens with the original track 'Baby' from the Norwegian born producer Finnebassen. With previous releases titled 'Babies' 'Footsteps' and 'Bleedin out' I'm starting to wonder if there's some sort of subliminal message at work. However with the rate at which he's been outputting releases lately there are no signs that he has anything other than more music on the way. 'Baby' is not what we have become accustomed to expecting from Finnebassen, it strays away from his usual deep poignant echoing house tracks. Instead it's a rich funk filled gem of a track that he's shown he is capable of through his 'silly pilly edit' of It's gonna take a long time. With bluesy lead guitar riffs and his trademark bass line it's the perfect soundtrack for a blossoming summer season.

The first remix of the EP comes from Swedish trio Monitor 66 who produce under the ethos of creating ''music for sunsets.' The track certainly embodies that motif as gorgeous saxophone licks and chiming synths over a shifting bassline give it a deep tropical feel. Next up is the remix from James Baron, or as the anagram works and we know him as, Ron Basejam. His remix is more of a straight up boogie house track letting the echoing vocals do a lot of the work whilst being complimented by sprinkles of playful keys. The sliced vocals work a treat and he manages to maintain the tracks strong groove throughout. The final remix of the EP comes from London based artist Debonair who strips down the track into a deep atmospheric affair making it the perfect weapon of choice for an after hour set. Ominous kicks and the spades of tension and atmosphere will make sure that fists are pumping well into the early hours of the morning.

The whole EP is brimming with groove and if you find yourself missing Finnebassens deep echoing trademark sound from the original track then you can find essence of it in the remixes. This release speaks volumes for the trajectory of 'House of Disco Records' as a label that's constantly maturing and sidestepping pigeonholes.

The latest addition to the Muzic Box Classics series will feature a genuine Ron Hardy edit and another ole school track from the Music Box that was produced by a local producer known as Mr K Alexi. The Ron Hardy edit is very rare and has not been heard by many outside of the Music Box, Chicago. The B side is a track that includes a sample of Ron's first EP on Trax Records entitled "Sensation".

Tenderlonious' 22a label has put out the likes of Al Dobson Jr, Mo Kolours, Reginald Omas Mamode IV, Jeen Bassa and Henry Wu. After a split EP with Al Dobson Jr, this is his first full EP for his label. Over four tracks, spanning house, hip-hop and jazz. Tender plays flute, piano, sax, percussion, hardware and synths, all recorded in one-take live sessions. Support comes from Gilles Peterson, Osunlade, Paul White and more.
