Collecting Orders For A Repress!
Cleo & Patra are proud to sacrifice a 12~ to the egyptian queen and goddess of the Nile. An ode to Ancient Egypt, you'll hear it all.

Collecting Orders For A Repress!
Roulé Juchhé! The A-Side of Editainment's cutting-edge duo Det & Ari is not only a tribute to the mysterious Hungarian football genius, it also hails the compressed and chubby sound of French filters and Parisian playboys. Jump to it! 'Butt You' on the other side keeps its goal clear and tidy with a hard core marathon boogie beat that just builds and build and...nobody else 'butt you"! No pain, no Tain.

Collecting Orders For A Repress!
Stand by us with this ode to childhood, youth and adolescene. Three brave hits that
evoke the sweet innocence of days long gone, Chucks, striped tees and the question
what kind of creature Goofy really is. For all you outsiders and insiders. A creative
original Young Edits effort. Only original with the stamp.

The long awaited return of...Tiger & Woods! Editainment's top team and most dynamic duo are back with "Banana Balls". Two uncontrollable tracks, spiced and sliced and with additional bonus mixes for your very pleasure and in T&W's signature style. Play the game!

collecting orders for a repess!
New kid on the block Jacob Korn (Dresden, Germany y'all!) convinced sometime somewhere in Toronto with a hearty live set that took a route over hip hop, down tempo house and all kinds of funkiness until it peaked with the disco-house-craze "I Like The Sun (But not on LEDs)".

FOREST JAMS followup to their now out of print ALBION single is this three track EP ("VAMPIRELLA", "STAR MOVER", "E.S.P."). "She is alien to planet Earth, yet she is no monster of the night. She is the last of her kind. She is VAMPIRELLA." Play at midnight deep in the woods and wait... Pic sleeve

Highlife welcomes the return of Alma Negra!

Anyone who bothers paying attention to these press releases will note that we have recently been comparing tracks to other artists we admire, or go down the celebrity endorsement route. This time round we'll do neither..

Instead we will say; Maloya is the first record we've listened to 3 times in a row upon receiving it. It has provoked ID requests every time we've played it and our dear friend Susie Crome claims it's one of the best records she's ever heard. That's no mean feat, Susie is well versed on the party front.

See for yourself.

Take a slop of the early nineties piano vibes, add a drop of the eighties warehouse anthems. Stir it all up and shake it with the talent of UK rising star Cristoph and we have Ev's Groove. Its not deep house, its not nu- disco, its Ev's Groove. With its catchy lead and mesmerizing sphere, Cristoph returns to Relux Underground with a bomb to put your dancing shoes on fire.Add a rework from Sporloto lifting the vibe into his own universe of finesse and extravaganza, plus interpretations from GrooveU & Dr. Benz embracing a laid back ride down the deeper lane, plus a Mike Salta Detroit retro trip, plus a stripped down to the core of the groove remix from Craig Smith, then we have a package we call Ev's Groove. We trust you to enjoy t out loud!

Imagined as a sharp contrast and complement to Funn City's trashy vintage vibes, Darshan Jesrani's new Cylinder moniker sets out to explore the more streamlined, forward-facing side of Startree's vision, while sacrificing none of the warmth or funk of its classic influences. 'Disco Engine' is a futuristic joyride which draws upon late 80s and early 90s techno vibes as much as it does disco and R&B to produce a groove which is warmly insistent, buoyant, sexy and a little menacing. Ruthless, detuned 808 toms and a punchy, round analog bass synth provide a floor you can push the gas pedal to. A greasy, giddy synth rhythm holds the middle down like a session guitarist when rent is due, and ecstatic choral synth pads and vocals by Chelsea Adewunmi soar just above the horizon. Underground dance music with the top way down. Side B's '4-Stroke Dub' works a more DJ-oriented angle around that 808 and juxtaposes parts which do not play together in the original, creating a track which is subtly driving and every bit as engaging. The gorgeous, understated vocal refrain in the middle is a destination you will have been happy to go the extra distance to reach. Startree is happy to present its second release as a continuing statement of its musical intentions and its simple desire for all to have a really good time.

A year in the making, Queen & Disco's "The Royalty of Funk" has finally landed. The project was handled with TLC from the get-go and the result has been worth the wait.
The Derry natives have put their souls into the record and it has come out the other end smothered head-to-toe in everything that Q&D stands for. A collectable 12" Vinyl which looks the part, but more importantly will do the business on the dance floor.


The 4 track EP boasts tracks from 2 of Q&D's biggest influences in Luca Trevisi, (better known as his behind the wheels alias LTJ ) and fellow Irish men Get Down Edits, as well as a track from the Q&D boys and Q&D resident Alan Mooney.


Track 1, "KOFI" from Alan Mooney's Edits is a Beatdown masterpiece. A sample ripped from a dusty old record, bent and moulded in the digital realm for it to be put back on wax and it doesn't stop giving. As far as introductions go, this one is a bit special. Rounding off the A-Side LTJ comes in, showcasing his enviable talents to endlessly produce mesmeric and distinctive tracks. "Don't You Do It" is a driving groover, heavy on sassy vocals and a hypnotic bassline.


The B-Side is a sexed-up affair, immediately upping the tempo are the Get Down Edit boyos with the aptly named "Dirty". There's almost too much good in this track to start singling out individual aspects, from harmonica solos, killer vocals, straight up funk guitar, and a heavy helping of brass, this track's got it all.
Closing proceedings we have the Q&D boys first foray into the production scene with "Ghetto Life". This one is all about the brass, a real party number with an infectious groove that keeps the head and feet moving for the duration.

4 Track EP with a little something for everybody.

There's much to enjoy about Andrew Allsgood's Free Association edit series, from the psychedelic trippiness of the '70s rock-inspired artwork, to the impressive oddness of their source material. Of course, this would mean nothing if the edits didn't deliver, but to date they've been nothing less than inspired. There's more brilliance to be found on this third installment, from the voodoo percussion and slowly building intensity of "Polyryhthm Jizm", to the loose Afrobeat goodness of lead cut "Grassland". The EP's third track, the dense afro-rock epic "Zulu Salute" is arguably the highlight of another inspired collection of inventive and unusual re-edits.

The first cut may be the deepest, but the second hurts the most!

It might be commonplace, but it holds some self-evident truth for the return of Lauer - to the album format that is. Three years after his debut 'Phillips' on Running Back, the melody man from the outback of Frankfurt am Main presents Borndom: a thirteen track trip through a universe that is specifically his. Far from being a stranger to Permanent Vacation with singles like Delta NRG or Donnerlake being heralds of the things to come, it provides a home to their spiritual kinship and ethos.

Rooted in pop music and mixed with the reactance and sound aesthetics of punk, while wearing dancing shoes, you'll be hard pressed to find lots of contemporaries that till a similar field. With a sound signature, a melodic repertoire and an emotional quality that is immediately recognizable, often yearns for vocals (a point of criticism that is minimized as you will see in just a second) and is if nothing else highly individualised, Lauer might one of the thoroughly honest indie dancers out there.

Unlike his other adventures in club music (hardly lets a week go by without a release or a remix for the most critically-acclaimed outfits on this planets either on his own, under the Hotel Lauer umbrella or as being part of Tuff City Kids), his second album makes the most use of these moments and that specific stylistic. Of course, you can find typical high flying Lauer moments like 'Mausback' or 'Hump Acid' or the Nu-Groove-esque desire dubbed'Pal Oh', but the image of a singer-songwriter with a midi-kit prevails. There are miniatures like 'Carpet', the blissful melancholia of the opener 'Crewners', the album's title track that sounds like the lost soundtrack to an eighties sitcom about college nerds and maybe most startling, Borndom's vocal features. 'ESC' (feat. Jasnau) being the proverbial cold wave mating dance in the neon light, while the two songs with Ela take care of romantic highs and lows.

After seducing the likes of Optimo, Horse Meat Disco, Rub'N'Tug and Bicep with their floor-friendly reworks of classic disco, funk and electro, the lads over at Fatty Fatty Phonographics are expanding their repertoire with their first 12 inch of original material.
The man they've chosen for this mission, Tim Blake, is a Dublin born music maker with a bank of vintage keyboards and drum machines in his spare room and a full blooded romantic's heart beating in his chest.

Now based in Berlin, his debut 'Heat Crime' EP came out on Kleine Reise Records, a label run by a set of Irish messers who throw some of the city's very best parties, and a track on the recent Dirt Crew Recordings 10th anniversary compilation has helped spread the word about this special talent further.

'United States of Hinterland' in its demo form was described as 'The Shit' by none other than Mad Mike Banks of Underground Resistance and you can see why - banks of emotive, UR drenched synths and pads married to overpowering piano chords, wild psychedelic guitar, crazed drum patterns and an unmistakeable 21st Century P-Funk squelch.

Pablo and Shoey have their fun with the track on the flip, upping the ante with a big fat 303 assault while retaining the elements that make the original such a trip.

The package is rounded off nicely with a hypnotic dub for the Dj's, not to mention 'Haunting Passion', a churning,yearning deep house roller that pushes all the right buttons for the modern dancefloor.
You can imagine this one cooling the dancers off at 6am, or providing just the right soundtrack for a blissed out summer sunset moment...

Danish producer Kenneth Bager weighs in with a heavy remix line-up featuring the massively hyped Alex Metric remix which harks back to the days of slick French filter house, when Etienne DeCrecy, Alex Gopher and obviously Daft Punk were fresher than thou. Jayou's Dub mix first appeared on the Mad Decent blog courtesy of Diplo himself and is a secret weapon of choice on the Annie Mac electro pubstep scene. Bangin', yeah. London Soulful House and Garage don Wookie comes correct with a typically faultless groover whilst Leo Zero takes us on an 11 min vocal journey with his extended mix. Toby Tobias brings it up the rear with two exemplary examples of classic dubby disco grooves, think Harvey meets the Idjuts around at Maurice Fultons house for a warm cup of vibes and you're not even close.

Going even further into the tape archives of Robbie M we find ourselves with "Friend". This time it's going to be a late night affair, as Robbie smothers you with those smooth vocals as only he can. Rock Island's RAM music direct to you from the Midwest. Robbie is currently working on his autobiography film project, but had the time to bless us with a new music video for "Thanks For The Love" featured on this LP

[aL] CD 1-12 | Boom Bang Bang, (Horny United Rework Edit) - Dubnotized





[aS] CD 1-19 | Work It Out, (Klaas Remix) - Dj Disciple Feat. Dawn Tallman

Smalltown Supersound is proud to announce that it is re-issuing the Holy Grail of Norwegian dance music, the first two albums by reclusive cult innovator from beyond the Arctic Circle Bjørn Torske.

With the Norwegian disco movement having given birth to many international dance stars, now is a perfect time to go back and re-evaluate these brilliant records, that provided the inspiration for a wave of producers in their wake. With all of Torske's album discography now with their natural home Smalltown Supersound, the label can finally feel complete.

Debut album Nedi Myra' was first released on UK label Ferox and his second album Trøbbel' originally came out on Telle Records. They have been out print for many years and have not been distributed on any digital streaming sites. Now lovingly re-mastered by Helmut Erler at Dubplates & Mastering, for the first time Bjørn feels that they sound as he intended them to sound.

Together with the late Tore Erot' Kroknes, Bjørn laid the foundation for the disco scene in Norway that gave birth to Prins Thomas, Lindstrom, Andre Bratten and Todd Terje. Inspired by DJ Harvey, Ron Hardy and Idjut Boys, Bjorn Torske and Erot brought underground disco and house/techno (Chicago/Detroit style) to the country, developing their very own style of tripped out dubby disco with their characteristic weird, humorous and psychedelic twists along the way. With Torske as with many auteurs, he hasn't always got the attention and credit he deserved. He is known for being reclusive, and an outsider, making music on his own terms and not playing by the rules of the record business. All of which has made him the musician's musician.

Torske's debut album under his own name was Nedi Myra' in 1998 on UK label Ferox. After that he released a string of singles with Svek label, among them the seminal Jeg vil være søppelmann'. That translates to I Want To Be A Binman' in English, which shows who set the tone for Norwegian disco's particular sense of humour. Also on Svek was the single Sexy Disco', cited by Todd Terje as the first time I listened to disco in a non-ironic way'. "Trøbbel" was released in 2001 and in 2005 he signed to Smalltown Supersound and released the two 12' singles Kokt Kveite' and Ny lugg/Kort bak lang på siden' and the albums Feil Knapp' (2007) and Kokning' (2009). In 2010 he released Oppkok' 12' which was remixed by DJ Harvey and Todd Terje, and last year the Kok'

EP with additional material from the Kokning' album sessions.

Armand Van Helden, Boston-born, Grammy Award-nominated DJ, producer and remixer, has spent 20 years honing a reputation as one of the most respected producers on the scene. With three official UK Number 1's under his belt, he is a worthy choice to present the next installment of Ministry of Sound's prized 'Masterpiece' series, available from 16th February 20

The 'Masterpiece' series is a concept fronted by artists and DJs of the highest calibre. It's an opportunity for these pioneering acts to curate a three disc musical journey that depicts their own influences and inspirations to share with their fans. With predecessors including Goldie, David Rodigan, Andrew Weatherall, Fabio and Grooverider and Gilles Peterson, the level of reputation and irrefutable standing of acts selected for 'Masterpiece' in the past is a given.

Crafting beats from a very young age, it was in 1991 that Van Helden began working on production for the remix service X-Mix Productions (founded by his future manager, Neil Petricone). His big break quickly followed in 1992 when he released Deep Creed's 'Stay on My Mind' on Nervous Records - the result of playing one of his production demos for the dance A&R guru Gladys Pizarro.

Boston's early house venue The Loft is where Armand truly cut his teeth as a DJ, with his residency helping to make it one of the most popular underground clubs in the city. On the first disc of the compilation, he revisits his days at The Loft, recalling a place where Mood II Swing swung their trousers next to early Masters At Work remixes. Since those early days, Van Helden has gone on to become an internationally renowned act, dropping bomb after bomb of nuclear-powered New York goodness: from classic house to speed garage via hip hop, funk, blue-eyed soul and back.

It's precisely the wide variety of genres he favours that makes his second disc - entitled 'Yacht Rock Don't Stop' - so rich. The mix is a homage to his parents' record collection, as he explains: 'when you're in the ages of let's say 6-10 years old, the music you're exposed to will stay with you forever. In those particular years, my folks would constantly play their records at home but at nightclub volume: home stereos were big then. Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac and the Doobie Brothers were regulars.'

Following his Yacht Rock exploration, the lost era of freestyle becomes the focus of Armand's third disc. A short-lived, soul-tinged genre that took in artists like Stevie B, Lisa Lisa and Shannon, Armand takes the opportunity on 'Forever Freestyle' to shine a light on this underrated branch of dance music: one that is vital to his curated collection.

Van Helden's chart success includes three official UK number 1's: 'U Don't Know Me' (1999), his remix of Tori Amos' 'Professional Widow' (1996), and 'Bonkers' (2009); his collaboration with Dizzee Rascal. He also boasts Top 10 hits with 'Koochy' (2000), and 'Barbra Streisand' (2010) - the second single from Duck Sauce, his collaborative project with A-Trak. The mastery of his craft has equally made him a popular choice to remix tracks for some of the biggest acts in the world, including The Rolling Stones, Katy Perry, P. Diddy, Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, Faithless, New Order, and Daft Punk.

The 'Masterpiece' series has been an enjoyable and enlightening set of compilations so far, allowing each artist to showcase in real detail the inspirations that have helped shape their careers. On Van Helden's compilation, fans are afforded the chance to delve into the musical mind of one of the world's most famed dance artists: a man who creates disco carnage often by complete accident.

Love Club was an obscure one off project fronted by Jay "Mixin" Dixon, a DJ with a long history at NYCs Kiss FM where he played deep House and Garage on the stations legendary master-mix show in the early 90's. The record also features a mystery, uncredited female vocalist assisted by some top shelf studio personnel manning the boards.

It was released on the mighty West End Records in August 1983 and is Dixon's first foray into releasing music. "Hot Summer Nights" is a real under the radar gem and it bears all the hallmarks of a classic West End production of the time: slick, synth heavy, futuristic sounding production and sultry vocals extolling the virtues of eyes meeting across the dance-floor of a unknown discotech on a sticky summer night, a nice slice of electronic Disco bliss that even features a rapped verse from Dixon himself towards the end of the track! Flip it over to side B for the obligatory instrumental mix / dub where the spacious, stripped back groove really comes to life.

Yet another gem from the vast West End catalogue re-mastered, re-pressed and re-released in conjunction with the label, featuring the original label artwork from 1983. A treat for all serious Disco / Boogie fans.

"A West End Mix"

The Far Out Monster Disco Orchestra, Far Out's 20th anniversary disco project, released its double LP earlier this year. It features the arrangements of Azymuth's late Maestro José Roberto Bertrami and the legendary Arthur Verocai alongside a host of other Brazilian musical icons. FOMDO09 is the latest in a series of vinyl only; 12" remixes and edits on Far Out. Previous producers providing their re-works to the series include Theo Parrish, Marcellus Pittman, Mark Pritchard, 4hero, Isoul8, LTJ Xperience and many more.

Al Kent is Glasgow's answer to Walter Gibbons. With the recent re-popularisation of disco music and the relative saturation of edit culture, Al Kent once again demonstrates what re-editing is all about. His use of analogue equipment mirrors the original intentions of the FOMDO project which was recorded in Rio using all analogue equipment, including 2' Ampex tape, Neve compressors and an SSL desk.



On this 12' Al Kent strips the original disco masterpieces down to their bare bones, letting the splendour of Betrami and Verocai's arrangements really shine through. Al Kent's edit of 'Disco Supreme' is a fantastically drawn out 13-minute builder - deconstructing the original and piecing it back together within the framework of his signature (very) punchy drum sound. Betrami's beautiful Rhodes float amongst Verocai's soaring strings and at one point, these are the only sounds to be heard (it's possibly the most beautiful thing ever!), before the song kicks back in in all its Brazilian disco glory. The b-side 'Keep Believing' is a slightly slower and heavier (yet just as club focused) groove. Its foundation is Alex Malheiros of Azymuth's funk bassline woven tightly with Al Kent's phased drums. Triumphant disco in the style of Tom Moulton and Walter Gibbons, 'Keep Believing', like the a-side, features a full orchestra and revisits the authenticity and glamorous hedonism of the late 70s scene.



To celebrate the release in appropriately glamorous and hedonistic fashion, Far Out Label boss Joe Davis has invited Al Kent down from Glasgow to Peckham's Bussey Building in South London, to throw one of his world famous Million Dollar Disco parties. The line-up on the night consists of Al Kent, Joe Davis and Far Out resident DJs. Tickets are available from Resident Advisor.

Uber Recordings' latest release see the legendary Bing Ji Ling make an appearance. See Me Through featuring the sweet vocals of Diane Birch is a sunkissed slice of California soul. A beautiful heartfelt love song oozing quality. Live instrumentation and a tight arrangement creating a real classic song. The second track, the remix of Thought Our Love Was Strong is something a little different. Tropical digital reggae vibrations all over Bing's sweet soulful smokey vocals.and bluesy guitar. West Coast Collie weed poolside stylee.
The B side is Coyote's reworking of See Me Through. Throbbing disco sub bass loops and dubbed out vocal samples with extra percussion and funky guitars layering over house beats build up to a vocal break down, before dropping back in with all guns blazing. Big smiles and dancing guaranteed.

Groove Line Records open our account in 2015 with our debut half-speed mastered 12' single. First in line for the super deluxe treatment are Plush's 1982 singles, Free And Easy (Tee Scott Remix) and Burnin' Love.

Plush were a short lived Synth-Dance group (with a young Siedah Garrett in their ranks) who were taken under the wing of R&B hit makers Rene & Angela releasing one self-titled LP in 1982 from which both of these singles originate.

Side A boasts the legendary Tee Scott's Dance Remix of the Rene & Angela penned 'Free And Easy,' whose version is considered a classic by modern soul lovers. Celebrated DJ, innovator and mixer Scott expertly stretches the Plush original to over 8 minutes, creating an incredible dancefloor experience.

The opening synth swell gives way to a solid kick full of intent, on top of which a synth bass riff introduces the funky electric bass, anchoring the groove for the duration of the track. Tee Scott then takes the dancer on a beautiful journey, subtly and sparingly adding the various elements of the track to stunning effect before each sequence culminates in an intoxifying crescendo (notably at 2:18 and 4:41) before stripping it all back and starting the next leg of the journey. Scott seems to have been inspired by the track title injecting an ever evolving blend of dynamic synth parts, jazzy, staccato lead guitar riffs, acoustic piano licks and passionately sung, feel good, positive vocals from Garrett and her band mates which unquestionably leave you feeling very free and easy on the dancefloor.

Side B features the 12' Dance Remix of Burnin' Love. A very funky, synth driven dance track with a bubbling bass line, sweeping synth swells and Prince-esque electric guitar, Burnin' Love (also written by Rene & Angela) spotlights the burgeoning vocal talents of Siedah Garrett and the funky, harder hitting, progressive electro-funk production style emerging within dance music in 1982.

All Groove Line Records releases are fully licensed and taken from the original master tapes, remastered by Nick Robbins at Sound Mastering, and cut by Matt Colton at Alchemy (Mastering Engineer of the Year 2013). All vinyl is heavy weight 180g manufactured Optimal Media in Germany, one of the world's finest pressing plants.

Groove Line Records cut no corners when making sure that each and every one of our releases has the highest quality performance possible.

Celebrated and Mercury-nominated UK duo Rae & Christian released their first new material for ten years in 2013 on Night Time Stories/Late Night Tales after spending the last decade meditating in a Buddhist monastery in Swindon. This year the label commissioned a series of remixes from Mercury Rising and Mang Dynasty (aka Ray Mang & Bill Brewster) take on Favourite Game featuring rising star of the Swindon Buddhist circuit Jake Emlyn.
Mang Dynasty focus on Gita Langley's backing vocal hooks adding a chorus piano motif and stretch things out into an epic nine minute plus main version aimed squarely at the dancefloor (and Afghanistan). Jake Emlyn's more aurally-pleasing melodic parts are utilised towards the end taking things up another level to a happy finish. Initial reactions have been so strong it seemed rude not to slip out a 12-inch on Mangled, home of the hits!

UK-based Nang presents Disco legend Rayko latest album, due for release on the 31st of March 2014 on vinyl and digitally.


Nang has been releasing quality Disco since its inception, dropping tracks from the likes of Martin Brodin, Tensnake, Daniele Baldelli, Brioski, Toby Tobias and with an incredible list of remix artists such as Luke Solomon, Andrew Weatherall and Lindstrom amongst other. This spring they are delivering Disco visionary Rayko's latest album Rebirth which follows Tirks latest single, Rusos Theme on the Uk-based imprint.


The LP comprises 10 forward thinking disco tracks and it opens with Balearic Intro, which is a slow tempo moody disco tune, guided by an almost talking guitar solo. The second track The Cave is clearly influenced by 80s synth rock while Time And Space is more a deep club focused tune. The fourth cut Nightlogy is a perfect example of how Rayko can revitalise dated sounds and give them new shine, adding on top of the tune a soulful vocal. This last cut is on par with Rusos Theme, a more pop oriented track driven by the hypnotic male voice that repeats "I'm gonna make you love me.", quite a clear mission statement!


The LPs title track merges acid synth lines with a relentless groove and its a strong dancefloor focused track. He Came From The Space is an uplifting funky tune, while Dreamer is a more groovy synth driven tune with a cheeky vibe to it. The last 2 tracks are the perfect ending for the album: Warhammer is a slow moody cut while the closing tune Goodbye Baby is a proper club track, in which a funky slapped bass line is combined with guitar riffs and a long ethereal pad, it rounds off the release perfectly and feels like the end of the show.

The latest jam from Thorsten Scheu aka GLANCE (stir 15) and JIMMIE WILSON ("pretender") follows the vibe of classic, timeless house music, three mixes that span a wide range.

Fourth in a series of special 45's from the Sounds Familiar label - this time featuring two workouts by the italian producer Twice. Limited to 300 copies only. Check!!
