The super disco edit team have pulled out all the stops on this super un-issued 1979 disco dancer from the stable of world renowned musician Stu Gardner. Here he teams up with the beautiful ms Irene Cathaway to bring you a unique slice of Disco Madness. Pulling away from too much disco cheese and sleaze Mr Gardner kills it with some organ work like no other disco '12! A 6 minute party jam, with those lovely disco drum breaks towards
the end. But hold on, flip it over to get another lovely un-issued feel good track called "He can ring my bell", dropping like an emotions out take!. So two previously un-issued tracks, in a 350grm customized disco sleeve, with inner. This is limited once again,with a no repress policy.

For the latest edition of the intriguing Dessert Islands Discs re-edit series, the label has called upon the well-renowned scalpel talents of German-in-Amsterdam Marcel Vogel, AKA Em Vee. The Double Denim-sporting eccentric drops another gem in the shape of "White Heat Shake It Out (Edit)", a bouncy and seductive disco chop-job that makes great use of the source material's bustling groove and steamy, spoken word vocals. On the flip, lesser-known re-edit heads Papi Del Pancake and Claude Von Reefer take up the challenge. Their "Gimme What You Got" has a little more deep house shuffle, but retains the key instrumentation and feel of a sumptuous disco-soul jam.

Rothmans is back with there 7th release and this time they pay homage to German playmaker Paul Breitner . The EP comes in the form of rising Manchester producer Ste Spandex , fresh off the back of his remix of Coyote our on Rothmans 6 , and has been recorded 100% live on analogue eqiupment , not a computer in sight !!!! . The EP finds Rothmans taking a slightly different and more up tempo vibe to it but still retains the psychadelic Nu Disco feel of many of there Earlier releases. Spandex has had a little help from his friends in the form of Kickin' Pigeon and Metrodome , both fresh out of the Manchester underground. This is Rothmans first all Manchester release and sees them really cemeting the label in there surroundings.

Following the dazzling debut 12", Crumbs hit us with another stunner !

Although delivering a mysterious & scantily clad 12" is hardly a novel concept these days, it does concentrate the mind (and feet) on the music more than the brand

It's undercover time again, and we're sworn to secrecy, of course...but three producers of considerable note contribute here

Tee Mango rides some seriously wig flipping synth lines over an irresistible tropical groove that just builds beautifully into a bona fide 'moment' on the floor On the flip we're treated to two solid gold Soulful extensions: Allenby Chilton takes on a little known Etta jam, amplifies the Funk elements and transforms the song into an altogether more heavyweight workout.
Finally Fence take on a rare late 70's psychedelic Soul tune, again adding some 21st century wide-screen sonics and dancefloor dynamic

Another All Ears sureshot !

Another great House selection for this serie. 12 unmixed, extended & original versions. Incl. Duke Dumont, Tom Odell, Chris Malinchal, The Cube Guys, Watermat, ... and many more !!!!

Thirty years later Italian Records and Kirlian Camera are happy to re-release EDGES in a new interpretation by today's singer/frontliner Elena Alice Fossi.

The A side of this 21st century vinyl includes remixes by JOHN FRYER (Depeche Mode + NIN producer), and Starion that combines vocoder vocals, analogue bass and polysynth.
On the B side the electronic duo from Rotterdam Shambok offers a pumping ELECTRO MIX along with an intense pad ACCAPPELLA version.

Really: an HOT RECORD not to miss !!

San Francisco-based DJ/producer Nick Monaco has long been part of the Soul Clap family, releasing his first 12" on the label back in 2012. Mating Call, a double 12" set running at album length, is easily his most expansive release yet. It's typically eccentric, delivering a range of songs - featuring his own distinctive vocals - that blend numerous styles whilst retaining a loose, funky and altogether rather kaleidoscopic feel. It's rooted in Balearic pop, but also touches on dub, deep house, boogie, dub disco and a strangely deep and contemporary take on the triple-beat rhythms of glam rock. It's hard to accurately describe, but is really rather good; certainly, it's one of Soul Clap's strongest releases of recent times.

'1975' is special. It's Xinobi's debut album and it pretty much summarizes his recent and diverse approach to music. It has organic House Music and Disco flavors mixed with a strong, yet idiosyncratic, Pop sensibility that stands out of what could be too obvious on a dance music oriented record. During 54 minutes you're driven by a simultaneously homogeneous and diverse collection of songs that range from contemplative intimate moments to memorable chorus that gather tons of people singing and clapping soulfully. It's a dissimulated anthemic record but it stands as much more than that. Imagine the roughness of Caribou merged with Ennio Morricone-ish ambiences; the fragmental DJ Koze deep trips with sunny Lisbon as a background; Spaghetti Disco or Supermax on Jamaican Dub. Surf Guitar and Deep House. Simple and dense. Humble and nerdy. It's all of these glued onto a great combo in an intelligent and contemporary way.

Limited vinyl 12' reissue of this 1979 African disco classic from the great Mr Cecil Bunting MacCormack aka Bunny Mack. A perfect fusion of disco, funk and calypso, produced by fellow Sierra Leonean Akie Deen, this sweaty, pumping disco shaker has timeless dancefloor appeal and is still a big DJ play today especially after being revived as a contemporary club hit by Masters at Work and Anane and also sampled to great effect by Wale for his hip-hop banger 'My Sweetie'. Side B features the highly sought-after and very useful instrumental version 'Love You Forever'.

The debut album from the über-talented Russian producer and DJ LAY-FAR, featuring impressive collaborations with PETE SIMPSON, YANNAH VALDEVIT, SOULED, SARAH WINTON, PETER OAKDEN, VICKY FLINT and DRAGON! The DLP features 11 tracks (the CD has 15) filled with uplifting house tracks "A LITTLE FAITH", interchange with serious political messages "STAND UP, romantic dance ballads "SO MANY YEARS", infectious jazzy grooves "YES YOU CAN" and introspective bangers like "THAT DREAM" with ironic interludes in-between.

Jonathan Moore, the man behind Leftside Wobble not only shares a name with the legendary Coldcut producer, but he's been involved with the underground music scene for almost as long.
Having started out at Paul Oakenfold's Project Club in the late 80's he went on to residencies at seminal house nights Solaris & Kinky Disco. The nineties & noughties saw him at the helm of a series of memorable club nights for Dazed & Confused magazine as well as regular appearances at the now sadly defunct Kings Cross establishments - The Cross, The Key & Canvas.


In recent years he's better known for his productions, edits and reworks he puts out under the Leftside Wobble banner - his rework of The Beatles 'Tomorrow Never Knows' was recently picked by Greg Wilson in his 'best ever' selection of edits/reworks. And his electric approach to music production has seen him commissioned for remix work for a diverse set artists including Bryan Ferry, The Temples, Detroit Swindle, Public Service Broadcasting, Ambient Jazz Ensemble and The Time & Space Machine.


x-cursions has been set up to celebrate the eclectic in dance music and specifically not be tied to any particular sub-genre. The first EP contains a classic Loleatta Holloway disco edit, an Ike & Tina Turner Balearic soul rework, and an electro funk track that harks back to the production style of Arthur Baker (already being supported by a diverse set of DJ's including Bill Brewster, Chris Coco, Kev Beadle and Justin Robertson). And the social media buzz is already cooking on these tracks, so far they've been favorited approx. 1500 times on Soundcloud and received approx. 20,000 combined plays.

Martin Brodin & Dumb Dan "Blood Stud" ...with the mighty Ray Mang on remix duties..massive record!!

IIB's latest release is an EP from The clandestino crew. First track is a slo mo cosmic melodic acid dub. A beautiful early evening trip. This is remixed by the Beat Broker who adds a few sublime uplifting west coast sprinkles. The first track on the B side is a solid disco tinged house beauty with synth stabs subtle acid undertones claps and a great sample. The final track is Beyond the Sun. A mellow eastern tinged sundowner featuring another great sample. This EP really captures the original IIB sound and philosophy. A real gem.

"Windsurf's Samuel Grawe has dropped some sublime if intermittent solo material under the Hatchback name over the years, gracing the excellent Lo Recordings with two albums as well as dropping a sublime 12" on the much missed THISISNOTANEXIT. Kudos goes to Watson and Ritesh Kumar's Adult Contemporary for coaxing this slab of Hatchback material out of Grawe with the 3 track Marin County 12" every bit as sumptuous as those aforementioned releases. Lead track "Paradise Drive" sets the tone and demonstrates Grawe's talent for arrangement with the languid piano tone perfectly complemented by the shuffling beat and rippling bed of warm textures that sit below. "Loma Alta" meanwhile sounds like New Beat gone Balearic whilst the soaring"Baker Beach" nudges up the tempo without any hint of sacrifice to the musicality."

and more and more "expensive" - which is a rarity of Italo-disco music.It is well known that Ron Hardy played european stuff like Radio Rap back in the days. And also this rare record was played by him in the Music Box. You can find it on his mixes, check out the playlists yourself. A very limited number of copies of this record were released. The producer was Danilo Ciarchi. This band was a combo of several Italian radio DJs of Florence (Italy), 1984. All of them were working for a local pirate radio called Radio Fantasy. It is an excellent record!

Release your creative spirit and originality!

Unfettered Balearic pop from We Are Destino on the always excellent Adult Contemporary label, previously responsible for some real vinyl shaped gems from Dorado, Lord Of The Isles and The Beat Broker. The original rendition of "Mind Force" is silky and sun kissed and will easily melt the hear of even the most ardent disco grump; rich synth waves, lapping and flowing with major chord surges, are carried by chugging dubbed out beats and coated by the stunning harmonies of D'ete Blackshire. Throw in some dazzling key work and two script-flipping remixes from Brennan Green (one pumping, later night affair, one super-laid back and sedate) and you have yourself something very, very special.

All releases are hand-numbered limited edition vinyl. The first 100 copies of each release are pressed in coloured vinyls. This first release is dedicated to the sought- mix "Je -na / Pagaia" by Tony Esposito 1983 - cult record and more and more "expensive" - which is a rarity of Afro-cosmic Italian music. A very popular piece at the time and fortunately returned in vogue today thanks to many followers, DJs and lovers to the great "Balearic" family. The music of Tony Esposito is inspired by sounds from many countries around the world, mixing tribal rhythms with Neapolitan melodies, well represented by the track "Je -na", where the wide range of styles is manifested in its hypnotic sounds and rhythm in his percussion. The two tracks were born in 1983 after a trip to Jamaica and were composed together with Pino Daniele. The style and sound of these two pieces reflects the influence of Bob Marley and his group, with whom Tony Esposito has worked both in Italy and in Kingston Town, Jamaica .

Like many of the greatest Italo-disco records, Tony Esposito's 1983 double A-side "Je-Na'"/"Pagaia" is ridiculously rare. Put it this way: if you fancy nabbing yourself an original copy, it will make a serious dent in your wallet. This welcome reissue presents both tracks in their original 12" glory, mixed with clubs in mind by Mariano Boncaldo of Klein & M.B.O fame. It's the A-side that's arguably the pick of the pair, featuring as it does a Balearic-friendly blend of dense, bongo-laden rhythms, tribal chants and delay-heavy guitars. There's a bit more of a hazy disco bounce to "Pagaia", which sounds a little like a long lost Tullio de Piscopo record - all jazz-fusion scat singing, sunny horns and shuffling rhythms.

Spritual South have developed a real reputation for quality through the years with many established DJs and producers counting themselves as fans. Now it's time to give the Basic Fingers fans two tight & timeless grooves.

'Everyday' is simply seductive feel good vibes and 'Gonna Getcha' on the b-side is keeping the boogie side of the disco fire burning. Hot stuff!

After storming the charts in 2012 with mysterious 7' championed by Todd Terje & many others, Zambon & Kapsa - the guys from The Very Polish Cut Outs are back with more goods!

Following the successful debut, they bring us a delicious 12' release with 4 amazing edits based on obscure Polish records from the 80's.

A Side is curated by Ptaki, a mysterious duo hailing from Warsaw. Ptaki (which means birds in Polish) fly high and want to keep their true identity under the radar.
Nevertheless, they serve two amazing cuts here, both based on obscure Polish jazzfunk. - Krystyna' is the choice cut, with its infectious vocal hook and irresistible groove. - Marek' is a piece of wonderful Balearic slow house with rich rhythm and crazy synth action in the middle.

B Side comes from Maciek Sienkiewicz, one of the finest purveyors of Balearic grooves in Poland.
Two tracks served here wouldn't sound out of place in Alfredo's set. - Song For Mohindar' is the lead track, with its ethereal new-age atmospherics and exotic instrumentation. - Syntetyczna Kobieta Lux' is an electronic burner that you may (or may not) know from last year's TVPC Beats In Space show.

All tracks were carefully mastered and pressed on fat & loud 12inch to maximize your pleasure of discovering forgotten gems from Poland's rich musical past.
This record comes in a lush sleeve, designed by one of the most talented young Polish designers.
Already gaining support from Eddie C, Soft Rocks, Coyote, Phil South, The Project Club, Rune Lindbaek, Sleazy Beats..to name a few... What's not to love

French producer Young Pulse was quickly recruited to the GAMM family the minute we first heard his amazing edits.
I think you'll agree that tasteful edits like this don't come across that often.
With four carefully selected tunes we hope and think that they will spread that soulful feeling GAMM have been spreading since its birth back in 2002.

Basically its a package with classic GAMM biz...and that ain't a bad thing ;)

Dim's classic edit skills are back on wax! Including 2 exclusive unreleased tracks. All tracks are on vinyl for the first time.

Here comes new DJ PLAYER containing 12 club hits , all extended versions for deejays. 21st number for this great dance / club selections serie. DJ SANNY J, SIMONE DI BELLA, DJ SAMUEL KIMKO' ,... and many more !!

It should be is the new EP from NOON, one of the main artist and the label manager of SFX Recordings. This release will be the first one on Vinyl and digital. A two tracks EP definitely oriented to a deep underground clubbing feeling. 'It should be" is the special tracks perfectly dosed in between groove and melodic flow, it will be a main instrument for all the after lovers. "Fun to Mental" is definitely the dance floors track of the release. Based on a funky energy, surrounded by a fat groove, this tracks is a classic to have and play for all the parties lovers !!

Cyber Dance Records return with a full-length double-vinyl album from Manchester's Kid Machine (aka Mark Wilkinson) following a string of instantly sold-out EPs for Viewlexx, Red Laser and Flight Recorder. A long-time collaborator of world-famous Italo Disco DJ Flemming Dalum, it's no surprise that many of the tracks have that hallmark space sound reminiscent of the likes of Cyber People and Koto, but Mark stamps his own distinct identity on the genre by slowing down the BPM's and incorporating many other influences throughout so that this is no retro affair but a distinctly fresh and modern take on the genre. No mere collection of dance tracks, this is a proper album in the truest sense of the word. From the dark and powerful strains of the opening 'This Is My Universe' to the rousing emotional closing track 'Golden Triangle' Mark takes us on an epic synthesised journey that is as comfortable on the home stereo or night-drives in the car as it is on the dancefloor. Effortlessly incorporating elements and themes ranging from the cosmic ('Forever In The Stars', 'Leaving Space', 'Astromance', 'Starbreaker', 'Galaxia') to the militant ('We Are At War') to subconscious fear ('Nightmares'), everything flows with an ease far beyond the short time that he's been releasing music so far and revealing why his rise has been such a lightning phenomenon.

This time we go back to 1978. Why

Antilope's and Death On The Balcony's edits both are based around originals that were released in 1978 - stretched and sped up for the club. Matpat, on the other hand, selected a drum and piano loop from a Maxi Version of one of the first disco-rap records from 1980.
A1)
When the original of this club edit was released in 1978, it was already an edit, as it used poetry recordings of the band's singer who was by then dead for 7 years. With the overdubbing of music to pre-existing poetry recital tapes by the surviving band members, it marks the beginning of the creation of something new for the band. Right in this spirit, Antilope has created a club version that stays true to the original but makes it suitable for after-hours and late night venues.
B1)
Death On The Balcony's edit is all about the groove. Think Paul Humphrey, Ed Greene, Earl Palmer and the god-father of that 16th-note groove James Gadson. Death On The Balcony replayed some parts & added a more modern bass to mirror, compliment existing parts in the original track used. The hook of the vocal was made as an art of the verse of the beginning.
B2)
Matpat used a Piano-loop from one of the first disco rap records ever made and transformed it into a jackin house swinger. No more words needed, just enjoy it.

About ANTILOPE
A film buff from an early age, Balthazar Pinto, aka Antilope, cites cinematography as the main inspiration for the songs he creates (as one could hear on his Exploited debut ‚Body Trouble'). His discovery of electronic music occurred in the early 90's, and he quickly fell in love with the scene and decided to become a part of it. Despite beginning to produce in 2000, he has only used the Antilope moniker for the past three years. With this project, he aims to "create music that breathes like a soundtrack, but in a more edgy, club kind of way.' (Earmilk)
About DEATH ON THE BALCONY
Leeds-born duo Death On The Balcony's distinctive brand of emotive house music has steadily grown to become one of the genre's most sought-after sounds. From edits for Soul Clap's free download series to releases on All I Day I Dream, SUOL, Pets Records, Culprit and Silver Network, they have graced many of underground house's most acclaimed labels and this is their first mark on Exploited.
About MATPAT
At a young age, Matthew Patrick Dodd was introduced to an eclectic mix of music from his family that would later be inspiration for his own burgeoning take on Electronic Music. By seven, his brother had him standing on milk crates so he could reach his first set of tables and by thirteen, he had already started playing classic records like Kraftwerk's "Tour De France" and Hard Drive's "Deep Inside." Matpat's sound is influenced by the producers that came before him. Detroit Techno, Chicago House and Disco from Philadelphia & New York (as well as his own productions) fill his DJ sets and have begun to distinguished him as a House Music Maven. His "Crush" EP was picked up by Terry Farley, the man behind Junior Boys Own. Mat's release on Stretch Armstrong's New York Dance Label, Plant Music received a 4/5 on Resident Advisor. Then he signed to Derrick Carter's label Persnickety for "The Chicago-Philly Combo" (which reached the Juno Records Top 5 Singles Chart). All this helped solidify Matpat as a house music DJ and Producer with a promising future. By the end of 2013, he released his track "Feel Your Body" on Samo Sound Boy & Jerome LOL's label Body High, as well as throwing invite-only parties at his loft in the "Eraserhood" area of Philadelphia. Now this is his second contribution to Exploited's Disco edit label Black Jukebox.

Sarcastic and obscure neo-italo-wave band Cristalli Liquidi once again steps into limelight with a third single on the equally mysterious Artifact imprint. Incubo Assoluto (which is Italian for "absolute nightmare" or so we are told) comes in a thick, pulsating synth mix as well as in a more straight and spread out version with just enough chugging guitar to mutate your dance moves from whirling disco dervish to robot rock. Lyrics are by Roberto "Freak" Antoni (known as frontman of 70s Italian punk band Skiantos who sadly passed away on february 12th this year). This is another ultra cool release on Bottin's Artifact label.

Quality reissue of Codek's highly sought-after first release from 1980. This hard-to-find 12' version features the incredible full length six minute version of 'Me, Me, Me' a funky slo-mo New Wave floorfiller that originally found favour with Baldelli, Loda etc. on Italy's early eighties Cosmic scene as well as the equally great instrumental 'Demo' version on the flip.

The KM Editions series, admirably helmed by the mysterious Keyboard Masher, has always been one of the more interesting re-edit/rework labels. Past installments have touched on krautrock, disco, Balearica, funk, Italo and what can only be described as electronic oddities. This sixth volume offers up three more impressively remixed, overdubbed and re-edited gems. There's naturally much to admire, not least the OMD style woozy synth-pop of "Stolen Shapes (Stealing Rework)", which should tickle the fancy of anyone of a Balearic disposition. The same can be said about the immersive, sun-kissed pianos and shuffling grooves of "Astral Playground". There's also a chunk of silly - but, perversely, rather good - French cod-reggae in the shape of "Le Cod", arguably our pick of a strong bunch.

Super hot limited vinyl reissue featuring two highly sought after 1981 Afro Boogie monsters by Nigerian songstress Oby Onyioha on the original Lagos based Time Records label. With production credited to Jake Sollo protegé Lemmy Jackson, both tracks here are stunning - 'Enjoy Your Life' is a proper funk bomb with heavy bass, gorgeous layered strings and a faultless vocal performance from Ms Onyioha while 'I Want To Feel Your Love' is an irresistible smooth sweet gem, with Oby's serene vocals light as a summer breeze over the top of a serious Afro boogie groove. Highly recommended!

The original gunslingers Phillip Lauer and Gerd Janson team up with their buddy Shan (his club hits "How you want it" and "Chord Memories" are still ringing in our ears) for two rough , but melodic power house cuts. The package is complete with an alternative version and the not to be missed Cole Rabies Beats for all the creative Djs. A Tuff City Kids delight.
