JACO aka KEN LASZLO contains SPANISH RUN ULTRA RARE ITALO DISCO 1983.

"This EP is super special for me not only because i was able to introduce a new instrument to the world via vinyl (how cool is that) but it was made with friends, and with the intention to put more music into electronic dance music. The song "Take A Dip" was recorded with Signor Andreoni on the beach in Sardinia, magical moment- simplistic but to a feeling! the other songs were made with Jordy Lockruf, a man who not only possesses an immense natural talent for string instruments, but also makes them by hand himself! We have taken this record as an opportunity to showcase the Mulatar, this beautiful all wood instrument, which consists of a bass, harp and percussions on the back and sides. The sound of this instrument is soo distinct because of the way it slides. It is a slide instrument, with wax contact to wood. At this point there have been 16 of them made by hand, and the sound of this beautiful instrument continues to mesmerize every time we play her." Jay Haze

Art Department, one of electronic music's most recognizable dance outfits announce the release of their eagerly awaited second studio album, 'Natural Selection', releasing through No.19 Music this November.

Jonny White, acting head of No.19 Music and Canadian techno legend, Kenny Glasgow make up the infamous duo known as Art Department, a collaborative project that has seen almost unparalleled success within the world of dance music in recent years. In 2010 the pair transcended genre barriers and paved the way for countless artists with their first single - 'Without You' which was awarded Resident Advisor's 'Track of the Year' and #1 track of the year at the 2011 Beatport awards paving their way to a level of success rarely achieved by underground artists.

Their critically acclaimed debut album, 'The Drawing Board' released on the prestigious Crosstown Rebels label; gave birth to a new sound that had drawn on the best cues from both artists. The LP was cited as an 'underground masterpiece' and credited with changing the musical landscape of the electronic underworld reaching #2 on iTunes and awarded 'Best Electronic Album' of 2011. In 2012 they reached yet another milestone when the duo were welcome guests on the legendary BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix and at the BBC's hallowed Maida Vale studios shortly before Vibe Magazine ranked them #2 DJ/Producers in the world, second only to Daft Punk, firmly establishing them as a rare thing in the world of electronic music.

'Natural Selection' sees Art Department expand upon their previous release, building a deeper and more mature and experimental sound that unravels through the duo's trademark murderous basslines, raw textures, expert production and distinctively melancholy vocals of Kenny Glasgow that have made them one of the most prolific writing/production teams in the industry .

Berlin based house producer, Aquarius Heaven and the infamous Seth Troxler, both partake with original vocal contributions in the form of "Kisses For Roses" and "Cruel Intentions" and blend effortlessly into Art Department's brooding, alternate reality.

'Natural Selection' represents the music, the story and Art Department's evolution from the projects inception until now, alongside Kenny and Johnny's personal journeys as individuals. Strewn with themes that centre on the cyclical idiosyncrasy of 'natural selection', Art Department explore a defined narrative throughout the LP; feelings of spiritual awakening and tranquillity, indecision and turmoil tell a story in which the beginning could in fact be the end. 'Natural Selection' is a diverse album in which Johnny and Kenny's inherently seamless production is in-fact a prerequisite to their existence.

Art Department's winter world tour celebrates the release of 'Natural Selection' and will see the duo take their immersive DJ performances to the world's most esteemed venues, festivals and No.19 Music label showcases around the globe from this month until early 2015. Art Department have been installed as residents at CircoLoco, at arguably the most revered club on earth - DC-10 (Ibiza) since 2010 and have performed at legendary venues and trendsetting festivals worldwide, including Panorama Bar (Berlin), Fabric (UK), Warung (Brazil), Output (NY), Ultra Music Festival (Miami), Lollapalooza (Chicago), Tomorrowland (Belgium), BPM (Mexico), Burning Man (Black Rock), Coachella (California) to name just a few.

The Natural Selection Tour will include some of these legendary venues as well as Art Department favourites and a series of intimate listening parties hosted by Art Department themselves.

Phrases such as "long awaited" or "much anticipated" are often taken lightly but rarely are these words ever as true as in this instance, as hundreds of thousands of die-hard fans anticipate the release of an artist LP that follows a truly classic, debut album that was so undeniably important to a modern day music movement.

The 7th release of 'House Mannequin' is inclusive three new house tracks.

Since AND002 when Derek Kaye offered his skilful reworks of Chaka Khan's 'Ain't Nobody' and Players Association's 'Turn The Music Up', his profile has gone from strength to strength with a dedicated SoundCloud following and a number of memorable club appearances, most notably at Motion in November 2013 when he shared the bill with A&R Edits curator Greg Wilson, closing the night with a back-to-back session - the first time the pair had DJ'ed together in over 30 years. A short film made about the night is online here:

For the next instalment of this in-demand vinyl-only imprint, Kaye makes a welcome return, lending his midas touch to two stone-cold classics, adding new musical elements (guitar courtesy of his son, Jack), stretching out the groove and warming up the bottom end for some serious dance floor business.

Written by Maurice White, Al McKay and Phillip Bailey, 'Saturday Nite' was first released in 1976 as a single and later included on the classic Earth, Wind & Fire LP, 'Spirit'. Here, Kaye masterfully revisits the production, bringing a contemporary touch to this timeless feel-good tune.

Next up is 'One Nation Under A Groove', the 1978 anthem by P Funk exponents Funkadelic, renamed here as 'For The Funk Of It'. The title track from their album of the same name, its lyrics refer to dancing as a way to freedom. The Derek Kaye rework features a newly added low-down funky guitar riff, again via Jack, that locks the groove from the first bar, before the opening lyrics (borrowed from 'Psychedelic Shack ' by The Temptations) cause guaranteed dance floor delight.

The prodigal prince of flying fauna. The illegitimate child of Zeus, whose lingering melodies have enchanted man anonymously since the dawn of time,
only to explode into the psyche now with deep, thundering, bass-hooves of fury.

After having phenomenal success from her album 'Home', Quantize Recordings proudly presents the 45 version of the title track which has been leaving worldwide audience enthralled since debuting on the recent album.
Originally from the Broadway music 'The Wiz', 'Home' has been totally recreated & reproduced for Tracy's Quantize album debut, and is available now on limited edition 7" vinyl.
The AA side is a remake of the Starpoint classic from 1982 'Bring Your Sweet Loving Back', capturing perfectly Tracy's classic R&B roots & styling.

Groove Line Records kick off our Autumn series of properly licensed rare disco / funk reissues with Mother's Finest 'Dis Go Dis Way, Dis Go Dat Way.'

Hailing from Macon, Georgia, Mother's Finest were certainly not just another Southern Funk/Rock group. Taken from their Another Mother Further LP and represented here in it's 12' disco form, 'Dis Go Dis Way, Dis Go Dat Way,' released as a single in 1977, exemplifies their raw, danceable Funk/Rock sound, raising them above many of their contemporaries.

A true force of nature 'Dis Go...' opens with a full on, dynamic afro-latin, and eminently danceable percussion sequence up to 0m46s. This sets the strong tone and tempo before making way for the Sly-esque heavyweight funk guitar and keyboard chops. From that point on the solid groove and incessant guitar riff grab hold tightly, only letting go for the oh-so satisfying ascending and desceding bridge sections which, along with the male/female synchopated vocal refrain of the title, ramp up the tension to a crescendo. At 5m30s the crescendo makes way for the dense afro-latin percussion to return for the final minute before this sometimes overlooked dance floor monster fades, leaving you thirsty for more.

On the flip is another single from the same album, the funky mid-paced groover 'Baby Love.' Featuring a tight, heavy, funk groove and the layered, passionate vocals of Joyce 'Baby Jean' Kennedy, 'Baby Love' more than matches anything released by Rufus & Chaka. Check out the incredible synthesizer lead at 1m45s.

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.

Groove Line Records' deluxe reissue of 'Dis Go Dis Way, Dis Go Dat Way' is an essential purchase for any serious Disco or Funk vinyl collector who demands the very best in quality vinyl pressings..

The occasional (but always excellent) Street Edits series returns, this time with a trio of high-grade scalpel works from Chicago re-edit hero Rahaan. As usual, the source material is dusty and obscure, and the reworks revelatory. "City Of Disco" is in many ways typical of Rahaan's work, with carefully cuts and loops being used to create a thumping, house style groove (admittedly one that pays due reverence to the source material). There's more of a celebratory, soulful feel about the impeccable "Strung Out", which turns a little-known disco-soul gem into a huggable dancefloor classic. Best of all, though, is "Brighten You Up", which sits somewhere between later electrofunk and early house; a proto-proto gem, perhaps. Either way, it's a killer.

Madrid's Synth Alien returns with a fresh EP out on Cyber Dance Records entitled 'Stellar Walker' that shows off his spaced-out and italofied influences in just the manner we've now come to expect from that label - slow-motion chugging synth workouts that are rich in atmosphere, confident in pace and arrangement and most importantly jam-packed with heavy riffing and piercing melodies from start to finish. Side A of the EP opens with "Come With Me", a dreamy and spacey slow-but-hard rocker that warms the ears up nicely before the second track "Hotel Chameleon" seals the deal with epic feeling and soaring melodic lines that break into an all-out synthesised feast of a climax. Side B continues with a collaboration with Moscow's Dmitry Distant 'L'Amour Est Parti', a romantically-tinged odyssey of relentless octave basslines that reaches even higher into new realms of future funk courtesy of a guest vocal from AKA INK before the EP closes with a monster of upfront determined electronic rocking called 'Smoke Comet', ending the record with a fitting cosmic crunch.

Paper Disco are back on vinyl ahead of their forthcoming Trash The Wax Vol. 2 and two totally exclusive tracks. Leon Sweet launches things with Sunny Bigler that has a Moroder style bass and plaintive male vocal designed to make grown men cry on dance floors. Italian master blaster shares the same side rocking his trademark edit chops with Games whch will only be seeing the light of day on this wax.

Turn it over and Yam Who makes an appearance with Natasha Watts and Paper tea boy Chris Massey on remix duties. It's floor heavy 4/4 disco with modern production and dynamics that will slot in to any discerning box. The second exclusive comes from Oslo young bucks De Fantastiske To who offer up a more house take on disco. Gimme Sum Dim Sum has a shuffling backbeat, lush keys and chords to give it an organic garage feel that tips a wink to the best that New York has to offer.

Rare reissue involved M. Farina

Brings the Discovery parties' blurring of techno, house, & disco to wax, as Chicago producer drops "Compton"s hypnotic vocals & "Olso"s dueling arps & spacey percussion. Remixes by Glasgow's OOFT! & Berlin's Nils Penner.

12 inches of love that go straight to the bedroom for a Slomo Disco & Funk party with Sleazy McQueen, The Noodleman & Osmose. Use only as directed behind closed doors! Hand stamped in natural chipboard jackets.

The mysteriously named 4M International was a side project of the production team behind short lived Italo group Trilogy ("Not Love", "Black Devil" etc). "Space Operator" is the only record the outfit recorded and is an ultra spacey, pitched down, cosmic anthem based around fellow Italian band Traks' "Drums Power" record, taking the rhythm track and adding a wealth of killer sound FX, synth washes and sinister vocoded voices inviting us to join them in some intergalactic space travel. Released in 1982 on Full Time records off-shoot Good Vibes, "Space Operator" would not sound out of place on DJ Harvey's infamous "Sarcastic" mix, this one's a real bullet for all the Italo, cosmic, esoteric Disco freaks.

"Space Operator" is a real rarity, with used copies often changing hands for collectors prices on-line.
Re-mastered, re-pressed and re-issued on vinyl for the very first time in conjunction with Antibe Music / Full Time records, Italy.

Back in 2007, Ministry of Sound released a groundbreaking and now legendary compilation series entitled 'Anthems'. 8 years later, no-one could of predicted that the series would go on to sell over 4.2 million copies in the UK alone.

Ministry of Sound have been at the forefront of dance music culture for well over 20 years, so who better to bring you this incredible 3CD collection detailing the history of house from its beginnings in Chicago in the mid 1980s right up to the present day.



We begin this incredible journey with the godfather of house music himself - the one and only Frankie Knuckles with his anthemic work 'Your Love', before we move into timeless classics from Marshall Jefferson, Inner City, Gat Decor and Crystal Waters and a wave of underground tracks which smashed their way into the charts in the mid 1990s: Bucketheads, Robin S, De'Lacy, Nightcrawlers and Todd Terry all feature. As we move into the new century on disc 2 we come across the original master of the remix in Armand Van Helden including 'You Don't Know Me' and his classic re-work of Tori Amos, next up are belters from Masters at Work, Pete Heller, Basement Jaxx, Sandy B, Danny Tenaglia, finally we end this ultimate anthology with the genres latest raw recruits, Disclosure, inspired by Ministry originators like Masters At Work and David Morales, deliver a sound that is both nostalgic and fresh alongside chart toppers such as Duke Dumont, Breach, Storm Queen and Secondcity.

Editions Haighton are homespun edits of dusty curios by Hotflush Recordings' Jack Haighton.

The first instalment of a quarterly series takes its cues from the Italian disco scene of the early '80s, reworking Cyber People's 'Void Vision' into a Hi-NRG burner fit for the early hours at a former power plant, and JM Band's 'Computer Monkey' into a loopy tool with frills.

Grimy keeps the heat on with a limited seven-inch from Windy City legend Boogie Nite. "Words" sounds like a forgotten classic from the legendary early 80s NYC downtown scene. The smooth disco arrangement and punk-funk vocals could have emanated from a dream session between Walter Gibbons and Lizzy Mercier Descloux. Feel-good Rhodes piano lays the melodic foundation as a gang of female voices ruminate on the rhythmic meaning of words. All the while, a shit-hot disco rhythm section keeps things in the pocket. This is a track that will light dancefloors up and have fellow djs flooding the booth for an ID. Expert Funk dub version on the B-Side. white/black swirl vinyl with custom Grimy graffiti logo.

DOC MARTIN'S SUB LEVEL LABEL WITH A KILLER DOUBLE HEADER FEATURING LABEL BOSS HIMSELF & THE MIGHTY DJ SNEAK.

Sixth Avenue Express have been gathering a lot of momentum recently with their mid tempo, emotionally charged productions striking a note with a larger and larger audience. While they have put out releases across a plethora of labels their home has always been at House of Disco Records and thats where SAE is now releasing their next solo EP titled 'I See'. Full of the clever touches and the warmth you've come to expect from them this EP delivers on every front.

The first, and title, track 'I See' sets the perfect tone, a breezy warm track to seduce to. With a haunting vocal and soft strings coupled with woozy base line its the driving keys that turn this track from a lullaby to confidently invigorating and fresh experience.

Second on the release and most dance floor friendly is 'Clandestine' and like the name suggests is best listened in a secretive and illicit location, like a sweaty basement party. This track is laden with the trademark chords that pepper a lot of Sixth Avenue Express productions but its strength lies in its amazing vocal treatments, which shift and grow to an epic level.

'There's No Time' acts a a decompression chamber after a night out, the perfect after party choice. With enough melody to remain positive but a hint of a dark soul 'There's no time' is as alluring as it is fun.

Finally there's 'My Love is Alive' which is the most joyous and optimistic track to see out the release. It brims with full keys, sustained strings and strong vocals. Ending on a high this tracks message is affirming on two fronts, and affirmation of love and an affirmation of the timeless nature of this release.

Another great Dance selection for this serie. 12 unmixed, extended & original versions. Including Bingo Players, Benny Benassi, Sick Individuals, Oliver Twitz,... and many more !!

Paqua unveil their debut album, Akaliko, a Buddhist word meaning 'Timeless' !
Back in 2012, a 12' slipped out with little fanfare that introduced a new transatlantic trio: Paqua. That record, the hazy, low-slung psychedelic rock masterpiece 'Dinosaur Zappa' was merely a taster; a year later, the trio followed it up with 'Late Train', a dub-soaked Balearic rock chugger that went on to become an anthem at open-air parties around the globe.

'Timeless' is an apt description for an album that bristles with sun-kissed beauty, fuzzy guitars, impeccable instrumentation and far-sighted late night charm.
It is, in essence, a perfect fusion of the renowned styles of its creators, British DJ/ producer Paul Murphy (AKA Mudd, famed for his deliciously Balearic compositions for Rong Music and his own Claremont 56 label), longtime collaborator Alex Searle, and Quinn Luke from New York's Phenomenal Handclap Band, an act renowned for their funk-fuelled, flash-fried take on disco-inspired rock. With these three at the helm, you're in safe hands.

The supporting musical cast includes Phenomenal Handclap Band drummer Patrick Wood, percussionist Patrick Dawes (famed for his work with Groove Armada), and Faze Action's Robin Lee, who provides cello on a number of tracks. It's a thoroughbred consortium that helps provide Akaliko with a textured musical richness that's never less than intoxicating.

Across the album's eight tracks, Paqua run through a range of styles, from the Latininfluenced shuffle of 'These Things Will Come' and disco-flecked dancefloor stormer 'Ruby Running Faker', to the blissful Balearic rock shuffle of 'We Are What We Are' and stoned dub-rock-disco shuffle of the title track, which builds in layers towards a breathless climax. The band's two acclaimed singles, 'Dinosaur Zappa' and 'Late Train', sound as resplendent as ever amidst such heady sounds.

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.

FIrst up is a tasty sampler feat some mighty fine artists including ED WIZARD & DISCO DOUBLE DEE the human edit machine RAYKO & that man from New Zealand DJ RAW SUGAR.

Session Victim love what they do. The pure joy they get from writing, producing and performing their unique blend of underground dance music oozes from their very pores, translating into pure good vibes for anyone witnessing the duo in action. As a label, we couldn't be more proud to see their growth and development from a couple of self confessed semi-reclusive studio geeks into the globe-trotting DJ's and headlining live-act they've now become. With their second LP for Delusions Of Grandeur about to drop it's easy to hear their constant drive to push themselves emanating from their new material. Never ones to stand still, the victims choose to draw influence and inspiration from their travels and the new surroundings they constantly find themselves in which, in the case of See You When You Get There, happens to be the beautiful city of San Francisco.

The new album marks a conscious progression in Freer & Relling's approach, evolving the sample-based production style that's won them plenty of fans since their emergence in 2008. Whereas their debut album was recorded in the duo's bedrooms, the new LP instead sees them embracing a full studio set-up, split between their own Hamburg-based studio and the fully-kitted out Room G studio in San Francisco. Despite being situated in one of the USA's most beautiful locations, the duo found little time for anything outside the work at hand. Time not spent in the studio saw them raiding the two-dollar bins of Amoeba Music for interesting records to sample. "Having access to a fully-equipped studio was like hitting the jackpot. It was a bit intimidating too - we thought 'if we cannot write the LP here, it's not in us'. A few days later we already forgot about this and were immersed in jamming and exploring," says Hauke.

Here we present the first part in a trilogy of LP samplers containing the piano- driven, percussion-heavy monster that is Never Forget, the uptempo psychadelic- tinged party funk of Stick Together, and finally the blissed-out West Coast beauty Hyuwee.

From the tropics comes Whiskey Disco, a sneaky re-edit label bent on dredging the decanter for diffident dancefloor genius
from latent disco perpetrators. It's loosely connected to Sleazy McQueen and his assorted cohorts.
Whiskey Disco #27, Ladykillers EP by YSE Saint Laur'Ant. YSE drops a sprinkling of femme fatale themed edits for this, his
third full EP, on Whiskey Disco. Whatever your Saturday night plans, this EP will have something suited. The low slung, synth
riddled Sunset Woman, the groove driven and emotive Crying Woman both sit snug on the A side, leaving the B side for even
more left-of-center grooves of Ghetto Woman and Psychodelic Woman. This EP further cements the foundation of YSE as an
amazing editor, producer and ... Ladykiller.

Joey Negro is the most well-known pseudonym of master British DJ/producer/remixer Dave Lee. Under a plethora of other monikers including Jakatta, Akabu, Doug Willis, Raven Maize, The Sunburst Band, Sessomatto, and Z Factor, Dave was one of the first artists to incorporate disco samples in house music when he began his production career in 1988.

His discography is undoubtedly as impressive as his knowledge of seminal house and disco, and now Joey/Dave puts it to good use with this album; a revisit to some of disco's most sparkly moments.

Rather than remixes in their modern definition this is a body of re-edits with the tracks given a new dimension to make them relevant and playable now. In many cases he has changed the drums, added percussion and sometimes keyboard parts but not totally ditched the music and started again as is often the way with straight up house remixes. This project is about utilising some of those fantastic original parts in a different way hat takes advantage of many of the songs classic status subtly teasing in familiar elements and dubbing them out.

First issue of the Salamanca edit series focussing on 70's disco sleaze.

In August of 2014 a request was sent out by Gilles Peterson for someone to issue the incredibly rare Brazilian LP Tam...Tam...Tam...!
This is because it's an extraordinary album, only issued once in 1958 as part of Mieco Askanasy's 1950s touring 'Braziliana' show. It's so rare not even Gilles Peterson has a copy.

The original music was written and produced with José Prates and as an album it stands out as a keystone in the development of the Brazilian sound that was to explode around the world in the decade to follow. This is the first time this landmark LP has been issued since 1958. An original, if you ever found one, would cost you in excess of £1000.

THE MUSIC:
The reason Gilles Peterson wanted this album reissued is because it is so extraordinary. Musically it works on a number of levels - firstly that the solid blueprint of 1960s Brazilian music runs throughout it. For example, if you listen to Track Three Side One 'Nana Imborô' you will hear 'Mas-Que-Nada'.

Secondly, the infectious rhythms, melodies and exotic sounds that emanate from this album are deep, raw and totally engaging. And the more you listen to Tam...Tam...Tam...! the more you hear its importance and influence.

This rare reissue comes at a crucial time, when in our connected and information saturated world few important things have escaped attention and reappraisal. Finding anything new and genuinely incredible is a rare feat.
