Zafsmusic.com continues to bring you the rarest disco & boogie bangers with his new compilation titled 'Private Wax' Vol 1. 15 scintillating excursions into the deep disco & boogie world of privately pressed & produced gems. Zaf Zafsmusic is a disco weasel of the highest order. He has, by his own admission, got it bad-losing sleep and suffering physical maladies from the want of certain must-have pieces of stamped vinyl. Fortunately, he also has excellent taste and a lengthy history of wheeling and dealing with other similarly afflicted individuals, a history that has allowed him to sift the wheat from the crap, err, chaff, as it were. As a long-time staffer of the notorious Reckless Records on Berwick Street, a hotbed of vinyl commerce in the Soho section of London, these skills were no doubt put to the test on a daily basis when dealing with the continuous influx of hustlers hoping to offload their by-and-large worthless wax at the shop. Faced with this parade of the common and shoddy, it takes a keen eye to single out the precious stones buried in the seemingly endless expanse of decent-but-ordinary (not to mention the middling-to-awful) records that comprise most collections. Our stalwart selector has also travelled an even more treacherous terrain: the world of online sellers. Without recounting any gory digital battle stories, suffice it to say that the online world inhabited by some vinyl obsessives is a rather scary place. It is without any sarcasm that I offer my sincere gratitude to Zaf for the yeoman's work he has put in discovering the tunes herein. So, while I still encourage all neophyte disco enthusiasts to get themselves a firm grounding in the classics before attempting to swim in the uncharted waters of small-label, independent releases, if you are ready to do so then Zaf is your man. Like some ancient mariner of disco, with this collection he has artfully navigated from haven to haven, avoiding the immense Sargasso Seas of medio

The idea of a good night of dance music being a secular, group experience that can make you feel good is a necessary thing when times are hard. We're not religious people, but as a DJ, you're always trying to create that sense of communion' - JOE GODDARD, THE 2 BEARS The legendary Todd Terry is behind the latest EP and remix package from The 2 Bears available on Southern Fried from August 28th. A joyous amalgamation of Chicago tinged house and freestyle dub adventures, Terry further enforces The 2 Bears manifesto of late night hedonism and introduces warm and inviting undertones to his dub stylings of Get Together and Ghost & Zombies.
Taken from the much lauded debut album Be Strong, an album that delighted clubland and critics in equal measure, these remixes are a further tribute to Joe Goddard and Raf Rundell's shared passion for the communal, uniting forces of dance music.

The Gomma label looks to Venezuelan Grammy winners Los Amigos Invisibles and the ever-excellent Dimitri From Paris for their latest single, a cover of the Chaz Jankel classic 'Glad to Know you' backed with a remix from Ray Mang Los Amigos Invisibles have had an all-encompassing career taking them from the streets of Caracas, Venezuela in the early nineties to the stage of the Grammy awards in 2010 via just about every corner of the globe. Along the way they hooked up with legendary DJ/Producer, Dimitri from Paris who met them through Louie Vega in New York, Dimitri went on to produce their 'Venezuela Superpop' album as well as featuring the outfit on his own recordings. Now the Los Amigos Invisibles/Dimitri pairing is back for a brand new single on Germany's leading eclectic electronic label Gomma.'Glad to Know You' was originally a big hit for funk heavyweight & Ian Dury collaborator Chaz Jankel in 1982, now Los Amigos Invisibles and Dimitri From Paris take up the reigns with a cover version that is both true to the original and unique. Heavily delayed drums, warm bass and swirling FX roll around the funk laden guitar licks, uplifting keys and infectious vocals to create an instant floorfilling classic. For those who prefer things a little less vocal, there is a superb instrumental to accompany the original.To complete the package remix duties are handed over to UK production powerhouse Ray Mang who delivers an epic, near eleven minute long dub version that has Balaeric classic written all over it, quality stuff!

Just One Touch has been a long time coming but it emerges as a classic ode to house past and present. Porto based producer Social Disco Club was sat on the track for two years before Miss Bee added her dusky vocals. Frayed and taught with emotion, her voice works in harmony with the gritty analogue sounds that drive the track.Where the original demands attention, the instrumental version shows a more subtle route to the floor. Tucked away on the b2, the absence of the full vocal allows the weighty drums and Detroit influences to come to the fore. With space to breathe the elements of the track begin to shine; restrained pads become expansive and the gurgling bass line rises to the fore. On remix duty are Parisian duo The Mekanism and Melbourne's man of the moment Francis Inferno Orchestra. The French pair weigh in with an upfront interpretation, working in some modern bounce to the feel good 90s vibe of the original.Where The Mekanism straighten out Just One Touch to create a smooth, effective DJ tool, Francis Inferno shakes things up, adding an element of chaos with his Piano Jam remix. Unhinged keys frequently break through spacey atmospherics, falling away to place emphasis on drums that beat assertively between house and techno.Under The Shade confidently cover all the bases here, with a standout original and reworkings from a pair of fast-rising young production outfits able to deconstruct the influences poured into their sources.

Keeping the Love alive, the fourth release on Eddie C's Red Motorbike imprint is another big sound on a small format
Softmore teams up with Ted Pilsner on this one, and it's another duo of deliciously looped up funk-outs of the highest order Pressed in Hamburg.
Stamped personally by Eddie in Berlin. Limited numbers!

Here we go again! The Heels Of Love strike gold once again with their new single 'Flight 707' on Nang. It arrives accompanied by a strong brace of remixes from Jadoo, Billy Bogus, and Braking Dogs. Boom!
Kicking off the A-Side Jadoo delivers a storming effort. The vibe is nice and relaxed, and the arrangement is crisp and bold. It's a beautiful interpretation that would sit perfectly at the beginning or end of any discerning DJ's set.
To follow, Billy Bogus takes us deep into the foggy twilight world of the Italian disco club scene with his amorphic envisioning of the 'Flight 707.' There's all kinds of strange things at work here, you've just gotta hear it!

Martin SolveigÉs ËThe Night OutÊ is well known to the music world, its familiar beat and lyrics were a good hit. But now a couple of DJÉs have got the song by the scruff of the neck to produce their own remixes of this song. These include A-Trak, Madeon, TheFatRat, Maison and Dragen and even Solveig himself.A-Trak is a Montreal born DJ who is pretty big on both the electro-house and hip-hop scenes; you probably know him mostly as half of Duck Sauce. From the start of this remix, it sounds very similar to the original but with a more intense main beat. The vocals are still the main body of the build ups and transitions; but then I heard the drop. A-Trak goes big and drops a very funky electro beat that really develops and gets more intense. It hits hard and works really well!

Crystal Waters can do anything. Twenty-two years ago she came into my life singing about the homeless gypsy woman who still fancies herself beautiful. Now she guest appears on Yolanda Be Cool's follow-up to their 2010 smash "We No Speak Americano" with another explosive dance number. Le Bump has Waters in all her jazzy, smoky glory, purring about, well, doing the Bump as the song tears forth like the Charleston with a disco beat. Take notice: it's very new, but it'll be a big, big hit for Yolanda, who seems to have a knack for reconfiguring the Roaring Twenties and turning it cool again
