Permanent Vacation presents Bobby Bell, a super hot newcomer from Sweden!
While people are getting more and more frightened by each other; building walls instead of bridges, Bobby Bell tries to explore what makes us unified. He collects pieces of rhythm and senses that seem to have fall into oblivion in the city. The pieces that are the very constituents to keep the environment where we're living soulful and vibrant.
Bobby Bell thinks that the warmth and cold atmosphere of a city best can be described with crappy vintage synthesizers.

A long time coming, the first EP from the mysterious duo Bernadott finally reaches us. The Golem first heard those tracks last summer and noticed his body was moving beyond his control! He therefore decided he should immediately enroll these beat-smiths before the competition took notice.

Apparel Music gives life to a catalog of small size, APLMINI, 7-inch format.
Kisk gathers the first duet and this time they are young artists, a talented Russian guy, Maxim
Buldakov, and Stefano Esposito, only twenty years', Naples, Italy.
The work was built to give the feeling of listening to an old-school funk track, reworked. To get a
perfect project was also required to give a warm voice that unmistakable taste.
So "Funkin On" contains a special sample of the recording "Pushin 'On" performed by The Quantic
Soul Orchestra feat. Alice Russell, timeless, used with permission by Tru Thoughts Ltd. Enjoy!

Known for the 'DEEPER EDITS OF CHICAGO' 12s JDEEP is back along with THE SHOES' DCASTILLO for this debut 4 track edit 12 on DEAD AS DISCO. Four deep cuts carefully selected and skillfully edited to keep the party going. For fans of LTJ EXPERIENCE, SUPER EDITS, etc.

Scuba continues a strong run of form with his take on Yadi's 'Guillotine'.

Kult wächst nicht nur aus dem alten Original-Material, sondern der wirkliche Kult treibt auch auch neue Blüten. So ist das mit dem ZYX Italo Disco-Kult passiert!! Auf dieser Compilation befinden sich ausschließlich Titel aus den Bereichen Italo Disco & Euro Disco, die komplett neu produziert sind, sich aber sehr stark an den typischen Italo Disco Sound der 80er anlehnen.

Another top quality selection of wonderful sun-drenched obscurities from the Balearica camp. Kicking off with the brilliant instrumental version of Jago's 'I'm Going To Go' from 1983, this is Italo at its best with a super phat analogue B-line which sounds incredible on a big system. Massive on both the early Balearic scene as well as on the dance floors of Chicago and New York, this is an essential. Next up is the dreamy disco groove of Wolfgang Maus' 'Testimony' taken from his uber rare 1979 'Children Of The Universe' LP. Side B features the impossible to find but highly desirable 'It's Broken' by Bob Chance, an amazing nine minute slice of avantgarde disco rock grooviness that receives heavy rotation from DJs lucky enough to have found a copy like DJ Harvey, Rub & Tug and Soft Rocks. Finally rounding off this splendid compilation, you get the original Rolling Stones version of the Balearic favourite 'Heaven', back in demand recently after being covered by Kasper Bjorke. Excellent stuff!

This 12' contains remixes from Bjørn Torske's acclaimed Kokning album from last year. Here Torske gets remix

treatment from DJ Harvey (with Harvey on vocal!), fellow Norwegian Todd Terje and Italy`s Crimea X.

Limited reissue of 'The Party Scene', a stone-cold electro funk classic 12' from 1983. The only release ever by the mega-talented Russell Brothers (what a shame!), the production on this ultra-rare Portrait cut is years ahead of its time, and no other early hip hop producers came near to making a sound as immense and interesting as this. The 12' contains the superb party-starting short and long versions featuring a grinding electro groove topped with hypnotic driving melodies and great vocals plus the masterful instrumental which is darkly atmospheric with its sparse instrumentation, pounding bass drums and ominously ticking hi-hats. Don't miss this!

A few years ago I took a journey to Europe searching for a new sound.

People along the journey had been telling me about this guy from Tropea, Italy called DJ Steve (named after his favorite musician, Stevie Wonder).
He's a butcher there by day, but at night he's the DJ at a club called Casablanca. I made my way to this tiny town in the south of Italy and found DJ Steve.
His 12 hour DJ sets opened my eyes. This guy was the real deal. He was playing dubplates, vinyl, cassettes, and reel-to-reel's. All special edits he had done over the years.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
In late November of 2011 DJ Steve finally made his first visit outside of Italy and came to New York. He came on my Beats In Space radio show and blew everyone away. It was one of the most listened to mixes of the year. While he was in New York, I was able to record in a few of the dubplates of edits he had done. Those recordings are how we arrived at the release of "DJ Steve's Special Cuts #1 & #2". With this release we also started a new sub-label for Beats In Space Records. B.I.S. Records, Inc is for any of the edits or bootlegs we might come across. Expect to hear more from DJ Steve soon.

Joey Negro & The Sunburst Band serve up a brand new album of ragbag delights from the funkier genres taking in boogie, disco, funk and jazz to Go Go and down tempo.
Legendary UK electronic producer and DJ Dave Lee, aka Joey Negro, regroups with London's magical live nu-funk and boogie cult hybrid, The Sunburst Band. With members culled from the funkiest ends of Incognito, Jamiroquai and the Kyoto Jazz Massive, The Sunburst Band is unashamedly musical. Fulltime front man Pete Simpson is also known for lending his vocal talents to the Unabombers' alias, The Elektrons.

Persnickety Sounds is here to funk-ti-fy your world!
In this era of Nü-Disco, Space Disco, Cosmic Disco, Disco House and shit, there must be a beacon of quality to light the way and lead the faithful back to a place where good grooves matter and realness is holding court.
Let the labels fall and just get it movin'.

Golf Channel dip into the groundbreaking work of Spike once again. This time the title track from his 1983 New
Germany LP takes up the A Side, a filmic, taught drum machine and string piece. On the flip, DJ NATURE steps
up again to deliver a great rework, sounding not unlike Theo Parrish taking a pop at Punk Funk

Sub label of Lucky Hole - more pervy disco vibes from the people who know just where to stick it! TIP!
Velvet Productions brings to you a new adventure of 'special version' mixes!

Playful and alluring. Seductive and sleazy. A World where you can do what you are not supposed to, but no one is watching and nobody cares!

Cougarman and General... Zod (aka Gerry Rooney & Joel Martin from Velvet Season & the Hearts of Gold) invite you to have a good time and dance your troubles away!

'When Sally Met Mandingo' - A tale of love, lust, passion and deceit. Sally was beautiful, fun, playful and sexy. She was charismatic, highly intelligent and very treacherous! Mandingo saw himself as a player but was no match for Sally's seductive manipulation. She toyed with him as a Lioness toys with her prey. He was left crushed and heartbroken...but begged for more! Mandingo had found love at last!

BBC Worldwide radio presenter DJ Gilles Peterson played an exclusive dub plate version of 'When Sally Met Mandingo'! Also, New York Prelude remix god and international DJ Francois Kevorkian played 'When Sally Met Mandingo' at his underground party 'Deep Space' in Japan !

'Afro Symphony' entices with its hypnotic rhythms, played against a scene of Voodoo rituals, jungle lust and naked dancing girls who hope to be chosen for the ceremony and special attention! 'Afro Symphony' brings you the sound of the charge of the cavalry riding to victory, searching for love and finding it in all the wrong places! It felt so wrong but feels so right!

Homework from Amsterdam are back on Exploited. The guys have been busy with touring and remixing the likes of Duffdisco (Dsiko), David Keno (Noir Music), Andre Crom (Off) or S.K.A.M. (Gruuv). With another EP lined up on 2020 Vision, this one is their follow-up EP on Exploited entitled: 'Conversation Piece'. Since their 'Hudson Square' and 'Black Jukebox' Release (which have both become collector items with prices going up to 99€ on Discogs) the 2 dutch men have collected many new fans and followers and it's pretty save to say that Homework will release their first artist album on Exploited in 2013. Early support by a variety of DJs: From HUXLEY (2020 VISION), to ROUND TABLE KNIGHTS (MADE TO PLAY), ADRIATIQUE (DIYNAMIC), RAMPA (KEINEMUSIK), ALEX BARCK (JAZZANOVA), DYED SOUNDOROM (CROSSTOWN REBELS), ANDRE CROM (OFF), ADANA TWINS (EXPLOITED), FLASHMOB (GET PHYSICAL), DAVID KENO (KENO RECORDS), KASPER BJOERKE (HFN), TILL VON SEIN (SUOL), FRIENDLY FIRES (XL), MOSCA (HYPERCOLOUR) and more.

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. Indeed, he was in the studio making credible and outstanding British House music when many luminaries around him were still busy getting to grips with their decks. In 2011 little has changed and Dave is widely regarded as one of the most commercially successful and in-demand artists on the global scene.

So what is After the void ..We Bang the Bomb of course with a lady in a thong surrounded by snakes and hand grenade's, obvious really! Having been away for some time it appears that a Light Sounds Dark spring is in the air. En route to their next destination (rumoured to be a dark subterranean world full of nasty mutants 'Danger electrified tracks' out this Summer) with arms out the window and the mothership roof down, it's full steam ahead and proper European dance music time.

Not really train spotting as before although a couple are a bit off piste like Malta's very own Ian Dury by the name of Iain Richardson rapping about sitting on a green bus! much more like it however are classic Italo covers of 'Big in Japan', 'Gloria', a wonderful new wave version of Falco's euro smash 'Der Kommissar' and The Thoughts massive German hit 'Wait a Long Time' sounding like some long lost Talk Talk record. Light Sounds Dark do some minor tweaking (going for that natural look) to big beast anthems Axodry's 'You' and Colme 111's 'You Take Me High' (early euro take on Chicago) and for lovers of something a bit more funky there's some groovy goings on from Kraut funksters Epsilon urging people to 'Leave The City' which might not be a bad idea if the water runs out.

Limited white vinyl from Hypercolour, 4 track EP

This cheeky bootleg comes from a well know viking, who has released on labels such as Koze's Pampa Records and Hypercolour imprint, Glass Table. 4 tracks of super-fun, tongue-in-cheek house party classics

limted repress

A limited chance for you to get your hands on this achingly-rare Panda Records track 'People Hold On'. Originally released in 1984, this stylishly classy record feels like undiluted house brought to you from before house even existed! Super-tight production skills from Wuf Ticket's James Mason pull together a goosebump-inducing bassline, deeply hypnotic synths and tantalising handclaps topped off with Earl Flint's elegantly sexy, meltingly cool vocals to deliver a masterpiece in early 80s NYC groove. Backed with a much in-demand killer instrumental version, this record is almost impossible to find out there on the wax market. Killer electro house on quality remastered vinyl - an absolute must have. People don't hold on !!!

The second release on Flight Recorder is a truly international affair with a 4 track EP by innovative producers from Italy, Chile, Australia and UK providing over 30 minutes of music.
Side A opens with Mushrooms Project's dense and beautiful psychedelic groover, whilst the second track continues with Dany Dorado's deep and tough disco stomper.
Side B goes into deeper territory, with Russell Ventilla's 303 bubbling under a throbbing bassline, then finally the closes with Iron Blu's Italo-tinged deep and psychedelic dancefloor mover.

Now they've got the messy business of establishing 100% quality out of the way, those lovely chaps behind the SLEAZYBEATS BLOG Dutch/Danish imprint Sleazy Beats Recordings make ready with their 10th and FINAL release in this series.
For SBR10, they've secured the unfathomable talents of Mr. Frank Booker. The New-Zealand based producer who Co-Hosts the acclaimed Hit It & Quit It radio show with none other than Recloose.
He doesn't put out much music (a handful of EPs over the past few years on class imprints such as Untracked, Japan's Wonderful Noise and Fine Art), but when he does get his hands dirty in the studio, the results are invariably exceptional.

Frank's chuggy, fuzzy, understated drums and driving basslines are some of the finest in the game, and he has found a way of weaving samples of old and forgotten soul nuggets into his productions that is neither obvious nor easy, layering sound upon sound and effect upon effect while still letting a track 'breathe' and retain the natural swing of the source material.
As it happens, the 'Fall Out EP' features some of Frank Booker's finest work to date. Title track 'Fall Out' is an irresistable uptempo peak time nugget that cleverly walks the line between moody deephouse and organic disco. Flip over for 'Boss', a pearl of a midtempo track with loads of oomph and drive that keeps building and building. On 'Points', the closing track of the EP, Frank Booker conjures up an infectious beatdown groove with a killer bassline.

The sleeve features pictures of fans of the label with their records from all over the world !

Gramme spluttered into life in 1996, high on the fumes of 99 Records, ESG, Liquid Liquid, Factory's ACR, New Order & Daft Punk's album 'Homework'. Their ambition was to make raw, accessible and deeply pleasurable party music for those left cold by the tired and uninspiring sounds of big beat. Gramme and the Output imprint paved the way for a new musical movement and was influential in the early sound of New York's DFA and bands like The Rapture and The Juan Mclean.
Now, in 2012, this joie de vivre has never bean more apparent. Their first release in 6 years, EP2.1 came out in March and flew off the shelves, as did Hot Chip re-edits of classic Gramme tracks 'Like You/Mine' which was released on a New York bootleg imprint.
Now 'Too High' EP drops this June. This new EP on the band's own imprint Physical Release Recordings takes the Gramme sound to yet new musical echelons. 'Too High' is an addictive hypnotic, anthemic ode to the dancefloor. 'Headsore', a bleepy, intensely spirited whirl of inner verve being released through musical veins. 'I'll Make It Up' takes the pace down with a seductive clicky groove, oozing a lush yet melancholic vibe that will make the hairs on the back of one's neck tingle. And then there's 'I Can't Resist', a contemporary slice of post-punk funk heaven.

But you should definitely, ahem 'go for this' ! A top notch 2011 housed-up update of the 1981 Hall & Oates stomper

This uplifting single CD mix features Hed Kandi favourites by A-List producers including Mark Knight, Chris Kaeser, Stonebridge, Crazibiza, Sandy B, Richard Grey, Reza & K-Klass, My Digital Enemy and Dirty Freek to name a few.
Hed Kandi presents a custom made mix for the sunshine and showcases a sunlit spectrum of music to enjoy any time of the year. A Taste of Kandi: Summer 2012

Human Woman is the new signing on hfn music, made up of two very promising artists from Iceland; Gisli Galdur (aka Galdur) of prolifi c Icelandic band Trabant, and producer Jón Atli Helgason (aka Sexy Lazer).

Hot on the heels of volume 12 and with a familiar Let's Get Lost face at the helm, volume 13 welcomes Jacques Renault aboard once more and he's jumped genres yet again! After the relentless house edits of his last LGL voyage this release sees him return to the familiar waters of synthesizer prodded orchestral disco for the first two tracks and a saxophone and choir led afrobeat gem to round things off.

Next up on the docket - we slow things down ... just a touch .. and welcome in a cast of new players along with a familiar face for the next installment on the Kolour mother-ship.
Some of you might recognize the name "Klic" from the wildly popular release on the brilliant Home Taping Is Killing Music release from last year that featuring the smash hit "Disco Music". Teaming up with fellow Londoner Lokiboi .. Klic makes their Kolour Recordings debut in sublime fashion with a couple of heavy, lo-slung joints. Remixing duties also see another Kolour Recordings debut with the talented hands of Frank Booker & join us if you will as we welcome back our old pal .. secretsundaze own Ethyl to round things out.

Razor sharp futuristic textures from the Bristol based producer, dropping one of his deadliest EPs to date. Stratagalastico is an absolute bomb of machine-made dynamite, dark and deadly for those who like to lurk in the shadows. Creepy shenanigans are most certainly the order of the day, but with that said, Marco ends the EP with a deep, melodic piece titled 'Bugs In The Virus', a transcendent composition that enriches the Stratagalastico experience and completes the package. Killer

After much demand for a vinyl release the duo asked to make a short run of their latest remixes and were delighted to gain permission to release this legit but very limited 12".
Only 300 copies worldwide, don't sleep cause when they're gone, they're gone!!

The concept of climactic and chassis shaking is synonymous with Rayko. And his vision does not disappoint. It draws you in and layer by layer, this structurally more simplified midnight burner slowly but surely intensifies - through its reliance on chunky bass, trademark mid-point vocal introduction and heavy use of synths. It is both playful and a little bit naughty. Destination dance floor.

Time & Space Machine twist the grain and strip it back towards a more minimal mood with their inviting exploration. Whilst embracing the subtle elements of the original, this remix is quite transformational with its gracious representation and varying cultural influences. The clever use of vocal and instrumental interplay is particularly dreamy and enables the listener to feel as if this unfurls like sunrise. Atmosphere plus.

Greg Wilson personifies deep groove and his heady remix is all about its big, bad bass line. Opening with drum kicks that could send the neighbours into a tailspin, this is soon accompanied by flickering synths and haunting upper level harmonies. The chugging bass is complemented by the vocal introduction in the middle section and whilst grounding this somewhat, it also flies with an unmistakably sharp touch.

Rounding off this selection perfectly, Toby Tobias proves, once again, his capacity to take a track and make it his own with this stunning down-tempo remix. Tobias' interpretation offers an unassuming alternative. Seductive in its progression, it is a golden thread of lightness and beauty. The eloquently funky mood is enhanced by a more diverse selection of drums, gentle use of pads and trills. This is perfectly balanced with a waving bass line and a subtle, teasing vocal, ensuring that this is as smooth as silk and elegantly ethereal.

Finnish DJ crew Rollomatik break out on the Boogie Boutique imprint with a two track release that aims to represent the Arctic Circle fully in the nu funk/breakbeat scene. Formed of Hesh & Eaves, Rollomatik aim to rock the party and that much is evident on this cheeky 12" with "We Love To Party" deftly blending Will Smith with Chic amidst a melange of other recognisable samples. A similar approach runs through flipside jam "The Greatest" as Rollomatik lay down the vocal from an oft used Q-Tip solo joint over a heavily filtered take on Sister Sledge's most ubiquitous track.

Very welcome remastered reissue of the ultra-rare 1982 cut 'You Can't Have It' from cult NYC boogie label TNT Unlimited Inc. Mixed by the legendary Tony Humphries, this excellent cut is hugely dancefloor-friendly featuring a massive feisty vocal performance along with some top bongo action and a killer groove. Backed with a superb dubbed-out instrumental version, this is a stone-cold killer and deserves a place in any serious boogie or funk collection. Essential!
