The first World Unknown 12' of 2012 is a double header of throbbing midtempo techno and as with all World Unknown releases from now on both tracks have been mastered for vinyl from ½ inch tape for maximum sonic excellence.

On Side W Semtek from Don't Be Afraid joins forces with his afterparty alter-ego Chardonnay and a certain rather well known OG hipster poet on 'Tacos For Dinner', an extremely modern and massively psychedelic trip into the outer mind. This clicking, bleeping, fizzing and throbbing ten minute excursion has been road tested from acetate by Andy Blake for many months and always sends the club somewhere very special and ever so slightly scary.

On Side U Scott Fraser delivers 'Remains The Same'. It's a notch or two less pacey than side w but no less powerful or psychedelic. It's earthy vibe and pounding, throbbing tones have been part of Andrew Weatherall's sets for some time now and it's not hard to see why. When the full percussion finally comes crunching in like a breakbeat on top of the ever-present heavyweight bassline it's disco pandemonium time.

In short, possibly the best 12' so far from WU. Let's see where 2012 takes the label.

Welcome to the world's third most famous Olsen after Fred and the twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley. It's called Olsen, of course, because the man behind it, Terje, bears that name. Although many people in the industry know all about Terje's exploits - a mysterious encounter with Neverland, DJing hither and thither and becoming a top remixer de nos jours - but little is known of his amazing pedigree.

Smalltown Supersound is proud to present the first single taken from Idjut Boys' debut album, Cellar Door, that will be released in 24th July on Smalltown Supersound.



The 12" is a one sided single and is limited to 500 copies worldwide.

The seasoned Portuguese production duo that go by the name of Johnwaynes are back for their third outing on Let's Get Lost. A gospel disco banger on one side and blissed out whispering house on the other, essential!

Complete with deluxe packaging and 180g vinyl
London summer 2011.......the fires rage, the mobs pillage, the politicians dawdle and tucked away in a small oasis of calming bliss somewhere in Hackney, Dan Keeling beavers away on new Bubble Club material.

new Label with Remixes by Andy Ash & Matthew Kylie!!

'If it isn´t broken don´t fix it' goes the saying. And that is definitely the case with Luv Shack 002. After a brilliant opening with 001 why indeed change a winning recipe So the good people of Luv Shack have done the right thing and opted with another sampler from the same personal and another stonking EP from the boys from Vienna. The exciting thing about the last release was the consistency with all four artists and tracks picking up props from various parts of the Globe. The quality control department at Luv Shack records is obviously in supreme working order with yet another fantastic four for the floor to report on.

Once again, LeSale leads the way like he did on LUV001 with 'On the Beach' First thing that hits you is the pull on that bass string. It wobbles from here to eternity and I got to question the size of the fingers of the Mutha that pulls that string. Got the build ups too with some big multi-tier action. Not just happy to sit in monster groove, it´s got some serious breaks and some shake downs that take you definitely to the next level. All about building it up, yeah!

The return too of Burnin Tears is most welcome. Super tight and precise, and with a beautiful warmth and lush deepness. The sort of track I wanna hear in complete darkness. Big claps and hypnotic snyths hold 'How I Feel' together, and the pitched down vocal snippet is just plain sexy. I sometimes wish everyone would talk in real life pitched down to this sort of sound.

The B-Side gets off to a flyer with Jakobin & Domino. The nice big healthy dosage of 'Jack' in this track is sure to make this a big winner right around peak time. The big throbbing bass also is bound to bust out a sweat in some unsuspecting punter on a dancefloor somewhere.

And as last time, Mr Lee Stevens brings up the rear with 'Reapers of Luv'. Last not least is an apt saying too in this case with this being an absolute stormer and wonderful musical journey. A monstrous moody looping rhythm and some magical interplay make this an epic track to get things really going. Huge!

Alan Brown, Soul Seduction, Vienna

Foot & Mouth goes all purple with a superb four-track dedication EP to his majesty. Cheeky as you like and twice as funky!

Another critical release, following the deadly DJs Pareja single of last month. Perfectly timed and cued after the recent Raudive long-player on Stefan Goldmann's Macro label. Raudive is Oliver Ho's darker, more 'new-wave' operative, and these latest productions have caught the attention of the folks at History Clock - and it's a perfect alliance. The 'Levels EP' is a debased mix of sleazy, after-hours acid-dancehall with the icy cool of minimal, machine-music dynamics. Essential, in a word.

New label Sunkissed Records brings you the first in a series of fantastic compilation 12's featuring choice Balearic moments from different artists with the spotlight focused this time on blues rockers Fleetwood Mac. Kicking off the beach party is Arthur Baker's incredible extended dance version of the Mac classic 'Big Love' that became an staple at the early Ibiza parties as did the next track 'Ricky', a lost 7' B-side also caned on the White Isle in the late 80s. Finally on this side is the more up-tempo disco-tinged 'Keep on Going' keeping the floor moving. Kicking off the B-side is the mesmerisingly dreamy groover 'Hypnotised' a true Balearic classic followed by two more sunkissed delights, the sublimely sensual 'Brown Eyes', and finally 'World Turning' a bluesy stormer with some amazing percussion that also found much favour in Ibiza. An essential slab of vinyl and a must-have for that perfect sunset record box.

Three funk and disco classics touched by the hand of Todd on the first DM of 2012!

Some of you might know NYC's Marcos Cabral from his work as half the duo Runaway. Together with Jacques Renault, Runaway has stacked up a slew of releases and remixes over the past few years. The labels they've worked for include, DFA, Rekids, Wurst Music Co, Chinatown, I'm A Cliche, Crue-L, Mule, Endless Flight, Need Want, Fina, Solar Disco, Aus, Under The Shade, Plant Music, Turntable Lab, Spectral, Playout, Permanent Vacation, Nervous, Ohm, Tartelet, and their very own label On The Prowl. Their resume is very telling of their musical abilities. This year, Marcos has decided to push the envelope even further and create something a bit more personally reflective...his new label Hamilton Dance Records. Just as the label artwork foreshadows, the presentation becomes blurred. Edits, originals, creative sampling, it's all lumped together with a certain vision. Special dance-floor tools being the most obvious.

Volume six of the limited edition strictly vinyl only GUYNAMUKAT Afro Disco Boogie Edit series has arrived with four deliciously trimmed and tucked edits to delight your record bag and excite your dancefloor.Side one kicks off with a very obscure but none the less irresistable slab of female vocal boogie from the golden year of 82.... ''Shake It Baby'' has a throbbing wobbly disco bass with a memorable chorus.
A2. Low Slung Disco does exactly what it says on the tin.....Gently easing in with some slap bass boogie before those glorious Vince Montana-esque strings drama kick in to hipnotic effect. On to the flip we head to the Carribean Islands for some reggaefied feel good sun kissed tropical disco with some obligitory steel drums for a dramatic finish.The 12 ends with a holy grail Nigerian afro boogie obscurity which an original copy sold for an unbelievable $2,000 in 2006 !! GUYNAMUKAT make one single track from the two different versions on the album tightening up the groove accordingly and making good use of those synths and the funkier elements of the track. Early DJ support comes from Pat Les Stache,Faze Action,Suonho,Volcov,LTJ Experience etc

Black belt disco choppers Marvin & Guy board the runaway Let's Get Lost train with two housed up disco edits under their hats. Two very well known tracks get a very unexpected dose of medicine and the prognosis is very good indeed.

Brilliant EP featuring four killer Italo classics from cult new wave label Italian Records. All from 1983, these tracks highlight the label's successful move into the burgeoning Italo-disco sound with three of the cuts mixed by legendary producer Tony Carrasco (part of seminal Italo outfit Klein & MBO) who tweaked the bands' post-punk electronic songs into epic disco/proto-house tinged soundscapes.

essential baby !!!! repressed now !!

IS IT BALEARIC continue a very fine run of form, with another essential 12 from newcomer Aihki, featuring a great rework from Canada's hottest Disco export Eddie C !

Reissue of the original Samba records 12 ' release of two superb and hugely in-demand funky Afro disco monsters 'Sexy Dancer' and 'Step On' by Nigerian funkster Harry Mosco. Originally released in very limited numbers back in 1980 on the tiny Samba record label, both tracks are amazing with super funky B-lines creating a wicked afro party vibe. The original changes hands for big bucks and has become even more in-demand recently after both tracks stood out on the much heralded Kon & Amir compilation. Top quality disco!

Magic Wand is a secretive side label project from IS IT BALEARIC
This is their fourth release in the celebrated series, and comes jam-packed with four fantastic Balearic wonders, respectfully extended and amended
Magic
As always, only one limited pressing will be available

Parkway is a new label Mark has set up to reflect the freedom and energy of the 80's dancefloor, albeit rewired with super 21st century sonics

'Working Girl' picks up where his incredible release on Endless Flight last year left off, shimmering synths, booming bass lines, soaring vocal samples and crisp rhythm programming
It's a beautifully uplifting groove, that's much more than the sum of its parts - dancefloor dynamite and we just can't get enough of it !

A SELECTION OF REMIXES AND EDITS FROM THE LIKES OF RAY MANG / GREG WILSON / FAZE ACTION / BRENNAN GREEN & YAM WHO

Daniel Solar is one half of Dikso, the excellent edits imprint responsible for many a disco-rinsed dancefloor burner over the last year. The Hannover native is also one of Berlin's emergent talents, a DJ, producer, label owner and A&R intent on bridging the gap between disco and dance music, while coaxing the techno-loving city's tastes a little further off the beaten track. As a child of the early 80s, Daniel was strongly influenced by synth pop and dance music, before rap and hip hop caught his imagination and inspired his first forays into production. Once he had finished school, Daniel became more and more and intrigued with house and techno, clubs and raves, and his studio style expanded to take in electro, techno, and deep house until we arrive at today and his latest release: Too Much Light EP.

OM OFFSHOOT SMOKE N MIRRORS WITH A KILLER RELEASE FROM HOT TODDY (CRAZY P) MIXES FROM THE HUE & RON BASEJAM

The Lumberjacks in Hell imprint does a great job in sniffing out dancefloor-friendly re-edits and reworks that eschew the usual tried-and-tested formulas. This latest missive features a mixed bag of reliably groovesome oddities. There's the disco-jazz madness of Jamie 326's "Can You Feel It", and three wide-eyed bangers from the hitherto unknown Boogie Nite. Of these, the most obviously upbeat is the loopy funk/soul strut of "Do Your Thang" and James Brown-ish "Sexy Sexy Sexy". Most interesting of all, though is "Earth Calling Mickey", a Balearic disco weird-out that sits somewhere between oddball house and head-nodding disco

After the great success obtained for first 3 volumes, here is number 4, especially realized for the Winter Music Conference 2012 . Great names for this new edition : Michael Procter ( Soulfuric ), Marshall Jefferson.. one of house music founders, TnT Inc. feat Donald Sheffey, ... and many more !!!

Hold tight, this is a big one right here!

The NYC edit master Kon (from Kon & Amir) has, after a bunch of hyped reworks on Hands Of Time, BBE and On Track delivered Basic Fingers a 12" with two killer disco reworks.
We start with Windy City "Chicago", a fierce disco edit that Kon twisted just the right way! Its playful and soulful disco at its very best.
But the highlight of the release is possibly hidden on the flip. Here we get a +10 min uplifting disco rework of Sylvesters high energy hit "Mighty Real" which now sounds way fresher (and better) than the original if you ask us. Yes, we're talkin' real dance music on Basic Fingers....a label with the goods

All the latest Afro / Nu-Disco studio creations contained inside this brand new compilation. You will find a lot famous producers as Fabiomaker, Matteo Madde', Ottomix, DJ Sanny J, .... and many more !!! Collectible item for those of you who love this sound !

NEW OFFSHOOT FROM GIANT CUTS FOR THE MORE SLO MO / HOUSE STUFF. 1ST UP IS UP & COMING PRODUCER 78 EDITS AKA JAMIE BUCHANAN FROM EDINBURGH A REAL TALENT IN THE MAKING HE HAS A TRACK UP COMING ON THE NEXT HOUSE IS THE CURE EP. DJ SUPPORT: SLEAZYBEATS / RAYKO / DEADLY SINS / MAZI & MORE..

Fantastic limited reissue of John Ozila's killer funk album from 1979. Released on French label Disques Vogue, this super-rare LP is chock full of amazing Afro and Latin flavoured disco/boogie gems including the cosmic disco classic 'Funky Boogie'. Previously a fiercely-guarded record collectors' secret, this blisteringly hot and energetic disco workout has recently gained massive new wave of fans after the Pilooski edit of it featured in a TV ad. The album also features joyous afro-boogie bubbler 'Let's Go Boogie', the great brassy salsa-funk of 'Vamos A Bailar' and superb hypnotic spacey groover 'L'Orange Bleue'. Top quality release!

Fantastic sounding reissue of The Fresh Band's highly sought-after 1984 classic 'Come Back Lover'. Produced by The Strikers' Darryl Gibbs and mixed to maximum effect by the one and only Tony Humphries, this super cool disco boogie floor-burner made it big in the Underground dance clubs of Chicago & New York, receiving heavy rotation from legendary DJs like Mancuso, Levan and Ron Hardy. One of only a handful of releases on obscure NY label Are n' Be, the original on the A-side features a super-uplifting piano, a hypnotic bassline (later sampled by Bob Sinclar), an über-tight slap guitar and silky smooth vocals all melting together to create a euphoric slice of funky heaven! On the flip, we have the astounding nine minute Tony Humphries Dub Mix which moves towards a deeper, headier groove, with atmospheric echoing vocals and mind-blowing piano breaks. Great stuff!

Limited edition double header of superb early 80s disco funk classics from Trinidadian singer Jimmy Ross. Originally released on renowned Canadian label Quality Records with musical production handled by Italian super-producers Stefano Pulga and Luciano Ninzatti, also known as Kano, both cuts were given a New York spin in the extended remixes featured here. Paradise Garage legend Larry Levan took over the helm for 'First True Love Affair' creating a swirling heavy hypnotic dancefloor bomb. Unbelievably sexy and insanely funky, this rocks the floor every time. On the flip is the long version of 'Fall into A Trance' remixed amongst others by Turntable Orchestra's Hippie Torrales who at the time was resident DJ at New Jersey's infamous Zanzibar club. Also 100% tuned to the dancefloor, this showcases Mr Ross's raw soulful vocals perfectly with a sleazy low-slung grinding funk backdrop. Sadly Jimmy Ross only produced a handful of singles during his career but thankfully among them were a couple of the best disco tracks ever made. Essential!

After years of absence on the music scene, international techno superstar CJ Bolland returns with a big track that takes him back to his nineties origins, reminiscent of the 'Camargue' glorydays. Now ready to storm the dance music world once again, this is a taste of what's to come from the heart & soul of the techno mastermind.
