NEW EDITS LABEL FROM ASP AKA MAZI

Following 2009's sizzler "Caribbean Girl" man of the moment Mario Basanov returns to Under the shade for more heat! Utilizing the sticky sweet vocal talents of Miss Bee 'Just think about' is a summer scorcher that'll have you reaching for the Speedos! Remixes come courtesy of Art Of Tones, Social Disco Club & Mirror People and Mario's own dub mix.

As a member of Chairlift, the band he co-founded in 2006 and exited in 2010, Aaron Pfenning pulled double (and triple) duty - playing multiple instruments, writing songs, producing, and contributing vocals for the band's major label debut. That comfort with musical multitasking - and a cache of songs he'd written that didn't fit his main project - made a new solo effort seem like the natural and logical next step to take. Pfenning assumed the name Rewards (a moniker he's actually used since 2003), spent the better part of last year touring with We Are Scientists, Brandon Flowers and Warpaint, and released three broodingly romantic singles ("I Used To," "What a Loser" and the achingly beautiful "Two Cardinals") that made a host of listeners take sudden notice.

GORGEOUS DEEP SOULFUL HOUSE FROM WIPE THE NEEDLE.

Slick disco fusions from the Tuscan trio of Dino Storai, Nicola Lopetuso and Simone Fedi. 'Galactica' effortlessly combines elements of disco, rock and punk with a refined and synth-driven Italo nature. Classic-sounding styles abound, from the symphonic post-punk inflections of 'Endless Time' to raunchy Moog jams on the title track, through synth-squirting PunkFunk 'A Ferry To Hell' and straight-up cowbell rollers like 'The Prophecy'.

2 new Raumakustik Tracks with remix by Beatamines & Compact Grey !!!

Al Kent continues his quest to bring his definition of disco to the ears of the world with another killer three tracker. "Be My Baby" is an uptempo disco monster - dope bassline, rhodes and wah guitar with nice loud hihats for full dancefloor appeal. "Sun Shine Down On Me" is a dark, sweaty, latin disco beauty soaked in strings, horns and rhodes piano. Think that says it all. "Time Is Moving" picks up where A1 left off, with the addition of strings and occasional vocals to wrap things up.

Million Dollar Disco is loved by Dimitri from Paris, Pat Les Stache, Solid State, Cosmic Boogie, Greg Wilson, Peter Adarkwah, The Dead Rose Music Company, Horse Meat Disco, Nik Weston, Chris Harris and many many more..

Superb new edit of BLONDIE's classic bell-rocking groove !

CROOKERS ARE BACK, AND THEY'VE CREATED A MONSTER!

Nang golden-child Sare Havlicek and Bostonian Chaz Bronz make up the menacingly titled 'Transatlantic Disco Alliance'. No, it is not a military organization designed to perpetuate neo-imperialst ideals... it's a big ol' love-in for 80's tinged soulful disco tunes.

Lead track 'Too Late' is a cover version from 80's UK soulster Junior Giscombe. Curtis Black does a great job re-imagining Juniors vocals and Sare and Chaz keep the synths big and soulful. Happiness On A Leash (surely not a track about marriage is all about the lead lines, darting melodies all set against a backdrop that sounds like it came from a Bill Sharpe EP in 1982.

On the remix trip we have UK based James Bright who houses things up a notch for the dance floor. As is usually the case with us at Nang we've overloaded the package with the usual instrumentals and dubs too...

Extremely welcome reissue of one of the shining stars of the boogie firmament - the hugely funky It's You That's Happening from little known band Exquisite Taste. Originally released on tiny New York label Starlite back in 1984, this was Exquisite Taste's only output but what the band lacked in quantity they made up for in quality. A near-perfect example of that early 80s boogie sound, this has it all - insistent mesmerising Moog synth riffs, clean crisp percussion, layers of summery vibes and superb catchy vocals combine to make this an unstoppable dancefloor sensation. And that's just the vocal... on the flip, the instrumental is stunning with a sparser arrangement which highlights the grooving bassline, funky guitar work and echoing hypnotic drumwork. With the original 12' virtually impossible to get hold of, this quality reissue is an absolute must-have!

samples james brown classic !!!

The last in this series of four 12"s is goung out with a bang. It features three upbeat tracks with lots summer sunshine in them. On the A side two high energy club tracks, and a bit mellower one on the B

Diner City Sound's fifth release, back to the start with Matthew Kyle who helped kick off the label with DCS001.
Four of his personal favourite tracks make up the 12, a brilliant release!

A1: Do It Charlie
MK at his best! Slow, grooving edit, super sexy vocals and really beautiful percussion. Words can't describe the greatness! Huge sound cloud hit as well.

A2: Midnight
Hypnotic track, just beautiful! Synths are incredible, cool little vocal and light percussion.

B1: I Want Myself For You
Fun track, one to make your booty bounce! Nice use of a well known sample, brilliant vocals. All round heavy groover!

B2: Inside Love
Things slow right down on the final track. A lovely, atmospheric track with a great beat - showing off Matthew Kyle's baby-making music talent! Top class!

PICTURE 7"! Luke Million is a fellow out of Adelaide, Australia and is the hectic keys player and synth wizard from The Swiss. He often starts his morning by bench pressing his Yamaha CP-70 and drinking 3 or 4 shakes of reel to reel tape.

Classic funk from 1981

it was also sampled on the house classic Cassius "cassius 99" !!!

A: You Know
Heavy on the bass with a light hihat pattern and mellow kick/snare creates the backing for delayed/reverberated vocals and synth stabs. A down beat boogie feel on this one and its infectious!!

B: All The Way
Easygoing rhythms in this track create a great groove. The vocal is the principal theme giving lead to the bass line and percussive elements. Laid back funk style!
