Welcome To Vice City is a compilation dedicated to the existence and message of Vice City, a passion project by Arno Lemons and his fellow residents DJ Boats, Lil Lawaw & Juicy “the DJ”.

After 7 lucky years of translating paradisal philosophy to the dance floor, they're now releasing an 11-track strong compilation featuring a handful of previous
guests and local talents from downtown, showcasing soulful tracks in various forms of house music which celebrate the 7 most exciting years of their lives.

Pablo Valentino, Daniel Wang, Nick The Record, Glenn Astro, the mysterious G-machine project, Keith Lorraine and local talents Juicy “The DJ”, Coulier and My Loyal Friend all contributed to this compilation, in order to spread the soul of the city in your living room or to start your own party/set as viciously as you should. included with the record is an original copy of the infamous “Daily Vice” newspaper.. Extra Extra!!

SFSB Recordings welcome Mr Hotmood to the stable for our second release, following his previous releases on Tugboat edits, Editorial, Masterworks, Deep Sense an Whiskey Pickle Records. Side A's Lets Get It and Lost Soul head toward the deeper side of Mexico's finest, With "Let's get it" looping itself into an underground frenzy before releasing the crowd into a classic 1970s chant and them throwing them over to a killer organ hook, a must for 4am. "Lost Soul" takes you even deeper in to the realms of 70's Soul, bringing it into the 21 century with its beefed up lick " I wanna hold on, and let my love grow strong", reminiscent of the original Mark E working that helped start the movement.The G Groove" proves to be another early set summer anthem, completely heads down whenever it gets played, while "Keep on Dancing" does exactly what it says on the tin. The hardest track of the EP is left till last, with its "Keep on Dancing" call to arms for the dance floor reinforced by a destructible sax loop, it should be called Martini, anytime anyplace anywhere.These tracks definitely reflect the sounds of South Beach, produced with love by Hotmood, curated by South Beach Recycling.

Over one year on from its initial release, Kraak & Smaak's latest LP PLEASURE CENTRE eventually gets the remix treatment. For the occasion, Boogie Angst's chief trio has gathered a cast of collaborators new and old and invited them to add their own distinctive spin to the album's fifteen tracks. The result runs up to twenty-seven cuts split over two parts and features a hefty batch of unreleased, in addition to a solid base of remixes previously released throughout 2020.
Lead-track TWILIGHT sees double with a pair of reworks courtesy of Belgian vibist and Eskimo mainstay Aeroplane, and label habitué Titeknots. Whilst the first's version harnesses a carefree storm of disco buoyancy aimed at clearing the sky from all cloudy presence, the latter opts for a more subdued, velveteen rendition, sure to drape the dancefloor in warmer shades and folds.
Meanwhile, DWTTBO, is here presented in three variants; one from Jean Tonique, taking us on a slo-scudding, folk-informed ride, the second from Knight One, dishing out a precious slice of 80s-nostalgic arcade RnB, complete with 8-bit-friendly melodies and soulful vox, and the last one courtesy of Saison, developing the original into a mischievously arranged and thoroughly funky filtered-house brainwasher.
A cathartic, trip-hop-infused ballad, Kerem Akdag's exclusive revamp of SOUL LIBERATOR cuts a path of rhythmic devotion and contained suavity, whilst Georges' remix of NAKED eases us in a playful maelstrom of octave-shifting chords and sun- streaked piano stabs, which the Stripped rework (exclusive) achieves taking to full-out dancefloor functionality with relentless drive, whilst 24 Carrot's production unit Fouk alter the base mix's accordingly to their own playfully bumpy sound grammar.
Going full-scope, Turbotito's extended version of PLEASURE CENTRE blends in Middle- Eastern tropes with nu-age disco accents, eventually hatching into a full-fledged acid roller. Adding his ever-delicate production touch to the original dreaminess of SOMMERON, Satin Jackets entices the listener in a laid-back, nerve-soothing organic environment, whilst label staple Feiertag drowns the track in multiple layers of FX to weave a wholly new but consistently floor-ready narrative.
Up with a disco spaceship-ready rework of SWEET TIME, French producer Yuksek casts his net in classic late 70s-early 80s vaults to deliver a space-op kind of tune Cerrone wouldn't disown. Former The Moreau's member Rodney Hunter tackles IN PLAIN SIGHT with an equally true-school disco house approach, full to the brim with funk-oozing slap and string-laden momentums. Taking on SAY THE WORD are UK house vet Atjazz and Heist affiliate Makèz (whose debut album is underway, this one's an exclusive), respectively rendering a tear-jerking downtempo ballad and more muscular workout blended in with balearic guitars and feverish congas.
Entrusted to True Romance boss Tensnake and Norwegian master / Full Pupp main operator Prins Thomas, it's safe to say SAME BLOOD was in absolute safe hands from the start. Emphasizing on different aspects of the track, Tensnake amping up the tempo and exploiting the original's club-readiness to the maximum, whilst Prins Thomas stresses on the in-betweens to form one of his trademark spaced-out, wonkily groovy hybrids.
Laying optimal focus on the rhythmic side of things, Fatnotronic & Emmo's reshape of ECHO PARK (exclusive) fuses sequences of touching melancholia, forcefully offset by the pair's natural attraction for intricate drum programming. Revolving around Gavin Turek's nonpareil vocal assets, OUT IN THE DAYLIGHT (exclusive) as remixed by Nicolaas clearly sets its sights on classic upbeat 80s pop a la Cindy Lauper, whilst I THINK (exclusive), rebuilt by FSQ in true 'Funkadelic' fashion cranks up the funkiness levels a notch further.
Handed to up-and-coming Berlin via Warsaw-based duo Casiopepe, 24HR FLING (exclusive) gets all turned inside-out thanks to the pair's own-admitted "no-nonsense molecular approach to nostalgic flavours", and OPOLOPO's own signature sliced-and- diced, multi-directional funk blends, unloading clip after clip of intricately woven rhythmic patterns and sample-heavy head spinning. Rounding off the package are three digital exclusive instrumentals of Tensnake, Yuksek, Atjazz and Rodney Hunter's remixes to draw out the pleasure.

EDIT BY EDIT

Extended 4 Tracker of JJ052 - in a mysterious 4 track Vinyl and Hand stamped Promo OnlyVersion/Edition.

BAR03 is BAR Records' very first spring release. With 2 tracks by The Hague's JEANS and 2 more by Italian duo Younger Than Me this one is dedicated to the ravers.? First track by Jeans is 'Grand Theft Mind Explorer', a race car journey full of various breaks and melodies into the 4th dimension. The second track 'Nohzdyve' sounds like a spring tune on a hardcore clubnight. The peaktime beat slowly fades into a sweet and nicely confusing end. Younger Than Me's 'BaRave' has some classic UK rave elements; the signature drums are accompanied by a happy end of the day melody. This track asks for a perfect sunset. 'Dirty Sex' is the different one, a vocal track for darkrooms. Contains the beautiful voice of Justine.

Some of these edits came before on a now hard to get 12"... remastered and cut now with some dope additions.

Now 2019 sees the label branch out off the back of its success with a sub-label entitled 803 Crystal Grooves Collective Cuts, as the name would suggest, a home for music from the friends and likeminded artists of the label founder.

Timely re issue of an Arthur Russell classic on West End Records that puts his unique avant-garde spin on disco. The success of this track led to Larry Levan remixing the song for club play at Paradise Garage. The song has been remastered from original analog tape for 2014 and repressed in conjunction with the rights holders, BMG.

Produced in collaboration with Sony / Above Board distribution, 2020.

The third release on Tempo Dischi is 'Keep On Dance' by Contact Music, a little gem that is part of the Italo Disco history, but has characteristics of the early Proto House sound.

Antonio Cucaro, the Italian musician, songwriter and producer behind this project recalls ‘I started playing guitar very early. I drew my inspirations from the echo of Woodstock that came through the ‘Bandiera Gialla’ show on Radio Rai: emotions that were equal to true revelations when listening to Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Cream, Jimmy Page, Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple), Joe Pass, Alvin Lee, George Benson. Stimulated by various musical contamination, which came from rock and Italian authorial music, I started immersing myself into searching new exciting sounds, applying composition to various directions while trying to produce something new without worrying about genres or people's judgements, all without a compromise. I would not have imagined that one evening in 1983, 'Keep on Dance' would be born. It was produced together with three DJs who wanted a sort of opening track for their sets, putting together some sequences recorded by myself using percussion, acoustic and electronic drums (Linn, Oberheim, Simmons). The fact that after almost forty years it has been revived and considered a Proto House pearl really honours me. Composing music is like breathing pure oxygen: you compose, record and realise that you are already thinking about the next step to keep breathing’.

Multi-Grammy nominee Luisito Quintero revisits his Percussion Maddness album with new songs and remixes by an elite personnel of seasoned artists, producers and musicians of our time. “Free My Soul” features jazz artist Claudia Acuna with musicians Luisito Quintero on percussion, Anderson Quintero on drums, Carlos Henrique on bass, Junito Davila on Piano / Keyboards taking a free form approach in the studio pulling you into a twelve minute journey of love. “Skinny Papa”, a Willie Colon & Hector Lavoe boogaloo classic retouched by Luisito Quintero who called upon his Venezuelan brothers Los Amigos Invisibles with background vocals by veterans Jose Mangual Jr. & Milton Cardona (original percussionists and background singers for Willie Colon & Hector Lavoe) gave it the boogaloo vibes with a modern twist. From the spectacular Nicola Conte remix of “Our Love” Featuring Anané, to the Fela Classic “Gbagada Gbagada Gbogodo Gbogodo” with an afrohouse bounce and finishing off with the South African smash hit “Aquilas Coisas Todas” with Josh Milan’s lush backgrounds and Louie Vega on remix duties.

This double packed 12”’ vinyl was mastered by the superb mastering engineer Walter Coelho. Distributed by Above Board UK & manufactured in Germany at Optimal.

Italian producer Nico Lahs’ Discogs page is impressive to say the least. Not only are there a LOT of releases under a whole host of pseudonyms but we’re talking diverse and coveted labels and a host of credits which show Nicola Loporchio has music flowing through his veins. With tougher-sounding music finding a home on Hot Haus and Royal Oak, his deeper leanings have been picked up by Dan Curtin for Metamorphic and Sasha for Last Night On Earth, not to mention all his
Balearic-inspired Cosmic Garden material. And now we’re proud to add Delusions Of Grandeur to that highly respectable list!

Got Me Coming Back is an EP in the old-school sense. Four tracks which give us four different sides of Nico Lahs, kicking things off with the title track and most club-focused pick of the bunch. A punchy, percussive house groove with that touch of MPC swing Nico is known for lays the foundation for a funky bassline and incessant speech sample. Subtle string pads are introduced, adding a touch of widescreen atmospherics without taking away from the rolling vibe, creating one of those secret weapon tracks which will create just the right mood on the dance-floor.

Deep Down In My Soul melds crunchy live hi-hats, echoing piano chords and dubby analogue keyboard lines into something unique and other-worldly. Once again, the groove is kept rolling and unfussy, Nico working his magic with little touches of colour coming from his synths to compliment the minimal, stripped back arrangement.

Flipping over we have Your Sweet Loving which drops the BPM a touch for a low-slung, slinky funker of a track which will sound so sweet at the after-hours. Off beat hats, flamming claps and noodling moogy solo might not sound like an instant hit but when you introduce deep stabs and killer bassline it becomes more then the sum of its parts.

Closing out this stunner of an EP we have How’s Life? That classic B2 kinda track which so often becomes your favourite on the record... Nico takes things in a jazzier direction cutting up fretless bass, fusion guitar lick, Fender Rhodes and filtering ride cymbals leaving us on a high and proving why he’s such a respected and consistent producer.

There's some splendid expressions in soulful and spiritual deepness on offer on "African Power", the debut release by DASCO on Local Talk.

The opening track, "African Power" is a fine example of DASCO's creativity, a carefully crafted composition focused around a strong bassline, layers of percussions and melodies with instant hooks.
Up next is Trinidadian Deep with a remix that is both rich and spellbinding, proving once again h's a producer that extends beyond the dance floor when it come to producing music.

On the flip legendary producer Anthony Nicholson remix of "Keep Movin'" is a precision translation that brings the original into a whole new context.
While the original is powerful and moving, with DASCO adding a tribal vibe, Nicholson adds his unique riffs which emphasises the track's soulful elements.
Two versions for the mind, body and soul.

DASCO is proof that determination, talent and dedication pays off and this release is a joyous and deeply mesmerising journey with a unique house perspective.

Second installment of the Parisians Get a Room! on Insane Dances label.
This time the duo deliver two original tracks on the A side and have given the task of two remixes to I:Cube on the B side.

A1:The EP opens with an exotic dubby slow-mo track with a Cajun vocal sample gimmick supported by a heavy acid bass-line.

A2: New-beat is the key word here! A late mid tempo 80's Belgian beat style is mixed with Eastern influence to remind us of the Belgian good times sound.

B1: I:Cube gives us two different remixes of A1 "Cochon Toi Même" on the B side. The tempo rises into a dubby ethnic tribal vibe. Perfect for the late DJ set.

B2: A reinterpretation of "Cochon Toi Même" again, but this time with a more 90's feel. A fast light break-beat rhythm takes us on a psychedelic space journey, full of fxs and spacey pig sounds for the more adventurous

Originally released as a 12” single in 1982, ‘Every Brother Ain’t A Brother’ was the final record from Brooklyn multi-instrumentalist and producer Freddie Thompson’s Panaché band. Built around a fully cleared sampled bassline from ‘The Message’ by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, ‘Every Brother Ain’t A Brother’ plays out like a summertime stroll through New York in the early 80s. The streets are full of excitement, but as the lyrics, written by vocalist Denise Williams (not to be confused with Deniece Williams of ‘Let’s Hear It For The Boy’ fame) make it clear, they’re dangerous as well.

Thirty-nine years later, Isle of Jura is proud to present the first official 12” reissue of ‘Every Brother Ain’t A Brother’. A cult classic from the disco-rap era, the reissue includes the original vocal and instrumental versions of ‘Every Brother Ain’t A Brother’ plus a Jura Soundsystem special version with additional live percussion.

Originally made up of Freddie, his wife, the singer Debra Thompson and keyboardist Douglas Glover, Panaché formed at the behest of a local disco DJ, Carl Nelson. In the wake of Chic’s early singles, Carl felt a French name would give Freddie a competitive edge. “He explained it to us that it was a French word for style and elegance. Panaché, a step above chic,” Freddie reflects.

Business minded, Freddie formed his own label, Roché Records and joined SIRMA - The Small Independent Music Manufacturers Association. “It was very hard for the independent manufacturers to get airplay and distribution at the time, so we all came together,” he remembers. Through SIRMA, Freddie met Joe and Sylvia Robinson from Sugar Hill Records, who several years later, let him sample ‘The Message’ for ‘Every Brother Ain’t A Brother’.

In 1979, Panaché scored some radioplay when they covered ‘Not On The Outside’ by ‘60s D.C R&B group The Moments. Emboldened, they brought onboard backing vocalists and recorded their only album. This Is Panache saw the band blurring the boundaries between soul, jazz-funk and disco and become a sought after collectible.

By 1982, Debra had stepped back, and one of Panaché’s backing singers was center stage, Denise Williams. “Denise was good with writing poetry,” says Freddie. "She had one called ‘Every Brother Ain’t A Brother’. It was about the unrest that was going on in the city at the time. I thought I could do something with that.”

After releasing ‘Every Brother Ain’t A Brother’ in 1982, Panaché quietly moved from center stage to behind the scenes. Over the last thirty-nine years, Freddie has continued to work in the music industry as a session musician and producer. “As soon as we stopped trying to become stars as Panaché, we became busy working in the industry,” Freddie laughs.

*5y anniversary repress on coloured vinyl*

Undoubtedly the darlings of electro-pop, Satin Jackets finally unveil their debut artist album, 'Panorama Pacifico' featuring a string of cameos from vocalists familiar and exotic, jetting in from LA, Berlin, London, Belgium and Australia.

Scaling the heights of the Hype machine from their first release to the latest, and clocking up almost ten million plays on spotify, Satin Jacket's original brand of diva funk and smooth disco has whetted the tastebuds of the likes of Majestic Casual and i-D mag who said the duo's "super sexy, infectious house music is filled with the vibe of summertime." Their smash single, 'You Make Me Feel Good' has accumulated close to three million plays on Soundcloud (https://soundcloud.com/satinjackets/you-make-me-feel-good) and Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watchv=nYFEf7Y1Gco) concurrently.

"The idea came from our character, Mr. Satin Jackets, who's been travelling the world quite a bit the past two years," explained Tim Bernhardt, the founder of the duo. "Four continents, about twenty countries (in), he's on the West Coast and takes a break. He watches the ocean to put his mind at ease and (out pours) Panorama Pacifico."

This idyllic perspective is launched by the vocals of Scavenger Hunt, the Los Angeles-based electro-pop 4-piece, charted by Billboard and featured by the likes of Nylon mag. They explain about their contribution, "Feel Good' feels like jumping into a cool pool on a hot summer day- refreshing, exhilarating and sexy." Nigerian born and Birmingham based UoB's Got Talent winner, IsaacO contributes to 'Keep Moving On'. He explains it's, "a song about having a nonchalant attitude towards life regardless of what it throws at you. Best listened to on a nighttime drive on the highway."

The album also takes a peek into the past successes of Satin Jackets, with last year's smash single, 'Shine On You' featuring UK born and Berlin based talent Esser, dubbed by Clash magazine as "an exploratory glimpse into the mind-expanding side of Satin Jackets' electronics," and recent single 'We Can Talk' featuring vocals from Emma Brammer.

Further new collaborations include Ghent-based collective I will, I swear, Melbourne's Kids At Midnight and diamond in the rough of Belgian pop Marble Sounds. Fellow Eskimo artist and Greek producer NTEIBINT and KLP from Australia also feature. Each plots a similar narrative about the struggles of love. "'Say You' is about being afraid of being happy,' explains Jane Elizabeth Hanley AKA Kids At Midnight, 'Coast To Coast' is "a sweet love song that could also work on the dancefloor," says George Bakalakos AKA NTEIBINT, and Emma Brammer explores the concept of, "the exciting and painful first love - maybe it's not so good for you but it feels historical."

Pieter Van Dessel of Marble Sounds digs further on 'Find Out'. "The lyrics 'Shut your eyes, and you'll find out' started as a reference to childhood memories: as kids we often had to close eyes when somebody wanted to surprise us with a gift. But it can also mean that you could learn more about reality when you disconnect and close your eyes, instead of gathering (too) much information."

Three quarters of the tracks are fresh and introduce exciting guest vocalists and producers. These are complemented by the much-loved staples from the duo, 'Girl, Forever' and 'You Make Me Feel Good'. Tim of Satin Jackets explains, "We're ending the journey of this album with 'You Make Me Feel Good', (a) great story of a song. It still gives people all kinds of happy feelings. The more people it can reach, the better."

German music producer, Tim Bernhardt and lead performer Den Ishu are Satin Jackets. Their eponymous live show has relentlessly toured the US, Canada, Mexico and Europe, opening their fluid pop appeal and accessible four-to-the-floor groove up to the world at large. Their debut album, 'Panorama Pacifico' is set for release on 8th April on their home label, Eskimo Recordings. The Belgian imprint has been a purveyor of disco, house and everything in between for over fifteen years.

Spaziale coming in hot once again with another officially licensed, remastered, reissue featuring two hard-to-find rump shakers from
one of the key forces of disco in the ‘70s: The American producer and percussionist and sideman of Stevie Wonder in late ‘60s, Hamilton Bohannon.

Includes the super rare, long 12" version of “Me And The Gang”, plus on the flip the original version of “Let’s Start The Dance” both only available as rare promo singles. An essential bit of kit in the collection.

Mangabey, jazzpiano wizzard and amazingly talented electronic producer coming up with his 3rd EP on his home label Toy Tonics. The French kid already has a prominent fanbase: From Joe Goddard to Vigil Abloth and Laurent Garnier.. lot of good taste DJs have been playing his last Toy Tonics releases. He has this very own vibe that catches you immediately: Warm and funky dancefloor tracks that get people immediately moving. Never cheesy, always musically complex but ultra catchy. Reminding the 1090ies New York sound of Master at Work and Francois K...with a French touch. The thing is: Mangabey almost doesn't use samples. He plays all himself. His sound is super soulful and full of funk and jazz tricks that normally producers get from sampling disco loops. But Mangabey doesn't need this trick. He got the skills and plays all live. In fact he is working on his live act currently and impressed people with his live jams that he records at home and that show his ability to perform music on his vintage keyboards and drummachines in a way that reminds early Recloose or Harvey Sutherland. And this makes the music so unique. Listen to this EP! My Saxophone: That solo could be on a - difficult' Brecker Brothers Jazzfunk album or even on an Art Blackey record, but Mangabey makes it sound so vibey and fluent. Creating an outstanding jazzhouse track. Just Luv Machines is the key track for dancefloor: Featuring funk vocals that give the track that immediate kick. That track could be hugh. And Try to chill with the Rick Wade remix.... wow! After his first and second Toy Tonics EPs features remixes by Glenn Astro, Fouk and his French buddy Folamour, now its time for original Detroit house funkateer Rick Wade, who adds some special American flavor to the song. Toy Tonics & Mangabey = Perfect combination.

Up next on Editorial 16 - is a sampler featuring some Editorial crew regulars delivering four quality dance floor jams....

Coming next on the Brookside imprint is a double sided, colour vinyl 12” banger featuring two new versions of First Choice’s epic “Armed and Extremely Dangerous” reworked and dubbed out by none other than Hot Mix 5 & Chicago House legend Ralphi “The Raz” Rosario.

Ralphi returns to Brookside and updates the track with a brilliant reworking on the drums and vocals, while adding a soulful keyboard track to give it an updated feel. Flip it over to the B Side and we have a new version of “Love & Happiness” remixed from the original multi track tapes by NY DJ/Remixer Mike Maurro who takes the track to over 10 minutes with instrumental extensions and beefed up drums keeping it respectful to the original as always.

Produced by and dedicated to the late legendary Reid Whitelaw.

Malandra Jr's hit Dance Warriors, supported and played at the best Festivals and events around the globe by Solomun, Etienne De Crecy and so many big guns in the industry, is ready to rock more dancefloors thanks to 2 new remixes by the Italian dj "godfather" Claudio Coccoluto and the super talented tech-house monster Riva Starr.

Recorded in a basement studio in Deer Park, New York - 1980. Mixed Company’s ‘Let’s Go Disco’ is a relatively under the radar record, originally released on New York radio station WNBC 66’s compilation showcasing local talent. Thanks to meticulous archiving, Gene Lastorino was able to locate the original multi-track master tapes for the session which included a number of unreleased tracks. Gene also found lots of old photos and flyers, which you see grace the cover design courtesy of Charlotte McCrae.

Here, Rain&Shine present a 12” with the best unreleased tracks, edited for the dancefloor by Andrea Passenger. The original ‘Let’s Go Disco’ is of course included, along with a Waxist multi-track edit and a groovin’ Frank Booker instrumental mix.

Ben Gomori curates another unputdownable VA for his Monologues Records label with four killer tracks from new, emerging and resurgent names from four different countries that have been getting big reactions of late.

Copenhagen's genius-like Paxton Fettel has been destroying dancefloors with his piano-heavy, joyous sound recently on labels like Delusions Of Grandeur and Greta Cottage Workshop. 'I'd Like To Know You Better' is another fist-pumping jam that oozes positivity. London DJ Kristy Harper makes her debut in the production world with the slinky, pared-back disco groove of 'Uncle Jungle' - an earworm of a track which she has been consistently pestered for when playing in her sets.

Sub Club resident Harri has been slaving away over new material as one half of Glasgow duo Manakinz, with their heavyweight, relentlessly building and layered house sounds exemplified on the extremely potent 'Robopubez (Rust In Peace)'. Sounds from South Africa round off the EP, as now-London-based talent Maxime Alexander turns out a phat acid-house-rap jam with fellow SA rapper $hakes' irresistible delivery on hand.

16 bisher unveröffentlichte Tracks von Poolside, Roosevelt, Kraak & Smaak und vielen weiteren exklusive auf dieser Compilation!

The Sunset Manifesto erscheint am 04.12.2020 auf How Do You Are? und versammelt eine eklektische Gang von der Westküste der USA bis nach Norwegen und allem was dazwischen liegt- mit einer gemeinsamen goldenen Wurzel: Diese warme, akustische, aus Laurel Canyon Leuten und LA Session Göttern bestehende Clique, ausgestattet mit einer zeitgenössischen, elektronischen Sensibilität. All diese Acts berühren den zurückgelehnten, Daytime Disco-Style, der als Balearic in die Musikgeschichtsbücher eingegangen ist. Aber es liegt etwas Neues in der Luft. Die Künstler*innen auf The Sun Manifesto versuchen nicht einfach die Vergangenheit neu aufzurollen. Nein, das hier ist mehr „Parallel Pop“- und damit der Soundtrack für eine herrliche, imaginäre, aber dennoch zeitgenössische Welt jenseits von Retro-Kitsch. 16 anspruchsvollste, AOR- und Dance-orientierte, zeitgenössische Popsongs aus dem Too Slow to Disco-Universum. Wie ein Detektiv hat DJ Supermarkt die Künstler*innen auf dieser Compilation lange beobachtet, ihr Schaffen verfolgt und dann im richtigen Moment Nägel mit Köpfen gemacht. Worauf wir dieses Mal ganz besonders stolz sind: Alle Tracks auf The Sunset Manifesto sind exklusiv und unreleased und wurden teilweise extra für unsere Compilation gschrieben, was für eine Ehre!

Sixteen years after their previous effort, in 2017 Nicola Conte met again his friend and colleague Gianluca Petrella, an encounter that led to the release of 3 EP's and this full-length album. From Detroit future dance to afrobeat and spiritual jazz through a nu-disco sound, the unique vibe of "People Need People" drags us in search of deep music in a spiritual and mantric context, with a message of hope, aggregation and Universal Love. More than just a new album, it's a collective experience wisely directed by the duo, whose goal is to accompany the listener through a collective spiritual elevation path, guided by the only true universal language: music. In a historical period marked by contrasts, lack of communication and forced social distancing, "People Need People" proves to be even more essential and necessary.

Repress..!

Small run 45 with live recordings from two of their trio
concerts, coming with artwork by Carsten "Erobique" Meyer
himself. Having been studio neighbours for 5 years and
musical collaborators ever since, an actual live show by
Session Victim & Erobique as a trio sees both acts diverging
from their usual ways just as much as combining what each
of them is best at - although it has been and most likely will
always be a rare thing to happen. This record includes an
intense rendition of Session Victim 's "Good Intentions" at
London's Jazz Cafe and a beautiful cover version of The
Emperor Machine's "The TV Extra Band" at Berlin's Prince
Charles as part of the XJazz Festival 2017.

New Legofunk on black 12". Magic cool stuff with disco flavoured. Superb!

Twelfth release on the much sought after Vinyl Only label.

Back for his already third run on the label, Berlin-based producer Berobreo returns to Sundries to take care of the 2nd vinyl release in the catalogue.

Undeniably funky from start to finish, the 'What Can You Read On It's Thoughts' EP is all about those driving basslines and clean cut samples that have become synonymous with Berobreo's output over the past two years. While the A side, featuring the title track alongside another rather 'Delightful Affair', is probably the funkiest of the two with some serious old-school flavour sprinkled all over, the flip provides a bit more punch with 'Migrante' and especially 'Pina Colada' slowly taking this one into the early hours.

Repress..!

Today, Róisín Murphy teams up with producer and DJ Colleen “Cosmo” Murphy on the fabulous ‘Cosmedelica’ remix of her latest disco masterclass 'Murphy’s Law’. Transformed into a funky, strutting number, the already rapturous track evolves into something equally joyous and electrifying.

Revered by her peers, Colleen is a hugely respected radio broadcaster, music producer, remixer, record label owner and founder of Classic Album Sundays, coming up in the ranks in the DJ world with her unique take on the craft and knowledge of club culture.

She says, "When I heard ‘Murphy’s Law' for the first time, it pressed every melodic and lyrical button. And as we evolve into a new reality, the song takes on new meanings - sometimes tragic (‘all my hard work goes down the drain’) but ultimately resilient (‘pretty soon I’ll be breaking loose and the scene y’ll be changing). We’re not ready to break loose yet, but when we do, we’ll have the best party. Ever."

Róisín further explains, “This remix came about in the way all the best ones do. Colleen had a vision for the track, she wanted to do it and she doesn’t do a lot of remixes. Colleen’s linage and pedigree is so deeply embedded in the music I love, I feel foolish even going into it here, I don’t like to name drop!

When she asked could she do the mix, my mind was blown. Murphy versus Murphy in the funky case of Murphy’s Law!!!” Róisín also recently created a series of 6 performance videos for the renowned Manchester club night Homoelectric’s recent Stay Homo 12 hour live stream – a rave for these times - and you can now watch them in all their glory here.

It was here that she first debuted the dizzyingly addictive Cosmodelica remix. Murphy’s 25 year career has been one of unbridled, unmatched creativity and these mind-melting, breathtaking videos, all made in her living room during lockdown, once again showcase why she is such a trailblazer.

Last month Murphy co-hosted a 3fm show from her living room and more recently fans voted to celebrate and delve into her “Overpowered” album as part of Tim Burgess’ “#Timstwitterlisteningparty”, which has become the most replayed of the series . So much so that Róisín is returning on June 19 to discuss seminal Moloko record “Statues”. If this hive of activity wasn’t enough, expect a full length album in the summer featuring all of Murphy’s iconic singles with DJ Parrot (“Simulation”, “Jealousy”, Incapable”, “Narcisuss” and most recently “Murphy’s Law”), alongside brand new tracks.
