4 reinterpretations of Krystal Klear's summer singalong.

Luv Shack Records' newest EP marks the 26th release on the label, and its a classic split affair by stalwart Artists Space Echo and Jakobin & Domino.

Space Echo's "My Heart, My Soul" evokes the best feelings we have for sample heavy filter house, but manages the transition to modern club standards effortlessly, and elegantly.

"Party Together" is Space Echo in full on laid back funk territory at the start, but quickly turns into a deep and highly addictive stomper that just gets more intense as it goes along.

Jakobin & Domino bring us "You Want My Love", a disco infused house jam that overflows with sultry vocals, moody fender rhode hooksa and a super catchy drum sample.

"Filter Queen" is a full on party track that is basically eponymous, but Jakobin & Domino amp up the classic theme (house beat & filtered sample) with a modulated synth sequence, a few well timed fx and a funky beat to boot

Recorded mostly as a live-jam, august 2019, Il Sogno di Carmen is the result of a solitary producer meeting a nomad musician, Viscardi & Alano Santo. A brand new friendship. From there, the duo leads us to a spontaneous and fragile vacation story that yet manages to frame, with a sometimes mischievous accuracy, the current Genevan musical spirit : experimental, sincere, hybrid and hot. “I have no idea where this will lead us. But I have a definite feeling it will be a place both
wonderful and strange. Deep into summer, most definitely. The season of torrid bodies, of slowed down movements ; where melancholy creeps in the form of light and inconstant paragraphs, italian-style. Dragged around in hedonistic reunions, spiritual vagrancies and the soothing coolness of the Rhone river, Carmen is smooth and frivolous. She loosens up. Nothing is important. It can wait. Him too, you mainly. Geneva in the tropics, Bongo Joe on
the terrace, stolen emerald glances & air-conditioned airports. That's it. A wonderful and insignifiant story”.

Next up on classy UK label Adventures in Paradise is a release from as yet little known Soma World, featuring the vocals of Guinean musician and singer/songwriter Falle. A sumptuously crafted Afro tinged groove builds and lifts alongside captivating vocals of Falle, as we find ourselves taken on a journey into the sun.

Ray Mang heads up remix duties with an epic Afro disco workout that takes some delightful twisting turns.

This is a Summer smasher from an outfit to keep an eye on.

The masked hero comes back after the LP with a 3 tracks EP landing in the summertime and it’s yet again worth the wait, as it brings back hints of that nu-disco house music we learnt to love but together with a new touch. “006A1” is the opening tune which is a funky view on the dancefloor with hints of blissful acid grooves and a meticulous structured arrangement, for club use only. "006A2" is pertinent to the mood of the side A and it's a slower but solid groove with smooth vocals that come in without warning. A more classic approach to end the first part. B side is surely a masterpiece, a 11 minutes track taking over the whole side with a trippy approach containing so many musical inputs; throughout the whole composition we can hear how scrupulous is the sound research that the artist made, from sound design, to sampling and structuring, and the groove itself exploding in a mix of world music-afrofunk-beat belter, with the vocals giving it a touch of a tribal dance. A track to remember which surely lifts the level of the whole EP. A track we are, amongst the others, proud to release on our own label (Apparel Music). APLWAX006 is landing, so fasten your seat belts, because this is one to remember.

The original, the inspirational, the bombastic, the never bettered, the one.
'Don't make me wait' is all of the above and so much more. Classic to the core. Huge earth shattering record right here.
OK, so the scoop, for the uninitiated is this - the Peech Boys were Larry Levan's group, we're talking early 80's NYC here, 1982 to be precise, around the height of the Paradise Garage as Larry was making the transition from superstar DJ to producer. He brought a sparse, dubbed out, narcotic late night feel to the overall sound of this record. This was a short-lived project, but the influence is still felt today, the Peech Boys DNA is inside the veins of modern dance music, as is Larry's. There is no underestimating what an impact this record had. 7+ minutes of electronic bliss, trailblazing stuff, and don't get us started on the dub. Do yourself a favour, BUY this classic if you don't own it already, you'll keep coming back to it time and time again. Guaranteed. This essential 12" is repressed here in it's original 1979 glory, an essential classic that has stood the test of time for the last 30+ years & is now available again, remastered & repressed for 2017 in conjunction with West End Records, NYC.

At the forefront of the Irish electronic music scene, Sligo-born Berlin-based duo Brame & Hamo, aka Tiarnan McMorrow and Conor Hamilton, announce their hotly anticipated fourth EP, 'Celebrity Impersonator' out on the 29th October 2018 via their own imprint, Brame & Hamo.

The title reflects the duos personality and playful energy, nodding to their love of celebrity impersonators whilst growing up. 'We have a bit of a soft spot for impersonators as it is a pretty ridiculous way to earn a living. A bit like DJing! Our favs were those of Tom Cruise, Bill Gates, Gordon Ramsay and Johnny Depp'.

Opening with 'Midnight Express', the rolling melodics nod to the early sounds of prog house and Italo, acting as a transitional opener to their signature trance via techno scores. On the B-Side, title track 'Celebrity Impersonator', is a moody four four that edges into the darker realms with their love of breakbeat shimmering through, resulting in a club ready anthem. Melting down into a rolling trance groove with a late night heady feel, 'Request Rhythm' closes the EP.

With an impressive discography of EP's behind them on their own imprint - Trants, Club Orange and the DJ favourite, Limewire, as well as bookings worldwide the Irish pair are set to propel onwards from Sligo to Berlin and beyond.

West End records open the vaults once more to today's top editors and remixers.
This incredible 12" sees the mighty PBR Streetgang take the reigns for 2 gems from the stash!

Michele's 1977 'Magic Love' kicks things off in fine style, a slick bass driven groove is what we get with this funked out slab of string laden Disco heat. Nicely cut n pasted for the DJ's, dropped at the right time this one will go off! On the flip is North End's 1979 jam 'Kind of life, kind of love', boasting some serious harmonica and an almost AOR feel, the PBR version clocks in at 10+ mins of building dancefloor magic! Tweaked just right, and with a respectful nod, these 2 new versions are essential for the discerning disc jocks out there.

Fully licensed, sanctioned and released by Above Board distribution and West End Records, 2020. Accept no imitations!

Born out of a chance encounter in 2012 that led to a lasting friendship, Rhythm Section Int'l & producer, DJ, label boss, radio host, and record store owner Ruf Dug join forces to present 'The Committee'. Sitting somewhere between fictional band and studio collaboration, the record is the first fully in-house production for Rhythm Section, recorded start to finish at their own South East London studio and featuring vocals from label founder Bradley Zero and label mate FYI Chris's Chris Watson.

Right from the studio's initial creation, Ruf Dug felt inspired by the space's unique musical identity, jumping at the opportunity to create a collaborative record there over a two week studio residency. And between his DJ residencies at Pikes, Gottwood and NTS radio the Manchester-via-Ibiza computer game freak and renowned vinyl digger found the time to meld his wide range of influences. Having been a key driving force behind Be With's Holy Grail reissue of Bô'vel's - Check 4 U , Ruffy has more than earned his stripes as a boss level Street Soul collector, pre-empting the resurgent interest in the genre, which began in the mid 80s and is still a popular sound in Manchester today. This new release draws parallels between the DIY attitude of Street Soul labels like TSR, Intrigue, Jam Today & Elite and the modus operandi of the RS studio.

A wholly synergetic work, the project's title 'The Committee' reflects the collaborative nature of this release, as Ruf Dug states: 'Authorship is a strange concept at the best of times but this genuinely is a group effort and I very much enjoyed feeling like just one piece of a larger entity - the complete opposite to my usual production experience of being all alone in my room for days at a time.' The EP also features additional production from Rhythm Section's own Mali Baden-Powell, who DJ's and produces as Z Lovecraft and comes from a background in Street Soul music, his father was also in legendary UK acid jazz collective D'Influence. In addition, the record features a dynamic range of vocalists: sultry deliveries from Natalie Wildgoose and Sienna Mustafa, a rap from her sister Nadina, and the vocal debuts of FYI Chris's Chris Watson and Bradley Zero. 'I had been joking with Bradley that he needed to be on the record somehow and he did appear, playing an egg shaker at one point, but his singing wasn't in the least bit planned... I got back from lunch, and the next thing you know he just starts singing...So I dragged him reluctantly down the corridor to the studio and that's it- now he's a pop star!'

Also playfully melding digidub, soul, chicago house and acid jazz, the release not only marks a new chapter in the development of the Rhythm Section sound, but also catalogues a crucial turning Point in Ruf Dug's musical development. Still oozing with the cheeky DIY approach that won his own label, RUF KUTZ an army of fans, this latest Collab steps things up and opens a whole new realm of possibilities for one of Manchester's favourite sons.

SIRS returns with another healthy dose of edit debauchery, dropping four more secret weapons that are perfect examples of what a good rework should be.

Slick, punchy, chopped in all the right places and looped just when you wanted that extra little bit of juice, this 12” is about to go straight in the record bag and become that ever dependable record you can use in any situation. From leftfield Italo wonders to disco nuggets there’s a slice here for everyone.

Simon Marlin, aka The Shapeshifters, has spoiled disco devotees with his array of Glitterbox releases. His latest release ‘Second Chance’ and 2019 hit ‘Life Is A Dancefloor’ have seen Marlin collaborate with the unmistakable vocals of CHIC singer Kimberly Davis, and now both have been placed on a limited 7” Vinyl, celebrating these two joyous tracks.

With both recordings featuring cinematic strings, live horns- and melodic keys, provided by some of the UK’s finest session
musicians, the rich instrumentation on both provides a luscious backdrop to Davis’ vocal musings.

With two records that have limitless dancefloor appeal, memorable lyrics and timeless charm, this 7” delivery is a record box essential
for all disco-discerning DJs, from an artist at the top of his game.

With releases on such esteemed labels as Sound Signature, KMS, Peacefrog, Track Mode and Planet E just to name a few and being part of the legendary The Music Institute in Detroit - Alton Miller is, simply put, a legend in the scene.

Over the last three decades there been a steady flow of music from Alton that has one thing in common - it's never out-of-date.

Following on from the massive TapeEdit 001 this next Double A sided outing moulds the JB's banger Groove Machine into a tightly edited funk bomb and Mi Mi Africa by Nobou Yagi given the Guns stretch.

On the flip side Play me is an epic congo driven monster that never stops and finally we come in for landing with the brit funk creation For The Game featuring Check The Guns original vocals and a tightly cut reworked break from Shakatak - Easier Said Than Done.

Their debut double album for WOLF+LAMB, LIFE ON PLANETS is made up of two Baltimore based musicians/DJ/visual artists. "Personal electronic music that still boasts dance-floor energy". Full color pic sleeve.

Luca LTJ Trevisi (LTJ Xperience) began his dj/producer career in the 80s. As resident dj in two of the most famous Italian clubs of the time, Kinky in Bologna and Cap Creus in Imola, he was one of the first Italian jocks to spin House and to re-propose those black music, jazz and latin-bossa classics from the 70s that at the end of the same decade would have given birth to the Acid Jazz and Rare Groove movements. His first single release in 1988, titled First Job, together with Kekkotronics, was also the first release ever on Bologna based Irma Records. It was featured in a lot of compilations of the time and entered several playlists, rapidly reaching cult status for many UK and US djs. During the early 90s LTJ delivered a couple of singles in a kind of pre-breakbeat
style: Dont Stop The Sax, released all over Europe, and Funky Superfly. He also produced US singer Tameka Starrs single Going In Circles, always for Irma Records, still a
classic in the downtempo/r&b field. In the second half of the nineties Luca began to produce acid jazz bands like Bossa Nostra, still today one of Irma Records main acts. Their
first album had Vicky Anderson as special guest and today is still considered one of the most important European acid jazz albums. In the following years he concentrated on developing his activity as collector and rare vinyl merchant, which gave him the chance to get in touch with djs from all over the World and to discover many forgotten gems from the past years. Thanks to this experience he was able to create two extremely successful rarities series on Irma Records: Groovy and Suono Libero. In the meanwhile LTJ started to dj outside Italy too, performing in important venues like the Blue Note and Jazz Café in London, Giant Step in New York and Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. In 1999 saw the release of his first solo album under the LTJ Xperience moniker. The album was produced with the collaboration of fellow Irma artist and producer Ohm Guru and had Taka Boom and Jackson Sloan among the guests. Two of the
main tracks on the album are brazil house classic Sombre Guitar and title track Moon Beat, which became a true hit of the Chill Out genre, featured in dozens of important compilations

LoveDancing is proud to present 'Yawumna', the new EP by Tel Aviv based veteran discoteers RaBo & SnoB. Ronen Sabo & Eyal Rob have been DJing together since the mid nineties and have been releasing their music via notable labels such as Whiskey Disco, LoveDancing and Disco Halal. Ronen, using the alias Obas Nenor has also released music on Moodyman's Mahogoni Music, Heist, and Strictly Rhythm.

'Yawumna', featuring vocals by Soma, is the fruit of the duo's visit to Ghana and the result of a chance meeting at Accra's main market while the duo were out looking for records and handmade percussions. The three quickly connected and Soma was recorded on vocals and the Kora. The result is an infectious, chantable afro stomper that feels both contemporary and rooted in Ghana's musical heritage. 20:20 Vision and Local Talk affiliate Art of Tones is on the remix adding his own signature tweak.

'Ifa' featuring Azizaa, is African house with anthemic qualities and a true club monster. Azizaa, who was introduced to Rabo & Snob via a mutual friend, packs the track with her unique vocal style and flamboyant energy. Let's Play House head honcho Jacques Renault steps up with an equally impressive remix.

Comet presents the third release of its new Disco Highlife series, featuring remastered originals by Ghanaian legends Ebo Taylor & Pat Thomas and disco re-edits by Trus’me and Tiger Tigre.
On Side A, “Yes Indeed” is a heavy afrobeat piece out of the legendary LP Super Sounds Namba recorded in Togo and released in 1981 on Abotar Records. This awesome synthetic afrobeat is

Trus’me Version is cross Atlantic production between Trus’me from Lisbon and Benjamin Tierney from LA. An effortless collaboration of musicianship and production, using the seductive Simmons
drums, Ensoniq ESQ-1 on percussion, Casio CZ-5000 on the lead & a solid Moog rogue on the bass. The additional production complimenting the original direction, whilst intoducing it to a modern
day eclectic dancefllor, courtesy of Prime Numbers Records.
On Side B, “Yesu San Bra” is a strong funky disco highlife anthem by Ghanaian legend Pat Thomas. This disco highlife classic has originally been released in 1980 on the Ivory Cost label Pan
African Records. Tiger Tigre’s rework is a mysterious secret weapon deployed to decimate dance floors. Adding with his characteristic bleepy twist, a punchy kick drum fully acoustic, an
heavy liquid bass line and transforming this disco highlife classic into a euphoric and hypnotic
piece of progressive house. Vincent Taeger aka Tiger Tigre is a french artist producer, drummer, a
virtuoso who just released his debut album Grrr ! to his credit for numerous collaboration as
producer with international artists like Allen, Oumou Sangare, Sebastien Tellier, Charlotte
Gainsbourg, Franz Ferdinand, Chilly Gonzales, Gregory Porter, Saul Williams…

After the successful debut album by Roland Sebastian Faber 'RSF' on Closing the Circle records RSF is returning with a new EP. We are not Friends! Double A side vinyl release with remixes by Benedikt Frey, Kinky Roland and Keen K. Including download code.

It's Moscow disco! Russian selector extraordinaire Arsenii makes his RNT debut with a 3 tracker of obscure and infinitely groovy edits. From the Shaft-in-outer-space drama of "Son of the Son," to the proto-balearic lilt of "Jungle Groove" to the big band funk of "Fool Like A Child," Arsenii demonstrates his skill at digging through and slicing up his ample record collection. A pretty yellow 10" with a classic jazz library label design rounds this one out nicely!

Sadly, soul diva Betty Wright left us recently, on May 10th of this year, only 66 years old.

We pay a tribute to Betty with this unique 12” release, featuring 2 of her greatest hits.

“Tonight is the night” (yes, the famous full 8 minutes live version!) appears on the “A” side of this 12”, while on the AA-side it features the 7 minutes long and easy mixable “Disco Purrfection Remix” of “Where Is The Love” by Canadian DJ DiscoCat, now however edited to perfection by Ben Liebrand at a steady 128 BPM.

”Tonight Is The Night” is taken from the (previously top10 Billboard-) album “Betty Wright Live”, which vinyl-edition will shortly be re-released with bonus tracks on the High Fashion Music label.

Reissue of the much sought after Hotbath edit series from Crazy P. Hotbath Edits Vol.1 kicks off with a rather tasty re-work of a familiar NYC disco record which uses only the beat and vocal of the original with some very tasty musical elements added.
Backing that up is the equally juicy edit which works that groove and takes it straight to the dancefloor.Changing tack for the flip we have a re-work with original elements of the acoustic guitar and the vocals are bolstered with live beats, bass, strings and brass to give a truly uplifting mix. Finally look out for the curveball edit of a certain Neptunes penned pop hit to round off this killer package!

Ahead of his second artist album on his own Millionhands label in July, Tee Mango teases with a fantastic first EP taken from it. The album finds the UK artist stretch himself with a dazzling array of soul drenched, fully fledged songs featuring his own singing and that of Detroit legend (and Moodymann collaborator) Amp Fiddler.

The sound, very much influenced by early Prince and even a little Bon Iver, combines effortlessly with that loose sampled MPC-house feel that you would associate with a Tee Mango production. It also comes with a seal of approval from Radio 6 Music legend Gilles Peterson and after EPs on the likes of Aus, Clone and Local Talk in recent years.

Opening up the EP, Amp Fiddler features on ‘Feels Like Whatever’. Dancing Rhodes keys, ooze jazz charm and float atop a simple house beat, while the Detroit legend’s emotive raw soulful vocal directs proceedings.
The heart breaking ‘No More Tears’ is an introspective sad soul song that shows another side to Mango’s skills. Tender chords, downbeat drums and vocal hums and coos all melt your very being. Last of all comes the dazzling ‘Lay Down (Disco Mix)’ with its slapped funk bassline, finger clicks and squelch synth work all topped off by an effortless
falsetto. This is a fantastic introduction to the full length to come.

Nebraska comes to Razor-N-Tape Reserve with a 3-tracker of soul-laden sampley goodness primed for the floor.
The title track drills deep to the depths of primal funk for an extended disco-house workout that stretches over the full A side.
On flip we have a pair of slow-burners, with Instant Pressure juxtaposing modern R&B vocal flavour over a hypnotic rhythm track, and then Keep On Keeping On takes us back to the classic soul side with its gritty and gospel-infused groove.

Nicola Cruz, fresh off his sophomore album, returns to Multi Culti with HYBRIDISM, an expansive EP that sees the Ecuadorian producer present a modern exotica of North African rhythms, ethereal Persian melodies, and chants from distant and imagined cultures.

'Aima’, named after the refrain sung by Igbo girls from Nigeria, creates the illusion that you’ve dusted off a lost LP. The aesthetic details recall expertly produced French exotica from the 70s, an overall feeling of warmth and character rarely pulled off with such panache.

‘Naeku,' in Cruz’s words, is "a sorrowful song in minor tonalities, but with a warrior energy, strength and forward vision: a soul departs, but a new one arrives in the name of Naeku, a maasai child. Not all grief needs to be a suffering; a feeling which I can relate to the place I come from with a Quechua word: Llaquilla - triste, pero feliz (sad, but happy). As always, the 303 adds that heart touching feeling.” If there’s a template for Multi Culti’s ethos, Cruz has synthesized the formula: Masai lamentation filtered through Quechua wisdom with a touch of 303 for the soul.

'Drom Tradisie' is a nostalgic vignette that captures the fantasy of a scenic horizon on a lost beach, a portrait done with the FM domain of synths that somehow associates with tropical imagery.

'Third Eye Dub’ takes things deeper, exploring the fractal realm of concentration, a point where the Oud (played by Nasiri) acts on the pineal gland. This inward journey through the cavernous depths of the subconscious sails on a smooth modular groove that transports the listener across this psychic expanse, a filigree of Persian harmonies (in Shur, to be exact) tracing outlines in the dark.

Finally, 'Kawe’s Dream’ ventures even further into the imaginary spaces of the mind. It is an aural reconstruction of the Tibetan Bardo Thodol, or ‘Book of the Dead’, a sacred text that guides the spirit through the passage out of the body. In Nicola’s words "To paint that depth, I had these Tibetan chants in mind, that I ended up crafting with Ableton's vocoder over a piece of Ayan’s vocals (sung in a made-up language). A few notes, and it gave the gravity I was looking for in the song.” Stuff that only a producer as capable as Cruz could pull off.

Hybridism’s five tracks are sonically diverse, yet all possess an ephemeral quality, a pastoral, transitory feeling that travels through the music - we listen to the sounds pass us by, we might even catch a hook or two, but the feeling is of sand running through our hands, deep, elusive, beautiful.

Afro-Cuban Jazzdance House from the XXXV Edit series / Vinyl Only / limited to 150 copies

On their stunning debut album Made Me Feel, Fabrikate take a trip back to the glory days of disco, a time when love was the answer, inclusion was the only message worth spreading and everyone was invited.

Fabrikate are Francis and Chuck — two guys with similar tastes and interests digging into the past to uncover some long lost musical wisdom. Their devotion to this quest grants them laser focus, working like madmen to create bumping, neon-flecked sonic landscapes for their listeners to wander through.

Both Francis and Chuck have their own personal tie to the disco era and the forgotten magic it left with. They grew up listening to celestial funk throughout their childhoods in Montreal, an island with deep disco roots of its own. The music they produce as Fabrikate takes the spirit of disco and weave it into a modern sound, with breathtaking results.

“We both grew up immersed in disco in our own ways. The music and the culture of that era has always been a deep influence. Disco culture was very inclusive and non-judgemental. It was always about the vibes and the experience. With Fabrikate we’re creating our own interpretation of what disco music means for us today.” Fabrikate

Across 14 unique tracks, Made Me Feel blends both house music and disco influences into a sound that while heavily influenced by the sounds of the past, also manages to remain rooted in modern-day dancefloors, and takes inspiration from the US, Europe and of course their native Canada.

“Montreal was a major player in the disco scene even back in its early days, had an important effect on a whole generation. We feel that Montreal has incredible artistic diversity, and that has a lot to do with the emergence of disco and how the city played a role in it.” Fabrikate

From the very start of album opener It’s Coming Down, the tone is set: a triumphant brass refrain that drops into a fast-paced 4/4 beat and glorious vocals. From there the album kicks on in magnificent fashion with the life-affirming filtered loops of Feed The Flame and basement stomp of Into The Ground, one of the album’s most overtly house records.

Another clear album highlight is lead single Love Was Real, a joyous disco-house hybrid with a triumphant vocal, punchy drums and a brass hook that will bring a smile to even the most hardened of dancefloor veterans.

Fabrikate have an innate ability to pick out a wonderful sample and transform it into something almost overwhelmingly powerful: the aforementioned Love Was Real and the equally infectious New York City Man being prime examples of this. Years of obsessing over obscure disco records have given both Francis and Chuck a wealth of geeky knowledge on which to draw, and this album is a masterclass in how to do sampling properly.

A joyous homage to an era of which happiness and hedonism was the main focus of the music, Made Me Feel is a phenomenal accomplishment, and one that will bring joy to disco revivalists and newcomers alike.

The first of three 12”s from Jamaican duo, The Pearls. Reggae Disco Rap from 1980.

The Pearls are Stanley Shaw and Norman Watson, lifelong friends who wanted to fuse Disco, Soul and Rap with Reggae. Norman Watson worked at the famed Randy’s record store in downtown Kingston, also the base for the revered V label, where he came into regular contact with label artists Fats Domino, Millie Small and Augustus Pablo. Suitably inspired he started his label Reality Hits in 1978 and not long after came a series of singles including ‘On & On’. The Pearls soon caught the ear of Sly & Robbie and went on to record an LP for their Taxi label.

The original 7” version of ‘On & On’ leads the charge on the A1, a proper reggae disco stomper with boogie piano, super charged bass and a chorus that sounds like a lost hit. The Dub Version ‘We’ll Do It’ occupies the A2 whilst on the B side Waxist, the consummate Parisian selector and compiler Julien Minarro, steps up with an extended edit that combines elements of the Original and Dub. The 12” is housed in a disco 12" themed Isle Of Jura sleeve.

Tipped for big things, Alex Virgo presents the first release for his brand new Label 'Pomme Frite'. An imprint influenced by his love of Disco & his keen ear for sampling in House music.

The title track 'Let Me Through' builds energy fluidly, effortlessly chopping & changing. Destined to make an impact on the dance floor.

The B side features two more originals from Virgo. The first is a ruthless French house inspired bomb 'Come On Baby' and collab with new comer & long-time friend Benjamin Groove entitled 'Private Caller'. A groovy house number with skippy drums & hypnotic sax sampling.

Remastered official reissue of the hugely in demand Billy Frazier disco funk masterpiece Billy Who? Originally released in 1980, this time including on the flip side the rarest and expensive (at about 800 euros on discogs) : The Mind Blower instead of the unnecessary short radio edit.

These two killer disco classics represent huge hit on the underground scene and a staple at legendary clubs like The Paradise Garage, The Loft and Chicago's Warehouse.

A must have for any collection to get peoples bodies moving.

After their fatter than a 'Deepfried stick of butter wrapped in bacon' Speckbass EP collaboration on Sex Tags Ufo a few years back DJ Fett Burger & DJ Speckguertel team up once again! The full length 'Red Scorpions' album, showcasing their mastery in the studio, is the result. A cornucopia of all that's classy about house and techno rolled into one and spread over 4 sides. Not afraid to use the tried and true ingredients of House music to full effect on 'Red Scorpions' they incorporate all the best from US and Europe's club music into a fresh but familiar package.

Z Records unstoppable ‘Attack The Dancefloor’ series powers it’s way to its 14th Volume of remixed disco gold.

Delia Renee - You're Gonna Want Me Back (Joey Negro Disco Blend):
"You’re Gonna Want Me Back” was an all but forgotten early 80s obscurity only known to hardcore vinyl collectors.

Delia’s vocals are classic power soulful vocal disco diva, whilst JN makes the most of the parts in the fully orchestrated live backing track.

Foreal People - Shake (Dr Packer Re-Shake):
Originally released in 1999 the Joey Negro revamp of GQ’s Chic like “Shake” features David Grant from Brit Funk act Linx on lead vocals. It's back out 20 years later with a fat funky Dr Packer remix, who drops down the bpm and adds a more dubby approach to the arrangement.

Another indispensable ATDF 12", destined to cause waves across dancefloors worldwide.

A Salsoul classic re-worked by the masters of the remix. Unearthed from the vaults, remastered and released on vinyl in their full length, unedited glory for the very first time. With Frankie delivering a remix and dub oozing both the style and grace accustomed to Godfather of House and Morales staying true to the percussive sounds of the original production this EP showcases why the Def Mix production team have always been the leaders of the remix.

One of the undisputed kings of the remix, The Reflex works his magic on two new revisions for Salsoul Records. With a well-known ear for groove, the Frenchman takes on Double Exposure’s ‘My Love Is Free’ – crafting a layered, smooth remix that builds upon its slick guitar riff with conga rides, warm basslines and that euphoric, soulful vocal. Next up is Instant Funk to get the Revision treatment, as The Reflex re-edits and remixes ‘I Got My Mind Made Up’. This one’s got some punch: chunky, percussive breaks lay the foundation for lashings of funk, bass and some sexy vocals to boot. Always a welcome addition to any catalogue, The Reflex Revision of ‘My Love Is Free’ further solidifies why he’s the best in his field.

When Simon Dunmore heard Horse Meat Disco drop 'The Spirit' at Glitterbox in Ibiza last summer he immediately needed to know where and who the track came from. It's no surprise that Mighty Mouse's style of production was a good match for Glitterbox, with his reputation of delivering high energy, eclectic, disco infused sets. The track went on to become Annie Mac's Hottest Record and has been on heavy rotation among all discerning disco DJs. Now this rugged party starter has its long-awaited vinyl release, with an exclusive remix from Partyfine boss and French maestro Yuksek keeping it company on the A-side. On the B-side are two huge remixes from UK techno titan Mark Broom, bringing new depth to the disco original.

Italian duo Souldynamic are probably most known for their deep soulful house productions.
But this time they've taken aim at some of their fave Jazz-funk tunes and reworked them with a nudge towards the house community.

Rodney Franklin's classic 'Vibrations' and Franco Bixio's library anthem 'Break' both get superb house rubs, but without losing the organic & dynamic feel of the originals.

Chicago brother Jamie 3:26 is back and this time more focused and more sober than ever (yup, he gone clean)!

After his classy album release on BBE he's now back on GAMM with what he does best, top class Chi-town disco edits!
