Eighth release on the ever essential imprint from those lovely people over at the acclaimed SLEAZYBEATS BLOG

Sleazy Beats introduces four fresh names on its latest outing, the 'Dirty Dancing EP'.

French newcomer Modsleep kicks things off in style with 'Women Don't Want to Love Me', a chuggy slowpaced stomper with big drums and a killer groove.
Modsleep shares his side of the record with the enigmatic Dead Rose Music Company outfit (Wolf Music, Kolour LTD, Taikamochi), who deliver a particularly pleasing deep slowburning romper in the form of 'Never Gonna Stop'.

Flip over for the sweet and moody vibes of 'Teach them no Hate' by Lord of The Isles (American Standard, Little Strong, Ene Japan), alongside The Noodleman's 'Lovers Dub', a lovely dubby, moody number that just builds and builds. Without a doubt one of Sleazy Beats' finest platters yet.

Limited to 500 copies. No digital, no repress

One Night Stand Is Jam Factory's third release; a collaboration with New York-based vocalist Mattie Safer (formally of The Rapture) over two 12"s
This first 12" features the original version - a piano-driven Chicago style anthem with heavy drums and a touch of acid.
Mattie delivers a classic house performance in his own instantly recognisable style. On the flip are two different dubs, one an incessant barrage of piano's, the other a thick slice of acid.

From the murky Manchester backstreets, the El Diablo's Social Club main man Neil Diablo (AKA The Midnight Chopper alongside cohort Mr Masters) stalks his Balearic-Rock prey with a sharp eye for a groove and a keen sense of razor sharp riffing !

A1: Tales of Mistery
A very house feel on this one! Vocals add to the house vibe, with 808 sounds throughout. Echoed snares and evolving pads add the atmosphere. The bassline carries the track and gives off an 80's vibe. Breakdown stutters the track and groove kicks back in just at the right time!

A2: Vae Victis
Very mellow vibe to this track. A slow track, with each element taking its turn to come in throughout the intro. Nice bass line, things start moving with the hats. Very atmospheric, a cool little number!

B1: Mind Games
Cool vocal with a nice synth rhythm. Bass line takes things forwards and the percussion is well thought out, nice clicks and generally gives the track an edge!

B2: Epic
Disco house vibes on this one. Old school synth sounds backed by a deep bass line. Percussion is wicked. Long synth notes add to the atmosphere. A killer track!

B3: Dream
Fat bass line, with synth that adds an flavour of the 80's. Quiet vocals in the background along with a evolving pad sound give a cool vibe.

At last the Albion vinyl sampler sees the light of day! We've waited far too long for this hotcake, but as they say 'the best things come to those who wait'. We've pressed up four crazy disco gems here on the vinyl sampler. We start with 'Leslie' by the Nevaboston Team originally released in 1978 on a rare as rocking horse shit Italian 7' Albion gives it his subtle but effective treatment blending both parts together to create a new take on this killer piece of music (wait for the horns to drop for maximum dance floor devastation). Oh and I nearly forgot to mention this is exclusive to the sampler never ever released.

Tout Est Bleu - Ame Strong (Original Ame Strong SA Mix)

Mysterious Russian artists 'NG' (part connected to a celebrated Scottish DJ duo whose multi-genre style has redefined modern clubbing & helped usher in a far more open-minded approach to club soundtracking).

The first volume of Flying Saucer Edits, is taken from a top secret stash of tried and tested private rewires. These three killer dancefloor pieces take in Hi-NRG, obscure German TV theme tunes and incendiary, raw Disco & with the liberal application of re-programming, overdubs and a feel for the floor, end up somewhere entirely new.

NEW EDITS LABEL FROM ASP AKA MAZI

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'.

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 !

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!

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!

Special limited Picture Disc edition for this " Cosmic curves", the great first DEE D. JACKSON's Album. Space Disco had his debut with this incredible 70's release. A great collector release , remastered, numbered & strictly limited !!!

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!

A) Super Violao Mashup
B) Recado Pro Pio Lobato

The Main Stem debut with 'Contortion Danse', their first single for Lipservice. It oozes New Wave swag, with James Flanagan's vocals setting the scene. Clash-esque guitar chops and cowbell pings are the order of the day with a hefty bassline and drum workout that keep the groove bumping.
The Rhythm Odyssey Warehouse Dub takes the track down a dirty groove, dubbing things up and adding some 808 Rhythms and tribal bass, coming on like a undiscovered Nu Groove release.
The Main Stem drop their own remix, keeping it smooth and hypnotic with echoes of The Beloved.
Birmingham's slo-mo house / beatdown king Mark-E provides an epic mix of 'Yes Sacrifice', taking us on a spine tingling electronica journey.
