edits may be dead, but just when your elitist attitude comes to a head and you think you re on top of your game, there will always be someone deeper, faster and still motivated enough to rekindle your digging desires. where blackdisco volume 10 saw the return of lovefingers and nitedog, volume xi pushes forward into new territory (and with a new aesthetic) by welcoming a group of three deep diggers who shun musical trends and their inherent fakers. dea, albion & spacelex combine their vinyl-mining efforts to unearth some real diamonds from the rough. deas cut malaka is a floater with a funky sailboat vibe, while his complimentary cut taubat takes the tired jungle disco vibe to new level with its triumphant synth-led chorus, an absolute stunner that could be extended for 20 minutes. on the flip, albion spoons water over the coals, steaming up the joint with an uptempo percussion bomb as if santana had a disco secret, and spacelex rides us out with a sexy rock groove complete with mysterious male voiceover, almost as if someone lowered the volume to whisper in your ear.

lovefingers and nitedog return to their blackdisco label for the 10th release! straight up fun party jams for 4 different moments in the night. lovefingers starts off side a with the pumping macho disco america (cut from a freaky italian 45 and a stallions staple) and nitedogs anonstop project throws down the mid-tempo bassline bobber martial arts. on side b, lovefingers drops a funky/junky eastern guitar stomp on slim jim (another freaky 45, this time french), and nitedogs anonstop project closes out with a super funky warm burner. primates. all heat, no bullshit, and of course… no repress!

hot off the heals of their last release, blackdisco is back with another friend from the deep. a great tastemaker and all-around record freak, sebastian grätz aka basso, digs up some high class nuggets to round out the summer months. these four tracks conjure imagery of long nights in sweaty jazz-funk speakeasies from the darkest corners of the globe.

the latest addition to the blackdisco series is the duo thriftcotheque made up of long-time la music fixtures eddie ruscha (laughing light if plenty, food of the gods, secret circuit, future pigeon) and jason mason. appropriately named, their dollar bin crackled jams have been given new lives on this 4 track ep. limited pressing!

lovefingers & nitedog welcome dutch beat head extraordinaire abel nagengast to the blackdisco family. get ready for side a, round in circles boasts the fattest undiscovered laidback groove underneath a funky chicken scratch guitar and sexy female vocal that you ll think you recognize, but think again. side b roughs you up with a gritty, raw wah wah guitar and marching beat on inner haze and cools off with seductively sleazy looped riff on hunting man. all three tracks are top notch leftfield burners. dont sleep, no repress as usual...
