following their recent track on reduxs pick & mix vol. 1, the disco legend that is pete herbert and melbournes golden fleece further cement their collaboration with this full ep on space walker records. >ivory waves< is a 90s influenced cut of uplifting piano-driven balearic house, complete with lush cosmic flourishes, whilst >the bells of hackney< is a more low-slung, but no less powerful production. initially combining a snaking live bassline and spaced-out arpeggios, the track builds to a crescendo as heavily flanged piano and tights guitar licks come into play. the b-side meanwhile serves up two remixes of >ivory waves<, lithuanias downtown party network recompose it as an even more-good time anthem (if such a thing is possible) with their trademark melodic charm, while slovenias sare havlicek takes the track into deeper territory bringing the thick bassline teasing the melody with dubbed out stabs, slowly bringing the huge piano line in before dropping it with force, taking the anthem potential of the original and running with it.

collects all five impeccable singles by new yorks revered neo-disco trio -escort burst onto the scene in 2006 with a string of critically acclaimed 12-s that included future classics starlight and all through the night, both dj staples that still get plenty of play on dancefloors. as djs nursed their electro-clash hangover with a seemingly never ending stream of disco edits, escort stood out, in part, by creating dance music the old fashioned way: with impeccable production, musicianship, and songwriting. the following several years saw them bring the same uncompromising approach to their live show… now escorts long-awaited debut album is finally set for release. the entire album is steeped int he venerable tradition of clublands holy trinity - new york, chicago, detroit - but it seems particularly reminiscent of mutant-pop luminaries such as kid creole & the coconuts and ian dury, who somehow managed to translate their sardonic sensibilities to the dancefloor. and by embracing the legacy of these forward-thinking but classic acts, they have yet managed to create something strikingly new…-

rippling with slow-paced funk and with starry-eyed soul, double hill returns to gadi mizrahis vinyl only imprint double standard this time with fellow israeli and co-producer jerome c for the stellar >i need love ep<.

following their last 12 inch from nightwave, svetlana industries remain in their eastern european heartland with a long awaited ep from 1000names, the bulgarian production duo who made their debut alongside rustie on the now legendary >beatnicks< ep back in 2007. the >machine city< ep follows 2010s album and ep for black acre, as well as mixing for mary anne hobbs on radio 1 and recommendations in pitchfork. the ep marks a development from 1000names, taking giant steps on from their base in the beats scene towards a new sound, taking influence from giorgio moroder and analogue synth disco to imagine a future both optimistic and dystopian. it is like john carpenter meets hip hop and it is as good as that sounds.

recorded over the past three years, across the creative trinity of berlin, brooklyn and the sleepy hollow town of hamilton, near niagara falls in ontario, canada, new looks self-titled debut album is a feverishly anticipated affair. the canadian future pop duo and real life couple, sarah ruba and adam pavao have an undeniable creative synergy, combining the stunning, synth-playing chanteuse and former model, 25-year-old ruba (previously shot by the likes of cult fashion provocateur bruce weber) and multi-instrumentalist, 31-year-old producer pavao.

seventeenth release from the brilliant small world disco edits, this time from ltjs alter ego, one man edit. huge release!

>die dub-version von tensankes< >need your lovin< ist anfang 2010 auf der >coma cat ep<, der erfolgreichsten vinyl-maxi des vergangenen jahres, erschienen und avancierte neben dem titeltrack zu einem weltweiten clubhit. das geheimnisvolle italienische duo tiger & woods hat nun einen discoiden remix mit mächtig pumpender bassline produziert. außerdem ist auf dieser limitierten, im silberfolien-cover kommenden maxi der bisher nicht auf vinyl veröffentlichte vocal mix von >need your lovin< enthalten.

dies ist rollende, funky, sexy und wunderschöne sonnenuntergangs-musik! oldschool rap in einer schwül-modernen boogie art, bearbeitet und angereichert mit joashs himmlischen disco streichern. seine musik mischt dancefloor sounds und jazz-rhythmen mit orchestralen arrangements. das ergebnis ist eine tiefe und schöne klanglandschaft voller strings, komplexer drum-patterns und atmosphärischer elektronik.

the producer behind these mind-blowing slabs of heavyweight disco-funk perfection was one jp source, an exile from the geordie ibiza (that will be blackpool) and geordie mecca (erm, newcastle) now living out in the sticks in the states, far from home. the eps title, >get your bearings<, is reference to his struggles to come to terms with his new surroundings.
three tracks, all tried and tested, all disco dynamite. since he sent us these killer edits, jp source has begun to pick up interest elsewhere. he recently released an excellent ep of original material on audio parallax and has material forthcoming on edit, zzr and art star records. we reckon he has got a big future. all the more reason to >get your bearings< and dive into his bedmo disco debut…

a shiny picture disco for slow motion records release number 7 - disco wizard by francisco from jolly music. beamed from distant satellites via 1983 and picked up by a crack team of berlin based italian disco commandoes, the disco wizard brings to mind space, the tougher end of pre-84 italo, guys with beards and grace jones and amanda lear dancing the night away. a nagging baseline propels the track forward with alternating male and female vocals that coo and tease, whilst twinkling refrain evokes the giogio morders classic >the chase<. on the flip side the dub mix strips away most of the vocals and injects some serious strut into the beats. the rougher, tougher cousin of the original to send the boys and girls wild with cosmic desire. you have been warned.

exploring anything from sunshine boogie to straight-up melodic house on this new 10inch vinyl release, brussels-based billy palmier is following his 2008 madeinjapan release with flair. featuring the vocal talents of vinylic, mandy and none other than dj lefto !

just when you thought sixty fives output had ceased, along comes another superb double header of dancefloor gems, jaz on the edit, so you know theyll work. essential!

in den letzten jahren hat house-musik eine nie vermutete renaissance erlebt. junge produzenten haben dieses nun fast 30 jahre alte genre neu entdeckt und auf die höhe der zeit gehievt. eine neue generation hat diesem genre nun endlich wieder die energie und den enthusiasmus der anfangszeit zurückgegeben. das münchner label permanent vacation hat diese entwicklung bereits 2009 mit einer hervorragenden compilation dokumentiert. >if this is house i want my money back zwei< knüpft daran kongenial an. enthalten sind 12 exklusive tracks von produzenten, die aus aller herren länder kommen - darunter namen wie soul clap, trickski, pional, john talabot, session victim, jacob korn, good guy mikesh & filburt, hunee oder die permanent vacation-jungs selbst.

this november sees the return of singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, dj and erstwhile wah wah 45s label boss, adam scrimshire, with his mesmerising second album -the hollow-. the much anticipated follow up to 2008s -along came the devil one night- sees scrimshire going back to his soulful roots, but at the same time, carving a more contemporary, electronic sound. theres also a nod to the dance floor on the new single -home-, featuring faye houston of resonators fame, the latin flavoured -everything you say- with cinematic orchetras heidi vogel on vocal duties, and the epic -ascension- featuring label mates hackney colliery band. there are more mellow moments too of course – stac provides the voice for the sublime -alignment- and joins the man himself on the mic for -through a window-, long time collaborator inga lill-aker is sure to draw a tear on the stunning -ode to daddy-, and scrimshire takes on the vocals once again on the melancholic opener -a promise is all it was-. add to that the dark, keyboard led trip that is -afar- featuring jessica lauren and matthew halsalls harpist rachael gladwin bringing matters to an exquisite close on the title track, and youve got yourself a next level piece of work from a man whos finally getting the recognition he deserves.

having played host to the first two daphni edits 12 inches, resista return with the label debut of one tom croose.
one half of ny duo worst friends, toms previous discographic output was a limited & stamped 7 inch that featured a killer edit of the macs >never going back again<. for resista no. 3 he delves into territories brazilian, with >cho chua<, a faultless rework of a certain tropicalista, designed for discerning dancefloors, circa ad 2011. he loops up the swinging guitar intro, which combined with the vocal hook makes for a heady mix. its an uplifting, joyous ode to all things tropical!
on the flip the >dukes dub< is a subtler more restrained version that makes greater use of effects and surprisingly brings the songs percussive elements to the fore... not quite as direct as its sibling on the a-side but definitely as effective!
