supported by tornado wallace (delusions of grandeur), pete herbert (reverso 68/dance disorder)... when jay shepheard launched retrofit in early 2010, deep house with a splash of disco was on the menu. six releases later and the quality of music hasnt faltered once. jays own work has always been the main focus on all five releases but for retrofit 6, rudys midnight machine, (who is in fact robin lee of faze action) takes to the stage alongside an appearance from shepheard (as ee_ef_ex) on remixing duties. >ecstatic love glow< kicks off the ep, diving head first into the disco and synth heavy realm that we expect from retrofit (and, for that matter, from mr lee), whose house outputs with faze action as far back as 97 speak for themselves. the intro of tip tapping hats and congas leads into a penetrating bass guitar, a riff that goes on to be cleverly mirrored by keyboards and later, by what sounds like a scratchy lakland guitar. wooden hats, sirens and a plethora of cosmic elements boogie their way around until the tracks dominant synth parades in and takes over the arrangement, striking a dramatic and smug pose at the close of each stab. the second track of >east side good living< sticks with its predecessors groove, cosmic sirens, electronic whistles and metallic drum taps yet again highlighting rudys modern disco sound

trickle down ep includes the title track and remixes of top selections from the album including a remix of >trickle down< by new yorks finest hercules & love affair, a remix of >human, unfortunately< by jori hulkkonen (turbo, fcomm) and >farewell, welfare< by siyoung (plastic little, secluasis). the ep also includes the originals >nightfall< and >trickle down< for your listening pleasure. lo fi ballads by jori hulkkonen that are sure to captivate.

the number one 1992 album which garnered six grammy awards

holy grail alert!! possibly the most sought after cosmic disco lp in the galaxy!!! black hole was a brazil only release with four superlong tracks, themed around heroes and movies. the 4 super killer tracks are bursting with dope space sirens, arpeggio synths and spaced out sound effects. all thrillers, no fillers, here is a chance to get the epic i feel love styled me and my superfriends track so sought after by collectors. ultra limited press, sleep and weep!!!

zwei rastlose grenzgänger frönen dem pop: das furiose süddeutsche duo pollyester veröffentlicht sein debütalbum earthly powers und experimentiert mit spacigen hooklines in der krautdisco. mit ihren weltweit gefeierten eps auf ihrem eigenen imprint love in c minor und permanent vacation haben sich polina lapkovskaja alias polly und manuel da coll alias yossarian bereits als zeitgenössisches produzentenduo voller Überraschungen einen namen gemacht.

somewhere between center parcs in nottingham and the white sandy perfection of formentera reside two men dedicated to the art of horizontal dancing. their mums call them ampo and timm (funny names, those notts lads), though we know them by their collective name of coyote. in their minds eye, it is still 1986 and there are leathery looking germans with alarming posing pouches dancing to simply red records on the shimmering terrace at ku club while down the road alfredo is building his legendary reputation at amnesia. apart from the clued-up few, most of the brits are billeted in san antonio where the beers are cheap and the sunburn is plentiful. coyotes music, despite being produced in the east midlands conjures up a world of sun, sea and 80s glamour, while still sounding very much like today.

das zodiak free arts lab, auch bekannt als zodiak club, war eine temporäre gleichwohl sehr einflussreiche location für experimentelle live musik ende der 1960er. von kreuzberger künstlern 1967 im damaligen west berlin gegründet, war das zodiak free arts lab für eine weile ein wahres paradies für musiker, denn das laboratorium war ausgestattet mit instrumenten, verstärkern und lautsprechern, mit denen jeder ganz nach lust und laune spielen und experimentieren durfte.
vier jahrzehnte später hatte argy die idee, das konzept des clubs wieder zu beleben. argy ist einer der wenigen produzenten, die dieser tage einen völlig eigenen dance music sound kreieren, wie man an solch großartigen eps wie >love dose< (auf pokerflat inc. erschienen) hören kann oder bei seinen remixen für ibadan und defected und natürlich auch bei all den anderen vielzähligen projekten, in die er involviert ist. anschließend an den zodiak club der 60er hat argy für einen kurzen zeitraum seine eigenen privaten räumlichkeiten in berlin geöffnet um mit kollegen und freunden zu jamen. argy konzentrierte sich jedoch nicht nur auf musik-experimente, sondern lud seine gäste ein mit ihm gemeinsam an einer reihe von happenings teilzunehmen, wie zum beispiel an live musik sessions, abendessen, der gemeinsamen erfahrung der vielen facetten von schönheit, konversationen und allerlei anderen bizarren oder exzentrischen erlebnissen.

the word genius is not a term we like to use loosely when speaking about our artists but giorgio sancristoforo aka tobor experiment fits the bill. a gifted musician, soft synth designer, found sound pioneer and he still finds time to make forward thinking disco pop for bearfunk as tobor experiment >disco experience<.
after a well received ep in 2008 we sent giorgio back to the studio with the remit to make an lp so special that it could open new doors for us. well he certainly delivered! opening with the sweet modern disco sounds of >postcards from a nervous breakdown< we then get the first taste of giorgios song writing prowess with >breathe< a rather intense little number.

a stunning surprise is awaiting: label director florian schirmacher developed something completely out of the box together with the living techno legend mijk van dijk: the chaenge after the preliminary release of the single >love devotion< on david carrettas french label space factory now follows the debut album by the chaenge! funk is back?

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!

excellent 2011 edits !! tipp

black gold also contains a rendition of sandy denny s who knows where the time goes, in a minimalist arrangement that ends in an uplifting orchestration true to both the writer of the song and the performer. throughout the entire performance ms simone keeps a regal, aloof and sometimes goofy composure, her monologues in between songs ushering the listener a little closer to her moving performance.

as pete isaac from jelly jazz said, makala does tasty club rocking tunes that fuse old school rumba, salsa, reggae, swing and mambo with breakbeats and chugging 4 to tha floor beats. remix action here from our friends and heroes dusty and dubben. both delivering amazing takes on the originals. watch out for makalas new album, coming soon!

original motion picture soundtrack

with niko schwinds first album for stil vor talent you never loose the feeling that each of the tracks would work harmoniously on the dancefloor, but also within the concept of this album that goes from slow-moving vocal house to pretty nifty tech-house and back. niko schwind is a magician when it comes to producing very fine and mature pieces of house music that are sure to work great on the dancefloor. maybe niko has had the dj in mind that he is himself, as the tracks seem to perfectly provide great productions, but also the ideal ability to mix them in and out, with little samples providing great audible cues. after all, as the title suggests >good morning midnight< is an album with the dancefloor in mind

jeremy glenns >new life ep< is filled will sun-drenched euphoria, it comes bearing soul, embraces jeremys natural pop sensibilities and celebrates the underground scene thats shaped him as a dj. the title track takes us down to the beach with its 90s pads and thumping bass line to hang out with mitch buchanan, >found a love< reminds us of a rare vintage cut that the revenge or jacques renault dig up (check that acid line!) while >overtime oozes of prince. alex barck of jazzanova also rolled out a cheeky feel good remix of new life. its sure to make you grab a partner, throw them into a twirl or two and play an air bass guitar. already jeremy glenn has shared the decks with james murphy, tensnake and andy butler as well as performing live alongside dam-funk, aeroplane, and alexander robotnick. check the video by dakota of >new life< and take in all 80s boobs, 90s muscle, yachts and tiger fades

tony lionni with a hot 4-tracker for kerri chandlers madhouse records.

nice price deal !!! with again and again, the second album from the swedish-american outfit thieves like us, the band sculpts their vintage electronic sound into honest, sentimental pop.

a very special release here from legendary rave producer eon, aka ian loveday. loveday, who passed away in 2009, was known and loved for his enduring impact on uk dance culture, although sadly this was the one and only release on his zarnak records imprint (although loveday himself released 12 inches on a host of labels including pal sl, vinyl solution and plus 8). upon release the papal magnet 12 inch sold out swiftly and soon became a highly sought after record - this batch was found recently and has been passed onto us with the blessing of lovedays family. on the a side you will find the relentless late night throb of >cable rider< - 90s techno at its finest. flip over for the moody introspection of >passing clouds< and raw, dusty analogue thump of >crosstown< - our pick of the bunch. an excellent release.

the band celebrated their 25th anniversary by touring the world, which started in 2002 and concluded in 2003. they recorded their show in amsterdam and released it in late 2003. music on vinyl is proud to release this album for the first time on vinyl.

an experimental surf dance quintet. fixers have been playing and recording together for just under a year, blending the sixties psychedelic childlike innocence of brian wilson and bruce haack with the spaced out eighties avant-garde dance of arthur russell, dead can dance and tom tom club.

two relentless party tracks and one house track vith retro vibes! featuring awanto 3, tom trago and aardvarck.

two cover versions taken from the essential album gitano real. >i believe in miracles< is an overwhelming take on the jackson sisters classic in a rumba funk fashion. party stomper! and on the other side, a longer trip departing from mcfadden and whiteheads seminal >aint non stoping us now< and touching the revered latin disco version of charanga 76, only to end up as a fabulous clap-driven rumba stormer. two very necessary sun-soaked tunes for any self-respecting dj on neat transparent yellow vinyl. and yes, its a limited edition!

fresh up is ed dmxs 7 inch label specialising in strictly limited edition 45rpm singles showcasing the finest in new-old-sounding library funk, moog disco and vocoder boogie sounds.
