on this 12 inch k’alexi is dropping the poetic smooth voice over the remixes of “you are” ov takes it into the jazzy feel with sublime bass and chord structure as we are used to from him. fluffy sounds and smooth backround vocal stabs that makes you want to replay it after it’s finished. maurice joshua is bumping you out your seat with his energetic samba house flavor mix of “you are . this track is right in the middle and can be played in a techno room as well. norman chung is discovered by k’ alexi and provides a supersolid mix-edit of k’s original. words keys and rhythm are dominating the track. flawless production make this a great contribution to this ep. k’ alexis dub mix is uptempo tech-soul-house and will be easily picked up by the techno dj as it is a great tool. echoing “you are’s” floating around and drives you into a haunting synth soundscape.

nice price deal !!! with juno records hitting its tenth release we revisit yet another classic from the archives of electronic music royalty. producer, label boss, dj & remixer extraordinaire, charles webster will need no introduction to house music lovers, and its his 1998 collaboration with renowned uk vocalist shara nelson which gets a 2010 touch up. orignally out on the seminal label pagan, >sense of danger< was a real deep house anthem back in 1998, so it was imperative to leave it in good hands for remix duties. the popular peoples front, the disco house supergroup made up of anonymous musical activists are just that. ppf breath new life into >sense of danger<, with nelsons vocal being matched by an effervescent dubby groove. an alternate dangerous dub gives the track a darker but equally melodic feel with an abrasive bassline central to the groove.

another wicked disco-weirdo bunch of killa tracks from the twisted minds of inflagranti and friends… first release with a brand new sexy sounds superb series generic cover.

z is hitting you with 3 tracks from the debut album by akabu, dave lees pseudonym for his more electronic housey material. the debut akabu album >the phuture aint what it used to be< is due this year and is filled with deep, musical, properly underground grooves but which still posses enough energy to keep the dancefloor busy. boom clap bachelors - a collective of producers, live musicians and djs out of copenhagen / denmark. the collective was founded in 2005 it provided the outlet for future collaboration. the music spans from electronica, disco non disco to leftfield, new wave, soul and indie influcences. remix comes from the mighty motor city drum ensemble

re-issue of an alltime electro-disco classic, made by aleem in 1984.

dave lees excellent better days label with another 4 killer disco edits with very interesting names.

masterpiece here! selected with love by the groove master dj funky chocolate. two extremely rare, sought after, and highly collectable disco/funk/boogie gems from 1982 produced by the great mark iv band & clausel. killer beats, strong basslines, nice melodies, amazing synth work, and sweet soulful male vocals... this vinyl record is just brilliant!!! ltd restock !!!

3rd release of shanti records presents a debut ep of artist dmitry ustinov. known for his parties >idle conversation< in clubs and dj-sets (as yaponets) dmitry now comes with his own disco production under moniker taras 3000. two tracks - slow and shining >white clothes< (produced together with famous local rock-band bi-2) and bassy new-wave flavored galaxis are supplemented by perfect dancefloor-ready remix of galaxis by pete herbert (reverso 68 / eskimo, ubiquity, k2).

finest acoustic & discoid soul funk from 1979

here we have a double a-side 12-inch, with an intriguing new development of the secondo sound. still banging, still aimed at the club but with a sense of maturity and laid-backness, that the previous secondo material for dreck records might not have been centred around. the whole outlook has become more house orientated and we are very excited about this new mixture of the secondo splice-funk with the steadiness of early 90s house generating its own idiosyncratic sound. on the a-side, i think im gonna likeestablishes the housey mood of the 12straight off. a brief vocal sample is dotted over a relaxed rhythm until a break mid-track introduces the second half to its full extent and bloom. ædoktor panglosson the b-side continues with the mid-tempo flavour set out by the aside and is defined by a steady build up towards a disco sample beautifully placed towards the end of the track, where a heavy bass line cuts short the euphoria of disco strings. the sampling and references in both tracks have been pushed to the background and mentioning any of them would not do this exciting new material any justice. its all fresh!

a collection of rare and very sought-after underground british disco, funk and soul tracks avoiding the obvious hits that have been on a million cdÆs already. many of these tracks never went beyond a very small local release but have since become very collectable - buying this lot would set you back somewhere in the four figures.
back street brit funk is the latest compilation from dave lee aka joey negro released on the z records label. the double disc album features highly collectable tracks from the late 70s through to the mid-80s with sleeve notes from soul weekender veteran mark webster.

cool 2010 disco edits !!

re-issue of this 1986 hi-nrg italo-disco classic by digital emotion.

despite dfas disco pedigree, the juan macleans dj-kicks mix is a love letter to straight-up house music. its a driving, sweaty session thick with pumping keys, chunky drum-machine beats and chopped vocals, and it cuts confidently through the sweetest hour of dancefloor communion with filters billowing like sails. recorded specifically for the mix, the juan macleans new single >feel so good< is a perfect distillation of that vibe.

7th release in the series of rare and hard to find soul, disco, funk & boogie, selected by dj funky chocolate.

rick wade, the self-entitled new duke of cologne returns to cologne based yore imprint, the real dukes in town. the detroit based deep house soldier rick wade has been around for a long time and has been releasing deep house tracks long enough to warrant the ‘old master’ title (all the way back in 1993, he built his own studio and established his harmonie park label), and now he returns of the mighty duke of cologne with a three-track yore follow-up to his fabulous 2008 full-length the good, the bad and the deep.it takes mere seconds for the title cuts deep bass-and-drum pulse to work its magic. driven by a slinky backbeat, the tune gets its skanky kick from a wah-wah guitar figure in the background and the silky allure of classic disco-era strings.

nice price deal !!! 8 years after his first vinyl release georg levin can already be described as a long-time yet unlikely member of berlins electronic music scene. with both his solo project and his production outfit wahoo he is definitely too much on the soulful side to be a typical representative of the techno and rock sound the city is known for. however, it may be this supposedly alien surrounding that gives his compositions and productions a distinctive blend. to his credit georg also had a no.1 on traxsource in late 2009 as a precursor to the release of this, his second album album and debut for bbe.

vinyl only release, limited to 500 handnumbered copies!... anlaog raw tech to house tracks always a pleasure to listen .. thats underground live recorded tracks this is a very special release as all the process of manufacturing/mastering/cut of the vinyl has never passed through computer ! like the early years...vinyl was cut directly from the source: so you have a 100% full analogue sound !!!

ferrispark records has always been known for its devotion to unique and soulful releases heavily influenced by the deep sounds of detroit and chicago. carrying on in the same manner is scott fergusons, disco and deep house infused, >midwest born & bred ep<. the first mix of >keep on lovin me< mixes dirty detroit rawness with chi-town acid to get dance-floors stirring while the second mix is more reminiscent of mid-90s nyc and chicago house. in the late hours of the night, flip the record over for the seriously grooving, slow, deep, and druggy, >staggerin & stumblin<.

how is it that every time we come across a band from paris it makes us want to be right there, in their beautiful, hipster culture? its probably the same factor that made us want to live in brooklyn when we discovered sleigh bells, or los angeles when we first came across heartsrevolution, or berlin when, or manchester when, or, or, etc. ok, to be fair, our home town of brighton is plenty cool enough thanks, but this three piece from the gallic capital are definitely made from that most attractive of purest hip. we are suckers for the sexy vocalist, complete with every word seemingly breathed out, rather than sung. its all so effortless and...

ultraphat 80s inspired disco funk classic !! killer

following his singles the hots and remember for dissident earlier this year, little rock co-head the niallist returns with another vinyl cut designed to devastate dance floors. whilst the hots showcased a smooth electro-pop side, and remember updated classic disco sounds, a.c.i.d. trims away the excess, leaving only a jacking 303 beat, squelchy synths and crisp claps. four to the floor, full horsepower and in your face. can you jack

it was only a matter of time. two genre-defining artists together ... pop music and dance musics most famous arbiters of taste, collaborating at last. dj hells >u can dance< is an interpretation of an unreleased bryan ferry song, but its one that reflects a perfect melding of two distinct personalities, a record that sounds as if the voice and music were made for each other.
hell, of course, has been riding high on the success of >teufelswerk<, his masterpiece of a double album, a journey replete with fruitful experiments and club bombs. one that has yielded both massive hits and not a tiny bit of controversy along the way. ferry, meanwhile, has been as busy as ever—recording a new album, performing in places as far afield as siberia, opening up the cannes film festival ... basically just being bryan ferry.
and now here they are together ... it all started in 2006 when hell dropped in to meet ferry at his west london studio. at first they discussed hell remixing an old roxy music track, and then it turned into something else - something new (u can dance).
they had similar impressions of one another — hell: >i was impressed by his aura and his look.<, ferry: >he impressed us with his sophistication and charm.< fast forward a few years later, and hell is hard at work on teufelswerk and putting the finishing touches on the aforementioned song titled >u can dance<, a serpentine moroder-esque disco burner. with the help of old friend peter kruder, of kruder and dorfmeister fame, hell fashioned the song into a smoldering nine-minute highlight of the double disc set, in which ferry turns in a typically assured vocal performance.
ferry may seem like an unexpected fan of dance, but hes been going to clubs since he was a teenager, and in his lengthy career hes worked with legends such as nile rodgers of chic and david williams from michael jacksons band. >its always a pleasure to work with people from that genre, who follow a singular groove.<
