the shapeshifters’ studio mastery and dedication to his craft has resulted in singles that stand up alongside golden era disco records as much as they sound fresh on dancefloors today. his rich relationship with glitterbox has yielded instant classics that epitomise the label’s ethos for preserving disco’s mission to uplift and empower, especially with his latest release and debut collaboration with the grammy, tony and emmy award-winning billy porter, ‘finally ready’. now, another of the label’s nearest and dearest, dimitri from paris, steps up to remix the shapeshifters’ latest on a special 7” vinyl package. co-written with billy as a declaration of pride, dimitri adds his signature stylish flare onto the suitably theatrical original. split into two parts, pt. i on the a-side keeps billy’s unmistakable vocal at centre stage, with funk-fuelled organ chords and rich keys bringing dimitri’s sound of paris. on the flip, pt. ii is a more stripped back version, allowing the classic disco instrumentals to really shine, as a previously unheard and powerful spoken-word vocal from billy narrates along with improvised vocals taken from the studio recordings. expertly crafted and brimming with emotion, the joyful message of ‘finally ready’ rings true through billy’s lyrics on both mixes, as dimitri from paris brings a new dimension to this dancefloor essential.

2020 repress! after a relatively long break jaffa surfa makes his return with a new release that is a bit more raw thus shifting the sound of tape hiss into the same direction. in comparison with his previous releases on labels like bosconi extra virgin, all inn records and houseworx he is making an effort to explore new territories with ‘psy lance ep’ while staying true to his trademark housey sound. considering all the musical styles that jaffa surfa is taking inspiration from (from the soul/funk/disco trio, through all shades of house music and all the way up to techno) it doesn’t come as a surprise to see him churning out productions in various styles even within one release. the rolling yet deep ‘psy lance’ complements the playful and trippy ‘bazz’ nicely just as the beatless dj-tool ‘preacha bonus’.

zaki dee, rob mello and luke solomon present heaven and earth! we know, we know, the current re-issue wave of classic house music platters is a bit much - especially the unlawful ones with photocopied artwork. but that is already one reason to do it the proper way. the other one is the fine aural pleasures luke and the likes delivered on this one back in 1995. originally released on the seminal prescription imprint through the channels of chez damier and ron trent, the british heaven & earth project is a rather special one. while space and time (here available in a previously unreleased re-edit that gets by without the peter-daou-like-solo) pays tribute to the archetypal and contemplative sounds of damier/trent, prescription every night draws of the attention to the formative years of dance music, i.e. disco elements (see old azuli records for further reference). these very notions havent lost an iota of their usefulness and veracity, nor have they ever left the rb record bag. re-mastered and re-cut with care by lupo at d&m for your enjoyment and re-released on love made running back records. deep dub disco house!
