a legend of techno music on tigersushi. we are really proud!
an electro hacktivist since the 90s, french techno pionneer, inventor of what became electro clash with miss kittin, true italo disco lover, legitimate son of dopplereffekt and kraftwerk and godfather of the new french sensation gesaffelstein with whom he runs the label zone. when michel amato (his real name) contacted us with a few tracks we felt so honored. he really got back to his roots here with deep italo and electro, warm analog synths against cold robotic drum machines, great melodies. it would have been a hit on the now defunct cbs radio.

phunky disco edits... on red vinyl

after only a tiny time-out cómeme can t help but remain restless and return even more internationalist than before, since this ep brings together artists from moscow, medellin and cologne, as well as guests from spain. its a collection of tracks that translate comemes ever quintessential voltage into different musical temperaments, drawing the bow from infectious semi-electronic body music and cumbia-inspired rhythm affairs to detached pitch-frenzied sequence-disco and a sphinxy creature with fanfares and whiplashes.

limited vinyl edition with fresh 2012 house / disco edits

more brilliant disco edits from whiskey discos camp! two big re-edit version by sunshine jones.

disco mali! sofrito present a unique slice of afro-disco from the celebrated griot, niama makalou, recorded in the late 70s.
descended from a family of griots (traditional malian praise singers), niama makalou moved to france in the mid 70s where she cut this, her one and only vinyl release. at the time paris (like much the rest of the world) was swept up in disco fever, so along with a group of malian musicians the date was set to cut a piece of disco, griot style. the resulting mixture of off kilter hand claps, raw string arrangements, balafon flourishes and bambara vocals combine with a heavy disco groove to produce a one-off piece of cross-cultural dancefloor mayhem.
on the flip daphni (aka caribou) crafts an extended version that distills it into a stripped down and dubbed out groove.

disco deviance is coming straight outta chicago for their latest release as legendary dj and edit supremo rahaan wields the blade on two lost disco classics. proceedings kick off with the looped up chicago-style boogie of >make me whole<, a groove that is 100% guaranteed to work the dance floor. while over on the flip, rahaan digs even deeper into the crates and comes up with >shut up & rock me< an absolute dance floor bomb of a cut! lovingly edited and re-mastered for modern floors.

the first release for their rogue cat sounds imprint is the >no stress express!<, a beautiful piece of swampy psychedelic disco/rock. the 11min original takes you on a dark ethereal adventure thru spiky guitar riffs, mutant brass stabs, melting warm fender rhodes piano, silky deep synth chords, an array of sexy afro percussion, heavy dub live bass, and a lush but eerie live string section which all comes on like a dinosaur l jam session via a david mancuso loft party! so go on and take a walk on the rogue side of town baby!

part one of session victims haunted house of house sampler is already going down an absolute storm with the likes of dop, james teej, catz n dogz and tornado wallace declaring it >superb<, >inspiring<, >fantastic<, and bloody ripping, respectively. nows the time for part two containing four more cuts of the good stuff and by now you know what we are talking about here, deep, sample-heavy, rough around the edges but smooth in all the right places. basically good oldfashioned instrumental moods and grooves which will appeal equally to those old enough to remember the golden era of pork recordings as it will to the hip young vinyl heads with a nose for anything disco. enjoy, support and keep them peeled for the final installment part three coming very soon

dubbed the >next hot natured< & following on from the first two successful sleazy releases we bring you the new signing from cassino, italy. william medagli fuses deep house vibes and a nudisco vision which is really going to set the floors alight. williams style is straight up moog magic mixed with classy & classic sounding vocals, so much so you feel youve heard them before! his sound really does keep you locked into a futuristic grooved out disco inferno

this selection is about the tracks that would inform henry street, the tracks found deep within the complex strings of its dna, the tracks championed by pettibone on kiss or by washington at the studio, or those dredged from crates across the city. half-heard anthems from italy tracked down through forensic research in the record shops of the five boroughs, rare dub versions of classics that you wont be finding on ebay anytime soon. this is real disco.
>these are the secret weapon tracks, but more personal to me and people from my world. i m pulling records from different places. this is how i play records. its not fake. i have never been a set dj and always played just about every genre of music, from the fastest uptempo disco anthem, to the most ghetto rap jam to zeppelin. music is music. a good dj can play it all. a great dj can play it all technically correct!<

this band from houston, texas scored several hits with >i cant stop dancing<, >tighten it up< and >strategy<.
archie bell & the drells released seven albums in ten years and the tension that existed on their previous two records, which slipped back and forth across the disco/funk divide, is gone here. >strategy<, including honky tonk pianos, swelling strings sections, thumping basslines and soul singing background vocalists making this one of their best albums. elements of barry white and harold melvin making this album a full disco album. it made it to #37 in the r&b charts, and music on vinyl has the honour to re-release it for the first time on vinyl since its original release.

whilst some people claim that the number seven is lucky, some people, like duff, dont believe in luck, or if there is such a thing as luck you make your own. you cant rely on anyone else to hold your hand you know, you gotsta forge your own path, they arent called the mean streets for nothing. duff is the sort of man who not only makes his own luck (cos who else is gonna look after you?) but he keeps an eye on his bredren too. those in the neighbourhood feel safe because all is good in duffs hood, always has been, always will be, the police dont even come there, because they don’t have to, that block is on lock-down brother. though he isnt some type of machismo, over-the-top (hat back go-on sly) caricature, its just the way it is, nuthin to argue about. he has a way about him, the glare of a pitbull and the smile of don juan, dusty is his girl yep thats her real name, the name her mamma gave her on the day she was introduced to this world. the girl is fine thats for sure but what else would you expect from the honey that rides shotgun with the sonic casanova. she might call herself lucky. duff would disagree.
