from the tropics comes whiskey disco, a sneaky re-edit label bent on dredging the decanter for diffident dancefloor genius from latent disco perpetrators. it is loosely connected to sleazy mcqueen and his assorted cohorts.
each whiskey disco aims to shed light on forgotten gems of yesteryear. wd42 welcomes two men who need no introduction, kon & jacques renault. both known the world over for their sleek and well-oiled productions and their contributions to the wd catalog are no exception. jacques leads the a-side with disco bass, clattering percussion and sublime vocal crescendo making way for love dance s understated edit of this noodling version of the bill withers classic. kon wraps the b-side with a long and drawn, slightly dubbed and ever-building edit of the album version of promised land.

the a&r edits return with a double-header from hot digits head honcho fingerman. the brighton producer grew up listening to his parents enviable steely dan record collection and for his comeback outing on a&r has retouched the de la soul-sampled classic, peg. a tight circle of djs have road tested this rework over recent times and we ve been inundated with requests for its release. in 1970, new york session drummer bill curtis merged the fatback jazz beat of new orleans into a street funk band and signed his outfit to perception records. over the next decade, they incorporated jazz and disco into their signature funk style, before moving in an r&b direction in the 80s. during this period, american pop success proved elusive, but the group made regular appearances in the uk singles chart, hitting the top twenty three times with (are you ready) do the bus stop , (do the) spanish hustle and i found lovin it s the latter, an anthem on the uk black music scene in 1984, that has been served up here by fingerman, a staple at his casablanca jazz club residency in brighton and now available on wax for the first time.

lonelady nennt parliament/funkadelic, stevie wonder, rufus, prince und arthur russell als inspiration für ihr zweites album, das durchweg unterlegt ist mit einer dringlichen post-punk-sensibilität, die laut künstlerin bezeichnend für die nordenglische seele ist. so erinnern die schlichten drum machine-rhythmen und synthetische percussion an minimal-wave und frühen techno/dance, während lonelady sie mit ihrem komplexen, abgehackten und treibenden gitarrenspiel dynamisch verbindet. produziert wurde *hinterland* von bill skibbe (austra, the kills, the dead weather) in den keyclub recording studios in einer industriezone michigans, wo neben klassischen synths und drum machines auch die 70er flickinger konsole von sly stone steht. das vinyl-album erscheint im klappcover.

where his previous effort, 2014s *the hollow organ*, dealt in dense, distressed sonics, *olympic mess* is younger responding to a period spent engaged with loop-based industrial music, dub techno, and balearic disco. these musical references, all of which can induce hypnotic states and feelings of euphoria, inform ten evocative aural landscapes which unfurl over the course of an hour and act almost as a counterpoint to the turmoil that spawned them.

celebrated and mercury-nominated uk duo rae & christian released their first new material for ten years in 2013 on night time stories/late night tales after spending the last decade meditating in a buddhist monastery in swindon. this year the label commissioned a series of remixes from mercury rising and mang dynasty (aka ray mang & bill brewster) take on favourite game featuring rising star of the swindon buddhist circuit jake emlyn. mang dynasty focus on gita langley s backing vocal hooks adding a chorus piano motif and stretch things out into an epic nine minute plus main version aimed squarely at the dancefloor (and afghanistan). jake emlyns more aurally-pleasing melodic parts are utilised towards the end taking things up another level to a happy finish. initial reactions have been so strong it seemed rude not to slip out a 12inch on mangled, home of the hits!

low-down and dirty jazz goes right back to the early 1900s in storyville, after the bands had played their hot tunes in the evening for dancing couples, the musicians would head off to the after-hours joints and play a less energetic but more bluesy kind of music, enabling them and their late-night audiences to get through to the early hours of the morning without suffering total exhaustion. and nobody in new orleans laid into the blues so low down and dirty as buddy bolden, whose funky butt became a staple in the repertoire of the citys early jazz bands.
jacksonville, florida, 1960. charles hungry williams mentors young clayton fillyau after he had just joined the james brown band: *i dont care where you put it on those drums, remember where 1 is and you ll never lose the time. listen to hungry on huey smiths *talk to me baby* and then listen to how clayton turns it into a relentless breakbeat on james browns *i ve got money*. earl kings *trick bag*, prefiguring the meters, is as good an example of early new orleans funk as can be found.
