bermuda is a rare project from kimmo oksanen and roberto rodriguez. fusing synthed out deep house and disco vibes the talented pair have crafted a real blast from the past with the super cool retro styled ihasama. the release comes in three fantastic versions. firstly the thrilling nacho marco remix fuses 80s vibes with a modern approach as he twists the originals synths into an old school jacking house jam! the extended club music edit sees oksanen and rodriguez open up the energy levels with a more discofied, running mix. subtle key changes and some genius instrumentation really bring this mix to life, as its rousing synthlines do the business. finally up and coming uk producer jay shepheard reinterprets ihasama into a funky, light hearted jam thats perfect for the summer sun. soft strings rise and fall before a walking bassline brings it back it back home. more great work from this growing talent!

m.a.n.d.y. and matthew dear lit up new york city in 2010, with their buddies club night, and - as m.a.n.d.e.a.r. - with their own urban dancefloor myth, the unreleased track >buddies<. the cut fused deep hypnotism with dancefloor abandon, swirling sheen hints of disco and an infectious sing-along hook. by keeping it close to their chests for months on end, m.a.n.d.e.a.r. drove anticipation into fever pitch, and >buddies< finally burst out of the gate in october as the opener of thomas schumachers 8 years get physical music compilation. now, >buddies< is fully realized with reworks from some of the best in the business - m.a.n.d.y., radio slave, smash tv and siopis. philipp jung and patrick bodmer make >buddies< over into a sleek late night beast with their m.a.n.d.y. remix

following up their awesome 12 inch on claremont 56, almunia (leonardo ceccanti and gianluca salvadori) unleash their debut lp with a sweet heady mix of overdubbed disco, guitars and psyched out grooves.
deluxe 350gsm gatefold with heavy weight printed inner sleeves on uncoated stock, limited to 300 handnumbered copies.

the newly crowned dutch emporium of all things disco tinged swiftly presents a second round of vinyl-only gems - commencing with the classic philly disco boogie strains of >just cant get enough< which contains just the right amount of deviations into sonic filtration. complementing this is the instrumental boogie heat of >lets go swingin< which fully demonstrates the majestys pleasure talent for slicing and dicing the groove. turn over for the insistent chugging sounds of >tainted binary< which unfolds brilliantly into a string heavy disco epic. the best is perhaps saved for last as >didnt mean to dub u off< reveals itself as a crystalline filled excursion into 80s proto house excellence.

mario basanov is one of the most highly gifted and versatile producers rising up through ranks of electronic music. with a staggering ten years production experience that belies his young age, mario is as comfortable remixing major label acts as he is crafting his beguiling deep disco / house sound. a number of unforgettable tracks have been unleashed over the past couple of years including >caribbean girl<, >do you remember?< and >up<. mario basanov returns on needwant to showcase his vocal talents for the first time with >lonely days<. the studio master from lithuania delivers the ultimate serotonin boosting package, decked out with remixes from drop out orchestra and downtown party network.

yam who?s ism label come through with a four track slice of disco centric futurism, featuring the man yam himself alongside pbr streetgang and ron basejam. its the latter who takes the lead with a remix of alenas >changes< that sees her sultry vocal teased by a most excellent of analogue synth leads that splurges brilliantly across the crisp mid tempo chug. yam who? teams up with vocalist natasha watts for the similarly bottom heavy bump of >i m in love< which has a certain warehouse appeal to it. on the flip, pbr pay respect to the godfather of soul james brown with the gritty flex of >j2thab< with the sadly departed mr brown strangely sounding at times like he wants to go to tesco. we always took him for a waitrose man, but regardless this is probably the track you will reach for most! finally brothers young do their thing to a trammps classic, with little more than the bassline retained.

hfn music launches a new sub-label with hfndisko - an outlet for some of the groovier finds. lightbluemover is the somewhat mysterious new artist gifted with the chance to kick start this new project. and what a start it is! >girn<, featuring the equally mysterious blacklightsmoke, is an extended, wild pitch journey into the smoky, synth-voiced slow house. beautifully mad, pitching synths and a husky vocal all add up as lazy beats lift this stoner-anthem into new levels the sci-pop disco meets psychobilly fusion that is >ddisco< is a further surprise and really gives us a view into lightbluemover extravert world. meandering synths and spooky passages drift and saunter through a bouncing, tense field of analog love.

kompakt has always been partial to belgium as they have been tremendously loving to us ... leading the charge of support have been our friends mugwump – the dynamite duo that comprises of geoffoy and the star of our show today – kolombo. we have had a great strain of releases with them over recent times and many will remember kolombo from a number of big tunes for turbo, vice versa and boxer recordings. kolombo pays tribute to the spirit of slo-mo belgian new beat with >waiting for<. a 105 bpm driven concoction of classic house, balearic disco lead by the voice of 80s pop maestro howard jones of his memorable hit >everlasting love< means yes, we have a winner!

go disco! a call to all who fall in love with the song >sue is blue<. everything is focused on the slow, but swinging groove, including individual flashing fragments of the 20s. a dirty house music base drum pushes this track towards the dancefloor. the piece >offshore< takes you on a journey with its epic, modest and balanced mood, which turns out to be a dancefloor sensation. >teheran traffic< is speeding up the tempo. the b-side is determined by a powerful sound. just as the >far from here edit< by philipp wolgast works well in the club.

exploited serve an ace from consistent, a group of well known producers working under the cloak of anonymity. previously having released on frontroom and boe with remixes for tartelet and man recordings, consistents track >feeling high< dices vocals and disco vibes into a house heavyweight something like hot city meets soundhack, coming with certified anthem status. get involved for the polished berlin-meets-chicago modernism thatll get you sweaty as a taxi drivers neck in july. its difficult to say whether this is tech house or deep house, strictly speaking, but either way the title track bumps. it funks and, although were told it comes from berlin, its damned chicago. this is the 2nd single from consistent (remember aint no bump?) on exploited. early support by kink (rush hour), optimo (jd twitch), laurent garnier (f-com), dj t (get physical), dj hell (gigolo), erol alkan (phantasy), brodinski (turbo), feadz (ed banger), round table knights (made to play), ian pooley robert dietz (cecille), till von sein (suol), adam port (liebe*detail), lee jones (watergate), stuffa (trunkfunk), mosca (nightslugs), lazer sword (stonesthrow/numbers), pezzner (freerange/om), acidpauli (console/notwist), jamie anderson (artform)

early support by jacques renault, jon sa trinxa, disco bloodbath, dj hendrix, bottin, more to follow... hell yeah recordingss sister disco label danny was a drag king is on a roll! italian dj/producer luminodiscos music stands out from the current stagnant re-edit game, his brilliant production skills are obviously influenced by the best of the past but aimed to original purposes. new single balerama is no exception, its a midtempo balearic journey, dreamy but chunky and funky enough to get your dancefloor locked into it. coffee mugs is an exclusive smokin bonus track on the vinyl edition. luminodisco is definetely here to stay, stay tuned for more. remixes: italian indietronica band tempelhof into a kind of basic channel mood provide a pure class tripped out electronic-house remix. austrian born, london living and universal dreamer giulio dj (is it balearic, elevator people) gets fully balearic adding some pure bliss vocals (courtesy of izzy)... one for sa trinxa beach...if you know what we mean

killer 2 track phunky / disco edits .. for your pleasure. no digital release!! already played by tobi neumann, ricardo villalobos, reboot and many many more

a1: just cant get enough - funky track. really cool disco feel, easy going. proper funky vibe, cool bass and a great vocal!
b2: someday - really smooth track. killer vocals, nice bass and beautiful brass! awesome!

debut release comprising of members from bumrocks & dazzle ships, this duo brings a limited 12 inch with their slow churning cosmic disco vibe. complete with a big drum sound, spaced out synth work, & a tropical beach like vibe, this is a great introduction to the zoovox journey.

peters love of obscure disco and house shows in this solo album - wide ranging influences have gone into the musical hot-pot. take the slo-mo lazy groove of lead track and opener love is the key . this sets the sonic palette, laid back, underground and understated (but cucumber cool) throughout. deliberately absent are the commercial and pseudo-poppy sounds from the visti and meyland 2010 debut. this record is a club affair, less in your face and more all around you . for example lost in space is one part elastic groove, one part melodious, enveloping ambience and one part progressive disco groove. tracks such as i m out the door , bubble bubble and drinking in darkness are more direct, straight dance floor booty-shaking grooves. as is what you would expect from the man who has dj stamped firmly into his dna.

excellent disco monster

nice price deal !!! lipservice are proud to welcome a new addition to their label roster. out of city are a tuscan based trio and are no strangers to the scene. having already worked with labels like eskimo and dc recordings they make a melting pot of sounds with their fingers and thumbs!
in dino storai, simone fedi and nicola lopetuso we find a band that seem to effortlessly combine synth music with disco, rock and punk, and their forthcoming lp for lipservice is a real joy to listen to from start to finish.

yambee! is the first collaboration between dancefloor giants ashley beedle and yam who?. chemical love is an epic sampledelic jazz dancer with detroit overtones (think theo parrish or moodymann) thats sure to mash up any dance. natural off is a lysergic disco monster which gives a nod to the hard times we are living in. this will be the first of a series of yambee! 12inch platters that will be coming out on ashleys out hear audio imprint.

gravitating into the nang tractor-beam next is a brand new artist, no logo. for big dogs pete gooding and steve miller to consider us for putting out their eclectic project is an honour indeed. ibiza and london based pete gooding is a dj tour-de-force and his pairing with one of chill outs leading lights steve miller (afterlife, lux, northern lights etc) was always gonna be an interesting one. the dancefloor acumen of pete with the downtempo-grooves and all around musicality from steve.

super disco album von raw chicago bis ganz zart und vor allem ganz deep...

after the very well-received work >in g< borngräber & strüver have not been resting on their laurels but made >reise< (journey). they extended the concept of >21th century electro motoric kraut< on the new album >urlaub< and added their preference for disco music. like a friend of the label said: >reise – sounds like a composition for the 20th birthday of carl craigs planet e<. borngräber & strüver have consistently worked on developing their minimalist compositions without taking into consideration conventions. the nearly 17-minute >reise< that starts extremely held back, grows into a groovy trip you can hardly escape. >berlin tribal music< has a radically minimalist approach and a surprising break like a portal to a parallel dimension. the last part of the album >dancing queen< has nothing to do with abba. the piece is a missing link between electronic h-pop and groovy club sounds.

nice price deal !!! the music of the cologne based duo kitbuilders can be described as electro with scifi-punkrock-energy and a grebo edge. a remarkable element in the tracks are the vocals of female singer ripley. in the kitbuilders-cosmos you will also find the sparks in their moroderphase, chris and cosey, neu and devo. but their music is not 80s retro stuff, they include a lot of futuristic and fresh elements in their songs. after a handful of 12 inch singles and compilation appearances on labels like electrecord, world electric, vertical and ersatz audio, >wake up< was the debut full length from the duo. the us magazine xlr8r called it >...an excellent hybrid of the past and present<. alongside american outfits like adult. and fischerspooner, kitbuilders are at the forefront of the worldwide electro revolution. equal parts moroder and liquid sky, the duo of benway and ripley fluctuate between adrenaline-rush bpm 909 beats, fluttering sci-fi arpeggiations and tense, sinister moodiness.

part iii ? manipulation musik. manipulation musik is the darkest and most cinematic piece on this collection of eps. delicate manipulated melodies and melancholic strings moves in and out of a crackling and distorted soundscape, telling an experimental sound tale with a sad ending. on b-side redshape (present, delsin) makes a remix solely using sounds from the original. redshape described his tape dub version like this: ?think disco dub, plonk & pain?. not much to add to that ? it kind of says it all. enjoy!

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!

the horses come back to jazzmin with a more disco take on house music. >acid village< is a midtempo burner that combines acid, big arpeggio bassline and moody strings with a vocal that will probably encourage you to hold your hands in the air. b-side is a remix from modern disco/funk band los charlys orchestra, by adding vocals, synths and electronic percussions to the original the horses take it to another level of floor-filling. this ep announces their forthcoming album on jazzmin, release in september!

proving they cant be pigeon holed into any one particular niche, midnight lab band returns with a 7-inch release inspired by 80s drum machines and provocative synthesized chops. >laser tag< is a high powered infusion of dark disco soundscapes, a thumping yet nostalgic vision of dance music through the lens of mlb. on >dons demo<, the lab dives into the family archives to resurrect and refashion an obscure yet timely recording from don stark. channeling earlier eras of mid-tempo mustache soul and one-man synthesized ensembles, this is a slow boogie burner to ride to.

nice price deal !!! excellent 4 track ep with groove nyc influenced disco

wild rumpus is bitches brew head honcho colleen cosmo murphy (cosmodelica / classic album sundays) and former captain beefheart axeman and jeff buckley collaborator gary lucas. with wild rumpus they bring together seemingly contradictory sounds such as disco, rock, surf music, blues, dub and country while enlisting some extraordinary talent along the way. his latest effort is the most indulgent wild rumpus song yet and is somewhat of a cross between ashra temple and giorgio moroder clocking in at an epic 12 minutes. the remix is courtesy of mudd and has balearic classic written all over it. the single also includes an instrumental version of >tikkety-boo< which is a preview to the vocal version with lambchops kurt wagner which will be featured on the album.

cyber dance records are proud to present their first album release >messages from the void vol. 2<. after six years of gaining a worthy reputation for only releasing the finest material from up and coming electronic artists such as andy romano, matzo & pauli, mark du mosch, brassica, ali renault and many more they finally showcase on double-vinyl and cd a compilation that confidently re-defines the sound of the label in more exciting and varied directions at once than ever before. consisting of eleven tracks that range from electro to synth-pop and from italo to disco-funk, the album features contributions from cyber dance regulars like mark du mosch, ali renault and tommy walker 3 alongside tracks from emerging artists like bill ambrose, brassica, meschi and serious lover and also the more mysterious night system and martin aston.

this is the remix version of the sold-out 12 inch moon jocks n prog rocks and it features remixes from todd terje (2 remixes actually), montezuma as well as frisvold & lindbaek.
whether you find any truth in that or not, one thing is for sure, the new single by the printer-galactic troopers of mungol is one hell of a ride through the sonic wonders of discofied art involving one dudes rather merciless meeting with the (un)godly. it only happens occasionally, but it does happen. you have probably heard rumors, or read about it somewhere. maybe it even happened to you? with >moon jocks n prog rocks<, mungolian jetset have put it - literally - on the record: abductions by beatmongering disco aliens with prog-rock fetishes are on the rise, sometimes with hilariously fatal consequences, such as this tale of one unfortunate individuals meeting with the more funky forces of the cosmos.

another super funky bunch of groovin disco goodies from the par-tay camp. first up is got the hots for u, a wonderful edit of a lost double exposure track, removing some dubious vocal sections and stretching out the groove and turning it into a funky floor-filling monster. the flip side sees two more spot-on extended edits, firstly high on da boogie, a smokin funky groove with awesome vocals and the dirtiest of b-lines while æfunk it up sees 70s glam rockers the sweet stretched out for maximum dancefloor appeal. great stuff!

maxmillion dunbar returns to future times with his first release there since it began with his >outrageous soulz< 45. >max trax for world peace< takes the house sound maxmillion hinted at on his 2010 >cool water< lp (for uks ramp recordings) into sublime territory. tip! in the hyper-percussive, shape-shifting opener >polo,< max mixes italian house, angelic choirs and a bouncing bassline, while >ballroom< sees a synthetic waltz become ambient disco as 707 claps echo from the corners. >piano & dream world< engulfs the entire b-side with a blissful, heart-wrenching workout indebted to those head-down, eyes closed house tunes of the past, adding what sounds like a smudged digital orchestra to a roller of a track that marches on (>and on<) forever

tevo howard recordings is the follow up to beautiful granville records. >the drum machine man<, came to mind from going through international security with drum machines in duffel bags. we hope that you will enjoy this new direction and selection, as the motto for this label is to be: >lets move a timeless wave in spirit and music<

taken from the brit funk cd we have some mighty fine edits from faze action / onur engin / ashley beedle & boy norty aka dave lee.
