marius vareid revisists the title track of last years debut album in two version here and other than the connotation that telemark evokes, its perfect summer bizniss in the 12inch edit version thanks to its bobbing flanger chords, the unhurriedly striding bass melody and the carefree clattering percussion. the klubb version sticks to its promise, keeps the trademark chords but they sound way more athletic in its sparser environment of beefed up drums and frantic percussion. powered by a slightly moody feeling bassline and its buoyant, exuberant synth melodies the brand new il tempo gigante on the flip is a prime example of the scintillating, heady mixture of disco roots, house and dub antics. as an extra bonus prins thomas adds a tropical-sticky interpretation of villa farris (originall version on fp024)

vol.8 with more pure disco madness

anhura vinyls debut in the exclusive and acclaimed vinyl edition is, as it was expected, a complete success. max chapman & aj christou are in charge of gruds & kecks. this release starts with a moderate disco house nearly background melody at some points, and evolves into more tech grounds which plunge us directly in a deep, retro-spatial sphere. a place where this electronic and bass sounds coming from the 80s and 90s provide it with amazing timelessness whenever it is heard. it is an uncommon release diverging from the mainstream and ideal to start a completely promising series.

the 1st of two stunning 12 inches from this chicago house producer features cuts from his legacy of the know cd as well as a couple of unreleased remixes. you get the original versions of funky disco fusion and 7th trumpet from his cd plus the brand new unreleased jose carretas remix of you are love and the cvo slum mix of i am not in love.

remastered reissue of this self-titled 1982 disco-album by plush.

smith & mudd are back in fine style on claremont 56, following up their excellent lp with this great double header! >sauna love< is the lead track, an uptempo, string laden boogie house affair with great vibes, bass, strings and punchy percussion all rolling along into the sunshine. on side-b >the surveyor< is a great piece of otherworldly electronic music, coming on like some weird cough medicine induced dream. the bass pulses along with mystery dialogue, light key flourishes and an intent that is delivered about 5 minutes in when the kick drops and the whole thing shifts into a latenight, alt disco bomb.

with eddie cs previous creation for lets get lost barely out of the barrel of the the labels finely engineered hand cannon we are bombarded with two more selections from the canadian turned berliners seemingly limitless arsenal of secret weapons. masterful re-arrangement as ever ever from the now seasoned producer. side a yields wonderfully quirky balearic vibes while on the flip a horn and string led disco barn stormer reminiscent of a rub-n-tug unknown gem provides what is, for us at least, the highlight of the ep. two very different tracks and a great package all round.

holding no limits hot creations are back with their next release, digitaria & funky fats masochist ep – a funky fusion of all things electronic, from deep house and disco to indie-pop and electro.

full pupp helps another new outfit into the saddle. even though esteemed norwegian dj ole martin vilberg aka omar v and robin craaford, one half of dance disorder with baby g (bpitch, eskimo) are hardly young guns, they gang up together for the first time on complete: a blinding cut that harks back to the time with good ol jack was still the young buck and closely associated with uncle electro funk: tough beats, hyperactive claps, a jittering bass and a catchy, squeaking melody are still rattling bones if masterfully pieced together as it is done here. the guy most closely related to the italo sound out of the whole norwegian disco bunch chucks the more intricate original rhythm but goes hypertechnicolor and widescreen on the synth parts boosting up the originals melody, throwing in a nod to happy station and a hi-energy bassline.

arms & legs welcomes kristin velvet. excellent deep & modern disco with a touch of house.

coming up on claap we welcome a new name on the label.bodj is an upcoming producer from athens (gr).a fresh face in the scene, bodj has already had a couple of releases under his belt and caused some serious heat with his blisters ep back in 2010!every day is an easy and very classy house cut. quite emotive with flowing rhythm patterns,it is an ode to every day lovin!on the remix duties,these days afficionado and man of the moment argy takes the track into a sweatier territory with his nyc dub mix.while, the love mix explores a more romantic side of the original track.label head gummihz rounds up the package with a bubbly night fever mix.a filtered disco house take,reminiscent of french house in the late 90s.top tip!

brill smoothin / soulful deep / disco house

a new label from some of the decision makers at juno arrives in the shape of love interest, promising a release schedule that eschews genres in favour of seeking out international talent that piques their fancy. minneapolis-based nyteowl is at the helm for the first release with >love of mine<. this clear vinyl twelve inch edition sports two fine remixes from boy 8 bit and mighty mouse, which naturally take the 80s swagger of the original in differing directions. boy 8 bit calls on all his studio trickery with a remix that constantly shifts sonically before dropping into an excellent final detuned synth passage, whilst nu-disco troupe mighty mouse are on soaring form, adding some meat to that beat, whilst nyteowls vocal hitches a ride on an upwards arpeggio.

bonar bradberry is a name you wont forget in a hurry. one of the new breed who marry the snappy energy of house with the weight of disco beats, his productions have recently piqued the interest of andrew weatherall among others.

another debut on basic fingers, this time we head over to japan and the mysterious kgo production team. the first edit is >six millions steps< by rahni harris, a well known soul drenched disco classic that has been slightly pitched down and infused with more boogie loveliness.
>something special< by donald byrd and the blackbyrds is both a pianists workout and a lovely jazz-disco track full of melodic character. kgos edit owes respect to the original and is a perennial favourite in the basic fingers camp.

brilliant 80s disco anthem...

die erste single des neuen studioalbums >in our heads< von hot chip . irgendwo zwischen flirrenden beats und einer unerbittlichen und süchtig machenden basslinie intoniert eine verzerrte stimme: >i like zapp not zappa<. dieses aushängeschild des neuen albums ist ein dynamischer dance track, ein euphorischer ohrwurm, oder wie die band sagt weird-ass superfunk disco und zementiert einmal wieder hot chips position als talentierteste elektro-romantiker 2012. neben der albumversion und einem remix von 2 bears (featuring trim) findet sich auch ein neuer track auf der b-seite, der nicht auf dem album enthalten ist. tipp!

limited reissue of a very rare and highly in-demand 1986 12 inch from indian ocean, alias of late great disco legend and sleeping bag founder arthur russell. although russells original version on side a is fantastic in itself, the stunning abstract walter gibbons mix on side b is where its all at. with irrepressible madcap gibbons at the helm, the track mutates into a strangely subversive dancefloor odyssey way ahead of its time which still sounds futuristic today. with a raw sparse experimental sound, this progressive sonic journey rolls along for over 10 minutes pulsating with a jazz-influenced interplay of funk-heavy bongos, stabbing synths, off-the-wall vocals and russells trademark cello. one of the great moments to come out of the vibrant art/disco not disco crossover scene of 80s new york - dont miss your chance to bag a vinyl copy of this obscure gem.

limited edition vinyl reissue of the deeply balearic and impossible-to-find extended version of the magnificent tranquillo (melt my heart) from the one and only carly simon. produced by the acclaimed arif mardin, who also worked with such luminaries as aretha franklin, esther philips and donny hathway, this 1978 classic rides soulful disco-tinged waves of blissful strings, heady horns and cosmic guitars with a rich orchestral feel - no wonder this is a such a firm favourite on the balearic scene with djs in the know from harvey to phil mison. originally released on a promo-only 12 inch single with the same version on both sides, tranquillo is here backed by another essential sun-drenched gem from ms. simon - >you belong to me<. a jazzy, breezy summer groover laced with gentle piano, soothing vocals and some amazing saxophone from virtuoso david sanborn. welcome chance to grab an affordable copy of this highly desirable 12 inch.

when the house music phenomenon was beginning, chicago djs like ron hardy and new yorkers such as frankie knuckles and larry levan would edit records for their own purposes, removing the parts they felt to be superfluous, concentrating instead on extending grooves and hooks, often adding their own basic synth lines and toughening up the percussion with what have now become classic synthesizers and drum machines. warehouse classics vol.1 holds 4 killer tracks going from obscure disco to new wave, first popularised at the music box and rarely heard anywhere else. sir leon greg (another incarnation of perseus traxx) jams out then reinforces some edits of forgotten classics with a raw & personal analogue treatment for a devastating full effect on the dance floor, that is a far cry from the proliferation of over-produced squeaky-clean software edits. these are basic, raw ideas thrown down quickly and capturing the energy on 1/4 inch tape before moving on to the next set of sounds. musically, its as delightfully funky and uncomplicated as youd expect, a mesh of disco tracks and heavy, effect laden, machine-funk. essential item!!

the 5th release on >house mannequin< includes four rough and edge disco/house tracks. this release fits the dance-floor, open air situations as well as your headphones. recommended!

fresh new label project by venetian disco head bottin who needs no further introduction! after releases on eskimo, italians do it better, bear funk etc he has now decided to run his own business and press this new production on this psychedelic-looking piece of orange plastic. lust is definitely a hard throbbing and sweaty space disco house track with a hint of deranged prog madness. layers and layers of synths and bass lines build up in a long enthralling foreplay until heavy disco beats violently kick in, finally add spicy disco stabs and you have got yourself an incendiary tool sure to set things on fire. dont sleep on this one! crazy black plattered, orange glowing vinyl.

above machine is a record label run by steve lee (the project club). seconds is the alter ego of markus enochson and luciano leiva. together with singer linus lutthi they deliver >another day< which is a breezy, balearic affair with the solemn moodiness of nick drake. it is reminiscent of late end-of-summer days when time seems to stand still, but in the most bittersweet of ways. remixes are provided by lexx - who once again adds that subtle disco blend whilst drinking an estrella at the beach bar. the seahawks dive deep and provide an ambient masterpiece, which lures you deeper into their crazy world of delays, reverb and a studer a80 running backwards in a shoreditch broom cupboard.
