following last years acclaimed curse of soft rocks album, we are invited to revisit said masterpiece from an alternative entry — a robust compilation of remixes. every track is re-contextualized so wildly that we are left with a beautifully oblique yet complimentary rendering. the personnel employed vary in style and technique drastically, but such is the ethos of soft rocks, and furthermore the esp institute. at the end of the day, we implore you to shut up and listen. on this 12 inch (the first of 4 surrounding the revenge of soft rocks remix album) we are treated with a serious disco belted version of talking jungle as reworked by justin vandervolgen (tbd, gold channel, dfa, etc, etc) and an insanely serene take on obo by esp favorite tiago (sea power & change, gala drop, dfa, etc, etc)... good lord this is quite a piece of wax

brilliant 80s disco / soul classic

fünftes album des aus irland stammenden house- und techno-produzenten john daly, der bereits auf labels wie plak records, irr, mule musiq oder wave music veröffentlicht hat. die musik des iren ist gleichermaßen mit techno, house, disco, electronica und dub verbunden. charakteristisch für die tracks von john daly sind warme, ungeheuer organische sounds, die er zu einem guten teil mit hardware-synthesizern einspielt. >sunburst< erscheint als aufwändig gestaltete gatefold-doppel-lp mit beiligender cd

der 24-jährige kwes hat bereits jede menge erfahrungen im musikbiz gesammelt. so produzierte er die kritikerlieblinge speech debelle und dels, arbeitete mit micachu, ghostpoet und the xx zusammen, sowie mit damon albarn an dessen projekt drc music, dank dessen er in berührung mit warp kam. diese zeigten sich von kwes talent begeistert und boten ihm direkt einen eigenen künstlervertrag an. meantime ist kwes erste ep mit dem maintrack bashful, einem elektronischen disco-shuffle mit akribischer melodieführung und sprengseln aus soul, r&b und house, die seine idee von free pop perfekt demonstriert: populärmusik, die keine grenzen kennt, der exzentrik nicht ausweicht, ideenreichtum jeglicher vergangener regel vorzieht, bzw. einfach verspricht, dass wir von diesem jungen mann noch sehr viel aufregendes und neues hören werden!

the debut release of berlins imprint kwattro kanali kicks off with two heavyweight disco-dynamite tracks. first up is a funky discofied groover based around an epic filtered bassline which will cause a floor-filling effect. on the flip side liebig & enviro deliver an 80s influenced groovetool with brilliant synth and a stunning vocal sample to fall in love with. this quality release is not to be missed, decks tip

>night and day< is the first single from hot chips forthcoming album, in our heads.
the single is a piece of classic hot chip weird-ass superfunk disco, driven by a menacing yet supremely danceable rubberized bassline. its the sound prince would be making had he grown up just south of the thames.
it is zapp not zappa.

back from 1982 , brilliant 80s disco

punto de partida is a disco latin track, barkin soul and paprika have worked on back in 2007 and has finally made it on vinyl as the title of barkin soul single. recorded in a queenslander weather board house in mullumbimby it captures the passion for latin music that both developed through the years. on the b side, barkin soul reveals a down tempo bossa nova influenced track featuring morgane in french.

two more live jams mixed canned and pressed. wbeeza has been hassled wherever he goes to release these. first limited pressing comes in silver glitter disco bag.

dont be afraid present spargel trax, a two part series of vinyl-only, coloured, hand-stamped 12 inches designed to celebrate the dual themes of great seasonal music and great seasonal spargel. contributing tracks across the two 12 inchess are some of our favourite artists currently making house music. from established artists like disco nihilist, andy blake, sound species and james duncan to up and coming artists like david joseph from cologne, hodge from bristol, untitled-w from st. petersburg, for whom this is the first outing on wax, and scott fraser from glasgow. no clues though as to which is which, you?ll have to just listen to the tracks and hear for yourself! proof that 2012 is a great time for music, a great time for wax and a great time for spargel. spargel is very popular in the netherlands, spain, france, belgium, germany, and switzerland, and almost exclusively white. else, it is specified by the local language term for green asparagus. compared to the latter, the locally cultivated so-called white gold or edible ivory, also referred to as the royal vegetable, is less bitter and much more tender. freshness is highly regarded, and it must be peeled before cooking or raw consumption.

we are happy to report, after a short hiatus ray mang and his incomparable mangled label are back! his recent disco deviance release was more than enough to remind everyone what they d been missing, but here we have a fresh new mangled release - filled to brim with rays unique take on lost classics.
mangled has been a benchmark for quality edits since the late 90s, and with renewed interest in dance musics heritage, ray has found himself back at the forefront of a scene he was instrumental in forming. having been behind a plethora of releases on cult nu-disco labels like noid, fiasco, u star, nuphonic, eskimo etc etc over the years he has cemented his reputation as an amazing producer in his own right as well a studio engineer extraordinaire for the likes of the idjut boys, glimmers & many more.

vessel returns to left_blank with 3 tracks of mind bending house & techno for the labels 5th release. after inaugurating the label almost a year ago with his critically acclaimed nylon sunset ep, vessel aka sebastian gainsborough went on to release a sold out split cassette with fellow left_blanker el kid, and a stunning digital only set for a future without. as a result of this the all conquering tri angle records snapped him up in early 2012 to release his debut album. this eps title track standard spans the length of the a-side: 5 minutes of low-slung, smacked out death disco, coming over like john carpenter meets newworldaquarium, pure valium vibes. merge on the b-side is positively sprightly in comparison, all rattling and metallic before a drop at the halfway point brings a welcome dose of detroit influenced machine funk. zero closes the ep in abstraction, whirring and stumbling along while showcasing sebs intricate sound design, a teasing glimpse at what is in store for his album later in the year.

nitetime is the new production duo from boston, usa comprised of kon (from kon & amir) and whisky baron and was actually first send to us by fellow bostonians soul clap. nitetimes debut ep. jive talk sits on a bridge between og boom bap hip hop - with its tough drums and grooved up interludes - and the 4/4 rhythms of classic house and disco. it also comes packed with a little more history than meets the eye…,.the ep has only just been pressed to wax and its already picking up love from gilles peterson, jacques renault, eli escobar, soul clap, recloose, karizma, lefto from belgium and lovemonk in madrid. dont let this record slip through those dusty fingers of yours.

all nite ep is the young mancunian waltons second set on hyperdub, after his very well received walton ep debut for the label in 2011. title cut >all nite< kicks it off with warm plucked strings, diva moans and lazer-like synths stretched to the point of anticipation over cracking grime handclaps and bass drums, until the track drops into a blocky bass line playing hide and seek with low arpeggios that spiral in and out of the mix, over a giant pounding metallic kick drum before layering on the warmth again. the whole track plays with a fine balance between warm, disco-like lushness and exuberant roughness. >mallet< is driving and darker, building detuned, bell-like tones over a 4/4 beat accented by breaks and fills and gaps, dropping into a big bass line and syncopations that disrupt the beat and bring the drama. >kush< is different again, taking the pace down with low end, synth hip hop with glassy chords, running over woozy pitch shifting rhodes chords fed through a layer of crackly gauze.

join the dots reaches its dirty dozen in the form of leeds based noiseniks death on the balcony. after a year of rather big releases, hanging out with wolf & lamb, soul clap and other assorted cool cats and playing a hectic schedule of gigs across the world that literally saw fans throwing themselves (from a ruddy great height apparently) at our boys they now contribute dot012 to the jtds family. whilst being described as everything from disco, house, deep techno and any number of other pointless monikers (these are just their own descriptions we should add), death on the balcony have you could say come home to roost. think of us as their crash mat, their safety harness, their bungee cord. we are going to look after them whilst they just sit back and admire the view.

london-based producer/dj (kojak, ism) opens with an 8 min soulful number perfect for getting loft parties goin. b1 has disco funk vocals with serious basslines & dirty percussion, b2 modern dancefloor take on jazz-funk, with mesmerizing funky bassline.

a well deserved re-issue of an 1982 italo-disco gem by joe coleman.

the dream of another way, red light on her skin, smoke and sensuality in the air, broken promises and a mans embrace. born out of east london’s underground party, love fever records seeks to encapsulate the intensity of a+as late nights and early mornings. over 3 years of pioneering and party providing has seen love fever grow from a word of mouth disco in a dalston loft, to the party for the musically aware, and adult orientated mincers of london and beyond. warehouses, strip clubs, art gallerys and photographic studios have been transformed with many of the true disc jockeys in electronic music joining alex & andy to push the boundaries. a sound has emerged, cross genre, with a heavy leaning on sleaze, elitist house and romantic techno to create a pornographic energy.

jeremy greenspan, best known as the singer for junior boys, presents his debut solo productions on caribou/daphnis jialong label. apparently the first of a few 12 inches for greenspan this year, this 1st edition is a stripped-down disco dedication. a-sides >crown princess< works with a paucity of elements - hi-hat/kick pattern and trickling, silvery arpeggios with a clear streak of jbs melodic magic. flipsides >guu< is more experimental, sounding something like a berghain residents offbeat b-side reduced for more hypnotic indie/disco appeal. another good twelve from this limited imprint - get in while you can.

after a short hiatus diamonds and pearls is back with another stunning release by the mysterious eat. >rapture< takes you on a twisted disco journey which slowly but surely turns into a grinding acidic trip. on the b-side he heads for headier tropes, dismissing the 4×4 template for a mesmerizing and moody percussive workout somewhere between monolake and shackleton & pinchs collaboration with the first cut >sand<, before he unleashes the brooding >flux< which sports a nasty modulated squelching bassline and the same off-kilter dubstep-feel. dnp and eat are definitely back – with a bang!

next great step on celeste records. the 2nd vinyl ep by andlee & jason philips! incl. oscar remix!

marcos cabral and jacques renaults latest on the prowl 12 inch features the return of andy ash, the man who dropped >another world< with them last year (otp007) as well as a grab of edits on otp party breaks way back in 2010. as is to be expected with the talented, young producer, the ep is all groovy, bouncy, high-octane house with a hardy injection of disco glitz.

rubini’s new production is dedicated to the legendary group-b rally era (1982-1986), universally considered as the most spectacular moment of the motoring sports history. rubini succesfully transfers those dramatic and thrilling scenario in a disco/tech language. le cahier de occelli is an intimate ambient journey, drawing the mystic landscapes of those dirty roads. easyleft henri is dedicated to the amazing pilot henri toivonen, whom incredible skills inspired this energetic disco/house drive, with steering bass-line and a whirling vintage synths. dancefloor missiles, roar!

generic modification in effect here on this 3 tracker from seasoned producer and remixer travelling incognito, hush-hush and strictly on the q.t. . straight out of east london, pacific rim dubs mix up deep, bumpin house with soul and boogie, rude acid with funk and fidget grooves with pure disco. in a mash-up style, but without the comedy beats and not a whiff of irony in sight, pacific rim dubs vol1 takes a selection of infectious snippets from the soul/ boogie vaults and blends them into proper house floor fillers

the disco, soul and boogie selection - 8x full length retro classics. vinyl pack 1 of 2 of extended mixes from: >bobby & steve - the anniversary collection 1984 - 2004: past, present, future< cd mixes.

it is that time of the year again for a catch up on all that has been going on at nang towers. for the third instalment of our array series we are chuffed to present a few recent hits, a few future hits and some great tunes we just had to include. the sampler 12 inch takes the more vinyl friendly bits and crams them all onto one cool vinyl.

edits may be dead, but just when your elitist attitude comes to a head and you think you re on top of your game, there will always be someone deeper, faster and still motivated enough to rekindle your digging desires. where blackdisco volume 10 saw the return of lovefingers and nitedog, volume xi pushes forward into new territory (and with a new aesthetic) by welcoming a group of three deep diggers who shun musical trends and their inherent fakers. dea, albion & spacelex combine their vinyl-mining efforts to unearth some real diamonds from the rough. deas cut malaka is a floater with a funky sailboat vibe, while his complimentary cut taubat takes the tired jungle disco vibe to new level with its triumphant synth-led chorus, an absolute stunner that could be extended for 20 minutes. on the flip, albion spoons water over the coals, steaming up the joint with an uptempo percussion bomb as if santana had a disco secret, and spacelex rides us out with a sexy rock groove complete with mysterious male voiceover, almost as if someone lowered the volume to whisper in your ear.

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.

kaiserdisco are more often in the air than on the ground so we are lucky to gets this one from them in time! two brand new tracks out of the kaiser küche. >semiramis< has the bongos bouncing high and vocals racing in… this is a polyrhythmic and true irresistible: kaiser-tune! the kaisers once again take you by the hand and lead you to a land of tropic dance fever and continue their exploration of funky beat constructions that will put fire to every dance floor in town.
with >menon<, kaiserdisco go a different way … they combine disco claps and 60ies organ sound… writing one of these euphoria ballads that somehow keep their understatement while on the other side they keep on growing and growing… to an enormous size… we could swear this sounds like one of these classics you keep in your head all your life..., humming them to yourself... never knowing what they actually are. maybe you know?

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.

tom noble with a reprise 12inch of his great dancing hard track taken from the liger vision debut ep. mr. noble is recognized as one of the worlds top diggers when it comes to disco and rare funk. he got some help from his british equivalent mr al kent from million dollar disco fame, who got some help from his buddies ray harris on keys and kev mcshane on guitar to craft this awesome remix, or actual new recorded version of dancing hard! this is a limited edition remix twelve inch that comes in an edition of 500 copies! pre-orders are essential.
