for a long time, vidal benjamin has been getting up early at the weekends. whether alone or in company, he digs his hands into various crates at record fairs, flea markets or in empty attics, to uncover records that have long been forgotten, ignored or even despised. among the small circle of parisian diggers, his reputation precedes him: it is he who finds and it is he who shares. it is not unusual that in his wake, one finds a certain record long lost, left behind as a special gift from vidal. he likes to share so that others may discover. and it is for that same reason that he regularly sleeps late, playing records in clubs at night, where he follows a similar path: altruistic, educational and festive. it�s no surprise, then, that his first compilation goes by the fitting title of disco sympathie.

all-day and all-night cultural entertainment center and athenian place-to-be, six d.o.g.s, has launched its brand new label, six d.o.g.s records. its first release under the gilda series, which will be focusing on contemporary, club-oriented electronic music, is lemos *kay&#305,,,,kç&#305,,,,*. lemos, the wonder-boy of greek underground dance scene, delivers the goods with a cover of *kaykci*, a greek (with turkish-like aroma) folk song, originally written in 1948. the song is a staple of traditional greek music, having been covered by numerous artists through the years. lemos nine minute long take features the beautiful vocals of folk-jazz singer, natasha mindrinou. in typical lemos style, the track is a dubby techno - house trip to the stars, retaining the core of the original song, basic melodies and lyrics. this leads-up to a deep, hypnotic but epic, huge cut that will surely move after hours dancefloors all-over. a remix by kreon, the greek maitre of contemporary minimal techno. he takes the original parts of kay&#305,,,,kç&#305,,,, under a low key bass carpet that extends to 12 minutes. stripped down, with emphasis on crystal clear rhythmics and in full swing, the track takes a whole new meaning. smartly placed vocals that fit in the after-hours aura and a hands-up moment towards the end, kreon brings the heat akin to the sound of ricardo villalobos and rpr.

music is strongly linked to memory, sometimes just a simple note will trigger a deep feeling of nostalgia or emotion. the new homesick series was created by music enthusiasts living half a world away from their birthplaces. their concept is to play on memory, to re-edit and rework songs from the past into something which is timeless, tracks which feel fresh but remain true to the original.

massive two tracker from jonny miller on his 2nd edits release on kat.what you did is quite simply a whopper! disco music as god intended it - arms aloft, eyes shut, inhibitions nowhere to be seen, smiles bigger than life itself. what we have here is not an edit as such but a reworking of chaka khans what you did, subtly housed up, re-arranged, chopped, fil-tered and re-mastered within an inch of its life - chaka herself pretty much always sounds in-credible but here the vocal just seems to stand even taller than usual. on the other side we have something in which some of our slightly older party folk may well recognise. dionnes house classic from 88 gets the full edit treatment and the timing on this just seems so right. originally released on the ace bigshot label out of canada (and was just huge in the hacienda), re-mastered, stretched out, re-arranged and making the most out of all those old school stabs, ploddy bass lines and timeless vocals.

clr is back with release number 83 and has something very special in store this time. monolocs latest effort offers a challenging mixture of various electronic music genres. apart from the original version and the monoloc edit, which occupy the a side of the vinyl, two highly respected producers have contributed remixes to this project, making it an impressive assembly of potential a sides.

as the autumnal nights draw in, futureboogie show off a slightly darker edge to their ever expanding roster of artists, welcoming re-edit king mark e to the fold. the birmingham based dj and producer has risen steadily through the musical ranks over the last few years, cropping up on a multitude of top drawer labels like sonar kollectiv, running back, golf channel, his own merc imprint, and most recently a brace of albums for the us label spectral sound (home to matthew dear, osborne et al). title track, *activity* chugs at a house music pace but with plenty of techno swagger, bridging the gap between the two genres with ease. a simple and minimal beat is doused in a pacey acid bassline riff that is constantly morphing and transposing, layers of synths join in the infectious melody whilst soaring pads rise up with all the familiarity of a detroit techno classic.

extra extra special revamped combination of the suf classics 01 and 02.

after taking a short break house of disco records are back with a purpose. not content with the adding to the plethora of disco edit labels representing the genre they have opted to walk a more distinct path, determined to lean on originals or clever sampling as opposed to outright re-rubs. in this their twelfth release they recruit previous label-mate harry wolfman and compadre skinny love to provide three stunning dancefloor ready originals. the duo have certainly delivered on the brief and turned in three diverse and clever takes on what a modern disco track with a house soul can represent. on remix duties they have recruited a promising young producer kickflip mike, who has released on box aus holz as joschka seibt and paired him with experienced disco merchant the revenge who is responsible for some of the best remixes we know of, and he doesnt disappoint here with either remix.
