as one half of the revered duo zombi and with solo releases under is fake movie soundtrack composer alias gianni rossi(permanent vacation)or his real name(kompakt,l.i.e.s.)steve moore has an extensive record of worshiping wholeheartly and toying around with his musical obsessions: glam and prog rock, early spacey synth pop and their manifestations in tv themes and b-movie soundtracks, mainly of the italian kind.

sonic underground compiles remixes by the ccc family of up-and-coming indie artists – four floor-ready, mutant hybrids of rock, pop, disco and deep house. belgian firebrand mugwumps rework of cccs own acid snow transforms the acid/no-wave original into a disco-house monster thats earned accolades from the likes of ewan pearson and magda. ivan smagghe calls the remix a no-nonsense record. while some look for experimental arty-ness, some for the big hit, all of this pretending to be underground, mugwump pull out of their sleeves what is properly hard to achieve, a cool big track.in a similar way, the rest of sonic underground explores new combinations of arty edginess and mass appeal. mack winston & the reflections see their swaggering glam-rock transformed by ccc into a deep back-room sex jam thats getting support from the wolf + lamb crew and is featured on soul claps compilation cd for mixmag in february. the flipside highlights remixes by cccs own night plane: with its atmospheric guitar and emo vocals, his take on presssures sounds like if the cure ever showed up on crosstown rebels, and his re-design of fellow new yorker baby alpaca is a dreamy k-hole lullaby, with blissed-out melodies that make it an after-hours snuggle classic.

after years, this vinyl-wielding 4-piece originating from brighton — the one and only soft rocks — have finally committed their collective wit to a slew of original tunes. >we hunt buffalo now< is a punky dub monster serving as the first single in a series surrounding their = imminent debut album, >the curse of soft rocks<. in an age where any laptop-savvy poseur can upload their bland nu-disco or faux-chi-house directly to the cesspool of digitally downloadable fodder, it is more than refreshing to hear this cheeky bunch blending a mixed bag of instrumentation and obscure influences so recklessly. guest vocals are provided by san francisco post-punk hero jorge socarras (vocalist of indoor life and songwriter for patrick cowley). in case that wasnt enough, flip her over for the genius remix by andrew weatherall, a bonafide glam stomper that slaps you across the face with a fuzzy bassline and greaseball guitar chords. pure class.

tuccillo is a rare producer as he lives and works in ibiza all year round rather than flies in for the summer. the white island is without doubt the most overused and abused place on earth for dance music promotion, but beneath the glam superficial surface a real scene of native island talent is emerging. so when it came to making an ep for 2020vision we pushed the artist as far as we felt he could go, to explore new untried directions and show his diversity. tuccillo showed his true spirit and worked though a few knockbacks from our a/r team until we were happy we had the best ep possible at this moment

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!

the franz ferdinand classic is turned into a club banger with help from erol alkan. includes original on flip.

eagerly awaited vol 6 on richard sens mixed blood cuts series sees the baton handed over to melbourne based >pom< golden fleece. the first cut on this 2 tracker >dancin in the nude< sees t-rexs marc bolan fronting a futuristic glam band jam. plenty of (cow) bells, whistles, wonky synths, even the occasional kitchen sink thrown in for good measure! this jam has been tearing up dancefloors on both sides of the planet. on the flip >ciao bella< takes us on an epic dark journey with a full 11 minute long work out of bauhauss >bela lugosis dead< getting a modern fix up with a night stopover in detroit for good measure. golden fleece drops the bpm of the original and respectfully sprinkles over some of his own dub glitter purely for the benefit of the dancefloor! andrew weatherall has been championing this cut

released on the always reliable hit farm neon gold, which has given the world marina & the diamonds, ellie goulding, your twenties and penguin prison among others, starsmith is a super-hip young producer who has worked with ellie on her album, as well as remixing marina, passion pit, nerd and loads of others. its a scorching electro-tinged pop demon, glam without the cheese, and reminiscent of the kind of smashes that the french house lords of the mid 90s (like fred falke and alan braxe - more on him later...) were ruling dance music with. great sample from an old ritchie family (clip below...) disco stomper from the 80s which powers the whole thing with a undeniable hands-in-the-air vibe. a big autumn hit!

gui boratto keeps on giving with these three brand new tunes - a true statement of the tremendous talent he continues to bring to kompakt. he bumps up the bass adds a vocal chorus and teleports the original into a new stratosphere. telecaster is a dark and deep floor leveller. the glam is a rocket - elemental percussions play with a low end synth ride that rolls with a menacing delivery but certain to lay devastation on any dance floor.

crimea x is the coming together of two offbeat, disparate characters, dj rocca (ajello, super sonic lovers, maffia sound system) and jukka reverberi from 90s italian glam cult rockers, giardini di mir, who have often have been compared with the sound of mogwai, arab strap, godspeed you! black emperor. hailing from the far flung cosmos of reggio emilia, italys coolest post rock, cosmic disco outfit, crimea x launch a stellar ep of musical gems titled, phoros, get ready for pure, spaced out balearic bliss as the italo duo take you on a round trip journey to the electro cosmos and back. dj rocca and jukka were brought together by the common passion for cosmic imaginary soundscapes, where kraut rock fuses with the predilection for marxist thought and political stories of last century. the end product is a tantalising myriad of musical styles and tongue in cheek ethos, satirising the sociopolitical climate of our modern era.

glaswegian alex smoke aka mr. menzies, the man who helped kick start vakant in those blissfully uncorrupted early days, returns with a fresh no-frills attack since his last hanged man ep, va013, 1and half years ago. a sides whirrfless funky abrasiveness stomps heads in a way alter ego would if they were happier people and saw more sun. b1 fud paces along with sprightly spring in its step half cheeky, half roboadventure reminiscent of the early days of perlon. b2s onomatopoetic flingclunk zealously jacks for itself. it is all glory minus the glam and trans-fats. smoke, adding to the current relentless vakant onslaught, makes every reveler feel as limber as 14 year old russian gymnast

the royal we are six young dreamers who came together in early 2006, under inevitable glasgow rain to plot and do stuff and hang out in cafes as if in a godard movie. things still seemed to coincide and very quickly they had a bunch of pop songs, albeit an older, odder kind of pop reminiscent of the experimental pop of orange juice or esg or even the raincoats. the band signed to domino records imprint label geographic and are due to release their stunning debut self titled album soon. this is preceded by a special 7inch single, the fantastic all the rage. the track encapsulates their staggered swagger perfectly, glam on the cheap, sassy and fun the perfect pop moment.
