j gorton is a seattle based producer and dj who has drawn on his vast knowledge of discos dark underbelly to put together these outstanding edits of lesser known, but no less wonderful cuts from the heyday. his informative and well respected american athlete blog has become an addictive and invaluable resource for all eager disciples of the good groove, shining a light on the often forgotten tracks which fell between the cracks of the mirrorball. cabana disco vol. 01, is the first in a series of ridiculously limted (200 copies) 12s. the series starts off with mr. les stache reworking three amazing rarities which include gepy & gepys 1979 disco classic african love song, alongside this sits an obscure cut from kurt hauensteins (of supermax) late 70s disco group bamboo, as well as the 1979 mid-tempo cosmic disco classic livin in the jungle by john tropea. this is an absolute essential for any disco enthusiast.

good-looking tank-shirt by infine rec.

mysterious and most of all vinyl only whitelabels seem to be the call of the day. if they are as good as this one here i have no doubt - this trend will stay our fried. open produced bassy and sweat boxing, slamming chicago - detroit- chicago style house with great piano chord and slight pitched atmosphere. somehow between early chez n ron and roy davis , dj pierre, kerri, mood2 swing, nu groove, kot. now ive almost named them all. oops… . sinister but oh so sexy!

sexplosion, the new ep from lenfant terrible of sophisticated techno, seth troxler-here recording under his debauched alter ego sex trothler-is a complex, multifaceted, and yet decidedly horny affair. these are the sounds of doing unspeakable and anonymous things to girls in dark backrooms and being too confident to regret it the next day…the sounds of your favorite sexual memory transformed by your overactive fantasy life into scenes of utter perversion. the first track, jusyour, combines troxlers signature use of the classic, organic sounds of detroit house and techno with an avant-garde, fragmented, almost mournful sensibility. its a contemporary jack track as appropriate for a dark, seedy club as it is for an afterparty orgy on your friends broken futon. its almost as if music could yearn and sweat and think all at once. its followed by a brief vocal internude to remind you that being a good lover always means having enough of a sense of humor to laugh at other people laughing at yourself. think tinkertoys meets the wu-tang clans black shampoo. humor aside, the final track, face, utilizes airy percussion and deep, almost cinematic chords (reminiscent of troxlers remix for another precious youth, nicolaas jar on new yorks wolf+lamb label). its masterful and restrained use of processed vocals manages to leave behind so much of the pointless darkness that has plagued techno, whether minimal or otherwise. it builds slowly yet aggressively, like a hard, focused grind with someone you cant actually even really stand. this is music for people whose time at art school was spent getting naked and not hating themselves for it.

hip shaking funky and disco infected house tracks with nice filtered parts for good messure!!

surkin and bobmo are high powered boys. what do you get when you pair up two of the most hotly tipped young dance producers in the game? straight up ghetto house, with a healthy disregard for good taste and lofty ideals. its here and now music, fast and furious tracks!!

like many of us over here at bear towers, giorgio sancristoforo aka tobor disco experience has an unhealthy interest in the 1970s - the instruments of bob moog, vocoders, alan parsons - the cult sci fi series space 1999 - and here hes used the decade as a sonic palette to create the kind of ep that gets the whole office (ie: both of us, on pcs at home, occasionally) sitting up and listening. opener disco moog has already been used on our rools for rules compilation earlier this year and had many beards twitching at the prospect of forthcoming vinyl. shooting star is a more uptempo affair with blissful chords, slap bass, disco handclaps and gios trademark vocoder. i feel loved is a personal favourite of stevie kotey with anthem written all over it. this awesome clavinet workout has such a good vibe about it you cant help feeling nothing but loved. it could easy be mistaken for alan hawkshaw super rare bruton library track.

the mysterious glamour boy cloaks up again for this modern progressive rework of leftfields finest hour, giving it an elegant and epic slant. dream and jimi polo are also mashed up 2008 stylee, good package

itamar sagi from the be as one label really made a name for himself with his black gold track that was released earlier this year. inspired by the warmer and more emotional side of detroit techno he very much captured something real and true in that song which certaintly paid off in the end. here he has done something a bit different. not less good though. actually better. this is a record for those moments when you need to increase the pace but still wants to keep the soul. perfect!

for those who thought these remixes would never see the light of day, here they are and let me tell you something : they re hot !! the a-side features swag s hot gloves remixed by bakazou (aka pete herbert). pete s on fire right now and he came up with an awesome italo-disco monster. it s like an apollo space ship: it gets higher and higher and when the original bassline is finally released people go crazy. tried and tested on discerning crowds – success is guaranteed! already licensed to ralph lawson s next fabric mixed cd ! the b-side is equally good, albeit in a different way . swag s hot shoe shuffle dub sounds like those fantastic hypnotic disco dub mixes straight outta 80s nyc. so put on your dancing shoes and get down to the boogie sound

jason phats teams up with mr vanessa feltz, who you will remember provided vocals on the hugely successful gotta turn around.. this is in a similar vein and comes with a good set of mixes, including a tasty mix from out of office and a bouncy garage rub on the flip.

with a riff thats too good to die, nitro deluxe finds its way back on todays dancefloor, via a rather brilliant re spray from julian neopolitana. with chicane also getting more of the same and of course, ruff loaded vol 1 still doing the business everywhere, expect volume 2 to do even greater damage file under large!

some of the biggest names around on 1 tasty slab of vinyl from brightons finest born 2 dance with the likes of atfc flying high with jus a beat on defected this cant fail too appeal

inflicted welcomes another hot newomer on the label, jan fleck! turn red is sven wittekind most fav. track at the moment! this track comes with a real heavy beat and some church bells before the breakdown is rolling over the floor with his sweepy piano melody, which is changing into a nasty synth after some seconds. when the beat is coming in again, there is no holding back for everyone! >i don t care< is a freaky fresh hardtechno track, with a good arrangement and nice vocalcuts! the breakdown in this track is pushin the dancefloor to the peaktime limit! >my descent< a nice compressed loop combined with a heavy baseline synth. making his way in the minds of the bassline lovin technoheads! >epic< is another huge track on this release! a great hardtechno loop makes his way to one of the best breaks ever. sweepy stabs bring you an evil baseline combined with a amazing dnb/breakbeat loop before the well done hardtechnoloop strikes back!

a fresh addition to the moodmusic roster but a longtime veteran in the house-scene, alexander maier aka dj all*star from stuttgart is well known from his earlier releases on buzzin fly, exun and criminal records. he began his career playing underground techno in south of germany but over the years became more and more influenced by detroit and chicago house. you can hear these influences on sahara in both the rain and river version. deep and reduced grooves with enough soul and atmosphere, yet fully functional for the floor, sahara rain kicks in with a heavy bass sequence building a perfect platform to be followed by the synththeme which hit s the peak hour perfectly. i see some hands going up here already… sahara river starts more housey, building a classy, low-slung huge groove with perculating synths and almost tribal feel to the drums. the modulating synths lifts the track to new heights with a break of superbly layered twisted pads before the drums kick back in in full effect. as this would not be enough we asked our thrusted chicago connection and alexs buddy, mazi aka audio soul project to remix sahara rain. if you consider people who s been in the biz for some time mazi is one of the warriors of the sound, never choosing the easy way but thrustfully following his true way of house music. and house it is, classic but cleverly updated to 2008 with a twist of so-cal thrown in for good measure. bouncey and jacking is the words which comes into mind when hearing this, excellent work and a another bomb for the hot months to come

mysterious artists are always a good topic for discussions. deixis is such a mysterious person, prefering to stay unknown. but it is his music that speaks to us and the message is clear and direct. already introduced to the label rooster with his track called, states of flux, for aw-010, the viewpoints compilation, we are happy to have him on board with his first full 12, release. running his own label abstract forms he stands for deepest dub infected detroit techno. some might say this is oldschool, and maybe they are right, but we dont care. its beautiful deep melodic techno as we love it! featuring a remix of the track, the hour of the soul, by label owner arne weinberg

dj support by adultnapper & matthias kaden !! after his last release on hello?repeat, cabanne is back to make the room and refill the minibar. one year of sailing from bar to bar helped him to distill new unexpected liquors. jesse garonne is an absinthe mix, while f.key would be some good old rhum… the flavor is stupendous and unusual at first but effect is guaranteed, hot dose of deep groove >à ma facon< that brings a crazy, jazzy hot spirit which lifts of the tunes to the insane! it includes a great rmx from john thomas and his wife barbara. a great opportunity, after releasing >funky time< on the milkshake compilation, to bring minibarians a new dose of strong funkster. the hatched sounds and voice brings perfectly the groove…

played by: from disco to jazz and funk, italians have acquired a solid reputation in the making of dance music along the years. those last months seing them firmly back on the blocks, some 20 years after the worldwide domination of the so called spaghetti house!!! what is it then to expect on this 3 tracker? lectrodeep post-disco such as delivered by marcoradi on firefly? abstract phonky house on the shot by upcoming producer mr mama?? synth led deep n sharp tech influenced vibes on the fascinating hidden diva by the likes of tresca aka pastaboys??? who cares as long as its good. and it definitely is...

arctic monkeys were already massive way before they inked a deal with domino in june 2005. people obsessing over the songs? sold out gigs full of stage diving nutcases. hardcore fans pressed up against venue windows, just hoping to catch a glimpse such checkpoints have all been ticked. the boys may share a love of the smiths, the clash and the jam, but in no way were the monkeys ready to simply regurgitate the well trodden brit rock path.
