otherworldly caribbean electronic dance floor cuts! arousing prog-zouk and abstract futurism from the french west indies by synthesist claude rodap, released on vinyl for the first time. huge tip! in the early eighties, a time where french caribbean musicians were searching for their own sound, claude rodap mixed traditional gwo-ka, bel air, biguine with synthetic sounds, resulting in magical, adventurous outcome. recorded in the nineties and in 2000, the dreamy, sensuous three tracks on beletronic are the deliberate result of more than a decade of his experimentation.

unearthed sees blue hour explore tribal rooted sounds inspired by british techno of the late 90 s. the two tracks offer a darker outing, focusing on breakbeat sampling, textural processing and subtle repetition making these ideal rhythmic tools for peak time dance floor use. luke standing s second release of 2016 inspired by late 90 s british techno

limited lp & 7- pack from synth pop(?) giant, design a wave.... big sound on these cool electronic disco edged cuts.. hangman style design by cosmo knex - big tip! copenhagen based conceptual music act design a wave returns with ‘snakeface’, a document of surprise within the composition process. specifically, design a wave uses the computer to create several beats and then utilises the mutated results as building blocks for several new compositions. interest in computer-synthetic snakes, beyond all networks of communication and agency art, centres on placing these formless serpents into existing genres, such as music. snakeface is a timely exploration of the infectious qualities of music, and how it too, as a carrier, makes it’s way through neural networks, irreducible to bits and designed to infiltrate and replicate.

discodromos ever-essential cocktail d amore label launches into action once more with the ear candy of komodo in tow. magic hour manages to work classic piano house tropes into a suitably cosmic headspace that s loaded with reverb and all things trippy, but its relatively grounded compared to the exotic meditation that the backwoods manage to conjure up on their oriental dub of the track. lizard dance channels early trance vibes to great effect in a celebration of early 90s rave mysticism and then sand dunes offers up a bubbling, friendly twist on acid house. using familiar tropes but still maintaining originality, from start to finish this is a classically rooted record with something to say.

absolutely classic double header of brand new mixes from the mighty mike maurro! a detroit classic goes head to head with another solid gold philly classic on this 12- of exclusive mixes lifted from his -peak hour remixes- project, all produced from the original master tapes. the spinners evergreen soul classic -i ll be around- takes up the a-side with mike s trademark respectful flourishes evident - a restrained, classy version of this all-time anthem is what we re treated to by someone who truly understands the originals and feels the music. a must have for all serious soul lovers out there. on the b-side we have the trammps stellar -the night the lights went out-, a long time favourite that has been extensively sampled by numerous house artists and the trammps paean to the infamous city wide blackout during the summer of 77 in nyc that ended up subsequently reshaping popular culture as we know it. maurro s mix, as always, has respectfully rearranged the track in such a way that he s managed to put a new spin on a legendary disco classic focussing on the incredible arrangements of norman harris original. simply put, another set of essential mixes from a modern day master! file under - *essential disco*

massive mix alert! -it s party time tonight!- - nyc mix maestro mike maurro has turned in a storming, 14+ minute version of patrick adams classic -weekend- by phreek, a true blue club classic from 1978 (later covered by class action, sampled by todd terry etc) -weekend- was an absolutely huge paradise garage staple getting unlimited spins from larry levan during the club s lifespan, the definition of a -garage- record indeed. maurro s new mix rearranges and deconstructs the original version with so much style, respect and feeling, using unheard synth vamps, string sections, percussions and breakdowns pushing it into a whole new direction while retaining the feel of the original mix. the track is already electric in it s original form but here mike maurro pushes the energy levels right through the roof, birthing a fresh new mix of a stone cold classic! on the b-side we have the low slung funk of the new birth s killer -deeper-, released in 77 as a single on promo 12- this cut gets the mm mix treatment, with the intro extended and the drums brought fully upfront in the mix mike has teased out all the best parts of the original arrangement while managing to stamp his always unique style on this new version. this midtempo groover is pure soul all the way, one for the serious dancers that keeps rolling itself along into one of the most solid, funkiest grooves ever! simply put, another set of essential mixes from a modern day master! file under - *essential disco*
