brand new music from the mysterious francis inferno orchestra on londons join the dots music label. 2010 and saw a slew of releases for francis inferno orchestra on under the shade, wolf music and dikso which gained the attention and support from disco and house dons the revenge, eamon harkin, session victim, cottam, eddie c, jay shepheard, hot toddy and chamboche.

supported by tornado wallace (delusions of grandeur), pete herbert (reverso 68/dance disorder)... when jay shepheard launched retrofit in early 2010, deep house with a splash of disco was on the menu. six releases later and the quality of music hasnt faltered once. jays own work has always been the main focus on all five releases but for retrofit 6, rudys midnight machine, (who is in fact robin lee of faze action) takes to the stage alongside an appearance from shepheard (as ee_ef_ex) on remixing duties. >ecstatic love glow< kicks off the ep, diving head first into the disco and synth heavy realm that we expect from retrofit (and, for that matter, from mr lee), whose house outputs with faze action as far back as 97 speak for themselves. the intro of tip tapping hats and congas leads into a penetrating bass guitar, a riff that goes on to be cleverly mirrored by keyboards and later, by what sounds like a scratchy lakland guitar. wooden hats, sirens and a plethora of cosmic elements boogie their way around until the tracks dominant synth parades in and takes over the arrangement, striking a dramatic and smug pose at the close of each stab. the second track of >east side good living< sticks with its predecessors groove, cosmic sirens, electronic whistles and metallic drum taps yet again highlighting rudys modern disco sound

following on from the furious 601 release we revisit the aquasky single and ask some mates of ours to go in on the remix tip and try and add some of their own bass induced mayhem and here, ladies and gentlemen, is the end result. not for the faint hearted or those of an uneasy disposition.

kieren dickins aka dels is a new type of rapper (which is another way of saying that heãs more than just a rapper). applying the kind of attention to detail, micro-management and macro-vision which jay-z used to build a business empire, dels makes art. popular art mind you, but art all the same, an album of emotional peaks, musical innovation and surreal, brilliant lyrics, held together by such a unique, such a strong vision that it sounds almost silly to suggest itãs just a debut. already causing a stir with the tasters ¶shapeshift÷ and ¶trumpalump÷ (and the videos he masterminded for them), everything is now ready to show how these pieces fit into the bigger picture.

sasha carassi is one of the best italian techno djs and producers. since 2002 his immense output gives the worldwide techno scene a lot of exciting material. numerous releases on labels like drumcode, sleaze, respekt recordings, 8 sided dice or driving forces he gained a lot of attention and in the following teamed up with artists like joseph capriati ,adam jay, brian sanhaji,spektre or virgil enzinger. his latest release on harthouse called >white sucker< last year was massive. now we are absolutely positive that sasha carassi, founder of globox and cofounder of phobiq should be part of the harthousefamily. with the a-side track 3 44 sasha takes off with everything important to a good techno track: a nice innocent intro takes place and blows everything off with the entering beats and percussions. the twisted use of science fiction sounds sets interesting highlights what makes the track a real peak time pearl. the first track on the b side continues energy and charakter of >344< but turns the meaning of synthsizer use into a bit more psychological torture porn.

if it is about contemporary house music, there is no way of avoiding the northern djs & producers. first and foremost with roberto rodriguez aka manolo, who has shaped his personal funk infected old-school vibe over the last years and helped the house revive without forgetting from where it came from. his future beat investigators strictly followed the detroit heritage and his acid kings membership gave us lust for the roland tb 303 again. the bermuda project came back to cosmic again and had more than an impact on the nu disco styles. it is his pertinent mix of soulful, funky & functional dancefloor and his his effective productions who convinced the tastemakers worldwide and prepared his ground for top notch releases on labels like compost, 2020vision, freerange or delusions of grandeur and remixes for acts like yoko ono, tigerstripes, jay shepheard, the timewriter, marmion, crazy p, bellringers or vanessa daou. now the time has come for his own platform called serenades, featuring the manolesque ep - for those who like it deep, down & funky!

twisted tongue follow up their acclaimed debut album with the first single from their follow-up lp, >a return to space<. eschewing the p-funk stylings of their self-titled debut, twisted tongue (dave jay & mark dalton) provide an essential revival of the mid-tempo soul stepper, featuring guest vocalist johanna lee sweetly leading a tough, incessant groove that recalls the classic likes of nick martinelli and the mizell brothers. twisting the track even further are the remixes provided by dj ray mang (dfa, mangled), one of the founders of londons nu-disco scene, who has long taken inspiration from new yorks golden era of the loft and paradise garage. twisted tongue writer/producer dave jay joined forces with ray for his >mang vs. mondo< ep on mangled earlier this year, and here mang returns the favour by dubbing out and extending >a return to space< to mind-bending effect. on the flipside is the cinematic, downtempo remix by blue states, which subtly subverts the original, transforming the track into a late night indie excursion. andy dragazis (blue states) has now been delivering his unique brand of melancholy, guitar-led head music for over decade, via labels such as xl recordings, and this mix of >a return to space< ranks up there with his most memorable work
