disco obsessive loud e became famous with the launch of his internet radio station cbs and his re arranged versions of records he bought at flea markets, leaving out the odd parts of the songs. this limited 12inch contains three new edits from rotterdams hottest! london based label ambassadors reception is run under the a&r guidance of stevie kotey (bear funk).

sometime chicken lips collaborator and full time disco don stevie kotey keeps the momentum going on his longstanding and ever consistent imprint by going slightly off piste with the latest bearfunk 12inch. for my friends is the work of lusty zanzibar aka alex cordiner, cabaret voltaire fan and former holistic artist, and we re struggling to describe it effectively to be honest. its a simple concoction of fluttery synth riffs and fat bottom end, but has the sort of quirky melody that you just dont expect to hear in a noo disco record, or a house record for that matter. it is, however totally infectious, and destined to be one of bearfunks biggest of the year we reckon. solid mixes come from kotey and lusty himself, and all are dominated by the riff, as will your brain be after listening to this package a few times. beginning of the night, end of the night, all night, all aboard the wonky disco train to zanzibar

nice price deal !!! hailing from japan free disco moved to london two years ago and brought with him an ear for deep music. already an accomplished composer, record collector and disco selector when he sent out a demo of his new recordings it wasnt just electric minds that took note but also new yorks rong music where he will release later this year.. the a side >psychedelic symmetry< is a fast paced track made for the dance floor. heavy bass through out which is bound to find favor with the house heads as well as the lovers of the nu disco sound. the b side >hippe can dance with boogie< leans towards the cosmic with a spacey sound accompanied by live bass and keys.for this project we have commissioned our first remix with stevie kotey. kotey chose to remix >hippe can dance with boogie< creating a spacey disco excursion. he has added live percussion, new drums and replayed the synths so the full treatment from one of todays finest remixers

nice price deal !!! this is one of the biggest tracks of the winter. a huge rework of the the rasmus 90s classic in the shadows done by two well-known producers. the limited whitelabel is comming up with amazing remixes by stevie mycs, alex m., andrew spencer & ronny rockstroh

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.

absolutely strong and kickin electro house production with extremely nice male where is the love vocals on top!!

conya returns with a biggie from gianlucca pighi and robert owens. they deliver four raw and deep tunes that will be sure winners on the floor. a2: live b3 hammond by paolo apollo negri written by stevie wonder. b1: jaytripwire delivers a stunning remix and proves that germany is definitely on the map this summe

excellent deep atmospheric nuggets

tasty 3 tracker from optimuz aka f1!! wobbly basslines sit under bleepy synths and belchs!

hairy claw kicks off 2008 with new artists, a more consistent release schedule, a new a&r (alongside label man stevie kotey) in our man dean muhsin and some serious releases. first up comes from dan drastic. dan is a german producer and dj with impeccable taste. previous output for highgrade has been superb and he has some amazing stuff due to drop on moon harbour (where he takes care of promotions in fine style) so hairy claw have handpicked him for the first release of 2008. deep, groovy and with just the right amount of drive, >xibeca< is a mordern house cut of the highest order. supernature and tsuba artists bearweasel take the techier elements of dan’s original and twist them into a flowing tech-house cut too - so there’s something for the heavier crowds too. there are big things afoot with hairy claw, we’ll keep you posted

arturo has been championing the classiest nu disco sounds at his club miocuore in pescara, italy with guests like the idjut boys, stevie kotey, greg wilson, maurice fulton, joakim and alden tyrell and building the most loyal of followings.stevie kotey picked up his album on a recent gig there and the first single svolvaer is destined to take arturo around the world in a bear disco dub spaceship. svolvaer is aptly named after arturos favourite place in norway, a country that has been, in artists originally introduced by bear funk like lindstrom and prins thomas, a musical inspiration to him. arturo adds his own italian flavours though and even bear funk gold artist fabrizio mammarella was enlisted on the guitar lead flipside track rego dancer. its a family affair as they say, but you dont wanna mess with anyone from the capone family

electro vocal house tunes in different mixes by stefano prada, phil joy, steve s, houseshaker & dj sign

rising star fabrizio mammarella s new slammin tracks for the regenerated bear funk gold are a fine return for the man from pescara, italy. his last work for stevie kotey s bear funk was his amazing remix of piston fiston which appeared alongside the optimus remix. he also made it onto ivan smagghe s fabric compilation with the 2005 bear funk release >tear up<. things are really looking up for this quietly spoken studio don. releases on bear funk, hairy claw, tiny sticks and brontosaurus recs have all turned heads in dj booths and on dancefloors and this release is no exception. low-slung echoed guitars, tight live drums and psyched effects are the order of the day. funk with a smiling face. check the flipside for a piece of another guitar-led number. much slower and blessed out but no less funked-out!

stevie kotey working with chaz jankel and dave barbe of (bow wow wow) covering a giorgio moroder classic thats remixed by chicken lips. bearfunk gold has made it happen. to kick off our new series bearfunk gold, label boss has pulled out all tricks known to man to produce a complete classic of a record. on top of this all stevie ropes in his brothers to provide a chicken lips remix so dubbed out that studio 1 would be proud.

brennan green/stevie kotey & emepror machine all on one ep. what a treat!! green is considered family at bear towers any one that has had the pleasure of meeting him will now what a top top guy he is, so it s great to get the >pluto s retreat< (bfk021 a) remix ready for you all. we chose well with this remix as optimus none other than pete herbert and mat anthony deliver a scorching club version that has been played on many a saturday night by the idjuts and label big-bear mr kotey - it s pure e-music. on the flipside mr kotey presents piston fiston (bfk021 b)...

superb dj funky disco mashups , first (a1) steve silk hurley s jack your body vs kelis (milkshake), (a2) than stevie wonder , wow !! >> already tasted by hed kandi crew and dj disciple !!

the man who along with long-time partner alan braxe has risen through the ranks to become one of the pivotal masterminds in the gallic house movement steps out alone for his debut release (albeit aptly assisted by fellow defender partner savage on the double-a side cut). the midtempo >omega man< opens proceedings and is clearly cut from the same cloth that linus loves used to fashion >the terrace< - a stevie nicks parody that will similarly be used as a musical bed for tv shows all year long. >wait for love< meanwhile is rich in parisian charm - filters set to maximum and compression on extra high - warm, melodic, simple and yet highly complex and distinctly french-sounding making this another bass throbbing must-have purchase

funky soulful house number with a funky guitar and great horns written by stevie wonder !!! (sb)

faithful cover of the old maze jazz funk number replayed by a collaboration of atfc and inaya day electric tribal melodies dropped over an uplifting backing remix

cool house remixes to this r&b monster

90s party smasher

love & hoppiness, deep horse, shake that und night rainer diskodub zeugen einmal mehr von der kraftvollen energie, fŸr die feindrehstar seit mittlerweile fŸnfzehn jahren auf anspruchsvollen dance floors geschŠtzt werden. und demnŠchst dŸrften sie fŸr neue ekstase im club oder auf dem festival sorgen.

without new jersey native kerri kaoz chandler, house specifically deep house would sound very different. ever since his teens he has been making and playing music with a unique sense of soul, jazz and deepness. from majors like atlantic, king street sounds and nervous via his own madhouse, his releases are never short of genre-defining classics that have spawned a thousand copycats. affectionately referred to as the stevie wonder of house, kerriÕs dj sets take him all over the world and often find him playing live keys next to his informed selections. heÕs meticulous about sound, too, which means that no-ones kicks hit quite like kerris. his instantly classic and timeless dj-kicks mix, though, takes him out of the club and through a world of influences and inspiration

energie pur! kanadisches fusion-kollektiv zŸndet die nŠchste groove-rakete.
das sechskšpfige souljazz orchestra aus ottawa ist fŸr ein orchester zwar etwas klein geraten, dafŸr fallen spielfreude und selbstverstŠndnis auf sympathische weise grš§er aus. seit 2002 ist das politisch sendungsbewusste sextett in der originalbesetzung unterwegs, und wurde dabei schon dreimal fŸr den kanadischen juno award nominiert. ihre lyrisch starken texte verpacken die kanadier vielseitig und multilingual mit 80er-vintage-synthies in tropische lo-fi-tanznummern, die von einflŸssen aus soul, ethio-jazz, sixties-funk, afrobeats und latin zehren. 2007 gelang der band mit -mista president- ein internationaler club-hit, der nicht nur das interesse von gilles peterson weckte, sondern auch die tŸr zum label strut (mulatu astatke, ebo taylor, idris ackamor & the pyramids) šffnete. dort erschienen die alben -rising sun- (2010), -solidarity- (2012), -inner fire- (2013) und zuletzt -resistance- (2015). in dieser zeit kam es zu kollaborationen mit musikern von nigeria bis ruanda und kuba bis haiti. bei seinen zahlreichen ausverkauften shows teilte sich das kollektiv die bŸhne mit musikalischen schwergewichten wie femi kuti, stevie wonder und bob dylan. auch -under burning skies- zeichnet sich durch einen passionierten, analog produzierten groove-mix aus, der einfach nur glŸcklich macht.
