A true Balearic classic. One of a handful of records that can comfortably boast this title, Elkin & Nelson's 1979 classic 'Jibaro' sits in the canon of selections that enlightened the ears of the jet-set and globe trotting music fanatics in the heady and much storied years of the White isle in the 1980's. The Colombian brothers Javier and Leon Marin Velez brought their own rustic brand of folksy-Rock-Psychedelia to the listening public in 1974 with their debut LP 'Angeles Y Demonios' on Columbia records. The brothers had relocated to Spain, snared a major label deal and ran with it. The first of 3 LP's it proved a big hit in later years with adventurous DJ's and selectors. A cult record you might say. Of course, this LP featured 'Jibaro' in all it's forms, but it is this 1986 reissue 12" promo pressing with it's iconic, distinctive jacket that was the coveted slab sonic adventurers were seeking. Fully sanctioned and legitimately remastered from the original sources and packaged in it's original Columbia promo sleeve 'Jibaro' is back on the shelves, still an incredible record that gets pulled by the most discerning selectors across the globe. A true classic, featured here in it's long and short versions as per the '86 release. Absolute top-shelf stuff here, essential, must own and classic.

Kalita Records are proud to announce their third release, an official reissue of IWABO's 'Reggae Down', a Caribbean funk bomb of the highest calibre perfect for the modern discerning dancefloor.

The band's only ever record, originally released in June 1985 in a small pressing quantity of just five-hundred copies, 'Reggae Down' has been a staple semi-unknown weapon for various well-known selector DJs across the globe, and we feel that it is now perfect time to share this gem with you as well. The A side is perfect for moving the dancefloor into next gear, whilst 'Smile On Your Face' is a joyous reggae track designed for the more chilled occasion.
Accompanied with liner notes and a never-before-seen photo of the band, Kalita Records are excited to be unearthing and shining a light on this record once again.

Toot Toot, Beep Beep, out of the way! KiNK's taster for his up-and coming album on Running Back is here.

"Perth" is a prime-example of the Bulgarian producer's unstoppable good times ware. Taken from "Playground", the three versions here are dripping with grease. Split between the original, a chord mix and a beat version, it's all you ever wanted from a single. Perfect house music for techno DJs and techno music for disco DJs. We strongly recommend the use of two copies back and forth...fun, fun, fun!

Final volume in the 'WALK.MAN' mix series. A 4 track of burners and disco thuds.
'CLOUD BREAK' bolts out the blocks with deadly bongo drums and heady vocal whilst 'DON'T YOU' opens it out on the breakdown with xxxy. 'MAGNOLIA' is looped up phaser disco distilled. Finished with the glacial 'UR SALVATION'.

Osage (pronounced Oh-Sage) is the electronic music making alter ego of dj/producer lil'dave, a veteran DJ on the Philadelphia nightclub scene, a member of the highly respected dj crew Illvibe Collective and the co-host of the internationally known broadcast Eavesdrop Radio. As a recording artist, he has released music under various aliases for record labels such as BBE Records, Tru Thoughts, Record Breakin' Music, Soulspazm, and First Word Records and collaborated with and remixed a diverse range of artists such as RJD2, Lady Alma, Ty, Ryat, Captain Planet, Foremost Poets, and more.The Osage sound is an amalgamation of musical influences such as deep house, samba, African rhythms, futuristic r&b, boogie, uk garage, salsa, broken beat, and soul. Built from slightly unorthodox drum programming, and layers of synthesizers, the music is focused on bringing the soulfulness out of the machines he is working with. Over the years, he has been building a solid reputation by creating a catalog of clever dance floor edits, remixes, and original tracks which have been supported by notable tastemakers such Gilles Peterson. This 12" compiles 4 of our favorite moments from the 2 EPs that Osage has released thus far on Bastard Jazz. The record kicks off with the bubbling house vibes of "I Found You" featuring Dezeray Dawn on vocals, before moving into a deeper House dub of the track from Washington DC's Sol Power All-Stars. On the flip, "Last Call" is a late end of the night anthem with Osage himself offering words of inspiration, and the EP rounds off with the "Anyway", a sparse dance cut with syncopated claps, moody synths and heartfelt vocals from Yemi.

Label co-founder Vercetti Technicolor returns to Giallo Disco after the Black September LP with the soundtrack to the psychedelic neon-soaked slasher short HARD PILL. Directed by writer-director Daniel Freedman, Vercetti Technicolor's Fulci meets Digweed score takes you from Mainetti to Martinez. Drugged out club hits and tense shadowed corridor atmospherics. No one is safe... not even you. Art by Eric A. Lee

"5X12 Vinyl"
In 1976, Nile Rodgers & Bernard Edwards founded the legendary CHIC Organization Ltd. Together they wrote and produced many number one hits and very quickly became the biggest hit music factory since Motown.
A few years after the dawn of Disco, Nile Rodgers & Bernard Edwards disbanded The Chic Organization Ltd., but they kept on playing & producing, with Nile Rodgers quickly becoming the biggest pop producer of the 80's. In 1983, he produced David Bowie's 'Let's Dance' and in 1984, Madonna's 'Like a Virgin'. Many more artists also benefited from his incredible production skills and unique guitar style, including Mick Jagger, INXS, Duran Duran, Eric Clapton, Hall & Oates, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Mariah Carey, Maroon 5, Michael Jackson, Grace Jones...to name but a few.

It's been a couple of years since Classic released an original artist album, the last one being Luke Solomon's critically praised 'Timelines'. This time round Classic brings a relative newcomer into the fold.
Eli Escobar has slowly been building a credible reputation out of his home in New York, releasing his first single back in the late nineties and moving more recently from hip hop into dance music. As a DJ, he harks back to a golden era of disco and early house music, graduating through the 90s during which he was brought up on a diet of underground house including Classic's early output. In recent years Classic's head was turned by his wonderful album 'Up All Night' that was released on Night People, a label from New York that Eli (pronounced 'EL-EE') has a vested interest in. Following up the album with a series of singles, the label swiftly became a cult dance classic.
'Happiness' continues from where 'Up All Night' left off, championing the disco cut-up ethos from lesser known staples. Eli also enlists the vocal talents of Nomi Ruiz and the legendary Vanessa Daou, who most notably featured on the classic Danny Tenaglia and Peter Daou's, 'Surrender Yourself' back in the 90s. Moving from straight up house party jams such as the title track, 'Happiness Pt 2' into raw Chicago work outs like 'Chaka Khan', Mood II Swing inspired deepness such as 'Winters Anthem' and 'I Need U', before wrapping it all up with straight up disco floor fillers like 'Phreeky' and 'Can't Stop Dancing'.
'Happiness' will surely solidify Eli Escobar's place as more than a 'one to watch' producer, this will take him into the realms of a torch bearer for a new generation of underground dance acts.

"Love Can't Turn Around" is a Chicago House ANTHEM! A true classic of the genre. Universally recognized and loved, it made history as the very first House record to reach the UK singles charts in 1986 and continues to find new fans today.

Inspired heavily by Isaac Hayes' underground Disco smash "I Can't Turn Around", a record that was very big in various Chicago clubs getting plays from DJ's like Ron Hardy, Frankie Knuckles and more. With "Love Can't Turn Around" Farley and Jesse re-appropriated Hayes' Disco vibe and updated it with drum machines, synths and of course, Mr.Darryl Pandy's unique vocal performance centering around the desperation of a lover who has been wronged. A truly influential track that opened the doors for many producers and DJ's in the decades to follow.

Here, for the first time, the definitive mixes of this all time classic record are available in one place.
Re-mastered and re-issued in conjunction with Trax Records this essential Chicago record lives on.

"Now this is how it started"

After launching with a killer reissue of a private press gem from Morrison Kincannon, Spacetalk presents its' first compilation: a superb selection of soul, disco and boogie obscurities curated by noted Parisian crate-digger and DJ Jeremy Underground. Beauty has its' origins in a chance encounter between Jeremy and Spacetalk co-founder and Psychemagik Danny McLewin at Maceo's, Glastonbury's renowned backstage bar. Having completed his regular festival set - keeping the dancefloor moving with his more familiar house and U.S garage sound - Jeremy was treating the Maceo's crowd to a tasty selection of soul, disco and boogie obscurities. Danny was impressed, introduced himself to the My Love Is Underground label founder, and several hours later the duo had hatched a plan for Spacetalk's first compilation. Jeremy Underground is well regarded within the record collecting community, and counts a number of high-profile diggers' amongst his friends. He famously played alongside Red Greg at Floating Points' first You're A Melody party at Plastic People back in 2013, the four-hour recording of which is still available on the Eglo website. The Parisian is also no stranger to putting together high quality compilations, having previously mined his house collection for two volumes of My Love Is Underground on Favorite Recordings. Beauty, though, is the first collection to showcase the depth and variety of his record collection. Stuffed full of rare, hard-to- find and little-known gems, it confirms the Frenchman's status as one of Europe's most open-minded record collectors. Amongst its' 15 tracks you'll find the Creative Arts Ensemble's spiritual soul-jazz gem Unity', the samba sunshine of Leila Pinheiro, the folksy, Latin-tinged breeziness of Ron Rinadli's Mexican Summer', and the dewy-eyed, late night soul of Nu-Cleus's ridiculously hard-to-find Needing A Woman'. The beating heart of the compilation, though, is a selection of heady, heartwarming cuts that blur the boundaries between Philly soul, disco, jazz-funk and boogie. These include the sparkling, synth-laden 1981 boogie of Do Your Dance' by Shades Of Love (whose members included future '80s soul/disco star Meli'sa Morgan), the jazz-funk inspired library grooves of Christer Norden's Lay Back', and the smooth, post-boogie soul of Richardi Mac's superb Told You So'. Oh, and Let Love Flow' by Jamaican singer Sonya Spence, a deliciously sweet and loved-up disco-soul shuffler infused with the distinctive swing of the Caribbean. These are just some of the highlights, repeat listens will uncover new favourites, hidden gems, and impossible-to- find cuts from the crates of one of Europe's most celebrated DJs

Max manetti is a new artist to Uber. This 4 track ep showcasing his unique loose percussion and bass driven take on the Balearic beat capturing the dancefloor and the sunshine in equal measures.

Changuinola is a dubby narcotic dream of a tune subtle melodies and a perfect vocal sample evocing nights under stars at Hostal Salinas.

By now, the world is familiar with the extensive works of monsieur Dimitri From Paris. His prowess as a globetrotting DJ and taste-maker for over 20+ years, his reputation for the finer things in life, his sartorial style and of course most importantly his infamous remixes and Disco edits. Isn't it odd that until now, there hasn't been an official home for the man's stellar reworks It just doesn't make any sense. This is exactly the reason that he has decided to set up this brand new venture - Le Edits Records. Naturally, a high standard of quality is present with all Le Edits releases across the board - From sourcing 100% virgin vinyl used for pressing to the mastering through tape, to the beautifully crafted and designed 'tip-on' sleeves that were popular with record companies in the 1960's and 1970's, to the wonderfully imagined graphic design that adorns said sleeves - Dimitri has overseen every aspect of this, his first label.
'What about the music' we hear you ask Well, simply put, only the finest Disco reworks are to be released on Le Edits. Fans will be treated to Dim's special versions of classics and rarer than rare tracks, all lovingly re-touched and mixed from the reels and master tapes each time, fully sanctioned and created in conjunction with the artists, rights holders and Above Board Distribution. 100% official and 100% essential. This is no 'under the counter' operation, Le Edit is here to bring back some quality and class to the re-edit game by doing things, once and for all, properly and respectfully. The first duo of reworks on Le Edits are 2 tracks that should be more than familiar with all Disco aficionados, coming out strong Dimitri has decided to set things off with a bang by bringing a French chic to the music!
New York Disco legends Odyssey have long been a cult group with dancers and DJ's. They've had numerous commercial and underground club hits throughout their career and they are still performing live and writing material today. 'Native New Yorker' - their first single, and surely their most well known record and biggest hit has always been a huge crossover record since it's release in 1977, a track you could hear in the clubs as well as on the radio and at neighborhood parties and weddings that has endured the test of time. No-one has ever had the opportunity to rework 'Native New Yorker', at least, not from the original 1977 tape. Until now. Dimitri has taken this evergreen classic and respectfully added his own classic touch and flourishes with an extra-special 'DFP Super Disco blend'. A beautifully fresh and original take on the Disco anthem, Dimitri's rearrangement is markedly different from the original '77 mix and pushes the track into exciting new territory. A masterclass indeed.
Joining Odyssey on this beautiful slab of wax is another monumental club classic, another track that will be familiar to anyone with an interest in Disco. This one is truly epic and has long found it's way into the bags of DJ's and the eardrums of dancers since it originally came out way back in 1979. It's been re-released so many times over the years with many different mixes due to it's continuing popularity and it has also been famously covered and in the pop charts. Ladies and gentlemen we give you a 'DFP DJ Friendly Remix' of Dan Hartman's 'Relight My Fire'! Again, with this reworking Dimitri has tackled the master tapes to give us his vision of the ideal mix. Dimitri has skilfully put the open drums right upfront in the mix making this a versatile cut for the DJ's, leading us into what is surely one of the most recognisable vocal vamps of all time courtesy of the legendary Loleatta Holloway. It's only a matter of time before the iconic piano break drops and we're in! This mix will surely cause the dancefloor to burn up. A high energy, roof raising version of an anthem.
Le Edit is starting off in fine style as you can see. This is the first of many and Dimitri has many more incredible mixes and edits hidden up his finely tailored sleeve. Join us on the dancefloor as we elevate the art of edits and present new visions of dance classics from the past - DFP style!
TRACK LISTING

Ensconced at the Infinity nightclub in the Sheraton Waikiki,Phase 7 was Hawaiian disco royalty during the mid-1970s. Originally founded by Van de Guzman and Hemingway Jasmin, the group featured the island's top brass players. Here they are with some uplifting, Brazilian-style disco-funk; and a mellow soul groover, on the flip.Green vinyl.

It's time to celebrate the return of Tom Lunn and Finnian Casey to Sneaky Music. Together known as Silk 86, these English gentlemen were in charge of our first ever release back in 2013 with an outstanding EP that sold out in only two weeks, climbing rapidly to Juno's Deep House top ten.

We can only be proud of seeing the growth they have had during this time, releasing on labels like Manucci's Mistress, 1Trax and the recent launch of Emotive, their own imprint.

Now responsible for our lucky #13, Silk 86 deliver a perfect mix between old and new school, showing once again their true love for proper quality House vibes.

It's with two kisses and a hearty handshake that Bordello A Parigi welcome stalwart of electronic music: Mr Pauli. Schooled on the West Coast, this pivotal figure has worked extensively with likeminded visionaries to create iconic tracks as the Novamen, Matzo & Pauli and Sumerian Fleet whilst producing his own unique works on labels like Moustache and Viewlexx. After such successes Pauli returns as a solo producer, delivering to the Bordello mansion two tracks of pure class. 'At Night' is big, bright and brilliant. Hooks grip as soon as the needle lands. Vintage vocoder lyrics, a particular favourite of this trailblazer, tell a tale of twilight romance while crisp beats snap and notes sail. The flip keeps the fires burning. Synthlines are soaked in Mediterranean sunshine, an Italo Disco influence coming to the fore, with lovelorn vocals used to balance this cheer-filled creation. Golden sounds from a true pionee

Those familiar with the world of dub disco and modern Balearica should know all about Layne Fox, a San Francisco-based producer who has released some killer records over the last decade as part of noted collective 40 Thieves.

The Bay Area ensemble has been responsible for some killer records, including gems on Rong Music and Leng, who released their expansive debut album The Sky Is Yours back in 2014.

Now, Fox has decided to go it alone for an outing on Magic Feet that marks his first solo outing since 2005's Move Me under the Tuffy alias. It's something of a gem, too, effortlessly combining many of his familiar influences with nods towards druggy Italo-disco and horizontal pop.

Fox delivers two contrasting versions of No Runnin' Away. There's a Vocal Mix, where Sunny's icy, atmospheric voice drifts over a chugging mid-tempo groove built around a Moroder-style bassline, swirling electronics, dreamy chords and metronomic beats. Typically, Fox also provides a tasty Dub, where select vocal snippets drift in an out of a delay and reverb heavy mix that also gives increased prominence to his stretched-out synths and late night electronics.

Magic Feet boss Craig Bratley handles remix duties himself, offering a complimentary but notably different interpretation. His version subtly emphasizes the track's downbeat pop credentials, pushing the vocal to the fore above a sparse electro groove, dreamy pads and flashes of acid-inspired electronics. Think Cold Wave vibes but with actual production values, not pretend 'mastered on cassette'. It's the perfect accompaniment to Fox's hypnotic, head-in-the-clouds original.

Masterworks Music certainly know how to make an entrance, kicking off this new series, 'Bag Of Tricks', with a star-studded cast. Picking the best high-end sizzlers from a who's who of the nu-disco scene. Highlights include the sublime slicked-out Chic-style electro-disco of Rayko 'Looks Like Love', the shiny 80s synth-soul seducer 'Too Much For Me To Take' by Dr Packer and the shoulder-padded power-stomp of 80s Child's 'Bangkok Nights' Pressed on

THE NITE OWL DINER co-founder ALEX BURKAT finally graces us with a full EP! "SPINNING PLATES", "STYLE WARS", "MOVING DAY" and "RED PINEAPPLE" are all driving late night stompers sure to leave an impression long after the party has ended. Support from THE BLACK MADONNA, OCTO OCTA & others.

4 tracks of stunning french disco in a wide range of styles : from 80s afrobeat to underground canadian cosmic groove, here is another bullet from the parisian gang! A1/ Guehi Jean Pantalon Craqué Guéhi Jean is a key figure of Ivorian music and many of his records mixing funk, jazz and afrobeat are sought after nowadays. Having left Africa in order to make it in France, he recorded this digital afrobeat hit in Paris, then went back to his native country where he died in 2012. Despite his talent, Guéhi Jean didn't get the recognition he deserved. A2/ Michel Conte & Cie Magoshan A disco anthem composed for Quebec cultists wearing flares, or the main theme from an obscure series Anyway it is time to acclaim Magoshan's pulsing come back on the dancefloo ! B1/ Jean-Michel Gascuel Dominus This French composer who collaborated with Pierre Schaeffer was also a great lyricist working for the likes of Vivian Vee or Suzy Andrews, and a fashion designer. With its Latin touch, this track is a little UFO standing out of the rest of his French productions, so let us be blessed by Dominus Domine Dominarum. B2/Michel Robidoux les Planètes This track by composer Michel Robidoux featured on a kidisk with a book called Visitons les Planètes avec Goldorak' and was released in Canada in 1980. This incredible space jam was chosen as a macaroon for this new EP - our tribute to an amazing composer who wrote more than 325 songs and even collaborated with Leonard Cohen.

Tracy Island announces Episode 2 of the 10 piece concept series with 'The Unlimited'. This time the musical transmission comes from Beach Wizards, the secondary alias of the well renowned collective Seahawks, offering their interpretation of Island mentality. The release opens with the ever growing mood of 'The Diamond Sea' - 18 minutes of building disco strings and stabs, rolling bongos and percussion, and intermittent ambience with an A side offering a true listening experience. 'Don't you wanna get off.' Get out the city they called. The B side starts and ends with the lulling sound of midnight waves in a downbeat balearic boogie of rain chimes and head nodding subs. Between these tides interjects 'Lucky Dips' on the B2, with melodies from an aquatic saxophone from below the surface.

"For WS021 we head to Italy where we find a duo by the name of Concret aka Italo-Mexican musician Diego Angelico Escobar and producer Q-pha. Together, they submit a couple of ethereal, stripped-back and driving techno tracks that compliment each other so well they appear to be brother and sister from the same session. On remix duty we've got another Italian, Rodion, who ads his signature sound to Ritorno and flips it into a laid-back dark groover. Last but not least is UK's Heretic, aka Timothy Clerkin, who remixes Andata into a classy acid burner fit for a massive warehouse party or dark, sweaty basement. "

The Eccentrics parties started some three years ago by Will Overill and Mark Gilbert have been a monthly staple of the eclectic nightlife in Peckham since its inception, playing a very wide selection of music attributed to thirty years of record collecting. The second release of which delves into those collections to amass a veritable hoard of gold.
Cosa Rosa: is a stunning fretless bass led boogie new age monster, with soaring vocals guaranteed to bristle hairs on the back of the most cynical of music fan, a sure fire winner here.
Wake Up: Is a dose of downtempo synth laden kraut funk urging the listener to taste life in all its technicolour glory.
Nar Na Neh: Here's something a smart Dj will use to build a dance floor, a disco not disco jam that rolls along with drum machine insistence, compass point sensibilities with synth and slap bass wonder.
Och Eye: Dirty, sleazy synth laden kraut funk, heavy heavy chugg
4 Rune : Mystical bongo laden intro with eastern snake charming seduction builds and builds to dramatic synth stabs, cinematic, wide and very very hot

Norm De Plume (Kolour Ltd, Delusions Of Grandeur, Sideways Recordings, Plumage) debuts on Black Riot serving up four deep disco bombs in his signature style.

That cyberpunk chameleon of styles, Manchester's pride and dancefloor master Ruf Dug is back on wax on Copenhagen's Music For Dreams. Following up the first 12' of remixes that came out last year, we once again re-visit the island life of monsieur Ruffy and his debut full length album Island' (recorded during a sojourn on Guadeloupe).
First up we have Italians on the mix. Hi-jacking Ruffy's tribute to Wally Badarou, Leo Mas and Fabrice opt to do their own thing: which is churning out a bouncing house belter of their own that bears little resemblance to the original lo-fi synth reverie.
Closer to the original then, is fellow Mancunian Andi Hanley's take on the same track. Adding sparse percussion and and a simple but effective drum beat, this take seems to simply be an uncovered second half of the original, where it finally takes off for the dancefloor.
Mangrove Dub' is reworked by fresh-on-the-scene Aussie producer Tropical Hi-Fi who creates a brilliant version full of moist ambient textures and reverb-heavy dub treatments.
At last but definitely not least, Seahawks turns the whimsical hippie folk ballad Le Rayon Vert' into a more intense and neatly dressed affair, focusing on the instrumental parts and lifting aside vocalist Nev Cotte's contribution to the original. Still with a mindful of tropical dreams and the ocean shore close at hand, but in a more introvert Vini Reilly kind of way.
Essential package.

Heavily arpeggiated, slow paced, disco drummed LP by Finnish Televisio (produced by half of Helsinki's Jesse). Tracks never leave the territory of instrumental early 80's disco oriented grooves, some with chugging rhythms, others uptempo styled. Highlighting "Kutonen" as a peaceful space balad and "Seiska" as the most hypnotizing one.

Some records are timeless and never age - "Happiness Is Just Around The Bend" by The Main Ingredient is one of those records. Originally released in 1974, "Happiness" was a record before it's time - had it been released a year later it would undoubtedly have been one of the first 12" discs - so as a result, most discerning DJs at the time chose to play the album cut.

The song is actually a cover of UK Prog-Jazz band Brian Auger's Oblivion Express's version from the year before but Main Ingredient took the song to a whole new level and, 44 years later, it has become one of the most revered dance tunes of all-time.

Main Ingredient were unlucky with 12" releases, which is why we're delighted to give "Evening Of Love" it's first-ever 12" release! Once again this was a 1981 album track which years later it would become a Modern Soul anthem and rightfully be regarded as one of their best records.

12' DANCE is a 12 Track vinyl compilation series dedicated to showcasing the finest rare original 12' remixes and extended versions of crowd-pleasing, floor-filling classics.

Many of these mixes have not yet appeared on general release... until now.

12' Dance House showcases an essential selection of both the finest & the best-selling 12' single remixes of the genre, featuring mixes of iconic acts such as Happy Mondays, New Order, Chaka Khan and Brand New Heavies

Hot off a couple of 12' from Topher Horn, Rocksteady Disco follows up with its first compilation featuring a heap of heavily sampled originals from more well­known editors.Pontchartrain leads the release off with a summer­inspired aural prozac number. Next up is notorious Detroit editor Lafleur, busting out this original milky­smooth Detroit boogie house production. A slight little rearrangement from Rocksteady Disco label boss Peter Croce makes this one a bit more cohesive for the DJs. Lyon, France's G2S (In Any Case) kicks off the flip with a big­bottomed stomper reminiscent of some MCDE 'Raw Cuts'. Pontchartrain book­ends this release with a track that puts the 'rocksteady' in Rocksteady Disco, with heavy analog­meets­electro drum programming and complete with Pontchartrain on vocoder duties

Shanghai based, Altieri second release on Slow Motion and it is an absolute belter. An insane mix of acid and middle eastern influences that punches its way to the cerebral cortex and takes no prisoners. Sure to any drive any discerning dance floor into overdrive, Spazio Terra is backed up with a peak-time remix from the man that always can Fabrizio Mammarella.

Ben Jacobs aka Crackazat first made a name for himself when he was still living in Bristol and released on EP on the city's Futureboogie label, which has also signed music from the likes of Julio Bashmore, Crazy P and Outboxx.

Early in his career Crackazat was also the official warm up act for an at the time up and coming artist called Floating Points, who now needs no introduction as one of the world's leading electronic music producers.

Moving to Sweden shortly after the Futureboogie release, Crackazat made contact with the Local Talk owners Mad Mats and Tooli, and after a couple of single/EP releases signed his debut solo album Crescendo.
The last couple of years Crackazat has had an explosion of global popularity, which has led to playing gigs all over the world, and releasing tracks and remixes on labels ranging from Josh Wink's Ovum, Joey Negro's Z Records and Eureka in Japan.

Classically trained with a strong Jazz influence, Crackazat has a distinctively individual sound that fuses funk with soulful vocals and the electronic bass music associated with his former home of Bristol.
Eloquent and intelligent, Rainbow Fantasia is a masterpiece that showcases one of electronic music's most exciting talents.

Fred Ventura and Paolo Gozzetti are Italoconnection. In anticipation of their upcoming album 'Metropoli' on Bordello A Parigi we present to you the Voyage EP album sampler with alternative edits and an amazing cover version of The Electronic Circus' 'Direct Lines' which are exclusive to this 12.

Joining the Unknown Precept forces are C.G.I. Records' label head Matthew Wei- ner teaming up with Christopher Daresta as Pyramid Club. Being known for their T.W.I.N.S. and Anticipation solo activities, Cyclic Obsession comes as the debut re- lease of the four-handed formation taking its name from the eponymous venue which helped define the counterculture and queer sound of lower Manhattan in the late 70's. Recorded in their stronghold of Atlanta following a handful of tracks released via the jointly-operated D.K.A. Records, it shows the duo taking over primitive body music in its most physical and psychedelic dimension. Thick as a brick bass lines for the basement turmoil — reflecting the hazy vortex smoldering out of an ill-lighted nightclub. Think of spasmodic synth-driven tunes interspersed by convulsive vocals and throbbing snares, in which one could see the whites of the dancers' eyes right before the lights turn back on.

Original pressing. Canadian import.

Essential Disco right here - 'Act Like You Know'! What a banger, famously sampled by De La Soul on 'Ring Ring Ring'. Old school CLASSIC!

Calypso's next EP comes from one of the label's owners, Thomass Jackson. Delivering 3 tracks full of psycodelic guitars, analog synths, soothing percussions and with Italians "Boot & Tax" on remix duties, this Ep covers a broad range of sounds and styles. The journey begins with the westernesque "Head Rejection" sumerging us in a hallucinatory desert full of weird snakes and scorpions. Up next is "Witzelsutch"(a leftfield secret weapon for some djs already) with sublow basses and sharp synths doing all the work. "Creepy PC" is a slow chugger with a trance-inducing vibe aimed to make you close your eyes and let go. Last but not least, Italian super duo "Boot & Tax" delivers a somewhat more straight foward version of "Head Rejection" where a sonic synth makes you forget you are in the desert.

In May 1976 a record was released that would have an unforeseen and lasting impact on the music industry Ten Percent' by Double Exposure was an early release on the New York independent label Salsoul Records. America was in the grip of a disco explosion with new clubs opening on a weekly basis, Salsoul saw what was happening and swiftly created a sound for their label, heavily influenced by the music then coming out of Philadelphia, aimed directly at New York's dance-floors. Records like Salsoul Hustle,' Tangerine' and You're Just The Right Size' by The Salsoul Orchestra borrowed heavily from the beautifully orchestrated Philadelphia International records but added a more percussive, bass heavy depth that New York's DJs loved. So what was so special about this particular single then Double Exposure was, after all, just another band, Ten Percent' just another song, one of many disco' records released that week. First of all Salsoul became the first record label to make a twelve inch single available to Joe Public - the exotic format was previously only available to DJs as promotional items or bought under the counter at certain record stores. Not only that though, the extended version was created by Walter Gibbons, a DJ at New York's Galaxy 21 who'd built his reputation making exclusive versions of tracks to play in his sets. In 1976 it was unheard of for a DJ to set foot in a recording studio, being seen as little more than living jukeboxes by the serious music industry. Recording studios were strictly the domain of recording artists and producers so Walter found himself in a unique position, gaining access to a world no DJ had been granted before. Or so we thought...
The Men In The Glass Booth tells the full story. Featuring ground breaking re-edits and remixes by some of the Disco era's most influential DJs including Walter Gibbons, Bobby DJ Guttadaro, Tom Savarese, Jellybean Benitez, Tee Scott and John Luongo, this opulent release also includes a 40 page book which features exclusive photos and insights from some of the story's key figures.

REPRESSED !!
STILOVE4MUSIC keep 'em coming, this time the mysterious Devin Dare steps up with 2 killer sides for all the Disco freaks out there! You all know the drill by now with these releases, minimal info, obscure cuts, dope edits, vinyl ONLY! That's right, don't sleep because here we are treated to some serious dancefloor trouble! In our opinion this Chicago label is always quality so if you're looking for some club ammunition then this 12" will definitely "Feel so right..." You see what we did there Disco heads get on this one! Highly recommended!

NYC's Disco powerhouse West End Records should need no intro. The home of too-numerous-to-list club classics for over 30+ years is still impacting today on what we know to be club culture. The label started by one Mel Cheren (RIP) with assistance from Larry Levan and more way back in 1976 is still held in such high regard today with it's catalogue constantly being played, rediscovered, reinterpreted and loved by waves and waves of new fans and admirers.
'The West End story Vol. 4' is an essential overview of this most iconic of labels and some of it's more 'under the radar' output, following on it's from it's predecessor the quality bar is obviously set extremely high, one only has to look over the tracklist to see the names and titles that are included! Rare and overlooked cuts from Taana Gardner, Sparque, Forrrce, Inez Brooks and more make up 4 joyous sides of essential forward looking post Disco classics - We're talking late 70's, early 80's, synths, mega overdubs, left-field arrangements and anything and everything in-between. A truly golden era of dance music history, names like Tom Moulton, Francois K, Tee Scott and more make up some of the talent featured on this flawless selection of goodies. Oh, and for the record (no pun intended) these are all the extended mixes, 12" versions and special cuts, all killer - no filler! All tracks featured re-mastered, re-pressed and re-released with the permission of and in conjunction with West End Records, New York City / BMG.

On Hans-Peter Lindstrøm's latest album, those northern disco lights are twinkling once more. Over the continuous stream of nine interlocked tracks on It's Alright Between Us As It Is, he's refined his love of arpeggiated synths, warm and steamy analogue bubble baths and earworm melodies into his most rounded and complete statement to date.

A Norwegian based in Oslo, Lindstrøm has always made a virtue of his obsessive work ethic, turning his city centre studio (where his neighbours include friends and collaborators Prins Thomas, Todd Terje and Andre Bratten) into a factory floor for churning out monster tracks, then punching out regularly and going home to his family. This is about music being woven seamlessly into the fabric of life.

The album's title is a direct quote from one of Lindstrøm's favourite movies, Ingmar Bergman's Wild Strawberries. This Swedish arthouse classic is about looking for meaning and finding closure at the end of a long life. About reaching the special place you've waited for all your life. A professor asks his longtime housemaid if they could become more familiar, starting with her brushing his teeth for him. She replies they shouldn't become too intimate: 'it's all right between us as it is.'

The album aggregates all the best elements from his long and varied career: the Balearic free-disco excursions of his two albums with Prins Thomas, experimental cosmic voyages in the vein of Six Cups of Rebel and 2015's collaboration with the stellar Todd Rundgren, Runddans, shimmering electronic pop featuring vocals by American singer Grace Hall ('Shinin') and Sweden's Frida Sundemo ('But Isn't It'). 'Bungl (Like a Ghost)' features a stream of conscious poem by transgressive Norwegian vocalist Jenny Hval. Most of all it reveals him as a masterful mood sculptor, with heart-stopping chord changes rolling over his relentlessly uplifting beats.

Conceived as a continuous flow, each side of the vinyl version will play as one track, while the CD and streaming versions will be timestamped. But in any case, once you're strapped into Lindstrøm's driverless vehicle, you won't want to get out. It's alright as it is. In fact, it's more than alright: it's almost nearly perfect.

Casino Times continue on their crusade into the speakers of Earth's hottest dancing spots with the fourth edition of the Casino Edits series.

For the A-Side, the duo encapsulate the energy that has made the previous records in the series so memorable, this time by taking the cosmic sounds of a Space Disco favourite and reconstructing it into a punchy, euphoric, electronic symphony.

The B-Side sees the BPM's drop and the concepts become more left-of-centre.
The B1, a cut-up UK Grunge head nodder, features gritty guitars, a sludgy bassline and a pulsating synth lead.
Whilst on the B2, a well-loved Italo essential is reincarnated as a dramatic piece of sequenced bliss..

Musica Altra is a brand new label exploring the underground scene of World Music. Musica Altra's first release is this Ep by the (great) jazz saxophone improviser and experimenter Gianni Denitto, who's been travelling the globe performing and recording sounds in every State he visited. Here is a preview of his upcoming album including a remix by the superb producer and music lover Japan Blues. Close your eyes and let your journey begin.

The "must have" status of Joey Negro's "Remixed With Love" series has been firmly cemented with both DJ and home listening disco lovers since the release of the first two Volumes. Since the last release JN has been working hard on sourcing more disco multitrack tapes and producing new remixes while the ZR team have been equally dedicated to clearing and licensing these new versions.

The enduringly popular Mtume/Lucas produced Phyllis Hyman soul classic "You Know How To Love Me" gets a new makeover that reworks the original elements into a more dramatic version with many peaks and troughs, stretching it out to over 10 minutes. Even for those love the original this new mix gives a favourite song a fresh new perspective and reason to be played again.

Motown Sounds Philly style instrumental "Bad Mouthin" was an underground hit on dance floors in New York, London and Chicago from the late 70's onwards. It was also famously sampled in Bob Sinclar's no 1 "Gym Tonic". The original is a pretty dense, everything in all the way through style production, whereas the JN mix opens things up in a bit with more room for the individual parts to be heard. The end result is an extremely energetic bassline
driven disco cut that works super well on the dancefloor.

Some songs comes along that you seem to know the moment you hear it, even though it's for the first time. In the case of Spark The Universe it had exactly that impact. A mixture of late-60s psychedelic homage, early 80s new wave, white boy soul, plus a good dose of dub, all wrapped around a killer hook and super tight production and a hit was surely made.
The fact there are many deserving records that don't become a hit doesn't mean some are better than others and in fact, the joy in collecting and reissuing is finding amazing songs and bringing them back.
Increasingly heard in the sets of the more discerning DJs, Spark The Universe has become a cult play and with second hand prices now in three figures, a reissue is timely. As the label oft says, no one owns this music other than the writers, musicians and producers and their craft deserves to be appreciated.
Before going on to carve a successful career in 'electronica' project, Euphoria, Toronto's Ken Ramm had shown his considerable writing and playing ability with the 1981 debut LP Dragon and this 1983 follow up, known simply as Ramm.

Coming together through a meeting with a then relatively unknown producer, Daniel Lanois, via a mutual interest in tape loops and dubbing, it was the suggestion to bring in local vocalist Lorraine Segato that Ramm formed.
Recording at Lanois' Grant Avenue Studios, his interest in mixing past and present technology, with multiple digital delay units, harmonizers and other effect processors allowed Ramm and Lanois to explore using the studio as an instrument alongside real musicianship.

Backwards guitars, tremolo bar dives and guitar harmonics are incorporated with the vocals and percussion to perfection. With a 'Dance' and alternative 'Dub', the song's hypnotic and dreamy feel superimposed over beats pin-pointed to the later Euphoria project and with the addition of a latter day 'Discomix', from the labels' own Chuggy, Spark The Universe deserves it's place on contemporary dancefloors.

Fresh off the heels of their blinding EP on Detroit Swindle's Heist Recordings - we're proud to welcome Brame & Hamo to the family!

Contemporary producer E. Myers has self released four limited edition white label 12's since 2015, whilst managing to remain low profile. Whoever they are, we guess they're huge fans of late 1980s Chicago House, Shep Pettibone, Colourbox and most of our reissues. So much that they asked us to re-release their second 12' 'Hate / Love' from 2016 backed with new remix of Hate' made for DarkEntries. Love' kicks off the A-side beats out a wood-cut tattoo of tuff drums rubbed with balloon-squeak synths to sound like Gesloten Cirkel meets Helena Hauff,' said Boomkat. Hate' is a dreamy house number that ultilzes a Roland TR-707 drum machine with a rounded bassline, horns and strings that lift it into the stratosphere. For the new remix of Hate' Myers subtly shifts the pace and deepens the groove, stretching out the song to over 7 minutes of dubbed out New Beat phantasia. All songs have been remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. The 12' is housed in a die cut disco jacket that features an original design by Eloise Leigh.

Second Edits Ep from Mick Wills on Vielspass/Prego with courtesy of Alain Seghir. «The lights» is a New Wave anthemn carried out by one of the most talented and obscure french band of the eighties : Martin Dupont. Deeply romantic «the light goes through my mouth» and «He saw the Light» are enhanced by the Dx7 amazing synths atmospheres, both tracks shaped into Mick Wills stunning club versions. This release is inspired by Natalie Ann's love for Martin Dupont's «The Light Goes Through My Mouth», helped by the magic touch of Isabella Venis associated to Knappy Kaiserknappy for the design / Artwork and thanks to Isolator for the Mastering. Future Classic.Cult, mythical, legendary... these few adjectives qualify well Martin Dupont, the 'electric-new-wave-with-clarinet' trio. They were formed at the dawn of the eighties in Marseille. The mystery that surrounded the group (started with it's name) founded by two girls Catherine Loy who was quickly replaced by the english clarinet/synthesiser player, Beverley Crew, by Brigitte Balian (guitariste/synthesiser) and also by the brilliant bass player (and synthesiser!) Alain Seghir, went on to create the french New Order. It must be said, that the enigmatic album covers of the label Facteurs d'Ambiance, signed Yves Cheynet, played a large part in the aura that surrounded Martin Dupont.
The success was immediate, and after the band members separated in 1989, leaving behind a mini and two fantastique albums, everything was set for Martin Dupont to become a true myth. Their luminous, modest and on edge music was very innovative coming out of the beaten tracks of new wave from back in the day. We can confirm that 30 years later: It has never been equaled. How many musicians today from all borders can talk about their veneration and respect for Martin Dupont It is a whole generation of electro artists (but not only) inspired by the sweet madness of Alain, tempered by the imagination and sensitivity of Brigitte, Catherine and Beverley. And of course all those who visited them in the studio and who were invited to participate in a spirit of openness and freshness, uncommon in this environnement. Repressed, remixed and redistributed in 2017, is only justice as Martin Dupont remains eternal and modern. Listen to it, you will not forget them.'

Strut present the first ever new international studio album by one of the all-time great African big bands. Orchestre Les Mangelepa. Comprising Congolese musicians who settled in Kenya. Les Mangelepa helped drive the East African evolutionary spur of one of the greatest musical art forms, African rumba during the 1970'a.

Whomadewho drummer/producer and electronic-pop stalwart Tomas Barfod arrives on Friends of Friends this November with his third album as a solo artist and his second for the Los Angeles label.

Berlin's resident Electroid funkmeister Vertical67 is the latest release from the Magic Waves label with a 4 track EP of 'Positive Vibes' to get your summer into gear with. Vocodered electro builder 'Clacid' opens proceedings before we're hit with the summery anthemic and futuristic Italo sounds of 'Back In The Groove', while on the flip 'Let's Dance' continues that feeling before we're whisked off 'Into The Night' with the closing track in pure aquatic Detroit styled bliss. Copies are limited and pressed on stunning transparent red vinyl!

A new group strut their way down the Bordello boardwalk. The chameleon outfit of Yellocat, emblazoned with colour, arrive with Dans La Boutique and are true to their debut 12' title. A deep wardrobe of styles has been raided for this four track EP. First comes the latin funk of 'Mi Hermano', a lust laden duet of sweet chords and dancefloor desires, before the lounge romance of 'Tout A` Moi.' Language is played with, Spanish shimmies into French before English takes over the flip. 'Rivals of Mars' is brash interplanetary battle. Synthlines glisten against vocoder lyrics in an epic struggle between our world and theirs. The pop-scented warmth of 'Chasing the Light' leads the 12' out, a ballad of late night excess amidst the glass and steel of the city.

Higher Moment / Amnesia is the follow up to Paradise / In Love An Arc, AMOR's debut 12", which surfaced in May 2017. Culled from the same sessions at Chem 19 and The Green Door in Glasgow, these two tracks elevate the ecstatic, transcendent aesthetic Richard Youngs, Luke Fowler, Michael Francis Duch and Paul Thomson introduced with their previous release. AMOR is collectivism in the servitude to trance, a master class in ensemble playing, an avant-disco one-mind.

The legendary Beppe Loda delivers four Italian cuts to heat up the dance floors!

DJ Support: Andrew Weatherall, Horse Meat Disco, Soul Clap, Psychemagik, Greg Wilson

Die Begegnung zwischen den Produzenten, Musikern und langjährigen Freunden Nicola Conte und Gianluca Petrella bringt uns eine 12" EP mit Einflüssen aus Detroit, Afro Spiritual Jazz und zeitgenössischer Disco-Atmosphäre. Der A-Side Track "African Spirit" ist ein spirituelles Mantra, ein einfacher Dancefloor-Groove, der ein ekstatisches Gefühl erzeugen kann. Der "New World Shuffle" auf der anderen Seite ist auf dem gleichen Element aufgebaut und wird durch die Vocals von Bridgette Amofah ergänzt, was eine tolle Tribal-Stimmung erzeugt.

Initially released in 1984 on legendary Discomagic Records, the first record of Otto Mix (Ottorino Menardi) - Sahara Sand - returns.
Attic Salt Discs brings you an official remastered reissue of this hybrid italo classic. Features George Aaron on vocals and the Visnadi brothers on the keyboard and drum machines.

Respectful edits from NYC's finest JKriv (Razor N Tape)

Limited Edition (300 copies only) 12"inch remastered reissue of the Italo disco classic "Stop Your Lies" from Middle Ages a Studio Project from 1984.

Tropical Jam is a new project from a producer from Ukraine and a collector from Australia, who wanted to share some special pieces with like-minded DJ's. The emphasis is on world music but also with an intention for the dancefloor.

TJE-001 is the first release on Tropical Jam, offering 3 different Edits. The A1 side is a peak time Afro Disco bomb with an infectious vocal. A2 is a mid-tempo Electro Boogie workout. B1 takes us to the Caribbean with a synthy slow burner, on the Reggae / Disco tip.

Before coming back in September for a new year of new releases, LDDLM gives you their current mood and state of affairs in the form of a sampler 12" GRIEVE NOT, BUT TRY AGAIN.
Luke Abbot's mix of EASTER's "Champagne" has been in our drawers since the very early days of the label but still shines as new. No dust gathered. Easter's "synth pop" is turned into a slow, yet nor chugging, futuristic r n'b number. This is our conception of sunrise music.
TOM OF ENGLAND grasps the metallic fury of Mutado Pintado's classic "Lazy boy" and chops it in a grinder. Decomposition / re-composition with of high industrial standard.
A SCENE FROM A FUTURE, a from-a-lost-tape edit by our underbuy MANFREDAS has been one of our biggest club tracks for the last year. Check his recent Boiler Room ending to know how warped yet strangely hit-like it is.
Finally, COWBOY RHYTHMBOX decided of their own accord to do a club edit of GOLDEN BUG's "Physical Disco". We liked it, we release it. Simple and effective. Jugular attack.

E. LIVE really set the tone for STAR CREATURE back in 2015 & now after nearly 2 years, he makes a proper return. His first 2 7" releases have been 2 of the hottest records in the modern funk/disco genre. He works his magic here with a dance floor filler on Side A and the instrumental 'MASTER BLASTER' on the flip.

The Vivien Vee project, an Italian singer discovered and produced by young duo Claudio Simonetti - Giancarlo Meo, has certainly been one of the first and best attempts to impose a clear European-style disco music. The first tracks, as well as the sequels, will be released from the banana records and the real big international success comes in 1983 with this album "with vivien vee", thanks in particular to the 2 strong singles "Higher" and "Blue Disease". This album, produced entirely by Giancarlo Meo, contains, in this rare special edition, 6 tracks in extended original versions, very rare to be found individually. Featuring a sound that is still up to date, it also meets the most demanding palates for the finest style of the best disc, all in one single vinyl: From the powerful and robust funky electronic to "Destiny" and "Wanna Feel" reminding of the best production of Change and Peter Jacques Band, still transmitted by milano international classic, "Gotta Go" in pure Imagination style, to the absolute pearls in "Higher" (cult of disco-disco) and "Blue Disease" explosive electro break synth-pop. Particularly important is that the texts are signed by the great Rossana Casale. Basically a vinyl that is unmissable for any collector or fan of the best Italian productions in the 80's.

One of our favourite records on PPU has just been repressed.
The clip is all the tracks in one file. Sorry for lack of individual clips but trust us as this record is a belter.

Let's face it, summer in New York City is sweltering. Even with all the windows open and fans on high, it is hard to find refuge in Alliance Upholstery's Chinatown offices. Today's sweat though, is due to the Dancer on the Shore' EP, the latest release by the Brooklyn based band, Lemonade (Cascine/True Panther Sounds). Dancer' is a subdued summertime collage of steel drums, buoyant electronic pads and windswept vocals. Joined by Dee Dee from Dum Dum Girls, it is a celebration of the space where humans and nature exist in harmony. Originally released digitally as a single on Cascine in 2015, the band created a DJ friendly extended mix for this release. If you have been to the Air A Dancer' party over the last few seasons, you have likely already heard it (sometimes twice in one night!). If that wasn't enough to pique your interest, the remixes put this one over the top. First, the Jex Opolis (Good Timin'/Running Back) Dub picks it up in his Cutlass Supreme (look at his Kingdom, look at his car) with a full day of activities planned. Top down, wind in your hair, cooler full of ice, spf a million, this is Eddie Grant approved dub at beach. Think California Style in Long Island. After sundown, the Whatever/Whatever (Justin Strauss and Bryan Mette) mix builds a bonfire in the dunes. Hard hitting drums and soaring synths make this mix perfect for dancing all night and howling at the moon. As the night gives way to morning, Jex's vocal remix wipes the sand off your feet, finds your lost t-shirt, and gets you ready for new day.Keep this one in your bag all summer. If you can't make it out to the Rockaways, this is about as close as you can get.

The 8th volume in the Riviera Disco series with Model Man and Kraver from The Netherlands, Iamnotarobot from Spain and Can Love Be Synth from Germany!

WONDER STORIES' head man AIMES drops his 1st 12" of 2017. A 13 min space disco jam with enough oomph for the dancefloor and enough weirdness for the headphones. Italian legend DJ ROCCA slows things down to a drugged out chugger while SF disco champ BEAT BROKER cranks it up into a house groover.

We are very happy to count with Synth Alien for the 7th reference of Clasicos del Ruido. 'Beyond the Alpha Cygni' its just one of those histories that someone could imagine while it's watching the sky. Four cuts of melodic electro, that draw broadly, the map of an intergalactic trip, whose development will be different in any of you.
