Los Angeleno and all around swell guy Dino Soccio has been building his rep as a premier selector and editor with his own Pleasure of Love edits series, and now joins the RNT ranks with an EP of rarified rework gold.

The record kicks off with the meteoric energy of 'Star Beaming', a rolling interstellar disco stomper, then lays back with the low-slung 'Fred’s Groove' and jazzy balearic groove of 'Laid Back', finishing off with the bouncey early-'80s boogie feel of 'Forgot'. All dusty digger’s delights, simonized and edited to perfection for maximum vibes!

We know you could have done it as well - but you didn’t. Two chopped and pumpin’ edits that without a doubt fit the club and your record bag! Heat it up with Back 2 Rhythm + the 2020 Flex of 2010 and let the Bonus Flex take care of the rest.

Highlights from the LP include the adored Glitterbox anthems ‘Let’s Go Dancing’ and ‘Falling Deep In Love’, the laid-back disco jam ‘Message To The People’, collaboration with The Phenomenal Handclap Band ‘Sanctuary’ and the irresistibly soulful ‘Home’ featuring Atlanta songstress HadiyaGeorge. Love & Dancing is an album to get lost in, flawlessly arranged,produced and curated from start to finish.

Black Pearl Records is very proud to present the very timeless
and diverse club-music album "Alles Paletti!", by the
internationally recognised and well respected DJ & Producer
Enzo Elia. "Alles Paletti!" will take you on a musical journey
through the 80s & 90s club music era and it´s genre clash of
Disco, New Wave, Electro, Dub, Balearic, Cosmic, Loft Classics
to the early years of House productions, that again merges
perfectly into the "Zeitgeist" of today. Growing up as a
teenager and a music interested mind at those decades in
Italy, of course Mr. Baldelli & Co. has left a permanent
impression, and the "Cosmic" influence of this unique club
scenery is easy to recognize in Elia´s music. Bringing all these
influences and experiences of Enzo Elia together, melted into
one piece of vinyl, is the perfect time-capsule that captures the
essence of those influential early years onto this album. The
title "Alles Paletti!" resumes out of a typical Berlin phrase,
shows the Berlin-Italian connection, and the city of choice for
Enzo Elia to live for the last 12 years. The whole album was
realised in a very playful time period of about one year,
creating new ideas from scratch or build on Elia´s skteches
together with the producer Roskow Kretschmann in his studio,
preppered with quite a few guest insturmentalists and
vocalists. Since beeing a youngster Enzo Elia is spinning
tracks and delighting audiences in small clubs to big festivals,
releasing music on several reputable labels from mellow-sundown-balearics to hard-hitting-techno, that made him the
international respected DJ and Producer he is today.

Remastered & Remixed versions of the ‘Quare Groove’ classic first released on the group's own Feral Records imprint in Ireland in 1985.

This is the full vocal version sung by Denise Keogh. As well as this extended club mix of the original, the set feature three other versions. All are reimagined by Morgan Buckley (Wah Wah Wino / No 'Label') using source stems from the original 1985 master lacquer and multitrack tapes courtesy of Windmill Lane Studios.

Official Reissue on 7" of the as rare as sought after Electro Funk/Boogie 1984 release by Penguin Feet The Teardrop Kid.

In recent years disco has made a huge comeback as a genre ranging from the output of classic artists like Donna Summer to obscure gems released across the world from America to Africa.

Hey Disco! was originally recorded and pressed up on 1979 for Josef Weinbergers Programme Music imprint that made contemporary music available for use on radio, film and TV. This cracking collection of disco dance grooves was pressed in a limited run and was not commercially available. All of the tracks were written by Trevor Bastow and performed by a crack unit of top session musicians. Unlike many library albums Hey Disco! had a cohesive feel from beginning to end.

The music on Hey Disco! was only known to specialist library collectors and disco lovers but began to attract interest when the sleeve was featured in the expanded reprint of Jonny Trunk’s 2005 The Music Library book in 2016. In the same year the Big Deal! Weinberger Funk Library 1975-1979 collection featured two tracks - Integration and Hydrogene – from Hey Disco! Integration was an amazing electronic instrumental that had echoes of the sequenced heaven of Donna Summer’s I Feel Love and Hydrogene was an infectious beat driven piece of music. Listeners raved about the tracks and wanted more.

As Hey Disco! was not available digitally, interest amongst disco fans and library collectors who wanted to hear the entire album remained unsatisfied - unless you could get your hands on a rare original copy of the LP. Like, many long established and well run music libraries Josef Weinberger is still thriving today – as JW Media – so Ian Shirley of OM Swagger was able to licence the album for reissue directly from them.
The tracks were re-mastered from the original tapes by Tim Debney at Fluid Mastering who, as always, has done an amazing job.

Bastow’s original compositions on Hey Disco! have a wonderful flow on both sides of the LP. Tracks like Final Destination, Sunset West, Count Off, Sidewalk and Disco Hoedown are as funky as hell and it is a pleasure to allow fans of library and disco music to be get their hands on this lost gem penned by Bastow who sadly went to the big disco in the sky in 2000 at the age of 55.

Hey Disco! Is available on a 180-gram vinyl pressing that exactly replicates the rare Programme Music release from 1979. It is also available on CD, with the latter release featuring full liner notes and unseen photographs.

BLACK BONES once again making full use of their quarrying skills, with another fine excavation...

Not a cm of precious vinyl wasted as we get another indispensable 4-tracker turning up Bayou Funk, 80's Spanish pop, a classic mid-80's UK hit (that was bigger in Chicago's burgeoning House scene than it was in Soho), and winding up with a wonderfully sordid slab of early 90's Weatherall channeling psychedelia...

Limited, hand-stamped vinyl 12"

One of the UK’s most exciting producers and the man responsible for one of Circus Recordings biggest records ‘Switch’, Jansons, takes the reigns in style for Revival New York’s first release.

With the insatiable appetite for his Lovehrtz EPs, alongside Richy Ahmed, causing sell outs as soon as they’re dropped, Jansons brings his bumping, tech house style to Revival. Exquisitely looping up vocal samples, swirling guitar riffs and sweeping strings in ‘Heartbreaker’, Jansons creates a blissful, slice of ecstasy that will be sure to melt more than a few hearts, minds, and souls.

The vinyl only ‘Alternative Mix’ takes things deeper, chopping and filtering the vocal snippets with a nod to early 2000’s house whilst letting that rapturous bass line take centre stage.
