Mike Dunn digs deeper into the vaults to deliver the next instalment of his 'We R Tuesday Nights' edits, with four killer disco tracks edited to perfection by the Phreaky MF...

Diggin' Disco Deep" is a new, deep-disco orientated offshoot of the successful "Editor's Kutz" label. The target is locked and it's no other than the dusty but not forgotten vinyl chests.
The record begins with "Sleazy McQueen & Romano Arcaini" who collaborate to give new life to a trusted classic.

A central groove is created a new from the looped strings of the bridge creating palpable tension through repetition. "Moments With U" will have you upside down and turn you round and round. Next comes the "Editor's Kutz" captain "VinylAddicted", whose inspiration is based upon a track since 1977.

VA totally reconstructs the original by keeping a repetitive piano loop going and going, while fresh kits, chords and a massive bassline give floor all the warmth that is needed. A male vocal loop and effects bridge the parts and ride the rhythm, until a healing piano and guitar break in the middle of the track offers you some breathing before the hypnotic groove strikes back!

Flipside hosts "SMQ" who returns to his disco-house roots. "Diggin' Disco Deep Theme" has filters, stabs, strings and juicy groove leading the way on this uptempo, beat driven reconstruction. Pompous!

Served on a hand-numbered and vinyl exclusive pressing. Be the one of 300!!!

Z Records acclaimed Attack The Dancefloor Series rolls up to it’s 16th edition and this one, like all those before it, does not disappoint.

First up Akabu feat. Linda Clifford - Ride The Storm, a track that originally charted at no. 64 in the UK, was a house classic thanks to Linda Clifford’s sublime vocals and Joey Negro’s pounding house production. Fast forward to 2020 and best-selling deep house duo Saison give this classic a storming new rework. Warm chords, intricate drums and Linda's evocative soulful vocals are blended to masterful effect with the intricacy and sophistication of their production shining on every aspect.

The Love Symphony Orchestra’s pacy, jazz funk flavoured disco cut ‘Let Me Be Your Fantasy’ was originally released in 1978 in a saucily packaged tie in with Penthouse Magazine. Dr Packer gets busy in the editing suite as he plumps up the bass and beefs up the drums to compliment the string arrangement and crisp percussion of the original.

Certified disco slammer ‘Every Day’ from Joey Negro presents The Sunburst Band was a massive track on the UK soul scene. Joey gives it a signature Disco Re-Bump Remix for that perfect summer anthem. Finally, Ludovic Llorca steps up with his more edgy and electronic project Art Of Tones, which focuses on house and disco sounds featuring the soulful vocal talent of Anduze over a funky slap bass and plenty of dubbed out guitar.

Repress off this collection of edits from 2006.
All essentials for the pub rotary deejay sets but also a great collection of tracks to have on one 12"
Features an edit of Nice N' Wild's latin freestyle heater Diamond Girl.

Amazing debut for Jungle Fantasy Records, very interesting label proposing the excellent Rare Funk in Re-Edits key.
The first evident rhythmic element is a sample of "Do it 'Til you're Satisfied" by B.T. Express, while synth and vocal
develop "Curtis Forever" that we find on the A side. "Soul Echo" complete the 7"inch maintaining a classic Black
downtempo feeling. Go to dancefloor!!!

Sorceror's 'Dream Season' defines the Dreamtime sound even further with it's journeys through psyched out space surf sounds with disco grooves.5 tracks dreamed from a moody moment in time and space, to the tape head in the Berkley Arena in San Francisco.

The Cruising’s two cool customers, Yula Vovk and Sergei Demidov, make a remarkable return to Whiskey Pickle, and this time around on the label’s vinyl department. Even as Russians their original tune “Dispassion” has an NYC underground retro-futurism. Their blues vocal sampler, impressive bassline, and impeccable drum programming conjure an Arthur Russell guitar fascination and a cosmic disco weirdo Balearic rhythm exploration.

Malinovsky’s version is centered on a dusty deeper affair. The result is a soft percussive, melancholic remix with a darker synth-scape and intensely psychedelic Eastern echoes.

Rune Lindbæk’s talent and versatility completes the space between duets undefined DIY disco and house's general spectrum. His mix is a mesmerizing Balearic house reflection of the original. The Phil Harding-wise rhythm supported by an atmospheric trumpet and original's strings escapism.

“Soul is My Salvation is a collection of dance friendly gospel songs. The mission is to simply uplift your spirit through music and word. Dance floor’s around the world mirror the reactions of Churches from the 70’s and 80’s when experiencing these recordings.” - Tone B. Nimble.

Released as a series of eight limited vinyl-only 45, when assembled together the covers reveal a beautiful design courtesy of designer Charlotte McCrae. A true collectors item.

Chapter 5 includes an essential cut from Fay Hill’s tough to find ‘This Is A Blessing’ LP, officially licensed from the WFL record label’s family trust. Backed with Peaches Mann (RIP)’s under the radar ‘Get In Rhythm With God’s Love’. Groovy.

Played by: Tone B. Nimble, Greg Belson, Skymark, Darryn Jones

While the ongoing global pandemic means our chances to gather and dance beneath deep blue skies are likely to be limited, there’s never been a greater need for warm, positive and life-affirming music. NuNorthern Soul has decided to do its bit by offering up a brand new 'Summer Selections' sampler that’s packed to the rafters with magical musical treats lifted from some of the label’s most potent forthcoming releases.

The EP begins with something rather special from Canadian producer Igor B: a gentle, sunrise-ready soundscape rich in languid hand percussion, bubbly synthesizer lines and glistening guitars. Entitled 'Deep Breath', the track is just one of the many highlights you’ll find on his forthcoming debut album, “Stranded Seaside”.

There’s a similarly tactile and immersive feel to 'Early Morning Ferry' by George Koutalieris, a Greek producer whose debut album 'Stop, Look, Listen' will be released by NuNorthern Soul later in the year. On his contribution to 'Summer Selections Two', Koutalieris wraps lilting, sun-soaked guitar solos and soft-touch electronics around a chunky groove that doffs a cap to the more laidback end of the 1970s West Coast rock spectrum.

Next up, long-time friend of the family Chris Coco delivers a stunning interpretation of 'Dinum', an overlooked neo-classical/ambient fusion track by Faroe Islands-based producer Kristian Blak’s Yggdrasil project. Coco’s simmering, string-drenched re-imagining is featured here as a teaser of NuNorthern Soul’s reissue of the 2014 track in the autumn, which will also feature a mind-blowing 10-minute rework by Mike Salta – an artist who is also featured on 'Summer Selections Two'.

This time round you’ll find Salta collaborating with Mortale on the starry, EP-ending ambient bliss of 'Bells of Burgibba', a deliciously drowsy mixture of twinkling electric piano motifs, chiming lead lines and woozy pads taken from the forthcoming “Celestial Hike EP”. It paddles in similar sonic waters to label boss Phil Cooper’s stretched-out, slo-mo Balearic dub of new signing Faint Waves’ 'Aphrodesia', a teaser of the artist’s “Islands In Time EP” which can be found elsewhere on 'Summer Selections Two'.

No NuNorthern Soul label sampler would be complete without a contribution from BJ Smith, an artist who has been with the imprint from its earliest days. Smith returns to the imprint with another reminder of his uncanny ability to deliver ear-catching cover versions that re-cast classic cuts as loved-up rays of Balearic sunshine. This time round Smith takes us on a huggable shuffle through Prefab Sprout’s 'All the World Loves Lovers', re-imagining it as a future Balearic anthem and a summer 2020 sing-along. It’s not only a sneak peak of what we can expect from 'Dedication to the Greats Volume 3', his first covers collection for nigh on six years, but also a life-affirming highlight of an EP that oozes musical positivity from start to finish.

Volume 3 from the hugely popular Tropical Disco camp... 4 killer disco gems lovingly tweaked, treated & re-grooved, all carefully constructed for discerning dancers to devour!

Another slamming post-Disco number from the early 80's lifted from the legendary SAM Records vaults. "This Beat Is Mine" has always been a "big" one, a Boogie classic (featured in Sean P's indispensable "Boogie Essentials list) and a sure fire party starter on any self respecting dance-floor! Produced by Gary R. Turnier (Of Gary's Gang fame) and Andre Booth (Of Northend, B.B.C.S. & A fame) the FUNK is definitely a factor on this cut! As if the original 1981 cut wasn't dope enough, Boston mixtape, digging and edits king Kon (of Kon & Amir, On track) got his hands on the reels and turned in a storming, respectful reworking for all you DJ's out there who want that extra "bomb" factor in the booth! As usual with Kon's edits this one packs a serious punch and this limited 12" repress is a bonafide essential to have in your bag! Don't snooze on this classic, Now made available again, legitimately licensed, remastered and reissued in conjunction with SAM Records New York City.

In step with the change in season, this next offering from Just What The World Needs... will have your hands in the air with 4 cuts that touch on every level of heat! Certified dancefloor killers of the highest caliber from one of THEE best to do it..
