The fourth single from Okinawa Delays (singer Satoko Ishimine and Okinawa-based producer Mizuki) is I Can't Sleep, a collaboration with Tokyo-based Balearic evangelist Max Essa.

This is a Balearic disco tune with a bassline reminiscent of the 80's electro-disco of Klein and M.B.O. and Gino Soccio, and a Japanese monologue that sounds like a daydream.

The Japanese monologue, penned by producer Mizuki himself, was inspired by his stay in Ibiza, and is an insomniac, daydream-like monologue of a girl after she returns from a party. (There is an English translation on the back of the vinyl sleeve.)

As always, her voice is great, but it's also interesting that the content is far from her innocent image.

The single features an original mix for the midnight dance floor as well as a dub version by Balearic master Leo Mas and a remix by Pete Herbert, perfect for the beach club or poolside.

Band looks for brighter days as Sunstreet' - was the headline from a 1980 Delaware newspaper archive that finally helped Rain&Shine connect the dots and between Minnesota band 'Haze' and Sunstreet. Lovin was recorded while the band (a subset of original Haze members, including the tight horns section and lead singer Sonny Knight, RIP) were signed to Bear Records in Delaware. Their contract required them to shelve their already recorded (and incredible) 2nd album Haze album. 40 years later, officially licensed, re-mastered and cut @ 45RPM Rain&Shine give Sunstreet's 'Lovin' another lease of life. 'Lovin' was included on Paul Phillips' 'Under The Influence' compilation on Z records, alongside being a favourite of Waxist.

Fine is back with some summer tunes for your soul

Day one is the first Asierhans’s EP, which consist in bunch of ideas collected during the last year, formed by 2 club-ready tunes inspired in a sound between House and Techno as well as sounds from Nu Disco, Balearic/Ambient in other tracks as Seville or Aderall. This is also the first reference of Noreple, a London/Madrid based label.

London loft party and label The Disco Express drop their long awaited, inaugural vinyl EP with four heavyweight belters courtesy of label boss Bustin' Loose.

Getting the EP underway are two tropical, Afro-Disco influenced hits. Punchy and oozing in exotic flavours ‘M&H’ boasts galloping percussion, infectious vocals and ludicrously funky sax solos. A sure-fire, feel good, disco heater. Following suit is ‘Calypso Disco’ a sun kissed, daytime groover boasting a synth line so funky, it is irresistible to dance.

Flip it over for two soulful disco / house chuggers. First up is ‘Best of You’, a peak-time disco bomb jam-packed with anthemic trumpet loops and silky vocals. Building up to its explosive finale, this uplifting club powerhouse is ready-make to get you grooving. Bringing the EP to the fore is ‘Philadelphia Champagne Delivery’ an absolute firecracker, exuding in booming low end vibrations, gloriously shimmering strings and a shredding guitar solo to perfectly seal together the Disco Connection EP.

Luke Sanger aka Duke Slammer has been a busy boy lately, from regular appearances at Berlin's infamous Panorama Bar, to composing game soundtracks for Ubisoft. In this installment Luke dons his Slammer hat for a holiday inspired selection aimed at the dance floor.Pack The Picnic: Box Jams' takes inspiration from the vast Norfolk sky and coastline. Slammer takes to his hardware to jam out a strain of melodic techno that bear resemblance to acts like DMX Krew and Larry Heard.

RNT takes a trip south with some fresh modern takes on a pair of Colombian tropicalia classics from the 1970s! Sisters Elia and Elizabeth Fleta recorded some of the most beloved rare groove from Baranquilla’s early-70s period, and when Jaime Tuiran (Vagabundo Club Social) brought the project to label owners Aaron Dae and JKriv, they jumped at the opportunity to work with such rarefied source material.

On the A side, the mysterious newcomer producer Demi Riquisimo crafts a synth-laden tropical opus of a remix of Elia y Elizabeth’s signature hit 'Alegria' and the ever solid Parisian Yuksek works the tune into a concise and mid tempo disco stomper.

On the flip, Bostonian-come-Colombian BOSQ turns 'Soy Una Nube' into an uptempo soul banger, and Baranquilla natives Vagabundo Club Social lend their homegrown organic and clubby style to their mix of 'Alegria' The perfect blend of earthy OG soul with modern and musical production, this record is as colorful and vibrant as the streets of Baranquilla during Carnaval. And RNT is throwing in a 7Inch with solid new masters of the original songs on heavyweight wax, to boot!

Another fine slab of that Disco goodness from the mighty Kojak stable. Toronto party machines & re-edit maestros The Patchouli Brothers step up to the plate this time with 2 monstrous sides of peak-time Disco heat.

Say no more. Essential wax for the discerning mirror ball fiend right here. Limited, as always. Do it!

Fresh from collaborating with broken beat rising star EVM128 on the latter’s superb “Input 128” album, Turbojazz lands on Boogie Café with an inspired label debut that’s every bit as soulful, jazzy and musically rich as you’d expect.

Thanks to a string of rock solid releases on G.A.M.M, Local Talk and Sampling As An Art Records, the Milanese producer has earned a reputation for creating rich, soul-fired dancefloor workouts that variously join the dots between deep house, US garage, jazz-funk and broken beat.

This trademark style naturally comes to the fore on the Italian’s first Boogie Café outing, which boasts both club-focused broken beat workouts and smooth, peak-time ready house excursions.

Leading from the front is title track “In Search”, a punchy and loose-limbed broken beat roller that layers spacey jazz-funk synths and opulent Rhodes riffs atop raw analogue bass and the kind of infectious “bruk-up” drums that were once the preserve of West London legends Bugz In The Attic. The track’s inherently soulful elements – particularly the Rhodes riffs and jazz-wise bassline – are re-appropriated by Javontte on his superb accompanying remix. The veteran producer retains the toasty jazziness of Turbojazz’s original version while re-framing the cut as a bumpin’, bass-heavy deep house cut with oodles of intergalactic charm.

The EP’s other moments are pure Turbojazz. “Voices” is another ambidextrous, starry-eyed slab of broken beat, this time from the jazzier end of the musical spectrum. Snaking sax lines, Herbie Hancock style space synths and rush-inducing chord sequences come to the fore throughout, triumphantly rising above another crunchy rhythm and headline-grabbing bassline.

Turbojazz doesn’t need to reiterate his deep house credentials, but does so anyway via the tasty organ stabs, starry-eyed electronics, acid-style bass and atmosphere-enhancing aural textures of “Yellow”, a classic-sounding instrumental club cut that would sit just as easily on Local Talk as it does on Boogie Café.

Seven Swiss artists & collectives sharing the same passion for music came together for a unique collaboration. The result is a sequence that evolves through rhythm and each contributor‘s colour of sound. Artists involved: Melodiesinfonie, Jack Pattern, Lexx, Look Like, Alma Negra, Manuel Fischer, Les Points.

If you draw a map of electronic music today, you will come to realise that Switzerland still represents a blind spot for many people. Even if you see from the inside the many talented artists romping about in such a small space, you have to admit that interest from the outside is virtually non-existent. Therefore there is only one way: Teamwork! The MEGAMIX is a statement for it.

As head of Italian (centric) Slow Motion label (and international artist sister imprint, Wrong Era), and through his own productions and remixes, Franz Scala has been pioneering the retro-futuristic aesthetic of club culture weaving together elements of proto-house, wave and Italo for the nuovo contemporary dancefloor long before it’s current vogue. Now alongside Bordello A Parigi, and supported by Sameheads, Slow Motion presents Scala’s Mondo Della Notte.

This is part 2 of the album, which is also available as 2LP bundle.

Mushrooming into Red Laser Corp's continuing & stringent program of providing the best modern Manctalo (TM) and related flavours, Luca Dell'Orso follows up his taster session on Red Laser EP9 (RL28) with a fully realised solo EP.

Based in Holland and obviously taking in the might of European dance influences that surround him, 'A New Paradigm' spawns a new natural genome, between Italo disco, Belgium new beat and our own, homegrown synth jizz that we've championed from the start. In short, rickety old drum boxes jostle with that favoured analogue machinery that powers all the big bombs from our infamous discotheque!

Hammered to death off Pharaoh Brunson's battered stix, the tracks here were snowballing on dancefloors so much before lockdown, the .wav was actually starting to see some binary wear and tear, so we chivvied along the pressing plants to get it on wax pronto; and despite much of our beloved industry suffering setbacks and turmoil at the moment, we've managed to beam it down to your decks just in the nick of time. Get in!

A wild obsession with big gated drums, jagged arps and darkly vocodered vox characterizes the EP; with moods veering from all-out, popper-huffing nihilism into star-gazing wanderlust with spontaneous combustions of nearby neutron stars thrown in for good measure.
Four tracks that epitomise our label's musical agenda: rugged and rumbly, charged and electric. Kinetic and mad functional, nocturnal body music with a head full of nitrates and a coital throb down under.
It should find perfect habitat at any late nite dance n drug den once we're allowed to get up close, sweaty and start reaching for the red lasers again...

Sometimes, what seems “to be” ... isn’t. And what “was” actually wasn’t. What’s "in" is sometimes out. And what was thought to be "north" is sometimes south.Similarly, up until now, there just wasn’t enough ... of TOO MUCH.
That’s how its been, ever since dynamic-duo TOO MUCH — Rich Morel & Ian Svenonius – let the world listen in on their once-in-a-millenia electro-beat gobstopper “PATENT LEATHER” (MERGE RECORDS); the monster hit which defined dance floors since its release in 2019.
“PATENT LEATHER” a bewitching blend of lechery and love, was tattooed on the brain of every loitering lothario in every night-club, roadhouse, and streetlight latrine in both the free and not-so-free worlds.It was so incessant; it shook houses down, burned parliament, and crashed the stock market. Dancers everywhere pleaded for more.
TOO MUCH have finally relented and deigned to give the heaving, begging, prostrate mass a new mess of motor-robot rhythm rockers. Yes, that's correct. TOO MUCH have a full length record and they call it ... “CLUB EMOTION.”
CLUB EMOTION is nine songs of pure ecstacy perfectly suited for the club, the car or the closet.Its a pure joy to listen to in one’s bedroom or at the beach. On a stroll, at a drive-thru, or while careening through the astral-plane, looking for a ro- mantic rendezvous.
