The varied and changing music of Noel Williams and his Konduko label are explored further with a second series of EPs, this time expanding out of the late 70s / early 80s disco sound to encompass funk and early electro, highlighting this ground breaking artist's influence from reggae roots to the following Miami Bass sound.

Here Williams steps out of his King Sporty moniker for a series of forward thinking and now highly sought after releases. With Konduko as his vehicle, he again teamed up Bobby Caldwell. Recorded at North Miami's Ovadradial Studios, the lowrider funk is underpinned by Caldwell's arrangement, KC & The Sunshine Band's Robert Johnson (drums) and Eugene Timmons' (sax) wonderful solo.

This is augmented by Moton Inc's Diesel & Jarvis subtle but on point Discomix for extended club play. The incessant looping lifts the song and places it firmly in the long line of edit history, from Gibbons to Terje. Synonymous with the "discoid" sound of 90s London and beyond, the cut and paste skills of Diesel (Ballistic Brothers / Yellow Sox) and Jarvis (Pamela / Love Vinyl) have continued at a higher standard since. Their delicate arrangement and deceptive dubbing act the perfect foil to this special Miami funk machine.

Fabrizio Esposito was born in Naples / Italy into a family of passionate musicians and vinyl collectors. He spent his early childhood immersed in his grandparnent's extensive vinyl collection which he has since inherited, this collection heavily influenced Fabrizio and made him a fan of Italian Wave, Italo Disco, Neapolitan Funk, Soul and Disco. After all these years working in clubs and with artists Fabrizio decided it was time to realise his other dream and become a DJ and producer himself fusing together his rich musical heritage combined with his clear vision for the future, creating his own unique sound. Fabrizio explains that since he was 14 he had always been behind the scenes of parties, from a PR to a promoter, always watching the djs and producers working to create the party around them. Since this time he has always been an obsessive vinyl collector, its in his blood, so now it's time for Fabrizio to share his own passion for music with the world.

Fast forward to summer 2019, Fabrizio made his Ibiza debut DJ'ing alongside DJ Harvey and Pete Gooding at La Torre and soon after Fabrizio finished his debut track 'This Way' which was premiered by Harvey at his now 'Mercury Rising' party at Pikes.

File Under Disco revisit the 2013 Disco classic-in-the-making Make It Hot, one of the biggest tunes released on their 100% original Disco imprint.

The original track showcased the musical talents of NYC maestro JKriv and the wonderful vocal skills of Adeline Michele.
These days Jason is one of the faces behind the Razor-N-Tape label, co-songwriter and bassist with live NYC disco act Escort and the producer behind various big releases on Z Records and Glitterbox.
He really is a contemporary Disco Machine!

On this set of new remixes this fantastic production talent comes head to head with longstanding remixer extraordinaire and studio master Ray Mang.
The man called Mang opts to launch the original into the outer dub-sphere in his trippy and extended High Pressure Dub. This one puts out the disco fires with gasoline!

Meanwhile on the flip, JKriv himself launches a new and raw electronic interpretation that completely reignites the original vocal performance by Adeline into an ecstatic dance floor work out.

Last, but not least, old friends and disco compatriots Pete Herbert and Dicky Trisco deliver an Aperol-infused Balearic House rework of the original, which is the perfect soundtrack for those beach sunsets and summer nights that just refuse to end quietly.

Make it hot!

World-renowned British producer, musician and DJ Will Holland aka Quantic is set to release epic new orchestral-disco track ‘Theme From Selva’. Drenched in lush strings, bright horns, wah wah guitar and an irresistibly solid rhythm section; ‘Theme From Selva’ is a show-stopping entrance worthy of any Soul Train line. The 12”s B-Side features Quantic’s heavy disco cover of Paul McCartney and Wings’ spectacular ‘Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five’ (from their 1973 album ‘Band on the Run’), putting centre stage on the song’s famous pounding piano riffs.

Called a "one man music factory" by Billboard, Will has released over 20 albums under various pseudonyms since 2001; bringing together a deep knowledge and heavy passion for soul, disco, Latin, African, dub, electronic and club based music. Working from Brooklyn for the past six years, and Colombia prior, his sound combines solid musicianship and a progressive attitude with a genuine excitement and sincere respect for sharing influences from around the world.

Selva was built and conceived by Will and his partner Aziza Ali. They conceptualized a recording space and studio with ample natural light, the wooden-furnished grandeur of yesteryear studios, and spacious enough to house Will’s vast collections of vintage recording equipment, instruments and records. Selva also operates as a production facility, where writing, recording, mixing and vinyl mastering takes place daily. Releasing records on Selva, all made in this unique analogue recording environment, was a natural evolution.

The scat vocal samples in Odissi and Ventura are right on the money and give the music that unexpected twist. The EP is produced with excellent technique and many synth layers / percussion. This is essential material for people that play between 116 and 121 beats per minute.

One of the most beautiful things of the 80s for the DJs was the
absolute freedom to invent their own musical genre.
There were no wall or obstacle indeed, the artists can be able to
spaced into more genres , and if they was able to do this the
spotlight are on them.
The people who frequented the clubs at that time were
absolutely willing to any sonority , the strangers sonority
doesn’t scare the public, nay they buzzing with new sounds.
So the Afro genre was born, the only musical genre born in Italy
and exported in the world with multiethnic sounds,
experimentation and research gave the imagination to Djs so
they saw the first percussion and the first samplers in the cabin,
the DJ show was born…
