Following on from Calm’s stunning By Your Side album on Hell Yeah late last year, it is now revisited with a series of special remixes. Part 1 finds the Japanese artist himself revisit one track, while Mind Fair also step up with fresh new versions.

First up, Calm reworks his own ‘Mellow Mellow Sadness’ into Mellow Mellow Acid. It's a super slow burning and soothing remix with a gentle acid line drawn out of tumbling drums. Blissful chords ripple out to the horizon and you can really feel the sun on your face with this one.

Golf Channel and International Feel disco duo Mind Fair step up to flip ‘My Home Town’ into a long legged and gorgeously hazy downtempo disco bomb. The chords shimmer and shine and will have people swaying with their eyes shut and is sure to become a huge track this summer.

This is a fantastic, summer ready package once again from Hell Yeah.

Canada's percussive house label, Breathing Room Records, looks to Japan for its third release. The Foreign Wind EP comes from Tokyo's Kota Motomura, a trained composer who has an ear for unconventional sounds. Previously only releasing a 12" on Kung Foo Records in 2012, Kota has recently lined up a second EP for Edinburgh's Hobbes Music which has already garnered support from the likes of Laurent Garnier, Tim Sweeney and Bill Brewster, to name a few.

As someone who lists such diverse influences as Arthur Russell, Carl Craig and Adriana Calcanhotto, it is no wonder the four tracks on Foreign Wind approach you from a more left-field direction. "Melody" takes influence from a Kenyan instrument called the nyatiti. Alongside an electric guitar and a relaxed groove, this quirky piece will help warm up any dancefloor. "Aqua" combines latin percussion with squelchy analog synths and fluttering keyboard flourishes to transport you southward. The driving rhythm of "Sumire" is meant to make you dance, alongside the rising synth work, it's a strictly peak-time tool. Closing out the EP is "Light & Darkness", a hypnotizing composition full of bird song, mallet percussion and peculiar ambiences that really do help form a contrasting mood.

Nu-Cleo, a new Rhythm of Paradise alias, steps up to the flight deck for the 18th release on Love Notes From Brooklyn with the spell binding, otherwordly wonders of ‘The Outerzone EP’.

With an eye on the cosmos Nu-Cleo take a trip out around the galaxy, heavy on the sweeping synths and intergalactic keys whilst housing drums that appear to bend the laws of physics, tough and tactile, transporting you to other planets. Celestial bleeps and interstellar samples blend with delicate pads throughout the four tracks giving each it’s own unique yet futuristic feel that clearly nods to the likes of UR and Marc Mac. TIP!

The musical manifestation of the warm glow that can only come from hitting the town with your friends, Horse Meat Disco and Amy Douglas have achieved peak nu-disco euphoria with 'Let's Go Dancing'. Backed by all-original and live-recorded instrumentation, Horse Meat Disco's unmistakeable strutting style is unstoppable, while Amy's impressive vocal range captures the energy of an entire nightclub dancefloor. With a little help from their friends Luke Solomon and session musicians on bass, drums, horns and keys, London's nightlife champions have finessed their style, perfectly representing the Glitterbox sound ahead of an album forthcoming on the label in 2019. This very special 12' release is the first taste of the new material, enhanced by a groove-ridden Dimitri From Paris dub and glorious extended remix from the maestro on the flip. Stay tuned for more of the same stomping delights from the Horse Meat Disco boys.

Ancient rites of witchcraft and wisdom are the theme for Red Laser's 2nd release of 2020, with chief sound sorcerer Kid Machine consulting the eight schools of magic to create a spellbound opus of Manctalo mystery.

Across the 8 defined classes: Divination, Abjuration, Enchantment, Necromancy, Illusion, Conjuration, Evocation & Transmutation; Kid Machine renders these archaic energies into reactive musical matter. Much like mages and hierophants have kept centuries-old traditions and processes; the studio wizardry of Kid Machine reflects the various epochs of electronic music preceding it: the wistful yearning of vintage Italo coalescing with the charged energy of Northern English dance music and crafted via a meticulously sourced array of esoteric sound tools.

Side A's 'Magico', schooled in Divination, opens the LP.
A rugged rhythmic synth line nicely tweaked and with tasty clavs it's further expanded with glassy keys and a vocal refrain reminding us of its future-predicting powers.
'Make Me Feel Alright', protecting us with Abjuration, employs both squelchy and staccato synthesizer functions to construct its impenetrable gilded fortress. Banishing its foes to far-away lands with classico leads and a chord progression steeped in Italian nostalgia.
Snappy freestyle beats, galloping arps and searing melodies enchant 'S.D.M', an alchemical hybrid of electro-disco and pulsating EBM that would surely convince plenty, previous, non-compliers to frequent the poppers-drenched dark rooms of Europe's nocturnal underbelly.

Meanwhile, channelling dark necromancy, 'You're Love' closes off disc one with some of the most authentic, Italo-inspired keyboard interchanges and spirit-raising sequences available on the album.
Next come the winds & tides of Illusion and Conjuration. 'NGAFFS's' anthemic licks emanate off the wax. Broken down to 'not giving a flying fuck', it's Kid Machine's most spine-tinglingly epic track to date; uniting all under its Tesla-like harnessing of zero-point energy. Add coital thrust and you find us physically trying to grab the holographic, multi-dimensional synth fractals from the air in front of us upon first listen!

'Muszic' continues with another grandiose Manctalo coup de grace, full of sentiment and yearning.

Inviting Evocation through smokes & strobes, 'Modera' sees amyl nitrates recklessly thrown into the cauldron, tantalizing arpeggios stroking our most erogenous zones with abandon.
Finally, 'The White Hotel', assigned: Transmutation - is a tribute to the infamous nightspot contained within Red Laser's immediate territory, and home for the crew's many spectacular parties.
It's a fitting homage as galloping analogue sequences march over sensual strings and moody chord progressions; evoking that irreplaceable feeling of being surrounded by your favourite homo sapiens in one of the most hedonistic locations on planet Earth.

"Those who don't believe in magic, may never find it...".

A Berlin based collective of music aficionados launch a limited and lovely 7" platform for club-ready flipped classics.

Carving out an enviable reputation across the globe for his distinctive and highly personal brand of House music, Kiko Navarro's voyage of sonic discovery has been going strong for almost three decades now. From London to the Far East, Kiko has travelled far and wide with his music, embracing sounds from each continent as he goes. Kiko's new album, Afroterraneo- also named after his music label- defines the sound of his home. The album incorporates sounds touched by the Mediterranean Sea, drawing influences from Europe, Africa and his roots in the Balearic Islands. Afroterraneo is all about fusion. It includes Afro-Cuban songs like "Okere", "Karabali" and "Ekobio Monina", Midwest-African flavour on "Ihabogi Rawaly" and "Beréde", Flamenco with "La Fatiga", Balearic emotions with maestro Joan Bibiloni on "El Salto Del Martin" and "Vida", South African vibes on "Olwakhuthando", Afro Mbira lines with European TB303 acid blips on "Cacao Ceremony" and it all ends with his own tribute to his mother on "Para Mama". Born on Mallorca, Kiko's sound reflects the sun-drenched, slow living atmosphere of the Balearic island he still calls home. Obsessed from an early age with the more soulful side of US House music, Navarro's DJ skills soon attracted the attention of nightlife behemoth Pacha who offered him club residencies both in Palma and in Ibiza. Next came a monthly gig at Space Ibiza and the rest, as they say, is history. A true Renaissance Man; now also a family man, today's Kiko Navarro is perhaps even more focused and dedicated to his life in music than ever before. An album tour this year will see him play DJ sets in Italy, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Greece, Japan, South Korea, China with many more to be confirmed. Whether in the studio crafting records or in the club controlling the dance-floor, Kiko's musical mission has become the habit of a lifetime.

Candido Cameron was a Cuban percussion maestro who had played with luminaries such as Dizzy Gillespie, Buddy Rich and Count Basie throughout his illustrious musical career which started in 1952. Fast forward to 1979 and Candido finds himself caught up in the Disco boom that had engulfed his adopted New York City. Feeling he could add his trademark quick-fire Conga and Bongo playing to Disco's straight 4 x 4 syncopated rhythm he cut some records with legendary NYC label Salsoul. The fruits of this partnership were 2 full length LP's and a handful of 12" singles that changed the face of underground Disco."Jingo" is an all-time classic dance record, sampled, edited, re-configured and coveted by too many names to mention! It's a killer funky Disco version of master Nigerian drummer Olatunji's 1969 percussion suite of the same name, Salsoul style, while over on the flip we have one of the deepest Disco records of all time; "Thousand Finger Man" a testament to Candido's percussion prowess and a spacey, beautiful voyage that has left more than an indelible mark on modern House music, often being cited as a huge influence by artists such as Masters At Work and more. Essential stuff basically, every collection should have a copy!

This 12" has got to be one of the toughest Salsoul records to find. Changing hands for up to £300 a time for a used copy. Now it has been re-mastered, re-pressed and made available again with all original label artwork intact with the permission of Salsoul Records, New York City.

Mark Picchiotti’s ‘Pump The Boogie’, originally released in 1998 under his Fondue moniker, is revived for 2020 dancefloors with a brand new 12” remix package on Glitterbox. Picchiotti, a Chicago native, has had an impressive career that has seen twenty five #1s on the Billboard Dance chart and a nomination as one of the Top 40 remixers of all time. Opening with Brooklyn boy and Razor-N-Tape founder JKriv’s remix, a red-hot groovy interpretation, spicing up the track with retro keys that bring the funk, followed by his Accapella. On the flip Picchiotti’s new Re-Pumped Mix of ‘Pump The Boogie’ keeps the groove ever-lasting with its infectious bassline and undeniable, jam packed, musical hook. Closing out the release Seamus Haji delivers his club-ready remix, with expertly-executed drops sure to get a hands-in-the-air reaction. With a package as sublime as this, there is no doubt it will be lighting up Glitterbox dancefloors and beyond.

In the previous reissues we talked so much about this fantastic piece and "Marie", a very cinematic and supportive song, that now it is appropriate to dwell on the re-visited version of Danilo Braca that extends beautifully on the AA side of this new remastered reprint. Danilo who lives in the big apple often frequents Ibiza, perhaps also for this he has been able to exalt the most rhythmic elements of "Shadows from Nowhere", putting the beautiful falsetto beats to excessive movements, just like the waves that wash themselves on the sandy beaches of the White Island. His teacher Mario Gentili from Layer Bows added a beautiful arrangement for the strings and his Italian-New York collaborator Alvise Marino spread some fragments of guitar powder on top. That's it. 9 minutes of pure bliss, but also of catchy rhythm!

'Mr Raoul K' und 'Manoo' präsentieren mit zwei Versionen von „Bara“ hoch-energetischen Afro House, der bereits in Sets von Größen wie Hyenah, Pablo Fierro, Musumeci, etc., zu hören ist. Auf der B-Seite der LP befindet ein warmer, organischer, aber sehr treibender „O Mera Dil“-Remix von Auztin Pauers & Ezrael, sowie ein wundervoll deeper „African Paradigm“ Remix von Kuniyuki.
