"Attack the Dancefloor Vol.15" features four new Joey Negro remixes.
First up is his thunderous rework of the O’Jays boogie classic 'Put Our Heads Together' done from the original multitracks in RWL style.

- The 2020 update of Doug Willis 'Dancin' features rattling percussion
and full live disco sound. Sunkids soulful house staple featuring
Aretha soundalike Chance receives a powerful bassline driven remix.

- Whilst the much sampled 'Everyman' by Double Exposure (as heard i
in Salsoul Nugget) has been give a more up-tempo make over that
emphasises the familiar sections of the instrumentation whilst still
using the full vocal.

Second Edition of Wolframs “Automatic Dub”, the Über Hit originally released in 2018. Wolfi has put some new touches on his dub + we handed the material to Rex The Dog and Cabletoy. Rex got back w/ some high energy trance, while Cabletoy takes a whole other route getting extra balearic. Suitable for all dance floors. P.P. Tipp.

E. Myers returns just in time for the summer, with two heaters of contrasting styles. 'I Am Alive' is a celebration, cooked up from heavy drums, percussion and bass synth, coming together with pads and arpeggiated synths for full blown elation.

'Dreamland' keeps its poker face on throughout it's entire 9 minutes. Threatening to break out but staying cool with its restrained bump, it's equally at home in basements as it is on beaches.

Two Italo and 80´s influenced House-Tracks by Felice and one
Remix by Johannes Albert

long overdue reissue with rock city pioneer Billy Jones.. here's what he had to say about his crew.
...in the early 80's Billy Jones was the lead guitarist for an outstanding group of touring musicians who called themselves 'The Incredible Rock City Band'. They performed on military installations all over the United States for the U.S. Dept. of MWR for more than ten years during the 80's and 90's. ...I'm sure that there are many veterans out there who remember seeing this band at NCO and Officer's clubs back in the day.

Décalé. is a fresh new label based in Biarritz ( France ). Décalé. focuses on reissuing worldwide 'french speaking' music from the 80's / 90's. Travelling into multiple genres : Synth-Pop , West Indies , New Beat , Occitan Folk , Afrobeat , ... and taking taste in weird and obscure records.For it's first release , Décalé. started with one of the most awaited french zouk ( in the ear of the beholder ) albums : Nar'Chiveol - 'Esperance Music Wir'. Originally released in 1988 on a private press in Guadeloupe and the same year on West Indies Records in Paris .'Apocalypse Now Ho' is now a well known banger for diggers and Décalé. wanted to show the whole album that is really surprising by crossing West Indies genres.From disco west indies with 'Séance de Nuit' and 'Spleen Maria' , weird rumba funk with 'Fo Nou Pédalé' to early biguine inspiration with 'Separation KC'. To close this album , ' Apocalypse Now ' and ' Swingue Zouk La ' sounds like a revolution didn't yet happen in carraibean music.

Third EP in a row for the new Conte-Petrella project, which further explores the themes and sounds found on their previous collaborations, "Sun Song/Nigeria" and "African Spirits/New World Shuffle", with it's heavily West African influenced rhythms and cosmic-leaning musicality, once again with the participation of Bridgette Amofah and her incredible voice. A work suspended between joyous straight-up pary jam and spiritual atmospheres, where it's easy to get equally as lost in the driving groove as the intergalactic sound-palette that floats on top of it.

Will DiMaggio joins up with the FT gang to drop a serious slab of bubbling, synthetic, jazzy house on a special one-sided 12"! "Fusion" indeed channels the glorious synth-work of many over-the-top pioneers thru Mr. DiMaggio's skills on the keys, and the track bumps and bops with a nasty, ruff logic for the DJ crew and their dancers. Essential for those who feel that need to close your eyes and play air keys when you hear an absolute beast rip thru the speakers at "the spot". Killer!
another infectious one sided 12 on F.T.....for the deeeeeeejays. TIP!

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!

Mind Fair return with a deadly two-part interpretation of the Joe Jackson classic 'Steppin' Out'. For their latest Rogue Cat Sounds incarnation the Golf Channel mainstays have enlisted the indispensable talents of Charmaine Baines on vocals, Climax Blues Bands' Derek Holt (Bass &Guitar) and Alex Bradbury (Sundown Drive) on keys.

This slowed down, melting pot of Soca not Soca meets Lovers Rock, Reggae, Blues and soul is brought to you in two parts Part one deals mostly with the song, Charmaine's vocals sounding suitably dreamy and laid back whilst part two puts focus on the instrumental groove where the guitars, strings and Rhodes are the main attraction.

Mark E provides one of his Merc Dubs on the flip which takes a Afro rhythm meets beat down central then builds Intensively with Rhodes and a horn section
breakdown to die for the Man is on form!

After their strong debut on Giallo Disco in 2014, the duo from Paris is back with a full length album on Bordello A Parigi. Open the gate of hell!

MISCHIEVOUS URGES EP' is an extract of the same-titled debut album of VELVET KILLS (self-released in digital and released in CD version by our partners in crime UNKNOWN PLEASURES RECORDS). Thanks to their outstanding debut Velvet Kills reached to be on important press windows with their unique blend of synth pop and alternative post-punk. 'MISCHIEVOUS URGES EP' arrives on SPECIAL EDITION presented on 12 EP format and produced in a ONE-OFF truly limited edition of 200 copies lacquered pressed on 180 gr. high quality solid white vinyl. All tracks have been specially mastered and remastered for LONG CUT vinyl by Eric Van Wonterghem.

Label boss "Aimes" returns to his home base with a double track of chugging acid-tinged left-field techno. Both tracks implore multi-dimensional existentialist lyrics combined with cosmic leaning production. A1 is the title track of course, describing an out of this world existential experience. The track is bouncy, fun, and slightly odd, but certainly danceable.

On A2 (which is offered up only on vinyl), Aimes takes the original song and turns it into a club-ready slow-burning stomper with a full on repetitious acidic bassline fit for any sleazy techno set.

The remix on A3 comes courtesy of Sean Johnston aka Hardway Bros (member of A Love from Outer Space with Andrew Weatherall) who turns the original into a dark and brooding version with a punchy bassline and cosmic synths.

Aimes’ second original on the EP "We Are Eternal" is a massive
slowed down acid burner that reiterates the eternalness of humanity. Incredibly psychedelic in nature, the pulsing bass and bubbling acid line is prime for a dark and sweaty rave.

B2 comes courtesy of Panorama Bar resident Massimiliano Pagliara who submits a cosmic, dubbed out flip of the original, taking the listener on an extended spatial journey.

On B3 Japanese producer 'Que Sakamoto' and his production-partner 'NT' ramp up the bpms for a dark disco rendition of the original.

Groovin Recordings proudly presents the long awaited official repress of "Going Back To My Roots" by Lamont Dozier.

ADAM CHINI is most known as the keyboardist for BRIAN ELLIS's REFLECTION BAND. This LP is a spaced out tribute to love in all the right ways. Epic synth & tripped out drum machines with ADAM providing all production & vocals. Intimate, psychedelic boogie classic here for sure. Check it! Out on Chitown’s own STAR CREATURE RECORDS.

Overhauling its own vast legacy, Sony Music announced a reissue of 'Flame' — a hidden gem of early trip-hop music created by the creative genius of Crustation.
Originally released in 1997, 'Flame' was one of the last works that Bristol trio came up with. At the same time, it's also one of their most powerful pieces: the main track, filled with a hazy vocal of Bronagh Slevin, is a twisted love song full of shuffling beats and inner groove. Crustation's approach to production and composition served as an inspiration to quite amazing remixes as well. Borderline Insanity Dub Mix and Mood II Swing Vocal Mix by influential and innovative house classics Mood II Swing are definitely the stand-out acts of the record, which sound as powerful and timeless as they were two decades ago.
The trio of producers known as Crustation were quite connected in the fertile Bristol trip-hop community — they played in bands with Portishead's Adrian Utley during the 1980s, and regularly hung out with Massive Attack and Smith & Mighty. They debuted in 1994 with two EPs for Cup of Tea Records (also the home of Monk & Canatella, Statik Sound System and Purple Penguin), and released their debut album Bloom in 1998.

Ichisan's 2017 Aperitiv was so good that we've decided to return for a second helping from his sumptuous album. Four choice cuts have been selected and reworked with a specific instrument focus. The harpsicord version of 'Hotel' keeps the intoxicating melody of the original but allows beats to relax as notes shine with an incandescent brilliance. Drums put their feet up for the Rhodes version of 'Modri Tunel.' Deep stings and lounging lines mingle in this work of smoke swirling seduction. 'Kozmetika (Trumpet Version)' dances to a different tune. Rich bass is again central but this time brash and bold brass intertwine with funk filled bars. The last waltz arrives with the piano version of 'Terminal E.' Alluring notes ascend, rising and falling against heartwrenching guitar strings for a finale to end this ballroom inspired beauty.

Shaken Palms makes his debut! Indonesia based Midnight Runners bring us a 6 freaky edits EP entitled 'Tagalog' that will hit the dancefloors.
