Samosa Records continues it’s unstoppable runaway juggernaut of a year with the double EP 'Funk Purpose Vol. 2’.

Pulling out all the stops they have brought together a who’s who of the cream of the disco editor roll of honour. Not content with smashing Part 1 out of the park Part 2 is just as dynamic.

Hot Digits boss 'Fingerman' is first off and is in playful mode with ‘Sabu’s Theme’ another track heavy on the groove as a super funky bassline jousts with some great guitar licks. Looped up soul packed vocals soon take centre stage as the track ebbs and flows building drama as it goes. This one is peak time hold your partner tight and tell them you love them dance-floor action.

Another well regarded label boss is Alpaca Edit’s 'Pete Le Freq' who steps into action with ‘Crew Say Dah’. Funky guitars, loose ass-shakin’ percussion and strings a-plenty all lead the way as the keys create an outrageously joyful vibe.

Turning over 'Sleazy McQueen' of Whiskey Disco delivers with 'Ready For Luv' a deep disco bumpin' groover of a house track packed with energetic drums, a real bounce of a bassline and smooth pads. The looped up vocal is a real ear worm moment.

The honour of closing out this brilliant release goes to 'Swifft Edits', a Canadian who currently resides in Japan. His entry to the EP 'Funk Comes Alive' is another stand out track. Brass, power vocals and some great drum programming all come together to light up the peak time. A monster track and a perfect way to close out a wonderful 12”.

A superb double EP through-out as Samosa continue their incredible run of form in 2019. Both 12's are well worth tracking down. (Le Visiteur Online)

Faze Action Records presents the official reissue of three of Micky Milans classic tracks from the early 80's, including the stunning "Quando Tu Danses", orginally recorded in 1980. This hybridAof Disco and Brazilian music, with percussion and infectious piano hooks, has been given a re edit by Pacha resident Willie Graff and is already receiving big support from DJ Harvey at his Pikes residency in Ibiza. This track is now officially available for the first time on one side of a 12".
Micky Milan came to prominence in the early to mid 70s as one of France's first DJ's to support the Funk and Disco sounds from the US. Packing out clubs in Paris and delivering marathon sets til 6 in the morning, Milan quickly earned a reputation as a top DJ in the Paris nightlife scene with touring artists such as Prince, Madonna, Delegation all dropping in to catch him spin.
On B1 we have "C'est Une Bombe", a classic example of French boogie, included here is the Faze Action Edit and on B2 we have the dreamy balearic boogie sounds of "Les Vacances On S'Eclate, On S'Evade".

Madrid disco ambassador and well respected producer and selector Javi Frias is back with a new EP on his own label Night Shift Records including four amazing tracks that will delight disco and house lovers, covering the full spectrum of the editing craft: groovy disco funk and catchy soulful boogie on the A side, raw afro disco and uplifting modern soul on the B side.

Another sure shot release that will burn any dancefloor in the next future.

In quick succession, Tropical Disco return with their tenth outing, a fluid, well sketched out and fiery ensemble of tracks, including newcomers and old friends.

Sartorial opens the carnival in typical class with ‘Warping’, involving titillating vibraphones pairing with a fidgety bass make for a raucous ride. When the brass enters it does indeed feel like the launch of something special, while the beat slams with the immediacy of an anthem. There’s some truly hypnotic moments when the chimes of the vibraphone dip and echo in the mix, masquerading as emphatic allurers of the deep.

Maintaining the enlivened pace, Moodena’s ‘Jammin’ is the brightest cut out of the four. There’s a wooziness to the keys, and a smoky soulfulness to the brass that’s simultaneously deep and rowdy. Vocal chants paired with a transition to Rockstar electric guitar conjure unfathomable energy; it’s an ode to unrestrained, liberal music making and totally nails it.

Simon Kennedy is welcomed back to the fold and back to his old tricks, doing what he does best. ‘Back To Soul’ couples well-chosen soul samples with a beefed up low end and his classic, pumping drums. The vocal is full and lush, enough to make anyone gush on the dancefloor.

Mexican talent and Tropical Disco debutant Hotmood closes the EP off with ‘Everybody’. It’s a shuffle and swing symphony, stitched together effortlessly and with a meaningful groove. A wiggly bass and tribal percussion work are the driving forces, being joined with infectious vocals, synth rises and sparkles. The sound is more akin with 00’s french house than nu-disco – fire!!!

Marcel Vogel's third record on his own Lumberjacks in Hell in a row, 'If You Like' comes in three versions A1 one featuring Brooklyn weirdo-rap veteran Sensational and Alma Negra's Wisdom Of Oz Remix. Juicy Patwchworks Remix of Brown Curls on A2 reminiscent of Roy Ayers perhaps
