epress of the Killer Italo Disco Funk Holy Grail released on 45rpm single in 1979; now available in 12' includes previously unreleased instrumental versions and two alternative versions of "Samedi Soir" by PATRICIA & TOP SECRET and OLGA MELCHIONDA.

All tracks are from ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES.

"Samedi Soir" is full of funky tropical percussion and basslines, dramatic disco strings, cosmic synthesizers and infectious piano with seductive male and female vocals sung in French over a very catchy wha-wha and P&P disco funk popping rhythm. "Sexy Banana' is a superb crazy euro disco groovy track with rhythms in a jungle groove and funky percussion breaks; vocals also sung in French.

Whiskey Disco #50 marks the return of label head, Sleazy McQueen in an homage to the disco dads and daddies.
5 tracks meticulously tuned ranging from deep house to peak time, heartfelt disco before softly lulling you to sleep with a sweet cover of Lost In Music in a lullaby style.

Strut present a new repress of the influential first volume of 'Disco Not Disco' compiled by Joey Negro and Sean P as part of the label's 20th Anniversary.
'Disco Not Disco' was a perfectly timed compilation back in 2000. Released when interest in the myths, history and playlists of original New York clubs like Paradise Garage and The Loft was at its peak, the album drew on the outer limits of leftfield disco championed by Levan and Mancuso, bringing together unlikely dancefloor anthems by rock acts like Yoko Ono and Ian Dury, obscurities from cottage labels like BC and Splash and selected oddities from the unique mind of avant-garde hero, Arthur Russell.
It was essentially a celebration of the sonic melting pot in New York during the early '80s, an era when punk had burnt itself out and disco had become commercial and saccharine; in its place, the post-punk movement threw up brilliant oddities which tore up the accepted rulebook.
The album features full original artwork and Kris Needs' sleeve notes and is remastered and cut by The Carvery.

Club, Open Air & Ibiza Essential! Hit on the A side, vinyl on the B side!

With MEL011, it is Melodies International's immense pleasure to direct their focus towards both Soul and House royalty, selecting and reissuing two of Frankie Knuckles' scarcer remixes of an all-time classic: Womack & Womack - MPB (Missin' Persons Bureau). Now known as Zekkariyas and Zeriiya, partners Cecil and Linda Womack, two eminent members in an extensive lineage of music artistry (i.e. Bobby Womack was Zekkariyas' brother, Zeriiya is Sam Cooke's daughter) engaged in one of music history's most successful and exciting singing and song writing partnerships in the early 1980s. Zeriiya says her process with Zekkariyas flowed like water, their shared complicity and talent led them to write and produce strings of chart topping hits and classic albums as Womack & Womack but also for other renowned artists of the time such as Patti Labelle, Teddy Pendergrass and the O'Jays to only name a few. The original version of Missin' Persons Bureau was first released in 1988 on 'Conscience' (Island Records), a classic album with impeccable instrumentation and thoughtful and relatable narratives that reflect on the nature of life, true friendship, love or in the case of MPB, it's subsequent loss. Following the release of the LP, Island records founder Chris Blackwell introduced the idea of getting Missin' Persons Bureau reworked by House legend Frankie Knuckles and whilst the Womacks weren't originally set on the idea of having their songs remixed by other artists, Blackwell, who Zeriiya describes as a 'record label manager seriously involved in making sure the project is what the creators really want it to be", had earned their trust. With these remixes, Frankie managed to turn a radio hit into underground club classics. The Paradise Ballroom mix conserves the essence of the original, reinterpreting the rhythm section whilst drawing it out over 8 minutes, with expert tension building and release clearly aimed at the dance floor.

Singer, songwriter, composer and multi-instrumentalist, Desmond Coke's supremely rare, privately pressed, lo-fi, synth-soul fusion, Let's Chase The Sun is represented here in edited form. Painstakingly remastered from the original tapes, this self taught pianist, drummer and sax player condensed his musical experiences and dreams in to an opus on love and togetherness.

Desmond Coke alias 'Fatfingers' - named by fellow musicians due to improvisation and interpretation skills - began playing keyboards by ear at 15 and went on to a music career playing with the likes of Alton Ellis, Prince Fari, Barrington Levy, Dillinger, Don Cherry and Shara Nelson, as well as a gamut of the On-U Sound label's projects, including Creation Rebel, Dub Syndicate, Singers & Players and Mark Stewart + Maffia.

With an interest in reggae, dub, jazz, soul, meringue, gospel and garage, his sole album was a true fusion to create a brand new sound. Composed, arranged and produced by Coke, he worked with an array of seasoned musicians, including his own sisters Winifred (percussion / vocals) and Paulette Coke (percussion / DX-7 & M1 synthesisers).

Pressed on his own Saterlite Entertainments in 1989, Coke describes the album's purpose, "to get the message across to have focus, ambition, to dream and 'chase the sun'. That relationships are important, 'I need somebody' and naturally the chemistry is 'you and me'. Great relationships are about friendships and that it's ok to 'mesmerise a friend'. The most natural thing is to enjoy each other's company and to 'make a love child'. These good intentions and meanings, where love is the key." Some thirty years later Desmond's thoughts are as resonant today as then - Let's Chase The Sun.

Dark Entries is proud to present 'La Vida Sigue Igual', the sophomore EP from Savage Hymn. The project is a collaboration between Miami born-and-bred Mystic Bill Torres (Trax, Relief, Classic) and native New Yorker Jake Reif (Device Control, Upsetting Keys). Jake spent some musically formative years in the Midwest, drawing influence from the cultures of Chicago and Detroit. Fueled by the underground energy of warehouse and loft parties of the era, he began his DJ career in the early 1990s. Bill grew up going to goth and industrial clubs in Miami before moving to Chicago where he held residencies at clubs with Johnny Fiasco, Derrick Carter, Mark Farina, and Ralphi Rosario. The duo is heavily influenced by the early Chicago house and Detroit techno sounds as well as European electronic body music like Front 242 and Liaisons Dangereuses. Their first release 'Indecision' was a white label for Rong Music in 2015.

'La Vida Sigue Igual' is immediately a more physical affair than its predecessor, kicking off with the title track, a hard hitting percussive monster. The sparse simplicity of the machine gun synth work & monotone Spanish vocals by Mystic Bill evoke classic 80's industrial and art house dance tracks. We've included the instrumental version for adventurous DJs who want play doubles. On the B-side are two versions of the track 'Animals'. Version 1 explores the underbelly of NY with maniacal industrial rhythms and samples from Diamanda Galas and Travis Bickle (Robert DeNiro) in Taxi Driver. Version 2 ventures into dark freestyle territory, fueled by the underground energy of Chicago's Warehouse and Medusas clubs.

All songs have been mastered by George Horn at Fantasy Studios. The vinyl comes housed in a jacket with hand drawn illustration of night time jungle themes designed by Eloise Leigh and screen printed in muted teal pantone on french environment paper by Stumptown Printers. Each EP includes a postcard with a black and white photograph of the duo.

KASKADEUR #3

Masaala is a new label exploring all things South Asian. Launched in 2019, the debut release sees a mix of edits by Mancunian upstarts Adesi and Raheel Khan.

LIMITED TO 50 WHITE VINYL
Produced by the great Nick Martinelli together with Terri Jeffries, the first release of Dance Lover, back in 1985, immediately resulted in a local release on the Dutch Rams Horn label. Leading US Music-magazine “Billboard” wrote, back in ‘85 regarding Dance Lover: “An easy D-Train style combination of soul and electronics, with a good duet interplay and a well-structured dub”. Now made available again by Dutch High Fashion Music, manufactured from the original mastertapes and including re-edits by Joey Negro and Faze Action.

There are records you want and records you NEED. Here is one containing 2 massive re-edits from the master himself Danny Krivit. Side A sees him tease the massive Let Me Down Easy (known as the main riff for David Moraled Needin You) to over 8 minutes of uptempo disco bliss. On the B side, things get a little spicier as he pumps the Fatback Band percussive "Spanish Hustle" to a peak time monster. First time for both tracks on 12" - very limited edition from the people who delivered the HOMEHIT 7” series.

The word House goes through the veins of this project born in 2016
as a result of the passion, respect and admiration of its founders Iban Montoro & Jazzman Wax for House Music.
#MoodyHouse has its own flow that goes beyond a way of
understanding leisure, party or music.

It is a concept of community; a brotherhood tailored to anyone who
vibrates with the authentic sound of house.

A Classical and current sound, but that flees from labels, classes,
music genres and origins.

#MoodyHouse only believes that music is the magic of life, a
universal language that connects us.

With this premise, it adapts its format to day or night. to a club. a
festival. after work or a beach club.

Inspired by the urban scene of House like New York or Chicago.
The aim behind it is to push new talents and well established forward thinking producers. Expect slamming Underground House, Deep and Jackin cuts from some of the most exciting talent in the scene.

Label support from: Josh Wink, Mark Farina, Phill Weeks, Loco Dice, Terrence Parker, Sylvester, Dj Heather, Tyree Cooper, Miguel Migs, Jesse Saunders, Jose Padilla, Hector Moralez, Justin Harris, Homero Espinosa, Full Intention... DJ Mag, Ibiza Global Radio among others.

Wewantsounds is delighted to announce the first-ever official vinyl reissue of ZiadRahbani's mythical Lebanese Disco 12" "Abu Ali" originally issued in Lebanon in 1978 on his label Zida Records. A highly collectible album, it will get reissued by Wewantsounds with its original artwork, remastered by Colorsound Studio in Paris. ZiadRahbani is a cultural icon in Lebanon. The musician, pianist and producer is also a renowned playwright and a political activist, one of the most important exponents of the lebanese left-wing counterculture to emerge from the 70s. Coming out of an illustrious artistic dynasty (his father is the famous composer and musician AssiRahbani, member of group The Rahbani Brothers and his mother is the legendary Middle East Diva, Fairuz), ZiadRahbani started his music career during his late teens, composing music for his mother. Rahbani quickly spread his wings further. He started producing his own music co-founding the labelZida in 1978 at age 22 in the processs and started releasing records under his own name. Among these was "Abu Ali" recorded in Greece at the EMIStudios in Athens with a full orchestra (there he also recorded his mother's album "Wahdon") and released it as a limited run EP for the lebanese market. Legend has it that the album was only pressed at 500 unit hence itsrarity The result is a fabulous New York-meets-Beyrouth Disco.
