Fast becoming the golden boy of a new generation of broken beat producers, Danvers shows no signs of slowing up with this latest release on Boogie Café. Four cuts of soulful broken beat tinged deepness, kicking off with 'Desire' a double bass groover interweaved with hazy pianos and chopped up vocals. On remix duties, Harry Wolfman lays down a woozy, sun-drenched, emotive rework. Awash with jazzy keys, dreamy synths and tight drum loops offering up the perfect soundtrack to kick back to, beachside, Pina Colada in hand... On the B side, Danvers is back at the helm with 'Can't Let Him Know' an afro tinged, bruked up jam, heavy on the live bass, syncopated synths & vocal litanies. Last up, 'Someone To Count On' is a crunchy, late night, soiree coupling a monstrous bass synth, crushed up drum hits and sleazed out pads. Heaters a plenty on this one, taking Danvers one step closer to world Danvination.

Gabe Gurnsey returns with another limited-edition, white label pressing that melds
together two of the standout moments from ‘Physical’ into one irresistible slab of nocturnal electro. Combining the tectonic sleaze of ‘I Get’ with the roll call to rave transcendence of ‘Harder Rhythm’, Gurnsey creates, naturally, ‘I Get Harder’. Mutating his work to further perfect his halcyon club sound, ‘I Get Harder’ releases a slow-crawl ecstasy that’s ideal for dark rooms and open minds. Not one for the faint hearted

The enigmatic Vyvyan returns to MMM with the incendiary single, CoatBraPants. Backed up with 2 remixes from Running Back’s Gerd Janson, as well as the debut remix from Charlie Nobody, the single further displays the unique driving disco house hybrid stylings of Vyvyan, and acts as the perfect precursor to his Debut album, also to be released on MeMeMe and expected in early 2020. Not content with a single bite of the peach, Gerd Janson has provided us with both an out-and-out 90s New York house interpretation, as well as a separate organic dark-disco-dub version. "Charlie Nobody”, aka Chris Stoker from Ess O Ess and Not An Animal Records, laces his first ever solo piece of released music with a psychedelic dose of dancefloor arpeggiation nestled beside some sweetly balearic guitar playing.

Having spent the last few years impressing audiences around the world with his magical sound, we're very excited to announce that The Turk, Mehmet Aslan makes a welcome return to Highlife!

Italian talent Enzo Conoga launches his first single on WATAJ Recordings. Obscure disco infected of Latin jazz / funk in honor of the tropical side of the savannah and the felines that dominate it.

Second Installment by Berlin-based duo Sanctuary with their Life Classics label, featuring a hot mixed selection of styles between Disco and Funk edited for the dance floor with respect to the original work.

The supermegafunkinmachine's first official record with La Scimmia Records, offers the best vintage funk/disco-nu disco music. One track on each side, but every track is full of different musical suggestions, old school 70's funk, a bit of Psychedelia with a special attention for the club culture.

Rare sought-after future disco via Italy. Composed during the time when GIORGIO MORODER was creating DONNA SUMMER's "I FEEL LOVE" and FRANKIE KNUCKLES was making a name for himself at the WAREHOUSE. Limited import color vinyl. Don't sleep these will be gone fast.

Finally Copenema drops on vinyl. This special limited edition vinyl EP especially for those summer beach bar vibes.
The EP includes the much loved Te Faz Bem which became a Balearic classic in Ibiza last summer after DJ Harvey regularly played it at his residency 'Mercury Rising' at Pikes . This caught the attention of Pete Tong who played it on his BBC Radio 1 show multiple times.Deixa Música Tocar (Let The Music Play) on the B side is the second single (currently unreleased) and carries on the same classic Balearic vibe from Te Faz Bem.
Super strong remixes from Riccio & Kenneth Bager complete the 12' nicely. The single representing 'the other side of Ibiza' is receiving strong support from Pete Tong, DJ Harvey, Ruf Dug, Peaking Lights, Alfredo, DJ Pippi, Phli Mison, Jon Sa Trinxa and other Balearic inspired DJs and echoes a renewed interest in Latin and Brazilian inspired sounds across the beach bars of the Mediterranean in summer 2017. Copenema (Copenama = Copenhagen Vs Ipanema) is a collaborative project between artists from Denmark and Brazil with the album partly recorded in the living room of Brazilian star Rodrigo Sha in Rio Di Janeiro, and finished at the legendary Volmers studio in Copenhagen.

Copenema is the latest incarnation of Music For Dreams' label boss Kenneth Bager in collaboration with artists and friends Rodrigo Sha, Danish composer Troels Hammer and producer Thomas Schultz from Ambala. The lead single 'Te Faz Bem' was the last track recorded during the sessions and will be the first single released on Music For Dreams this autumn.

Echoes is the second album by the Ukrainian producer Cape Cod, released jointly by labels Vinyla Records & Kiev House.

Echoes is a comprehensive and multi-genre work in terms of sound and song creativity. On second album, dance music floats between genres, styles and mood from track to track, while Cape Cod skillfully waves the breakbeat, r'n'b of the new school, soul and hip hop into the tracks and brings his love to the disco house to the sound level.

Previously released as part of a double LP compilation with her complete output on Selector Sound and the Deep Inside You EP. However, this is the first official reissue of the Deep Inside You EP as it's on stand-alone release. Soul singer Gloria Ann Taylor has no rags to riches tale to tell. Her story is one of personal sacrifice, failed relationships, and missed opportunity. She was leading a hard knock life before being swept-up by the flash and promise of a marriage and business partnership with a successful record producer. She would be nominated for a Grammy, rub shoulders with James Brown and Bootsy Collins, and turn heads from Motown. But in the end she rejected professional singing, the music business, and the lifestyle that came with it. Thankfully for music lovers, before Gloria closed the doors on her singing career, she left us with some amazing soul songs. Deeply shaded by gospel roots, her haunting sound clearly comes from the gut. Gloria did not fake the funk.Gloria was a partial owner of the Selector Sounds label, along with her husband/producer Walter Whisenhunt (previously a right-hand man to James Brown), and her brother Leonard. They released five Gloria Taylor singles between 1971 and 1977. They also released the three-song Deep Inside You EP, under the name Gloria Ann Taylor and Walter Whisenhunt's Orchestra. In the studio Whisenhunt would work up a unique musical brew that mixed northern soul with exotic percussion and fuzzy psychedelic guitars. He moved Gloria through arange of tempos and stylings from ballads to disco. Her gritty vocal performance was set to orchestral arrangements creating a juxtaposition of grandeur and solace. The pinnacle of their collaborations has to be the jaw-droppingly epic EP version of "Love Is a Hurting Thing"; a chugging, string-laden disco track, that sounds like proto-Theo Parrish.

Moving to London, producing two sell-out records with Mall Grab’s Steel City Dance Discs, and nailing mixes for Rinse, NTS and Boiler Room, made 2018 a landmark year for Australian-born producer and DJ Loods. Following his extensive touring across the UK and Europe, Loods has been working away in the studio to produce his Classic Music Company debut. This two-track 12” marks an impressive label outing for the artist, as title track ‘Walking Away’ offers a summer-ready sound with soft keys, a soulful vocal sample and lilting beat. On the B-side is the deep and grooving ‘The Feeling’, where the burgeoning artist presents another track primed for summer dancefloors with this disco house number.

Kitsuné veröffentlicht die neue EP des kanadischen Produzenten Pat Lok, der mit jeder Menge R&B, Soul und House Gute-Laune-Vibes verbreitet, Millionen von Streams generiert und mit Acts wie Galantis, HONNE oder The Magician auf Tour geht. Auf seiner "Corazon EP" wird Pat Lok von den Vokalisten Tom Aspaul, Dances With White Girls, Kate Stewart, Luke Burr und Hannan Yadi begleitet.

Remix of The Bucketheads classic is final release in Positiva's 25th anniversary seriesCelebrating 25 years at the summit of the dance music industry, iconic label Positiva Records is proud to unveil the final release of the Positiva 25 series, EJECA's extended 'Got Myself Together' rework.

First made famous by The Bucketheads in 1995, the track quickly cemented a reputation as a staple hit of many 90s clubbers lives. Reimagined with a 2019 touch by EJECA (aka Garry McCartney), the producer laces his own mix with a series of rhythmic bass-line grooves.

With Pete Tong supporting EJECA's previous productions on his BBC Radio 1 show, the Irish producer is famed for his dynamic blend of house and techno, releasing on esteemed labels such as Sasha's Last Night on Earth imprint, KMS and Defected.

Launching in 1993, Positiva's back-catalogue includes many of the biggest hits of the past quarter-century, with the imprint achieving a staggering 14 UK #1 singles. Marking the celebration in 2018 with a range of special events, Positiva hosted parties at a range of venues including legendary Ibiza venue Cafe Mambo and London's Ministry of Sound club. The label also released a complete Positiva 25 box-set to commemorate the occasion, providing party goers with a nostalgic trip down memory lane thanks to 6 discs of the imprint's classic anthems.

With EJECA's slick production set to drop on 12th April, the track is the final release from the Positiva 25 catalogue, and follows re-imaginations from the likes of Floorplan, Kideko, Yotto, Mele, Dash Berlin, Eats Everything and Shadow Child.
