TAKEN FROM FOSTER'S ALBUM PRESSED ON 10" CLEAR VINYL

Black Cherry is made up of the writing duo Megane Quashie and Guilhem Fraisse with very different musical background and influences. The two fused together a perfect blend of Electro, dance and rock to make the sound that there called 'Black Cherry'

Black Cherry has played many high profile shows like Glastonbury, Isle of Wight, V Festival, Connect Festival, Balaton Sounds, SXSW, CMJ and many more. The duo has also tour with the likes of Siousix Sioux, The Wombats, Iglu & Hartly and Akala.

Black Cherry continues to develop their sound and have been working on the first physical release with Colin Emmanuel (Beta Band) on ISM Records.

The long waited Ep will form a tribute to lost but not forgotten band member Rob Moore who passed away on 22nd Sept 2009.

On the A side Newcastle meets Lisbon in this crazy funk bossa rockabilly bomb. A track that was originally born in Lisbon (Portugal) by Dedy Dread and transported through space landing on Newcastle (UK) soil to be treated with the unmistakable drum hellish sound of SMOV. The final result being this crazy ass shaking bossa funk rockabilly jazz dance bomb!

Over on the flip and hailing from Hamburg Germany, Funktomas drops a some what classic B Boy anthem "Shack Up" over some old skool flavour female chants creating a simple but very effective banger! I bet you cant put one of these in your turntable without droppin into the caterpillar!

After bursting onto the scene in 2007 with their debut release on 4th Floor - the English-Swedish combination of Wipe the Needle have since gone on to produce for prestigious labels such as Slip n Slide, Raw Fusion, Deeply Rooted & Defected Records. Known for their ability to cut it on a variety of dancefloors, the guys have the knack of delivering a varied production sound ranging from purist & soulful right through deeper & clubbier.

After a string of fresh remixes, including a great one for the Homewreckers here on Circus, Dave Aju offers this two-track side project treat while we await his next album.

DJ Promo only! Bad Sound Quality......

Seminlal Belgian New Wave / Synth pop anthem 'Poupee Flash' by Premiere Classe gets a timely re issue. Released in 1982, this is one of those forgotten gems that may ignite a party but you'll never know the name of. Its demand grew when it was one of the stand out tracks taken from Metro Area's incredible Fabric Mix CD in 2009. Backed with another winner - a dark electro ballad, 'La Fille Qui Rit', you need this record in your life!

The full details of The Z.A.C.K. has been lost in the cosmic wilderness... however, we know this to be true... They produced this incredible debut album in 1979, that French composer Robert Loubet was the brains of the operation and that this LP produced one single, the albums opener "Mister Satellite".

Side A : 'Acrostico'
Unusual fretless bassline, almost jazz territory with live sounded drum and hypnotic synth... though it still holds the funkiness all the way through.
Side B1 : 'Jay Bees'
Funky cutting guitar - tropical feeling~ These disco sound effects and bass keep the groove till the background noise breakdown come in, wait for
the main chorus riff!
Side B 2 : 'Windy Disco'
Percussive intro, white noise effects, funky guitar riff - Perfect for the summery season to come!

It's the final leg of the Wild Geese African DJ tour and Flashback's intrepid dj duo are nursing a jungle sized hangover after a marathon 8hr set along the banks of the Zambeezi.

On the long, dusty bus journey back to Scrondonday Airport they are awoken by a chubby African youth playing a Smith and Hack mix-tape out of his mobile phone speaker. Having not previously slept for 5 days the Geese were not best pleased and challenged the youth to a duel. One thing led to another and before long the youth led them through a waterfall and into a crypt said to be haunted by the ghost of Ron Hardy.

"I am Badonday The Eternal" bellowed the youth as he pulled a dat from his pocket. Suddenly the cave filled with golden shards of light and began to fill with dry ice as the glowing tape was placed into a dat machine previously owned by David Attenborough in the 70's. The Wild Geese looked on in amazement as the sound of disco-house made a comeback right there and then. Badonday then started screaming at the Geese to run back to the waterfall as the ghost of Ron Hardy entered the crypt with a giant pair of disco scissors. "Dudes, wait! Let me do an edit, man it needs an edit!" screamed Ron as a massive ball of stone came rolling into view. Badonday and the Geese ran towards the waterfall, just managing to roll under the descending crypt door before being crushed by the giant stone ball. Welling up, Badonday turned to the Wild Geese "You must take this back to New York and press it onto vinyl before someone else does! You are my only hope".

Side A : 'Baby'
It is not easy task to turn the familiar melody into something more interesting, however Yamwho~ made great intro, great arrangement, instrumental part works too.

Side B1 : 'So In Love'
Hypnotic funky intro, effective key riff, atmospheric chorus, 'so in love with you' hook mixed nicely with other vocal lines too.

Side B 2 : 'Keep On U'
Kicks off with jazzy keys with shuffling drum & bass, beautiful strings, male vocal -soulful, great horns.

Finally levelNONzero is going to release this strong EP from Andreas Mügge aka D.Diggler. Three grooving house tracks, which fit perfectly into springtime and the upcoming ibiza season. Already played by international DJs like: Nick Curly, Josh Wink, Tobi Neumann and many more...

Japanese producer Swing-O (AKA DJ 45) knocked up his monster of a remix of "Time Is Right For Love" a couple of months ago without being asked, and similarly the mighty Boca 45 loved "Hold Fast" so much that he devised this party starting remix simply to play out in his DJ sets! So with 45 written all over it, the Mocambo boys decided to give Wah Wah 45s the pleasure of releasing these two sure fire club bangers on 7-inches of wax.

MANCHESTER'S FINEST PAPER RECORDINGS WITH A KILLER 2 TRACK FROM MAT PLAYFORD & LEFT MINDED

Three heavyweights of the new Disco era, Greg Wilson, Todd Terje and the 6th Borough Project (Graeme Clark aka The Revenge and Craig Smith), are brought together on one serious slab of crucial vinyl, via GW's Edit The Edit imprint.
Terje's 'Boogie', which appeared in 2007 under his Wade Nichols alias as part of the Mindless Boogie series, is extended and overdubbed, whilst 6BP's 'How Can I Show You', from 2009, gets well and truly worked over for the flipside's 'Drop The Bomb'.

The first Edit The Edit is now a cult classic, having unveiled the epic 'Two Sides Of Sympathy'. The second release has been a long time coming but the wait, I'm sure you'll agree, was well worthwhile now the time has arrived to ignite the night with these two crucial chunks of Disco Funk dynamite.

Big M Bootie Vol.5 again is a monster of big, fat rocking
sounds. From Breaks to House with a touch of Funk and Soul this record fits in every set except those minmal things.
Because there is a maximum of grooves, hooks, melodies and rhythm it is anything but not minimal. Check out! You got to have it! now repressed !!!

Sydney music collective S.W.A.T (Soul With A Twist) are set to launch their highly anticipated label with debut 12" and digi release 'Tickle Me Disco' by Disco outfit Flatwound, fresh from dazzling the crowds during the Australian Summer Festival season. Expect Future Boogie, Deep House Grooves and Energetic Nudisco.

For their first releases mighty remixes come from local and International King Pins Jamie Lloyd (Future Classic), Tal M Klein (Aniligital) and Diesler (Tru Thoughts/Freestyle), which are all set on a course for dance floor destruction.

efdemin´s little vinyl imprint naif strikes back with number two feauring two of his favorite producers: juergen junker the most underrated producer, dj and live act from london on one side and efdemin´s long time friend and partner (together as PIGON) rndm, who so far released on DIAL and it´s sub-imprint LAID.

For our 24th release we wanted to go back to our classic Funk Weapons roots, and to do that we bring you Mash & Munkee aka David Hanke & Kolja Starkowski from Germany. They have produced three slices of supreme nu-funk goodness for all you break beat loving freaks. First off we start with 'Work it Out', a full on funk fest of horns, funky bass, and enough cracking break-beats to satisfy the nimblest of b-boys. 'Giving you the Funk' does just that, complete with a jumping live bass-line, building horns and hip hop vocals and groove that eventually builds up to a nice fat synth bass-line that takes the track to the next level. 'Make A Difference' gets all Ron Burgundy on us with some funky flute and smooth blaxplotation style horns and of course another funky bass-line to keep the kids body rocking. Finally we round out the package with Neighbour's remix of 'Make a Difference', who remixes the track in his signature future-boogie style, complete with honking bass-line and smooth chords and injects back in the horns and flute to make the whole thing jam perfect for those late night roller-disco vibes.

Mock & Toof return with the second single from their stunning debut album Tuning Echoes. This double A-side release is a nice reflection of what to expect on the LP as it features contributions from both vocalists Pollyester & Gavin Gordon. The sublime Suppress Your Feelings is on an eco-conscious electro-pop/kraut-rock tip while Shoeshine Boogie does what it says on the tin with some chuggy boogie chops. This release also features the brand new vinyl-only track Live At Alipali which has been picking up enthusiastic support from the likes of Todd Terje, The Revenge, Jacques Renault & Eric D.

Remixes come from disco don Ray Mang & Studios mega talented Dan Lissvik who both deliver fantastic interpretations.

The time has come for DISCO TRASH MUSIC to rule the world!
The guys are back on Absolut Freak Records (after their famous remix of Play Paul on the AF16) with the summer hit "Bumper Cars" featuring the South African MC's SPOEK (well-known for his works with Djedjotronic, StereoHeroes, Evil Nine or Chris de Luca) and BIG SPACE on vocals. The vinyl EP contains a massive remix by the French sensation JUST A BAND (aka Tom Deluxx & Romain Grenier), a tropical bass version by the rulers of the genre SCHLACHTHOFBRONX (winning success on Disko B and Man Recordings), an electrifying remix by the German wunderkind from Dim Mak DIRTY DISCO YOUTH and another powerful track by Disco Trash Music called "Let's Play Drinking. Games".

Munich's Compost is introducing a new sub-label: Compost Disco!

After the success of the "Star Wash EP" Space Ranger present two new boogie bangers from their voyage to the stars in order to make the wait for their debut album (due out in October 2010) a lot more bearable. Cosmic disco galore, with Madrid-based producer Rayko slowing the title track down a tad more and making it even more psychedelic than it already is, and Italian Ajello using his stardust on "Shave Me, I'm Famous" for extra space/spice.

Brand new label focussing solely on 7 inch vinyl, Digga Please' aims to bring you the finest in dancefloor funk, hip hop, disco, electro & whatever else can fit onto 7"s of shiny black plastic. Born from the long running night of the same name, the first release finds DJ Shepdog serving up a couple of juicy edits, pitching 2 soul legends against each other on the classic "Heard It Through The Grapevine" and adding a bit more bump and grind in the process. Over on the B-side is a tribute to the classic "Spread Love" on the Bozo Meko label and reputedly the work of Mark The 45 King. Here, Shep takes the drum break and adds the full song from which the samples were originally lifted. Simple, but very effective.

After meeting at the 10 Days Off festival in Ghent the duo started sending each other beats and tracks and soon enough a full album was in the making.

Hounds of Hate do not adhere to digital production methods but embrace limitations of old equipment, arriving at a unique lo-fi sound. They often mix around with Hype Williams and the Bo Khat Family band, spawning mixtapes, aborted radio talk shows and befuddled audiences. Live, they've played with Pens, Graffitti island, Hype williams, Plugs, Maria and the Mirrors and have upcoming shows with Caribou, Gold Panda and Alexander Tucker
