ITALO-DISCO !!!VINYL 12"!!!!REPRESS!!!

New year, new start and a long overdue introduction of some female sensibilities into the Slow Motion stable. System Olympia hails from Calabria and was formerly part of London based Royalty. You know the drill by now, tear jerking synths, chest crushing bass and that indefinable slow-motion disco swagger that we have made all our own. Dance floor, after party, headphones, locked groove tools - we got it covered.

Previous lauded releases on Italians Do It Better, Bear Funk and Eskimo. The single YAML was released as a 12' in May 2017 and the video premiered by music, fashion and culture mag Blackbook. DJ-producer- sound designer Bottin actually calls La Serenissima home - though he has actually been one of Europe's most hard-working and traveled DJs. Back home he has remixed many top Italian pop artists, and also worked with Benetton's Fabrica.' On his new album, I Have What I Gave, out October 6th on 2MR, Retrogroove, and TIN, Italian musician Bottin outdoes himself. He crafts propulsive, disco-laden scores for films not yet made, and introspective, mind-expanding cuts designed to ensure that people who want to dance never get caught up in conventional experiences. Each moment with Bottin is a memorable one. One thing that sets I Have What I Gave apart from his pioneering Horror Disco and much-loved Punica Fides LPs is that this time around Bottin didn't see to it to create a concept-album structure. Everything came at once during the writing and recording process, which no doubt gives the album its intensity and sense of immediacy. But even if the album didn't come about in a series of tightly crafted experiments, it doesn't sound messy or chaotic. It's just the opposite. Bottin has managed to take bits and pieces of sounds, some short loops and orphaned arpeggios, and a handful of vocal samples, and put them t ogether into an album that unifies 10 songs of divergent trajectories into an outstanding body of work that absolutely kills. Also Available From Bottin: YAML.

...and in the end, not a great deal is known about the Spanish duo Futuro. The saga begins with the discovery of a cache of test pressings deep within the shelves of a very dusty record shop near the Plaza Del Toros De Valencia. As is the case with these things there was no promo sheet or any other information outside of three clues etched into the run-out groove: Futuro, Jollyman, MCMLXXXVII. Through deduction and reasoning it was soon realised that Jollyman was a short lived Italian record label that closed it's doors in 1987. There were rumours for a while that Jollyman was a mafia wedding gift to a music enthused female family member, but as the journey continued it became slightly more likely that this was a tax write-off for it's owners, as the label itself was never very successful, and was more likely an afterthought rather than a full on passion project. That is not to say that there were not gems hidden within it's small catalogue, most notably from noted library musician, composer and arranger Alessandro Signoretti, without whose help this release would not be presently in front of you. Alessandro's assistance led us to the infamous Hafenklang Studio in Hamburg, Germany. The very same studio used by Boytronic to record their classic LP 'The Continental' (some of the same DX presets can easily be heard on both albums) and despite the insane amounts of musicians that have passed through those doors the owner clearly remembered the duo and finally the mysterious Futuro had names: Javier C Rayón and Raúl Láynez.Too late for the Italo boom, and too early for the Sonido De Valencia craze, the recordings of Futuro have sat on master tapes since 1987 finally awaiting their much deserved audience. Bordello A Parigi are more than proud to present this lost Late slow-mo synthesizer Italo masterpiece onto the world.

The newly formed Hungarian Pæonï Music is making waves with its first outing. Grema, the man behind the label and its debut release, is a well known character in Budapest's underground techno and house scene. All three cuts on Delays EP are for the dance floor, specifically designed to make people move. Darker, dubby Prophet-8 chords are reinforced by dynamic drum-sets and samples, which finely balance between the modern and traditional side of house music.

Kambo Super Sound with another stepper-bomb. Future looking space synths, high-cutting hats as well as old school melodica and thriving percussions in the mix - for a solid blast. Don Papa's annual cut of wrangled reggae goes caribic in both riddim & melody with proper style and bass boost for the real dance moves!

finally repressed !

Clattering percussion, raw energy... all the things that make an O'Flynn release but now with a slightly more mature palette driving this hotly tipped producer forward. The term 'mature' is used lightly, it's still completely mad with a load of sub!!

Debuted on BBC Radio 1 by Danny Howard followed immediately after by the main man himself Pete Tong, Body Funk is a summer jam that does to interpolation what the sun does to California.

Sylvester's 'Do You Wanna Funk' and Hot Streak's 'Body Work' are joined together like bacon and eggs in a perfect Purple Disco Machine orchestrated interpolation.

Following the monumental 100th release on the label from Jamie Jones, Hot Creations are set to deliver a heavyweight remix package of the No.1, chart topping Theme From S'Express from S'Express. Originally released in 1989, the acid house classic is remixed by Tuff City Kids aka Gerd Janson and Phillip Lauer and Hot Creations artist Detlef.
Master remixers, Tuff City Kids deliver an Balearic tinged acid gem with a melodic touch for their take on the original, with an Acid Dub on the flip also on offer. The talented duo has remixed artists such as Arto Mwambe, Scuba, Tensnake and Azari & III to name a few. Incredibly, they have managed to maintain a relatively low profile, despite the steady stream of music they've released via well-respected labels like Rekids, Unterton, Delsin, Internasjonal, Permanent Vacation and Live at Robert Johnson.
Hot Creations and Paradise favourite Detlef delivers a driving, club ready version for his remix. In a short time he has released and remixed with well respected labels including Hot Creations, Relief, Knee Deep In Sound, Moon Harbour, and Defected earning support from the likes of Green Velvet, Marco Carola, Matthias Tanzmann, Hot Since 82, and Jamie Jones to name a few.

Emotional Rescue presents a limited edition 7 with two songs that while not featuring on the Stollwerck Sampler reissue (ERC026), make a unique piece together as they are focused around the legendary drumming of Jaki Liebezeit. Coming out of the European Free Jazz movement of the mid-60s, by the end of decade Liebezeit had moved towards psychedelic realms of rock and alongside Irmin Schmidt, Holger Czukay, Michael Karoli and David C. Johnson formed the pioneering 'Krautrock' band, Can, in 1968. His unique half-man, half machine metronome style was integral to the band's development and success throughout the following decade, a centre-piece to their sound as they became acclaimed international stars. With the slow hiatus that engulfed Can in 1980 each member went on to work on new projects. For Leibezeit, this saw him team up with guitarist Dominik Von Senger to form Phantom Band. Releasing just 3 albums, each are highly regarded, encompassing an extension of latter-day Can's funky-jazz fusion with metronomic rock and experimenting with African rhythms. Out of this came the Von Senger led Dunkelziffer (ERC007/8/9), all centered around the warehouse art spaces of Stollwerck. When the recordings for a special Sampler album bought together various artists and bands based in the space it was logical that Liebezeit would be heavily involved. The Sampler's LP collage of post-punk, krautrock, dub and avant-garde music saw many unusual collaborations and for this limited 7 we present two such pieces, including the first ever recording of his drum ensemble, Drums Off Chaos. First, Phantom Band team up with the unknown Linear Johnson & The Protons. A mixture of krautrock meets 50s USA rock'n'roll delivery makes for a wondefully odd combination, but the interplay between drums and Von Senger's guitar marry with R&B vocals to jovial perfection. On the flip, here then are the beginnings of Liebezeit's Drums Off Chaos. Some 5 minutes of pure drumming explosions, this unique recording was not followed up for a further 20 years and is therefore, a special document in a comprehensive music career.

It's already been 5 years since the last Zombie Zombie album 'Rituels d'un Nouveau Monde', after which the group explored other territories by signing 2 film scores, namely 'Loubia Hamra' by Narimane Mari and 'Irréprochable' by Sébastien Marnier, as well as creating the music accompanying a contemporary circus show called 'Slow Futur' created by Martin Palisse and Elsa Guérin. Wouldn't these beautiful parentheses make you want to return to the sources After 10 years at Versatile Records, 2017 also marks the decade anniversary of the release of their first album 'A Land for Renegades' in 2007, at the time considered to be one of the 10 best albums of the year according to Rough Trade.
'Livity' - Zombie Zombie's latest opus seems to plunge us deep into science fiction, with a cover designed by the mythic cartoonist Philippe Druillet, who is also the founder of the cult Métal Hurlant comic series. The title of the album is somewhat misleading, as one could mistakenly think of a certain dub record made at
the famous Island Records Compass Point studio in the Bahamas. For the uninitiated 'Livity' or 'Life force' is actually a Rastafarian spiritual concept based on the idea that an energy exists within, and flows through, all people and all living things. The record was recorded last winter in Paris, in a very short time frame. 7 tracks played live in 7 days, by Etienne Jaumet (synthesizers / rhythm box / metallophone / sax), Cosmic Neman (drums / vocals / sound effects), and Dr. Schonberg (percussion / electronics / trumpet), recorded at the Red Bull Studios by Thibaut Javoy and Jerome Caron, 2 very competent engineers. To keep it in the family, the album was then mixed by another member of the Versatile stable, the mysterious and legendary DJ/producer I:Cube, done in the label's Victor Studio.
On this album the principles that are dear to the group rest being respected, still as far away as always from the standards of 'radio play', A living kind of music, composed of long instrumental moments recorded with analog synthesizers and drum machines, accompanied by drums and percussion. But I:Cube's touch may bring the unique energy that one may find at Zombie Zombie's concerts; on certain cuts like title track 'Livity' that the group recorded in Laos, a wild combination of 808 kick drums and bewitching jungle sounds that sound quite unlike anything else out there, and especially on 'Hippocampe', which gives the impression of hearing an old school hip hop rhythm with the power of a metal band who have replaced their guitars with an army of synthesizers: we recommend you listen to this particular track in a convertible while speeding down the highway.
As with all of Zombie Zombie's music the cinematic component is still strong, on titles like 'Ils existent..' 'Acera' which was originally composed for ciné-concerts accompanying the films of Jean Painlevé et Maurice Pialat. The energy of the beginning is still very present, as is - of course - the kraut inspiration. But it's also an album that takes new directions and sonic risks, like on 'Looose', which brings to mind the Art Ensemble of Chicago, or the groove of James Chance in New York in the early 1980's, featuring the free sax solos of Etienne Jaumet and Dr. Schonberg on the trumpet. The group also offers some slower and calmer titles, like 'Heavy Meditation' as well as exploring more experimental tracks in the line of French 70's groups such as Lard Free or Richard Pinhas, for example on the bonus track 'Black Moon'.
Please - Take your time, and enjoy listening!

On the flip we have the legend and gentleman that is Felix Dickinson on remix duties. Perfect to add a bit of spice to your summer sets.

Hailing from St Petersburg in Russia, Kito Jempere has been recognised by his peers and a wider global audience thanks to an impeccable serie of releases in recent years.
It is no surprise neither that Dairmount spotted him already in 2013 with his Confusion EP on Jimpster's Freerange, followed by his Objects album on his own Fata Morgana imprint & solid releases last year on Dirt Crew & Let's Play House.
His tracks have been remixed by luminaries as Nachtbraker, Jacob Korn, Roberto Rodriguez, HNNY, Juju & Jordash, OOFT or Ruf Dug... Kito & me met in Montenegro last summer at the amazing Southern Soul Festival through our friends Eddy Ramich & Lay-Far. We both played as part of the 4 days event & developed a deeper relationship.
Besides our obvious common musical grounds, we both became fathers nearly at the same time, him of Theo, me of Thea.
This became our red line in our exchanges remembers Phil with a grin on the face. Following his new fatherhood and an important HD crash which led to the loss of many musical works, Kito came back from Montenegro and sat down in his studio, starting from scratch, highly inspired. The 2 tracks you hear today are the results of these sessions of total freedom without prepared sound banks or samples. Kito & Phil took the time last autumn to let the tracks breathe and exchanged very naturally on their arrangements & mixdowns, till Kito finalised them in the silent snowy landscapes of the Russian country side in december.

Following on from the impressive opening statement from Modern Manners, the second installment from the hitherto unknown outfit sees the sonic remit reaching out to other influences while retaining that poised lounge attitude that made the first record so instantly endearing. "Research" is a dub track in essence, sporting ample space in the mix, the odd conga roll and sparse chords calling out into a field of reverb and delay. "Can Maneras" is a more shuffling kind of smooth jazz that aligns with the classy licks of St Germain and the like. "Serate Cosmiche" finishes the EP off on a melancholic tip that puts the synths at the front of the mix for the first time.

Early support from: CLAPTONE, FELIX DA HOUSECAT, JORIS VOORN, STACEY PULLEN, FRANKY RIZARDO, LEON, DENNIS FERRER, MARK KNIGHT, ROGER SANCHEZ, DOC MARTIN, RIVA STARR, DENNEY, CATZ N DOGZ, JOSEPH CAPRIATI, AUDIOJACK...

Hot on the heels of the smash release from Superlover, MOTHER RECORDINGS welcome back SIMION to the label with his THE RHYTHM EP. SIMION presents two cuts of upfront house music that are prime for the dancefloor.
First up is title-track, 'The Rhythm', a nod to the 90s Chicago sound with jacking drums and a sensual female vocal. Backed up by a funk-fuelled bassline and a lush piano breakdown that lead into a deep house groove.
The B-side 'Feeling Good' is true to its title. Tight percussion, chopped vocals and a catchy synth line all come together in a fluttering climax. This one is sure to leave any dancefloor shaking.

MOTHER060
MOTHER RECORDINGS keeps up the heat with a new EP from DILBY. Known for his shows on Ibiza Global Radio and his beats on Toolroom Records and Bondage Music amongst others, he is one of the finest New Zealanders in the game.
WORK YOUR BODY goes first and is a squelchy Tech House tune with gritty bass, tough drums and a no frills groove that really will work the floor. It is also finished with a naughty, rude boy vocal that adds more fuel to the fire.
DANCE TO THE RHYTHM is more fiery, with bass stabs, rolling drums and female vocal coos. It is fresh house music as ever from this label and the cosmic synths that rain down add some vital colour. More dance floor dynamite from the MOTHER crew.

It's always been about the bass. Climb to the dark side of modern pop as you enter the fractured, hypnotic, dance of Tristesse Contemporaine. 2nd album is ready, it's coming soon this year in Sept. from Record Makers. EP is going out May 13.

Nous vous présentons notre projet CBONWAX-01: la première release vinyle de Copie Blanche.

Walter Jones has been composing music since 1977 and released his first record in 2003. He has released on various labels such as DFA, Westbound, Supersoul, Cisco/Stevier, HAKT, Permanent Vacation, Under the Shade. With "Instant Gratification," his second outing on Whiskey Pickle, the Louisiana based producer offers four, cosmically tinged dance tracks that sparkle effortless class and unique flair. Presented for the label's sophomore vinyl release, we are treated with bouncy, house-bumpers ("Razzmatazz" and "The Grinder"), low tempo chuggers ("Harmonic Urgency") and even ambient works ("Making Love").

Just over a year on since he released his stunning LP 'Happiness' on Classic Music Company, Eli Escobar returns to the label with an album which couldn't be further removed in sentiment. Whereas 'Happiness' radiated sublime house/disco hybrid bliss throughout, 'Shout' is a heartfelt rage against America's developing political disasters.
The quintessential New York City DJ, Eli is a devoted collector, explorer and connoisseur of all kinds of music from his hip-hop roots. He is hugely well-respected in the New York club circuit after over two decades of mutual love for the city and the house scene. Having been switched on to Eli by his debut album 'Up All Night', Classic Music Company is now his creative home.
'Shout' starts robustly with 'Nightmare Rag', police sirens ringing out in the background while a disgruntled voice repeats 'ode to America' and a dream-like piano riff gathers momentum, turning into a punchy acid beat. Giving way to tangible heartbreak in 'Interlude (American Sorrow)' with lamenting saxophone and light percussion, Eli maintains the political message in 'The People', urging the listener to wake up by using crafty vocal samples and hypnotic chords. Further highlights include heavier tracks like 'Muzik' which picks up the pace of the record, before 'City Song' brings back the New York house vibe with vocal cuts and warm synths. 'City Song Part 2' and 'Body and Soul' show Eli's disco influences while 'Goin' On' flickers with hope.
A stormy departure from the glowing balminess of his previous LPs, 'Shout' addresses Eli's anguish over his country hitting self-destruct, while still putting his own twist on his city's house and disco soundtrack, joining the dots between yesterday's golden era classics and today's club anthems. Underpinning it all is Eli's acute musical sensitivity; whether it's a straight-up party jam or a crafty disco cut-up, warmth and soul are poured in.

Finally the third release for Red Rooster Records. Like the second one, we are talking about a various artists E.P.: Minimono (Fabio Della Torre and Ennio Colacci) is an italian duo born in Florence in 1997. IN 2008 Fabio and Ennio founded their own label Bosconi Records' where they released their first album in 2010. Now Minimono works with Robsoul Records, Vibraphone and other very good label from all over the world. Dj Rou is parts of the project called HOMEQUEST, a real crew of artists made in Bologna, we can also find his music on Robsoul Jazz, Bosconi extra Virgin or Flexi Cuts. Memoryman aka Uovo is one of the famous Pastaboys, he has a long story that starts with the label Manocalda, he worked with a lot of big artists from the main house scene and he did a lot of records with the bests labels. D' Arabia, class 1991, is the owner of Red Rooster Records and this is the third release for him, surely not the last.

"Everything I do now started with record collecting. It's the foundation of my career; from writing about music, DJing in clubs, putting compilations together or spending many late-night hours, glass of red wine in hand, bidding on stupid records on eBay." - Bill Brewster

Spanning 41 tracks, 'Tribal Rites' is a musical autobiography of sorts from one of dance music's most dedicated historians, Bill Brewster. Released this November on 3 CDs and double vinyl via Belgium's Eskimo Recordings, the compilation takes us on a personal journey through Bill's 36 year long involvement in the music industry.

Whether running DMC's New York offices or labels including Twisted UK and Forensic, being one of Fabric's original residents, writing (with Frank Broughton) probably the definitive overview of DJ culture, the seminal 'Last Night A DJ Saved My Life' and the equally essential 'How To DJ (Properly)', running the DJhistory website or promoting their much loved Low Life parties, Bill's fingerprints can be found all over dance music's past few decades.

So whilst there are few people more qualified to compile such a thing, 'Tribal Rites' isn't just a 'House & Disco Greatest Hits', instead we have the soundtrack to a life spent at the coalface of record collecting, of early mornings at car boot sales and late nights logged onto Discogs.

Split into three sections, the compilation begins in the post-punk period, and through tracks such as explores the influence of dub on bands of the time such as Orang Utan, General Strike and The Raincoats. The second section takes us into that mish-mash of sounds and styles best described as 'Balearic' where the likes of Bobby Gentry and Final Edition can happily co-exist and a country and western cover of Hall & Oates 'I Can't Go For That' seems like the most obvious thing in the world.

The final section then concentrates exclusively on house music, though again showcasing just what a broad church House is, able to accommodate both the spiritual yearnings of Mother Tongue's 'Message of Love' and the precision tooled productions of Basic Channel's Maurizio.

At a moment in time when dance music is more prominent than ever and DJs are treated like pop stars, 'Tribal Rites' is a vital reminder that there's a lot more to DJing than just downloading the latest Beatport chart and waving your hands in the air.

A story about a man separated from his group of travellers, lost in the Amazon Rainforest. He comes across a small settlement inhabited by people of a completely different mindset and way of living. They take him in and show him how to look at the world in an alternative way, which evokes an incredible revelation in him. He then goes off into the wilderness alone in search of his comrades, and everything is completely different to how he first perceived. This is extremely overwhelming and euphoric. He eventually finds himself at the top of a gigantic tree that stands tall as the sky, right at the crest of a majestic waterfall. As his journey peaks, he jumps from the tree into the water below. As he surfaces for air, things seem 'normal' again. As is if it had never happened, but he knows something in him has changed. His companions are waiting at the bank of the river for him. He rejoins the group. As they head for basecamp, he realises there is no way that he will ever be able to express what he experienced that day. His journey is his own, and always will be.

Whispered words from the ancient earth. The biosphere metaphorically battered by dusty drum machines, synth swept landscapes, industrial hooks that ring out from the barren outback. Was is das
Die Orangen are Australian-expats Kris Baha and Dreems, and together they have crafted a genre: "Krautback." Rooted in indigenous psychedelia, resonating the vast expanses of the island of Gondwanaland, turnt up by progressive cultures, and multiplied by the logic of the German mind.
Hear the sound of the Southern sun melt genres, feel it flow downstream into a languid ocean of sound.
Beware the punch of the red kangaroo, a bite from the deadly taipan, the neon stare in a tree-frogs eye, and the bleached siren call of the coral reef - these wild sonic reveries ominously soundtrack the future that nature has in store.

Finally the second release for Red Rooster Records. This time we are talking about a various artists E.P.: Dj Rou and Dj Cream are both parts of the project called HOMEQUEST, a real crew of artists made in Bologna, we can also find this two guys on Robsoul Jazz, Bosconi extra Virgin (Dj Rou) and Robsoul Records (Dj Cream). Frank Agrario (part of the 'project' Swayzak) has a very original sound that you can find printed on his label: Micronation Records. D' Arabia is known for the 2016's groovy track "Pajama Girl' printed on the first wax by Red Rooster Records.

The Kings of the Euro Funk Scene, Germany's First Touch release their first two sided 7" on STAR CREATURE. These 2 tracks saw a limited CD only release in 2010 but the only copies of that album seem to fetch $100 + online. Both are true instrumental slappers with synth, piano & horn solos for days.
