House Vinyl New Releases - News

Groove Line Records series of officially licensed disco / funk 12' reissues continues with two incredible cuts from the Nu-Yorican Soul/R&B/Jazz singer-songwriter Angela Bofill - 'People Make The World Go 'Round' and 'Under The Moon And Over The Sky.'

'People Make The World Go 'Round' sees Bofill and her producers at GRP Records (label heads Dave Grusin and Larry Rosen) take Al Bell and Linda Creed's classic 1972 smash for The Stylistics firmly on to the dance floor. Taken from Bofill's second LP for GRP, 1979's Angel Of The Night, Bofill, and pianist/arranger Ray Chew take 'People...' into an up-tempo jazz/funk realm, central to which is the propulsive off-beat and dynamic, driving funk bass line. Chew decorates the groove with deft horn, string and keyboard parts that match Bofill's urgent, forceful interpretation of the lyric, while bright Latin percussion is added to the chorus's and even more so during the instrumental passage from 1m40s. From there Bofill and her backing singers chime the title refrain over the magnificently named Tinker Barfield's incessant bass line to the track's close at just under four and a half minutes.

'Under The Moon And Over The Sky,' the opening track from Bofill's 1978 debut for GRP, Angie, is an expansive deep jazz composition penned by the singer herself which brings to mind the music of Jon Lucien. Revealing Bofill's jazz roots this 5m43s track is strongly influenced by her Cuban father's musical background. Complex percussion and the song's challenging structure exemplifies Bofill's song-writing talent. Initially dextrous keyboards and flute drift over the Latin percussion before Bofill delivers her sophisticated, poetic lyric which subtly rises over the arrangement. In the mid-section Bofill shows off another talent, scatting along with the flute and percussion in majestic, shimmering style before bringing the track to a close by revisiting the tile refrain, and leaving the listener breathless.

'The Light' is the first taste of the weird world created by American vocalist Craig Louis Higgins Jr. and French composer Marc Nguyen Tan. Marc is best know for recording under the name Colder for Trevor Jackson's OUTPUT in the 00s. 2016 see's him back after a ten-year hiatus with two records, the Save! LP and a new Colder one called 'Turn Your Back'.
Forthcoming on Les Disques De La Mort, Save! mines similar terrain to David Lynch's surreal landscapes.
Marc's collaborator Craig Louis Higgins Jr. was born in Cape Cod, MA. He has released his debut album '336 W 17th St.' under the name Mutado Pintado and is also known for contributing the wry vocals to acid house outfit Paranoid London, featuring on their 2014 self-titled album.Like Higgins, Tan is also a painter and video artist. Although the pair only met in person recently, months after establishing Save!, the project is well served by Tan's background as the solitary creative force in Colder. Just what Higgins and Tan are here to save is anyone's guess. It's a name that implies much yet remains elusive and misleading. That's the way the pair prefer it.The debut 12' release comes with a remix by Hivern Disc's Marc Piñol. B1 of the 12' sees Marc re-edit the track under a new moniker Judy Vs Save!, while Les Disques De La Mort boss Ivan Smagghe contributes an edit for side B2.

2 italian disco/boogie/funk edits by Trent.

Back once again with the renegade masters, To Rack & Ruin romp on, bringing ill behaviour and dance floor damage wherever they go.This twelfth instalment of the heady edit series sees Mancunian maverick Neil Diablo invite The Rejected and Que Sakamoto to tackle a side each on this floor flaying four tracker.
Italian newcomer The Rejected may be a man of mystery right now, but as soon as you've copped an earful of his body shaking A-side, you'll be stalking him like an ex on Facebook! He kicks off the set with the tumbling toms of 'Gambling In The 70s', a feel good groove which leads the conga line on a precise path between parmesan and taleggio.
Making expert use of percussive breakdowns and reverb heavy rests, The Rejected revels in the cruise ship orchestration and camp euro vocals without ever letting the pecorino overpower the pasta - buono! Leaving the glam and glitter of the A1 behind, the Italian edit maestro takes us deep on A2 offering 'Lucky Lucio', working a low slung bassline, wah guitar and hushed psyche vocals into a slow burning funk bomb perfect for the warm up or post peak. Additional synth work and a dynamic arrangement light make this wonky wonder stand taller than the Tower of Piza, taking the dance floor on a tile-eyed trip from start to finish.
The B-side belongs to Japanese disco kingpin Que Sakamoto, who takes a break from rocking the decks with Psychemagik, Crazy P and the ALFOS crew at his legendary Huits Etoiles club night in Tokyo, to bring the party to your turntable. 'Mr Moonlight' makes an instant impression, slicing some familiar piano chords over a squelching funk guitar and propulsive bassline to get those fists pumping from the off.
As the track progresses, the producer introduces star gazing synth licks, psychedelic solos and a chugging groove blasting us into a distant dance floor dimension. We've barely caught our breath from that unbridled ecstasy before Que freaks us out again, dropping us headfirst into the full blooded funk of 'Salut Des Frangines'. Powerhouse percussion and heavy duty wah guitar take the lead here, blazing bright over tasty organ licks and rumbling bass, before dropping out completely for an fx heavy breakdown in the second half. So dope you could smoke it!
International and unstoppable - To Rack & Ruin Volume 12 ladies and gentlemen.

Release no.4 on Omena LTD is a special one.After delivering a whole jar of tasty tracks for Sleazy Beats Recordings, Boogie Cafe and Banoffee Pies in 2015, Bristol's Admin a.k.a Adam Wickens waved the magic wand over his sample library and put together three new ones. Spirit Boogie you say Yes, it's a beautiful thing.

Dystopix comes 3 years after the last Neud Photo record and the wait was well worth it.Things have gotten darker with this release. Elegant craftsmanship, subtle but effective vocals whisper throughout, and as always, it's Cybotron influence is clear.
The tracks flow with an eery cohesiveness, making it Neud Photo's most well told story to date. The hard part is figuring out whether the story is fiction or (soon to be) reality. These 6 electro hits can easily be enjoyed either chapter by chapter (songs for the mix or dancefloor), or as a whole (for bedroom listening). Mastered by Rude 66 First 60 copies include a handstamped photo insert.

Brazilian Shakedown is back!
The second release in this series brings you a collection of outstanding mixes by Rio de Janeiro's own Carrot Green.
On the A Side you'll find 'Ponto Gira', which already is an underground anthem in Brazil. The traditional chanting, combined with CG's super groovy production will certainly also smash the European dance floors this summer. Good vibes galore!
Straight after there's 'Movimento'. In this tune Carrot Green transforms roots music from the North-East of Brazil into an intense dance track, which mesmerizes with its passionate vocals and violin played in peculiar unison.
The B Side takes off with a heavy nu-disco remix of 'Mariama'. The acidic bassline, calling vocals and wide synth-chords will make you feel like flying over the Brazilian seashore. The final destination of this journey leads you to the bass heavy 'Capoeira', where the classic Berimbau and hypnotic call-and-response vocals get dirty over a stomping groove.
Badaross, who lives in the Streets of Sao Paulo created the cover-artwork for this release.

Following his participation in the SchleiBen series last year and his recent collaborative release with Wolf Muller on International Feel, Cass. returns with his new explorative solo album, Youth Sessions.Niklas Rehme-Schluter aka Cass. has been making a name since the aptly titled Loops and Farewell Sketches debut appeared in 2013. Collages of soundcaped textures, his music has progressed via a series of cassette releases. Recommended by Jan Schulte during a visit to Dusseldorf, the inclusion of 6 near ambient pieces for the label's SchleiBen albums were a highlight of the series for many.Succeeding this summers The Sounds Of Glades mini-album with Jan (as Wolf Muller), Youth Sessions sees Cass. expand his solo works beyond ambient and kosmische defines towards a more whole encompassing ouvert.Mixing field recordings, percussion loops, samples, Cass. now adds vocals to build and layer with a warmth and glow - evoking long overlooked, but sought feelings. Moments, glimpses of something new yet known. Tracks like Jelli, U and Prismatic Prolog create tension towards The Chase / Holding On, before peaking with the anthemic Ann and outwards again.
Leaving us with the refrains of Space Talk and Your Beautiful Look Is Looping Endlessly In My Head, Cass. progresses his music and also, Emotional Response too. A parallel journey to an end still unknown, with that rush of yearning and hope, a youth that may never of existed, but still for a short time, feels recaptured.

He is back with yet another classic! Winter Tones is one of them nasty, jacky house grooves, topped with emotional synths and a hook which is pushing the inner-soul. Fred Everything manages again to provide a timeless EP of this music we call love. On top the incomparable Tuff City Kids also known as Gerd Janson and Lauer delivered two raw underground remixes just the way we love them. Enjoy and keep on jacking!

STATUE is a live percussion based dance project, the brainchild of Melbourne drummer Tom Gould. Over the past five years he has honed his craft in cult Melbourne bands NO ZU and Worlds End press but now greets the dance world under the moniker STATUE. After featuring in last years Beats In Space - best of the year list with his debut 12", his second EP 'Monument' is a reflection of the human and a testament to dance floors both indoor and out. MONUMENT further establishes STATUE as a fixture in Melbourne's dance music culture, constructed for both warm afternoons and the sweaty early hours of Australian summer.The EP traverses multiple tempos, between techno, house and tribal percussion, creating a world of warm percussive dance floor odysseys arriving parched and thirsty for more at it's aural peak, Monument. The expedition ends with an expansive remix by Disco Halal king pin and recent ESP Institute alumni, Moscoman.

Last AVA. release in 2014 comes from labelhead Damiano von Erckert himself. Well known for fresh collaborations von Erckert links up this time with Chicago based soulful house legend Peven Everett. After a very successful year and a lot of hype around his name, von Erckert keeps movin' forward with 'MICKEY M. AND THE MARLBORO MAN' and represents the AVA. sound in its roots. Groove, dance and a big smile.Damiano's and Peven Everett's collaboration 'All about lovin' me' shows the connection and similarities between those two guys: Soul. Von Erckerts '4 O' Clock. You Are In A Club Mix' of 'All about lovin' me' is much more danceable and darker then the original version. House groover 'Diamonds and Girls' is released on this EP as well, which is on heavy rotation worldwide by lots of DJs and friends of AVA. We're very happy to welcome Max Graef on this release joining the AVA. family, who's responsible for some of the most influential jazzy house sound of Germany the last 2 years. His remix of 'All about lovin' me' is just another proof of his big talent. A big year for AVA. and von Erckert.

After two well received releases on Optimo The Junto Club return with their debut EP on brand new label Snap, Crackle & Pop, born of the London club night of the same name. The A side features two slices of dance floor ready post punk from the Glasgow four piece, throwing references from everything from Suicide to Weatherall. On the B-side Khidja's remix teases out the disco groove before growing into a monstrous acid house inspired freakout in its second half, paving the way for the Ivan Smagghe & Cross version which delves even further into acidy motoronic beats.

The Mystic Jungle Tribe are back, this time inspired by the lush island of Capri

The Violet Hour is the exclusive project of Panorama Bar resident Massimiliano Pagliara and Michael Greene aka Fort Romeau, for Berlin imprint Cocktail d'Amore Music.
One Morning In The Future takes over the A side. A total dancefloor pleaser. Treating us with Chicago house-inspired drums and that kind of cosmic pads that make any seasoned raver jump and kiss a nearby stranger. The intensity never stops growing - with new melodic strings appearing unexpectedly, projecting the track to the rings of Saturn.
An involving italo-classic bassline characterizes Ultraviolet, together with an explosive layering of synthy melodies. The B2 Prisoner Of Love is a seductive dialogue between synthesizers and classic piano, resulting in a comforting, romantic soundtrack for any space travels. These two tracks illuminate feelings of looking at a violet sky, but with different attitudes: the first pushes into the unknown looking for a happy ending, while the second is nostalgic and tender.
The Violet Hour is an evergreen example of contemporary man-machine lovemaking.

Lux Exterior is the long player follow up to Sordid Sound System's debut EP In A Year Of 13 Moons (INVINC 04) which came out last year garnering plays from the likes of Andrew Weatherall, Manfredas, Mr TC, Mutant Disco and Krossfingers.
The new record features 6 tracks once again recorded during overnight sessions in Glasgow's Green Door Studio utilizing several beat up analog synths, two Roland Space echoes and the studio's Tascam MS16 multi-track tape machine.
Lux Exterior is an eclectic body of music arising from what its producer describes as 'a series of musical collisions and vocal experimentations'.
The record begins with the motorik hypno drama of The Baron, followed by the post punk dub psych of Scratch and then the sprawling widescreen Technicolor of the title track. The B-side opens on the floor of a cosmic discotheque with Der Mond and then works its way through the minimalist -voodoo swamp funk of I Walk On Splintered Gilders before closing with the unhinged synth dancehall styling's of Keep Your Head.
300 copies only (with download card).

Two more classic cuts get the re-edit treatment from Shield.
Played by Carl Cox & Nic Fanciulli at the Space Ibiza closing party.

The 2nd single release of Alex Bank's debut album - Illuminate', like its predecessor features the inimitable Elizabeth Bernholz. - A matter of time' is an electronic dancefloor ballad. Shuffled kick drums and soft arpeggios make for a laidback groove while a warmly distorted analogue pad and corresponding bassline push the track forward into club twilight.

The record comes packed with a straight 4/4 remix by Frank Wiedemann of Ame and Howling fame, which unexpectantly evokes banging acid techno and its newer re-definitions. This is an evil Janus-head of an EP or should i say expect a brilliant Jekyll on A1 with a huge portion of Hyde on the Bside Either way, this record is definitely bipolar and gives you two for one.

Making his RNT debut here is DJ VAS with a wide-reaching quartet of edit styling's.
Originally a member of pioneering French-touch group Kojak, Vas' seasoned production approach really shines through on this package, whether in the blistering groove of Wizard Funk, the classic boogie of The Moment, the dub reggae styles of Alright, or the smooth-as-silk Cream. There's truly a bit of something for every party on this 12"...Cop it and rock it!

Limited edition 7" upfront release of Tony Momrelle's cover of the Donny Hathaway/Robert Flack classic 'Back Together Again'. Produced by Reel People and featuring the beautiful vocals of Chantae Cann.

Limited colored vinyl repress of this classic EP from this French project (not to be confused with AEROPLANE on ESKIMO) for MATHEMATICS 20th anniversary. Total of 4 tracks mixing disco, house, and electro...all with a decidedly French smoothness. Be quick!

*Isigude (pronounced - e-see-GOO-de... meaning bird of paradise) is a newly founded record label based in Athens, Greece.
For our debut release we have dug deep into the archives of Greek Jazz fusion to unearth and reissue some obscurities from the catalogue of esteemed composer Michalis Rakintzis. Rakintzis should need no introduction to Greek ears, widely recognised as a celebrated composer and lyricist since the 1980s with his career taking in more than 20 personal albums, numerous singles and several high profile collaborations. His composition 'Arrest', lifted from 1988's OST to the film "Lifelong" was selected and included on the hugely popular Greek music compilation "Into The Light" in 2012.
For Isigude's first 12" vinyl release we draw our focus to the 1987 track 'I don't believe' featuring vocalist Eleni Dimou. "I don't believe" combines pop, rock and eastern melodies and feelings and sold more than 100,000 on it's original release.
Featured here in remixed form by up and coming greek producer Zaq (a.k.a Img_02) the original composition is reimagined and the result is a low tempo dreamy, balearic Disco burner with Dimou's lyrics expressing her disbelief in love, beautiful moments, oaths and sacrifices, with her requesting to be set free.
A truly beautiful and tasteful reimagining of a lost rarity, the perfect way to launch the label.

REPRESSED !!
NU YORK GROOVE SESSIONS drops a hot collection rare boogie funk, jazzy disco and classics taking it back to essence of the Sound of New York. There's a definitive cross section of flavors giving you a look into the late 70's and early 80's.

This retrospective compilation highlights five years of existence for the french label Cracki Records, featuring Renart, Voiron, Agar Agar, Caandides and more.

"Get on down" is a heavyweight slice of storming Jamaican Disco-Reggae heat from the legendary studios of Miami's TK Disco empire. King Sporty's version may not have been as well known as Connie Case's electro laden later 1982 version (also produced by Sporty) but the perfect marriage of Disco stylings and Sporty's Jamaican roots meant the original 1979 version was a cult classic in underground deep Disco circles.
Over 35 years since "Get on down" was released the keepers of the TK Disco vaults have given permission for some of their classics and lesser known gems to be respectfully tweaked by contemporary producers and DJ's who fully understand the lineage of the label and the music contained within.
Stepping up and get his hands dirty is none other than London dwelling, WOLF music man - Medlar. A regular face behind the turntables all over the world Medlar has lovingly freaked King Sporty's anthem for the modern dance-floor, extending the right parts in just the oh so right way, dubbing out parts that needed just a smidgen of echo here and there and generally making the track irresistible to DJ's with it's lovely long beat led intro. These are extremely tasteful edits, done with respect and reverence over 2 parts - old school style. Look out for those low flying dubbed out vox and lazer beams too, powerful stuff! This is only one of many underground Disco classics that the mighty Miami based TK Disco label brought to the world, reimagined for 2016's dance-floor, officially sanctioned in conjunction with Henry Stone Music / TK Disco. File under - Classic / Essential!

We are absolutely thrilled to present Larse's first EP on SUOL. This man from Dortmund has a long list of fantastic releases to his name, with originals and remixes on great labels such as DFA, Defected and Eskimo, to name just a few, as well as Beatport number ones, a BBC 'Essential Tune', one of the most influential German club music radio shows to date, a gold record, you name it... needless to say we are very proud to welcome this outstanding producer to our little SUOL family. Larse's trademark style is eclectic, smooth and soulful yet very danceable, which is just the way we like it here at SUOL, and this EP is no exception.
We kick things off with 'Wanna Be Like You' featuring Lisa Shaw on vocals. The touching lyrics combined with Lisa's beautiful voice perfectly complement the track with its lush harmonic synths and dreamy delays on top of a solid foundation of crisp kicks, hovering hihats and drawn out bass notes that will give you goose bumps. The instrumental track 'Connection' goes deeper. Driven by a fast, modulated synth stab and an irresistible shaker groove, this one just builds and builds. Carried by a classic moog bass line, it initially focuses almost entirely on a straight four on the floor rhythm before opening up with a triumphant harmony and finally giving the mesmerized dancers the claps and offbeat hi-hats they will so desperately be craving by then.
Did we mention Larse used to be a Hiphop DJ Well, it certainly shows in 'Kind Of Culture' which sports an oriental vocal sample that is transformed so delightfully it might as well be Q-Bert himself manning the cross-fader. Pairing up this ridiculously hooky cut with the funkiest of House grooves, a hypnotically straight melody, cheeky claves and tons intricate details to feast your ears on whilst getting down, here is a sure-fire dance floor winner to complete this magical EP. 'On Canvas Pt. 2' will follow before the year is out. We can't wait!

OCH has a strong pedigree of collaborations with fellow underground stalwart Jay Bliss the latest to share space on a Autoreply record with the label boss. Bliss should be known to many as the co-owner of Electrique Boutique alongside Markus Homm, for a long time the only vinyl outlet in Romania, and his discography makes for impressive reading these days. Recent times have seen Mr Bliss share record space with the likes of Skudge and Petre Inspirescu on respected imprints like 20:20 Vision, All Inn, Hudd Traxx and Fear Of Flying. AUTO 015 kicks off with a bouncy rework of OCH's "Scammell" from Bliss featuring sub-aqua sound-scapes and sonar blips on an instantly playable US inspired groove. OCH's original has a distinctly liquid approach possibly referencing the work of LTJ Bukem and Good Looking over techno framework. Jay's main offering "Men Are From Mars" is sexy controlled acid which OCH shifts up a gear for peak time floor-play layering the original TB303 patterns to thundering climax. Road-tested on Eleven Club, Tokyo's Alpha System's custom speakers.

Joey Negro's tastemaking and scene defining disco-house label Z Records is proud to announce its next full-length release, namely a debut album from Sean McCabe entitled 'It's Time'. It's an LP that bucks the modern trend and shows up many of its peers by being one that is made of wholly original material, sounds and ideas, rather than one that leans on tired and classic samples.

This lush and musical 12-track affair is Sean's first big solo project and it has been in the works for almost three years. Written mostly in his Bristol studio, the LP features a wealth of international collaborations - Jennifer Wallace, Diane Charlemagne, Renn - and has been made primarily on real hardware such as the Fender Rhodes, SH-09, Juno 106, Poly 61, JV-1010, EMU Vintage Keys and the Moog Slim Phatty. Sean who has been producing since his teens and includes fine labels like US garage staple King Street Sounds, Defected, Strictly Rhythm and Local Talk in his discography says of the album: 'It was important for me to get it perfected to my original vision, and to keep that vision throughout was difficult. I've literally drawn inspiration from everything that's influenced me as producer and writer over the years. I always wanted to create something that demonstrates all my tastes in soulful dance music which can be influenced by so many sub genres like Hip Hop, Disco, Jazz, Soul, Deep House, US garage etc. The NuYorican Soul album has always been a benchmark for me in terms of a perfectly constructed album and is something I never get tired of listening to.'Those influences shine though in this fantastically musical and deeply considered album: it bares all the hallmarks of a proper full length that has been built from the ground up with fantastic arrangements, catchy vocals and real song structures.

'Everything's Alright' opens the album in glorious style, with retro-tastic and sing along vocals, well defined and authentic house production and plenty of feel good chords. From there, there's skipping and soulful house like 'Something About You', diva vocal cuts like 'Holding On' and blissed out dancepop nuggets like 'Tomorrow's Another Day'. The good vibes continue from start to finish with many highlights along the way, such as the sultry and seductive deep garage house of 'Want Me' and classically inclined joys of 'Love For Life'. The production values are sky high on this album, and though it might have been a long time in the making, it was worth it, because it categorically proves that now really is Sean McCabe's time.

Marshall Applewhite gets on the house tip, going all Andres with the sampler, feeding in soul & library records, and laying over raw four-to-the-floor beats.

New edits series kicks off w/ Daniel T's "Mystic Thought", his homage to an old DJ Harvey edit; Silver Rider's "The Way", an uptempo, disco nugget, Elvin Tibideaux's "Don't Stop", & JP Source's left-field "Running Late". Stamper WL

After impressing with his debut album, 'Buy The Ticket, Take the Ride', on Tsuba last year, Magic Feet label boss Craig Bratley is back with a hot new EP on his own label that features tracks by Unisexl Audio Club, Beato Cozzi and the man himself.

Since 2014's LP release, Bratley has been remixed to great effect by Ewan Pearson and has continued to take his machine made, darkened disco sounds to clubs and festivals around Europe.

His sound is robust and analogue, has come out on labels like Andrew Weatherall's Bird Scarer and Is It Balearic and now for the first time arrives on his own Magic Feet, a label that has showcased sounds by Timothy J Fairplay, Antoni Maiovvi and Tommy Awards amongst others.

Up first here is Unisex Audio Club with 'Event Duality,' an elastic, low swinging, mid tempo track with frazzled synth lines, pixelated melodies and lots of dark energy. Flabby bass adds serious weight to this most arresting affair.

Beato Cozzi offers up 'Killer ', which comes on like a long forgotten Italo B-side, a chugging rework of a solitary 1990 chart hit that sounds all the more resplendent for its rainy alien melodies, extra visible and twinkling chords and invitingly laboured drums.

Then comes Bratley with the first of two cuts. 'Photons' is seven minutes of loose and lush house music with arcing pads, feel good chords and emotionally swollen melodies. It's the sort of breezy, al fresco tune that would sound great at a boat party and shows a more tender, vulnerable side to Bratley's work.

His second, 'Analogue Voodoo', is a slow and sparse affair where futuristic synth lines, apocalyptic drums and darkened spoken word snippets all conjure an unsettling, industrial mood. It's a fresh sounding cut that is destined to stand out on any dancefloor.

This is another fine offering from Magic Feet that offers disco lovers of all shapes and sizes something to explore and enjoy.

Gay Marvine presents Bath House Etiquette Vol.3.
1 Anxiety into Ecstasy

A clever take on a peak moment for the dance floor, fusing pieces of Chicago's classic "Street Player" (it was such a small space in time, I never knew what I would find, a musical path for all to see, anxiety into ecstasy) with the classic beats of The Bomb! which famously sampled the original for Henry Street in 1995.
2 America
The Bomb goes boom says Prince in this ecstatic take on "America" found only in parts from the 21 minute 1985 12". Guaranteed to pump your dance floor into madness.

Freshly detoxed after an addictive inaugural release from Beranek, Olsen offshoot Dansbar is back, blowing the cobwebs off another hit from the lesser thumbed pages of the Norwegian songbook.

Freshly detoxed after an addictive inaugural release from Beranek, Olsen offshoot Dansbar is back, blowing the cobwebs off another hit from the lesser thumbed pages of the Norwegian songbook. With Bobby Spice, Bjorn Torske and Rune Lindbaek all joining Terje backstage, you can guarantee we're in for one hell of a show.

Our star is Frode Holm, a Norwegian renaissance man who introduced Oslo to bell bottoms and two-tone sofas, prog noodle and wigged out jazz-rock before diving headfirst into Silicon Valley's 1980s PC boom. Thankfully before the AWOL audiophile joined Flynn and Tron in the Grid, he did hit the studio and lay down the criminally overlooked pop masterpiece '.Login'. Boasting the best of disco, jazz, rock and new wave, as well as housing our beloved 'Fotspor', the kaleidoscopic stylings of '.Login' should have topped the charts - but with a solo Phil Collins at the height of his powers, the timing was all wrong. Thankfully the Olsen family are here to put things right with a much needed release of 'Fotspor' 2.0.

Borrowing a little extra load from those friendly guys at CERN, Terje turns on the hardware and powers out a pair of supercharged dance floor reboots on the A-side, in disco and dub form respectively. The disco mix shimmies into view on a killer Compass Point 4/4, firing out celestial sequences, Supernature keyboards and mirror ball guitar while Holm's aspirational vocals soar way overhead. Tropical synth riffs turn up the temperature and blazing horns offer bursts of sun kissed colour while the star grazing synth solo blasts us into distant dance floor orbit. On a dub tip, Terje takes us on a glue sniffing groove mission from Oslo to Kingston - Rio to Romulus. Space Echo and Bucket Brigade Delay clothe the funk guitars, clipped horns and chattering monkey drums in a nebulous haze, spiralling off around the sound space as we deck out the love boat in true Carnival style. Stand still to this You may as well play hoopla on a unicorn's horn.

As we skip to the flip we say hello to Oslo edit machine Bobby Spice, who rearranges the original into a loose and limber funk freestyle complete with cocktail sipping crowd sounds, balloon rubbing bassoons and seesawing organs. Shaking a yuppie leg in conga line with 'Club Tropicana', 'Wham Rap' and 'Chant No. 1', this wine bar banger is the finest lifestyle choice you'll make all year. The ever intrepid Bjorn Torske takes the reins for the B2, rolling a barrel of monkeys into studio A and locking the door for the next seven minutes. Those percussive primates make light work of the master tapes, pulling the original apart and reassembling it into a sunset spectacular awash with croaking guiro, tropical bird calls and spaced out slap bass. A masterpiece of disorienting dub disco, Torske's echo heavy remix should sound perfect in the sweat and swelter of a midsummer dance floor.

If you dig on the digital you'll love the syrupy sway of Rune Lindbaek's sloppy cosmic rework - a mid expanding trip born out of rattling percussion, 'I Feel Love' bass and swirling milky way magic - and a right to the point radio mix from our main man Terje.

Phil Collins can keep 1981. 2016 belongs to Holm CPU and his bell bottomed grooves.

Another killer release from the essential re -edits/rarities label Moton.Number 39 brings us three more obscurities lovingly edited by label head honcho Diesel with the funky as hell Feels So Good leading the EP. Kicking off the B side you will find a great Latin version of Ian Dury's Wake Up, then rounding off the EP is Discomora classically cut and spliced to perfection for your dancefloor pleasure.
