House Vinyl New Releases - News

Third 'Disco Fruit Sampler' release is here. All-star Disco Fruit artists once again : Hotmood, Mitiko, Loshmi and our new member, veteran from South Africa - Brian SNR. Disco Fruit offers up a suitably juicy re-edits, tasty revisions and sun-ripened reworks. As you'd expect, there's plenty to get your teeth into from start to finish. Hotmood, Mitiko and Loshmi offers their already well-known unique style for reworks from '70s and '80s blended in Nu Disco music. The last one by Brian SNR is original song called 'Wanna Kiss You'. Great Nu Disco track, sang and played by Brian himself.

Like any good party, there's an after-party. What, you didn't think we'd keep it going? C'mon.

We began this one with Jacques Renault's Sky Islands, a full-length album that sought to achieve euphoric disco delight within a wonky conceptual framework; it's his late-night live DJ sets in spirit, organized like a 70s or 80s vinyl megamix or public-access radio program, but comprised solely of a couple dozen originals he crafted in the studio, most of them being wrapped up during the summer and fall of last year.

Of course, we realized delivering such an experience, where no “song” is more than about 90 seconds, would do nothing for the working DJ, unless the working DJ is looking to nod off for thirty or take an extended bathroom break. Thus, Coast to Coast, a 12-inch that collects seven of the songs from the LP—in full- length, special-disco-mix, club-ready form.

This EP will be followed by more long-form cuts, as well as additional goodies. There will be an after-party for the after-party.

Limited edition remastered reissue of a killer italian boogie classic! And one of the most sought after release from the now defunct "Eyes Records". It contains the additional Dub version found during tape transfer.

4 cuts from 5 champions of the nu-disco and edit scene with French inspired homages, latin peak time shufflers, electronic old school stompers and slo-mo set starters all present and correct. Something for all the family!

DJ Support: Fingerman, Hotmood, Andy Buchan, Paper Music camp, Get Down Edits

Best Record Italy came out with another obscure italian disco record from 1977. This 12" release contais three solid dancefloor funky disco burners like 'Body, Body Love' (unreleased Disco Version) and on the B side : 'Please Touch Me' and 'Sleep' from the Billy Woost Album.

New York City record label, Studio 54 Music, has dropped their debut original produced single, 'Heart To The Ocean’, set to release on October 2nd following their critically acclaimed first release, Night Magic Volume I, a 4 track compilation EP of classic Studio 54 disco anthems, reimagined by some of New York’s finest players in the modern disco scene.

The new release is a marriage of various generations of New York; produced by critically acclaimed Manhattan producer, Greg Cohen, features 20 year old Long Island bred rising star and prospect vocalist, Gabi Sklar, and is all under the umbrella of the 2020 disco music authenticator, Studio 54 Music. The track was mixed by Belgian dance music legend, Kris Vanderheyden, who added the final touches and thump to the record.

As a leading producer pushing the disco sound into the modern dance scene, Greg Cohen has made waves in the music scene as DJ Cassidy’s production partner, producing hits in collaboration with CHIC’s Nile Rogers on tracks ‘Kill The Lights’ and ‘Calling All Hearts’ featuring Robin Thicke, Jesse James, and members of Earth Wind & Fire. His music has been featured and synced on Netflix’s ‘The Get Down’, HBO’s ‘Vinyl’, and ‘Michael Jackson: Searching For Neverland’. Kris Vanderhayeden is known as a pioneer in the Belgian electronic music scene, and also has produced number one hits for Janet Jackson and Blondie, to name a couple.

As disco continues to stand at the forefront of today’s pop culture with releases by Daft Punk, Dua Lipa, and DOJA Cat, ‘Heart To The Ocean’ continues to feed the modern disco trend, and is a testament to Studio 54’s Mission in 2020: to take the culture and antics of the famed disco club that helped push the culture, and embody it into it he modern disco sound.

The track is tied smoothly together with Sklar’s sultry voice that is resembling but unique to Lana Del Ray, who she credits as a key influence with other female pop singers like Dua Lipa, who she describes as ‘bad ass women’ that drive her, and help inspire her inner edginess and sexiness with a heavy emphasis on confidence.

Be on the lookout for future Studio 54 Music releases that will further celebrate the sound in many forms from pop to indie dance to more underground leaning dance music. Studio’s debut release, Night Magic Vol. I will also be released on limited edition gold vinyl in mid-October.

The Disco imprint also plans to launch itself as a lifestyle brand with a new website, line of merchandise, and is excited to announce the Studio 54 Night Magic exhibition at Brooklyn Museum is reopened until mid-November after getting postponed from Covid-19.

With a pioneering catalogue that boasts releases from artists such as Kenny Dope, Frankie Bones & Lennie Dee, Joey Negro and Joey Beltram, Nu Groove records was one of the key labels in establishing the NYC house sound. However, it was the brothers Rhano and Rheji Burrell who were by far the most prolific to release on Nu Groove. The Utopia Project is another alias from producer and creative genius Rheji, whose four track EP ‘Intuition’ makes the latest release on the revamped Nu Groove imprint. A sublime house package spread over four unique tracks, ‘Intuition’ kicks off with joyous, 1980s inspired ‘A Better Day’, followed by the slick groove of ‘You Don’t Know What To Do’. On the flip we’re greeted with the boogie-filled ‘With You (Anytime, Anyplace)’, before Rheji takes us underground for closing track ‘La La Land’, a guaranteed dancefloor mover. A masterclass in classic house from one of NYC’s most heralded names, ‘Intuition’ is another record collection essential from the Nu Groove camp.

Repress

Finally the first ever repress of the legendary Disco Hamam serie is now available! still Vinyl Only! The flagship release of the disco hamam series, including some of the edits that made Baris K’s Eurasia mix trilogy series compulsive listening.
The EP revives rare and hidden 70s Turkish disco, folk and psych classics, blending the golden era sound of Anadolu Pop with nu-disco style edits.

Romanian two-piece Karpov not Kasparov have dropped their new EP ‘Memory’, out 18th June on Disco Halal.

A five-track release, ‘Memory’ opens with the sunkissed, synth-driven vibes of ‘Except For Bears’, ensuring the EP commences with some cosmic disco energy. Next up is the hypnotic, computerised sounds of ‘Fool’s Mate’ and otherworldly synth oddity ‘Les Pions Sont l'Âme du Jeu’, before the title track and recent single ‘Memory’ sees the Bucharest duo delve into psychedelia-laced outsider pop territories. Things are then closed out with an instrumental of the same track.

Valeriu Borcos and Eduard Gabia aka Karpov not Kasparov describe what they do as ‘a musical game of chess between synthesizer and drums’. As well as releasing music on the likes of Fleeting Wax, Karakter Records and Local Records, the Romanian duo also incorporate an analogue visual artist and contemporary dancers into their live performances, resulting in a theatrical show and a kind of real-time soundtrack to the action around them.

Encompassing elements of downtempo, new-wave and alternative pop, stitched together with a leftfield dancefloor throb, the Disco Halal back-catalogue, filled with efforts from the likes of Polocorp, Budakid and Moscoman himself, has seen the imprint rapidly emerging from the once-overlooked nightlife and club scene of Tel Aviv into the worldwide spectrum.

An intriguing and experimental release, Karpov not Kasparov’s first EP on Disco Halal sees the duo bring exciting new sounds to the revered label.

Next up in the series, we debut a powerful dose of 4 essential floor killers that have been reimagined by one of the baddest DJs we’ve ever witnessed.

SIRS drafts in one of his good friends, the unquestionably talented Lovebirds, to provide the latest SIRSOUNDS Recordings edit EP, swiped straight from the beaches of Bali.

Three tracks that exude a sense of summer that’s been stolen away, best served with a tequila sunrise in one hand and a Wray & Nephews chaser in the other, because well… haven’t you been reading the news?

Dancefloor tested, when dancefloors were still allowed. Finally these all killer, no filler tunes are seeing the light of day.

Proud to announce the first vinyl-only release of Rythmē, the Turin queer party made with the effort of all of his lovers and dancers. The A-side opens with “Tomorrowasteland”, an open question about the dancefloor of tomorrow – a dystopic stomper with ready-made and punk attitude. Hard Ton served a luscious waterfall of synths on their original take of Fabrizio Modonese Palumbo’s song while Matteo Coffetti “Kelakitun’s Pipe” explore an exotic imaginary with an Indian touch. Last but not least, an original track of Barabbah closes this heavyweight vinyl with a sunny and techy stomper. And yes, inside the sleeve there’s also a download code for a Rythmē exclusive and digital only edit…

Larry and Bell are two musos from the east and west of the Atlantic, who met on a scuba trip in Belize in '99. Larry plays Bongos, Bell is on the organic sampler and echo pedal, and a local cast of musicians backed them up on Guitar, Double Bass, and Kick Drum. After a few Rum Daiquiris and many spliff, these are the sessions whittled down to strictly the best of hits.

Fuga Ronto's second release Greatest Treasure is a musical journey exploring different kinds of territories by blending elements of synth funk, dub, fusion, new wave and ambient with household noises, reverb vocals and quotes from movies to adventure games. Out of playful recording sessions the Zurich duo Schweizer and Shiller created songs with track names that read like movie titles. The treasure quest begins with a tongue-in-cheek intro before the title track kicks in. It’s all about exotic boogie with adventurous lyrics and voodoo magic. The rhythm guitar, percussion and multilingual chanting driven single „Falling Star“, lures even unathletic feet onto the dancefloor. "Columbo De Domingo“, a rolling instrumental based on a four chord sequence creates an illusional staircase moment. The tracks on the B-side guide towards slower and dreamier attempts. "Mirror To Water" builds on swaying synth pads that lead up to a laid-back song with breathy male and female vocals over a shuffling drum beat. It’s epilogue "Wobble In The Pool" sticks to the mood and takes the sounds further into dubby lands. The closing chapter "Mystery Of Zambio" is a delightful two- parter. Nostalgic melodies take the lead at first to be replaced by chords and a choir in the second part, until they dance away into the fade-out. Maybe a hint for a continuation of the story? One would hope so.

Version Galore is a newly found label, deeply rooted in the music culture. We bring you the selected reworks / versions from the top producers in the game, showing lots of respect and care for the original, but elevating it's spirit and taking it somewhere else. It's all about the dialogue of cultures and the idealistic desire to pass the music legacy on! No half-measures, played-out tunes, lazy cuts, or boring "808-kick boosting" biz!

K2 is an alias of someone who you should be very familiar with by now, especially if interested in quality house music. No clues He the music legend from Baltimore, one of the most versatile and technically-gifted DJs on the scene, a master of CDJs, who singlehandedly restored public's interest in gospel music with his ultimate dance bomb "Work It Out". Still Hesitant Ok we'll help you - it's the one and only Karizma!

A-side is a pure fire-starter! One of those tunes that works perfectly in any surrounding, location, context, club. Here Karizma flips a version of a certain African-American work song, which catchy refrain just seem to resonate with anyone, while the rough dirty beats with the cheeky start/pause technique destroy the dance floor! Essential party tool!

On B-Side the maestro travels in time to grace us with a retro-futuristic workout on the edge of jazz-fusion / prog-rock & Italo-disco. "In Spite Of" is a peculiar, yet beautiful combination of hypnotic chord progressions, step-sequenced synthetic bass-lines, the virtuoso dialogue of electric guitar and electric violin (yes), spiced up with African percussion and forceful beats, all working together in harmony in accordance with the intricate time signature of the song! That's Karizma at his most Balearic!

Recently, legendary American dance producer Arthur Baker discovered in his storage, 2 cuts on 1/4” tape ’Reachin’ & ‘Good Good Lovin’ he recorded in 1979 that for some insane reason have never seen the light of day. He asked Hifi Sean if he would be interested in doing something with them. Within one play Hifi was blown away and brought on board Yam Who? and they quickly got to work resurrecting these soulful disco anthems.

The main cut featured here ‘Reachin’, with Minnie Gardners fierce vocals (think Loleatta Holloway), just needed some modern day dance floor energy. Salvaging the useable sections of the tape that were not worn through time and 2 weeks later they bring this percussive disco monster back to life. ‘Good Good Lovin’ complements the A Side nicely - less bump but more room to groove. It’s a stone cold classic with glorious instrumentation courtesy of Arthur & Co.

Philly’s DJ JAZZY JEFF debuts on TERRY HUNTER’S MIRROR BALL RECORDINGS with the funky soul & disco drenched 7 inch “EVIL". The release is an amazing flip of EARTH WIND & FIRE’S 1973 release with JEFF’S swinging drums & piano melodies incorporated. Major support from dozens of deejays!

Re-issue of this italo disco rarity from 1984.

Swinging back from the disco heavens, London based Tropical Disco Records return for their fifteen volume, a milestone record, spawned from label founders Moodena and Sartorial, and joined by two newcomers.

Moodena introduces the record, having conjured a piece exclaiming exactly what the title tells us - “Deep Fried Funk”. It’s a consistent theme in Moodena’s work, a functional formula, yet one that’s laced with so much moody flow, exuberant live instrumentation and expert curation, his work alone has made the TD series unmissable.

Next up label partner Sartorial stylishly takes control of proceedings with “Together”. Installing a lush lick of brass, timeless vocals bring together a joyful soiree of vibrant, swish sonic curios.

On the flip, Mexican artist, Monsieur Van Pratt’s “Clavs & Trumpets” presents a purposeful increase in pace on the record. Vintage 70’s disco stabs swirl and dive beneath, you guessed it - clavs, and the most seductive, ever evolving trumpet workout.

Rounding off the record is Colombian duo Vagabundo Club Social, who bring vibrant, West African infused boogie. “Encanto Nigeriano” is all about bouncy drums, underpinned by the most effortlessly tight bass and fervent vocals, certain to lubricate any dancer with maximum effect. It’s a classy round off from a label going from strength to strength.

2x12"
Cinthie marks a milestone in her career this June with her debut album ‘Skylines – City Lights’ on Aus Music. Berlin’s Cinthie has grown to become one of the most respected purveyors of house music, both as a DJ and producer, in Europe and across the globe over the past few years. Through the numerous imprints she’s headed up, her productions, her soul-infused DJ sets and even her own record store Cinthie has become a driving force in the contemporary electronic music scene. Here we see the culmination of Cinthie’s career, which spans more than two decades, pieced together to make up her debut long player, a tribute to all the things that have inspired her over the years, from Chicago House to New York Garage, European rave, Nu-Disco and years of experience behind the booth and keeping dance floor’s moving. Across the project tracks like ‘Houze Muzik’, ‘Concentrate’, ‘Morning In Melbourne’ and ‘Bassline ‘shine a light on Cinthie’s true love, authentic, soul drenched and raw House music. ‘2k Garage’, as the name would suggest, also nods to her love of the UK Garage sound and cuts like ‘City Lights’ and ‘No One Can Take You From Me’ lean towards Disco influences old and new. Further additions see Cinthie exploring new territories for the album format, experimenting with a downtempo aesthetic on opening track ‘Skylines’, textural electronica on ‘Flashback’ and Acid House nostalgia on ‘Calling’ and ‘Horizon’. ‘Skylines – City Lights’ beautifully showcases the life and inherent passion for electronic music Cinthie has, all perfectly weaved together across twelve compositions.

Since slipping out on Leng last year, Paul ‘Mudd’ Murphy’s first collaboration with singer/songwriter David Harks, ‘Susta’, has become a much-played modern Balearic classic, with DJs and listeners alike responding to the track’s attractive blend of sun-kissed nu-disco instrumentation, warming melodies and deliciously evocative lead vocals from Jaanika Leino AKA JaneLy. Now the track returns for 2021 in the shape of two superb new remixes from Chicagoan deep house legend Ron Trent, who four years ago delivered similarly ear-catching revisions of Mudd and Pollard’s ‘Far Away’ as part of the 10th anniversary celebrations for Murphy’s Claremont 56 label.



As you’d expect given Trent’s impeccable track record over the last three decades, both revisions are stunning. He begins by eking every last ounce of soul from Leino’s brilliant vocal on a remix that’s warming, deep and luscious. Combining elements of Murphy and Harks’ colourful, synth-heavy original mix – including the lusciously tactile bassline and boogie-style synth flourishes – with his own yearning chords, hand percussion sounds and a shuffling, samba-tinged house beat, Trent re-imagines ‘Susta’ as a future vocal deep house classic. Melodious, musically intricate, infectious and summery, it’s a remix for the ages. It comes accompanied by a Dub Mix that successfully shows off the intricacy of Trent’s production and additional instrumentation while keeping both eyes firmly on the dancefloor. Beginning with effects-laden synth sounds reminiscent of the mid-‘80s proto-house classics by Paul Simpson, Winston Jones and Boyd Jarvis, the mix sees Trent skilfully add selected snippets of Leino’s lead vocal to a backing track rich in delay-laden synthesizer sounds, reverb-rich chords, echoing percussion hits and chords so warming they feel like a late-night, loved-up bear hug for your ears. Like the A-side vocal version, Trent’s dub is breath-taking and spine-tingling in equal measure.

Burek family welcomes Detroit house don Javonntte into their circle with four infectious house bangers spread across the whole spectrum of the genre. This record has something for each part of the night, from the easy mood setting vibes to soulful bangers and straight up jacking peak time tracks that will make you sweat.

'Tomorrow', the opening cut, is the best example of the latter and the track's vocal sample 'strictly underground' is well earned. This pure head-bang house track will give you a run for your money. A side is concluded with 'Journey', a proper soulful house track which keeps all of its energy in spite of a slightly more subtle approach.

'No One Like You' is the first one on the flip and is a prime example of just how much soul and depth can a house banger have and Javonntte excels here both as a producer and a vocalist. Closing track 'Enter The Disco' is a slower, disco-sampled jam, perfect for that in-between time in the club when the action's about to happen.

Following on from Mothball’s 2018 reissue of the Italo-oddity Fancy – “Null Null”, comes a follow-up collaboration with the maestro Raffaele Fiume. This time a long-overdue reissue of the sparkling Italo-disco duet by Radiators – “I Am Sure”, originally released in 1984.

The original vocal and instrumental tracks are complemented here by an energetic remix from Mario Moretti (known for his trilogy of modern Italo releases on Bordello a Parigi), ready for the club but still respectful to the original composition. To finish off the record is a stripped-back “bonus beats” edit by Hysteric.

Orange Tree Edits enlist the expertise of four deep digger extraordinaires for an excursion into the edit undergrowth. Stomping their own path through the jungle from full frontal Italo to a tribal chugfest, closing out with a slice of sultry French synth pop, Melbourne’s Hysteric, London duo Good Block and Parisian favourite Maybe Tonight take you on an island tour of the good times.

The release is a sublime soulful groover from talented US songbird Angel-A, produced by one of the leading players on the Chicago scene, Rahaan. 'True To Myself' carries a warm deep house vibe teased with jazzy undercurrents, elevated by a candid soul-drenched vocal from Angel-A, whose silky tones speak of self love and integrity. Also on the package Karizma amps up the deepness, injecting trippy beat wizardry and hypnotic key washes on a superb dub version.

New label alert! Magic Bird coaxes Golden Fleece into giving up some quality original material, plus a road-tested eclectic bomb with this three track EP.

Golden Fleece has been making left of centre dance music for some years now, releasing on labels such as Eskimo, Redux and Mixed Blood Cuts.

The EP leads with the truly epic piano houser Keep Doin'It, with it's house piano-heavy riff complimented perfectly with it's rolling bassline and killer synth line, a real gem. On the flip we settle into the hypnotic chuggy dance floor groover that is Shappelle's Boogie, a super-chunky hypnotic trip that keeps on giving! I Love U2 gifts us with the cheekiest of edits that serves as a reminder that dance music doesn't have to be one dimensional. Top drawer.

Heavy Disco return with another healthy dose of feel-good, edit exuberance laced with all that uplifting energy we need to get us through these times. Three perfectly executed re-workings of the highest order, tweaking out all the best from these classic disco, jazz funk and soul cuts. Remember – Heavy Makes You Happy.

Iranian artists matter!

Following on from his beautiful release on Claremont 56 in 2018 - Alterleo aka Denis Leonovich, takes a different approach for this new e.p on the Kinfolk imprint and produces a storming world infused 4-tracker.

'Cabriodelic' is a mid-tempo march that utilises sublime keys, sci-fi ethics and military style drums to incredible effect. 'On The Way' keeps the drums heavy but ventures into a deeper sub tropical technoid-esque landscape.

'Tour De L'Afrique' is exactly that, a jaunty vibe that buzzes and rolls through an unknown afro-centric land.'In Sands' finishes off the package nicely with an acidic heavy Moroccan spiced percussive roller.

Essential music for the truly tropical dance floors of the world.

Calypso enters a new adventure that will embark in a world journey showcasing the sounds of the cities that inspire the label the most. This adventure beggins in Tel Aviv, home of artists such as Red Axes or Autarkic. The first edition includes 4 tracks of new and old producers from this amazing city. Niv Ast, one of our favorites new comers delivers "Rainey Heart" a strong percussive track that is a dance floor garanty. Next we have Rina, another new talent that is making his way throught this amazing scene, delivering the peak time burner "Peppermint Bouquet". Opening the B side heavy weight Naduve gives us "Hex Mex" a track that was done during his special journey in Mexico. Finally, our good friend Middleskyboom closes the EP with a fantastic and mind bending track called "Marbel Arch" with a psychadelic flute that will take you to the jungle.

Tired of reading the words 'classic', 'masterpiece', 'missing link', 'cult', in every press release Just trust us on this one: We have no choice but to use those words and urge you to(re)discover one of the ultimate Afro-Disco lost classics.
How could such a masterpiece stay in obscurity for so long Well, no one knows where N'Draman is. He's presumed dead, and so is Mr Patrick, the label owner, an ex-football player
who turned his focus into fashion after suffering a career ending injury. Selling jeans from an outlet in Monrovia (Liberia), he only ventured in the music business for a short period of time,
releasing a handful of incredible albums on his Cosmic Sounds imprint. The word on the street was that Nigerian legend William Onyeabor was somehow involved with the production of the album, or maybe playing synths on it. Both were inaccurate, although N'Draman Blintch's previous and first record Cikamele, was indeed recorded at Willfilms, Onyeabor's studio. And some of the musicians playing here were also key members in his pool
of session musicians. Cosmic Sounds is many things: Psychedelic, politically engaged, funky to death, full of synths,
with an artwork to die for, a perfect crossover of African and Western culture: Music for the body and soul, Cosmic disco before the genre even existed. Did DJ Danielle Baldelli hear it
Was it ever played by Larry Levan or Mancuso In a pre-internet era, it's unlikely but not impossible. We are extremely honored in carrying the reissue of this gem and have treated the task with
utmost respect: both artwork and audio were restored by specialists, and liner notes were written by Temitope Kogbe, Afro-Funk expert who runs the Odion Livingston label, founded
with legendary producer Odion Iruoje. 38 years after its original release, the world is finally ready to hear Cosmic Sounds in all its glory.

Eros’ Go For It is a fearlessly original take on Paradise Garage disco, mixed in a way that feels equally Mad Professor and Walter Gibbons.

The story of Eros begins in a high school in Vauxhall, New Jersey in the mid 70s when four kids began a friendship based around their mutual love of soul, funk, rock, disco, and bands like Earth, Wind & Fire and Funkadelic. Assanouan G’Bado, Fletcher Gaines, Bobby Jones and Mike Freeman started off jamming after school, playing occasional gigs in New York and honing in on an original sound. When the group graduated, Assanouan and Bobby went off to the service and Fletcher went to university.

Eros reunited in the late 70’s and began taking things more seriously, producing a set of songs with the intention of getting a deal with Motown. The morning after recording a full album’s worth of material, the group flew to Detroit hoping to sign a record deal. The legendary label was interested in the songs, but made them an offer that didn’t feel right for the group. The songs were shelved and Fletcher and Bobby moved on to new ventures.

Mike and Assanouan pursued a self-released single on their own DAP records, reinterpreting two of their Motown demos with drum machines and overdubs to fill in for their two missing bandmates. Go For It was their individual take on disco, and the new 1985 remake took the AOR-oriented demo version, and transformed it into a transcendent dance floor illusion, that, in an alternate universe, would have turned dancers at the Paradise Garage upside down. Similar to Stephen Encinas’ un-classic, the song mutates deftly at the half-way point, opening up into a stripped-down and dubbed-out denouement, adorned in cascading electronics and the soaring vocals of Barbara Green.

Go For It is the first of two releases from Eros on Mixed Signals, and pairs the group’s expanded electronic remake with the original Motown version, rescued from the last surviving demo cassette. Stay tuned for the unreleased demo album Motown missed out on, slated to come out later this year.

First release brought to you by the beLow collective, BELOW001 is a fresh cocktail of spicy house cuts. On this hand stamped piece of wax, each artist brings its own angle on House music, ranging from a hot and funky disco edit to a 135bpm jam oscillating between garage and west-coast leads. In between, you will find some serious deepness and power supported by spatial stabs, killer grooves, and lush vocals.

This deep and energy-packed release will fit pool parties as much as sweaty nightclubs, while enabling a serious living-room dance-off. Don’t sleep!

On the remix album “Beyond Infinity Remixes” danish synthpop/italo disco artist Lucca Leeloo has been working with a wide bunch of prominent remixers. A selection of the songs from the debut album have been reinterpreted and made ready for the club by Musumeci, Italoconnection, Fear Of Tigers, Moon King, Ilya Santana and Marcello Giordani (Marvin & Guy).
