Pop & Rock Vinyl New Releases - News

Red hot limited reissue of this super-rare promo 12' from tiny NYC disco label Are 'n' Be Records. Mixed by the legendary Morales and Muzibai (M & M Productions), this boogie masterclass from 1983 grabs you from the off with its super-funky bassline, tight double handclaps and compulsive cowbells before Andrea Stone's dreamy falsetto vocals jab funk shaped holes all over the heady groove.
Flip over for the mind-blowingly tasty dub mix, a big favourite of many in-the-know disco DJs and hugely in-demand since being one of the standouts on Dmitri from Paris' Nightdubbin' compilation.
Pure class - miss this at your peril!

After a great response to their first two releases, the secret society called Balearic Blah Blah continue to dig deep for number three pulling out secret outtakes and unexpected forgotten classics from their extensive collections. First up is 'Day Off', an uber-Balearic cut sounding like a Jose Padilla-era Cafe Del Mar classic or maybe a warm-up track for Alfredo or Leo Mas at Amnesia in that heady summer of '87. Next comes the brilliant Dub To Me', a Compass Point Studio creation mixed by Robert Palmer and surfacing for the first time here on vinyl. 'Pull Dub' on the flip is another heavy Compass Point gem - an unreleased Larry Levan outtake, with crazy dubbed out guitars and synths lacing the Paradise Garage classic. Lastly we have a great extended version of a long-lost New Romantic floor-filler from one of the UK pioneers of electronic music - one for lovers of the Greg Wilson/Trevor Jackson sound. Limited edition.

Brand spanking new edits imprint Same Speed celebrate the sound of the samba in 2016 in a very unique way. Searching out the more obscure uses of Brasilian rhythms over the past 30 years or so, the boys have dug out two rare treats - one from Norway and another from California - and given them the Same Speed re-touch, aimed directly at the dance floor.

All Same Speed releases are limited, hand-stamped vinyl-only affairs, but also be on the look out for the occasional re-work of more contemporary artists, available for free download as a little treat, to pimp up your DJ sets this summer.

Frisbee is in orbit again. it just landed to bring three individual magic people together. Dea with his casual nature and gift to hear out the unique. Albion with his intention to find all mindriving sounds in this galaxy and spAceLex with the vision of all people dancing together to the sound which is around us. Anybody have his own understanding of music but there is one way we ride together. On this way we found out what to do. Releasing obscure electronic disco from 1977 to 1980 with the special touch of virginity. The emotion and the power these tracks have, is indescribable. Now its time to jump on the Frisbee and slide through the universe.

The title cut "On The Dot" is a straight up disco jam, and it's right on point. "Wharfside" was inspired by 70's yacht rock, and steams forward with sounds of today.

Once again, the Sunkissed camp get it spot on with this loud-pressed 12' collection of Balearic classics from Brazilian songstress Astrud Gilberto. Opens with the original version of mesmerising dancer 'Black Magic', a great DJ weapon that got the Tangoterje edit seal of approval a few years back. Followed by Balearic favourite 'Beginnings', a jazzy take on Chicago's classic hit which spins out into eight minutes of sensual bliss. Turn over for big Daniel Wang play, the obscure LP track 'All I've Got', a glorious low-slung floor-filling gem produced by none other than Salsoul Orchestra founder Vince Montana who also supplies the sublime disco version of the song that made Astrud a household name 'The Girl From Ipanema'. Lastly comes her cool and breezy version of the Bossanova jazz standard 'Agua De Beber'. Beautiful stuff.

After his successful debut album SUPER VATO (CÓMEME CD LP 01) from two thousand eleven, his highly praised mix CD MOMENTO DRIVE (KOMPAKT CD 117) from two thousand fourteen, and all-around mayhem during his adventures as one half of the Pachanga Boys, Xalapa's finest REBOLLEDO returns with his second solo album MONDO ALTERADO: a recollection of moments and experiences from recent years, colorful mnemonics encompassing the brightest and the darkest. The result is a kind of soundtrack for a movie that doesn't exist, a sonic journey designed like a mixtape that faithfully reflects Rebolledo's background as DJ and producer. Nine tracks connect for one overarching narrative, sharing elements, motives, details as they blend together. The artist's signature can be found all over the place, roaming between straight, rock-drenched drumming, sinister atmospheres, raw synth textures, exciting peaks and foggy bottoms - but always following this kinetic flow and drive which is such a big part of Rebolledo's compelling charme.

12' DANCE is a 30 Track compilation series dedicated to showcasing the finest rare original 12' remixes and extended versions of crowd-pleasing, floor-filling classics. From the Disco, Soul, Rare Groove and Funk mixes of the 70's, to the Groove, Hip Hop/Electro & Techno/House of the 80's and the Acid Jazz, Indie, R&B, Rap & Club/House of the 90's, 12' DANCE will deliver a lovingly curated selection of both the commercial big hitters and the underground cult club classics! Many of these mixes have not yet appeared on CD... until now.

12' Dance 80s Pop showcases an essential selection of both the finest & the best-selling 12' singles of the decade, featuring mixes by New Romantic icons such as Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, Talk Talk and Soft Cell, New Wave/Alternative classics by The Smiths, Echo & The Bunnymen & New Order, plus definitive Pop Anthems by Simple Minds, Tears For Fears, A-Ha and Pet Shop Boys.














[bC] CD 2-3 | Howard Jones - Like To Get To Know You Well (International

The CD included in the LP version features the 12 tracks of the album in the same order Short info: Since the release of the album Catapulte' in 2013, media have been used to describing Chevalrex' music as miniature symphonies". For this album, Rémy Poncet, the handyman that plays himself all the instruments, writes his own lyrics and even makes his own cover, has decided to keep the same path but meanwhile, has grown in melodic power and maturity. I finally let my teen life behind, and from now on, offer me some peaks' he sings in Aussi Loin". With this new release, there is reason to wager that Chevalrex will be one of the future pearls that will be used as a reference for those who will venture out on the roads of French Pop.

Following on from the blistering Neil Diablo release, KAT are back with a couple of edits of grand proportions by stem edit master, The Reflex...
First up we have the 1975 gem that is 'Shining Star' as penned by the Earth, Wind and Fire dream team Larry Dunn, Philip Bailey and Maurice White (with production coming from the latter). Here we have The Reflex's own re-vision stripping back the original to bare all it's glory and lovingly stringing it back together using the original multi-tracks and re-arranging to twice the length of the original. BPM locked (so no excuses whilst mixing) and sonically enhanced with mastering done by Roland Schwarz... this one is destined to fly.
Disco Funk Soul Whatever the genre, this crossover beauty firmly works on that all important dance floor.
Initial support from John Morales, Kon, Ashley Beedle, Kev Beadle, Rob Luis, Jay Negron and Craig Charles

On the flip we have 'Love Rollercoaster' - No, not an edit of THAT version but the original one from 1975 by the Ohio Players and taken from their album Honey... Again, Re-edited from the original stems and locked for mixing goodness this one should take a few punters by surprise.

Initial support from John Morales, Kon, Ashley Beedle, Kev Beadle, Rob Luis, Jay Negron and Craig Charles

The very popular Get Down Edits return for the summer with 3 killer reworks. Alongside label head honcho's GDE we have THE LEGENDARY 1979 ORCHESTRA edit machine RAYKO & Australia's very own LATE NIGHT TUFF GUY.

This first release from Parisian crew Deviant Disco, reflects the spirit of their parties and their tastes. Open minded diggers, looking for unknown gems to share, this maxi is aimed for DJs with a wide range of style : from afrobeat to newbeat, or balearic, italo disco, proto-house, with their french touch and sunny vibe, this tracks will make the dancefloor burn.

Even though he didn't invent the concept, Bucharest born and Amsterdam residing, Andrei Idu, or more familiarly, The Legendary 1979 Orchestra has done a good deal of remixes in the previous couple of years. This record showcases his best remixes and dubs. Apart from "Lesson 1 Remix", all tracks are exclusive to this vinyl release.

Starting off the record is the infectious dance-floor filler remix of Odyssey's "Inside Out". The remix was done for the 2011 DJ History Odyssey remix competition. Having received enormous feedback and support, it was about time it saw an official release! The track builds the feel-good instrumental to a vocal chorus driven hands-in-the-air climax. It has been a sure shot secret weapon of The Legendary 1979 Orchestra's DJ sets until now. The second track on the A-side is The Legendary 1979 Orchestra's most successful remix to date. His version of L'Equipe du Son's "Lesson 1" is a warm synth driven piece of the highest quality 80's inspired disco. The percussion and strings fill the track with sentiment. It's been witnessed to melt girls on the dance-floor and make grown men shed tears.

The B-side of the record is reserved for the deeper dubs. First off is an unreleased version of Emeron & Fox's "Dopecity". The Legendary 1979 Orchestra takes the original as inspiration and goes deep with it. "Dopecity Deep Dub" is a journey into emotions and euphoria that would fit wonderfully in those late morning deep house sets. Finishing off the record is a Bonus Beats version of Saint Petersburg Disco Spin Club's "Marwencol". The original and the first TL79O remix of the track were released in early 2011 on the infamous Russian label Shanti. It was actually The Legendary 1979 Orchestra's first official release. The version on the record strips down the remix going even more dub and keeps the ultra-punchy drums in the forefront for some guaranteed head-nodding business.

With each track touching on a different side of underground dance music, this record is a complete guide to the many styles and tastes of The Legendary 1979 Orchestra's compositions. It wouldn't be hard to imagine hearing all four tracks at different times of a perfect club night.

All killer no filler on the new Legendary Sound Research release! We've got a split double A-side EP from The Saint Petersburg Disco Spin Club and head researcher of the label, The Legendary 1979 Orchestra.

SPDSC's 'Nightdriving' sounds like the soundtrack to an early 80s exploitation movie featuring crazy driving stunts! JKriv, of Deep & Disco fame, flips the track into a mid tempo piano driven stomper adding even more action to the scenes.

On the flip side, The Legendary 1979 Orchestra's 'Love Triangle Theme' is the actual soundtrack to the opening scene of the short horror film 'Matasari'. The track is moody and tensed but somehow liberating with its groovyness. Taking care of remix duties is analog veteran Ruf Dug. His take is reverby, atmospheric, sounding straight off a lost proto house tape.

Debut EP from one of house's best kept secrets: Kask!
Don't let the newcomer status leave you doubting, Kask's sound is timeless: the entire EP is a soulful blend of stomping beats and synth manipulations! Thick bass lines and jazz chords hover over beats without being shy of experimentation!
We're sure you'll be "keeping up with" Kask after this release!

Debut LP (with download) from Mayer Hawthorne and Jake One as Tuxedo, who emerged last year with three tracks of smooth, synth-heavy, disco funk, all of which was accompanied by no information whatsoever about the group, except a greeting - 'Tuxedo is here! Stay classy.' 'Do It' official video

Debut single off Daft Punk's #1 album, Random Access Memories. Musically, ''Get Lucky'' is a disco and funk song while lyrically, according to Pharrell Williams, the song is about the fortune of finding chemistry with someone and not just about sexual chemistry.The single has topped numerous charts around the world.

With The Ladies Of Too Slow To Disco' we are taking a look at the women who kick-started the female pop revolution in the seventies. But we are not only presenting the big names like Carole King, Carly Simon or Rickie Lee Jones, Too Slow To Disco is once again unearthing lots of overlooked and lost gems of the 1970s LA music scene.
As ever with Too Slow To Disco, we hope we're moving the needle, reinstating a few unjustly overlooked talents. But above all this is about the music, that vaulting ambition that pours out of these arrangements, lyrics and melodies, all played by the finest musicians the LA scene could muster. So take a trip with us, and round out your picture of a decade. The style is still Too Slow To Disco. But the inspiration and the achievement is all woman.
About Too Slow To Disco These much-loved compilations are the brainchild of Berlin crate-digger DJ Supermarkt the musical luminary who brought J-POP to discerning Western ears back in the late 1990s with his Bungalow Records label and who has been a champion for the re-appraisal of smooth music for decades. Too Slow to Disco Volumes 1 and 2 were both rightly acclaimed as Best Compilation of the Year by Rough Trade records and this sideproject brings together another kick-ass roster of lost pop gems.

Limited reissue of two big Cosmic/Baia cuts from the supremely talented Ghanaian musician Sidiku Buari, reissued here in their ultra-rare original Makossa International Records vinyl format. Both sides of the 12' are equally in-demand with Side A featuring super-sexy disco killer 'Koko Si', a tight bouncing percussive groove laced with lush strings and red-hot female vocals. Turn over for the equally wonderful 'I'm Ready', an Afro Disco monster powered by heavy driving bass, intricate drums and layers of insistent strings, punchy horns and heady synths that keep the tension building throughout. Totally essential Afro Disco classics - don't miss!

Hot new release from Sunkissed Recordings celebrating Italian synth pop hero Mike Francis aka Francesco Puccioni. Back in the 80s, Francis' elegant electronic style and smooth rich vocals provided a perfect backdrop to nights dancing on the sand and in clubs throughout the Mediterranean and his popularity continues today amongst the Balearic cognoscenti. This EP features the fantastic in-demand Club Mix of 'Features of Love', a funky pop-soul opus washed with lush synths, lazy guitars and dreamy vocals plus the sought-after long 12' cut of 'Survivor', a gorgeous slice of blue-eyed soul with a strong dancefloor sensibility. Flip over for big Cosmic play, the magnificent 12' version of 'Body Thrill', a bass-heavy chunky instrumental with an Art Of Noise feel followed by Francis's beautiful laid-back cover of the Bill Withers' classic 'Lovely Day' and lastly the heavenly hypnotic 'On and On', a little-known gem from the B-side from a rare 12'. A great package!

It's quality all the way with this superb new 12' featuring four incredible tracks from Balearic legends Elkin & Nelson. These talented Columbian brothers moved to Spain in the 70s where they fused funk, soul and Afro influences with their native Latin rhythms to create dancefloor gold. Refreshingly avoiding their well known and recently reissued anthem 'Jibaro', this EP instead unearths more obscure but equally brilliant gems previously unavailable on 12'. Side A features the floor-filling Latin brilliance that is 'Abran Paso - Ahoa' followed by the awesome 'A Caballo'. Then on the flip we get the sublimely beautiful yet enticingly groovy full 9 minute verson of 'Vamonos', an Ibiza classic favoured in 80s by the Island's original Balearic DJs like Alfredo and Pippi. Finally rounding things off is in style is the duo's definitive take on the Bill Withers' classic 'Ain't No Sunshine'.
Proper old school Ibiza - Viva España!

Originally released in 1994, Kylie Minogue represents the fun 90s pop acts had in absorbing an increasingly diverse range of influences - from house and ambient to Balearic and R&B. Beloved by perfect pop fans, this is Kylie's most sought-after record, finding a decent copy on vinyl will set you back well over £150.

Signposting another left turn in Be With's 'baffling roster' (Pitchfork), we proudly present this album's first ever vinyl reissue as a deluxe special edition, limited to just 500 copies. Righting the wrongs of its initial release, the album now stretches out over two pieces of 180gram vinyl and is presented in a sumptuous gatefold jacket, allowing the iconic Rankin portraits of an empowered, self-aware pop star room to breathe.

After phenomenal chart success in the late 80s and early 90s with the PWL hit factory, Kylie desired greater artistic freedom and critical credibility. Her move to dance music label deConstruction, and its commendable hands-off attitude, marked this profound shift In thinking and enabled the singer to make the album she really wanted. Indeed, Kylie Minogue is a sophisticated collection of stylish songs that elegantly reference new jack swing, R&B ballads, ambient pop and piano house.

String-drenched epic "Confide In Me" (produced by acclaimed dance duo Brothers in Rhythm) confidently sets the tone whilst "Surrender", a seductive sunset slow jam, unwittingly anticipates the voguish Balearic pop of the past decade. Jazzy pop-R&B groovers keep things moving but it's the masterful "Put Yourself In My Place" - in all its understated melancholy - that stops listeners in their tracks. Widely regarded as her finest downtempo moment, the monster single recalled late 80s American R&B but, having never received a proper vinyl release, its inclusion here is worth the price of admission alone.

Further orchestral ballads, subtly cinematic pieces and minor key house tracks (with the involvement of the Pet Shop Boys and acid house stalwarts Farley & Heller) serve to complete an assured collage of accessible yet resolutely eclectic 'perfect pop'.

In 2016, the new Breakbot version 'one plus one' (Breakbot + Irfane) will release a second album, Still Waters, a new assortment of southern sunrays, with swinging images of dancefloors filled with guys in flowing trousers and bare-shouldered young girls. For this occasion, Breakbot and Irfane followed a well-oiled formula. They each cook-up outlines of rhythms and melodies that the two boys then modify, complete and prolong to reach a final draft. For Still Waters, which also contains 13 tracks, Breakbot have nonetheless tried out a few new moves: unlike the previous album, this one is more of a matrix with intricate workmanship, carved out with the help of old analogue machines rather than softwares. Some of these tracks were also happy accidents from improvisation sessions, ricochets of voices and chords born of old-school jamming sessions. Thirteen bouncy acts with Stevie Wonder and the Motown crowd in the background, spouts of funk and disco on a well-trodden dancefloor. Crafty ideas whipped-up in a vintage outfit with techno vibes and futuristic accelerations creating a perfectly current soundtrack. Tomorrow's retro. With Still Waters, Breakbot introduces its new head along with a new uniform. With the help of art director Philippe Jarrigeon, the guy wearing short shorts and knee-high socks has become a character in a cocktail coloured costume, like a Florida prince. Image on music.

Bruno "Patchworks" Hovart is clearly a name to remember when it comes to modern groove music! Bassist and guitarist in various band, he started production in the mid- 90s and continues today to combine modern technology with the raw and genuine spirit of the golden age of Disco, Funk, Soul, or Jazz.Following the success of his many projects such as Uptown Funk Empire, The Dynamics, Metropolitan Jazz Affair, or more recently Patchworks Galactic Project, he proved album after album, a true gift of musical ubiquity, renewing in all genres and always anxious
to borrow unexpected ways. Back on Favorite Recordings label for this new solo album as Mr President, he finally
provides us with a sequel to Number One (2011), first album with whom he was welcomed and praised by international media and tastemaker (NOVA, Okayplayer, Gilles Peterson,
JAZZ FM, Laurent Garnier,...). Faithful to his love for Disco and Funk from the 70s and 80s, Hips Shaking however differs
from its predecessor by digging more into Pop music, but also by a more elaborate production, with real horn and strings sections invited around Patchworks. However still key to everything and polyvalent, he not only composes the whole album and plays a good part of the instruments, but this time also devotes to singing! From Roy Ayers to MFSB , through Vince Montana and Patrick Adams, or Michael McDonald and Ned Doheny, this Hips Shaking proudly look at the sound and production of the pioneer heroes, while infusing with Disco, Pop, Electronic and Fusion influences, which have made the Patchworks' touch: an authentic sound with a modern approach to music!

RUNNING UP THAT HILL (Heavy Disco Edit) Freshly remastered, this Kate Bush classic get's an airing again. This edit has been a mainstay of many a dj's playlist over the years. It's a deep, throbbing, psychedelic monster groove with added keyboards and efx over one of the strongest edits to have come out in a long time. Essential.

Great new reissue featuring three of the Stones' funkiest and most collectable tracks. Originally released as limited promo 12' versions on the band's own Rolling Stones Records label and now incredibly hard-to-find, these superb tracks showcase the rock gods' highly successful foray into the world of funk and disco. First up is 1976's 'Hot Stuff' which marked the start of The Stones' disco sound exploration - driven by a stupendously funky bassline accompanied by a heavy drum pattern, Mick Jagger breathes 'Hot Stuff! Can't get enough!' - we certainly can't! Next up is 'Dance', the ultra-rare instrumental version of 'If I Was A Dancer' which only ever appeared on the 1981 promo 12'. With brass stabs, DJ-friendly breaks, tweaky animal noises and lolloping basslines, this is seriously killer. On the flip, we have the band's first ever dance remix, the spectacular eight minute extended version of 'Miss You', a hypnotic disco burner with mesmerising harmonica, compulsive guitar, beautifully smooth electric piano and of course Jagger's signature falsetto 'oohs'. A must have for Stones fans and disco junkies alike!

Wonderful remastered reissue of Nancy Martin's 'Can't Believe', a deep Italo/proto house cut from back in 1982 recorded by Canadian producer Domenic Sciullo. Featuring an awesome phat analogue Italo-style bassline, great sexy vocals and an irresistible chugging groove that gets the floor bouncing, it became an anthem in the underground clubs of Chicago, championed by the likes of Frankie Knuckles and Ron Hardy. Released here on the original Neige Records label which features the full length long version of this killer and also the highly useful instrumental version. Essential!

Superb 12' reissue featuring three of Trinidadian soul legend Billy Ocean's greatest dancefloor tracks from the early 80s. Side A features the six and half minute Special Disco Version of 'Stay The Night' - a bass-heavy grooving funk monster with punchy horns and Billy's smooth vocals over the top. Flip over for big Frankie Knuckles play 'Nights (Feel Like Getting Down)', a pedigree jazz-funk cut often considered one of his finest. And last but not least is the long 12" version of the massive disco classic and Studio 54 staple 'Are You Ready'. With every track a guaranteed floorfiller, don't miss this chance to own them all on one loud-pressed 12".

Premium quality vinyl reissue of the highly collectible promo-only 12' 'I, I, I' by unlikely Balearic heroes The Osmonds. First released in 1979, this

fruitful collaboration between the proto-boyband and legendary pop-disco producer Maurice Gibb is a wonderful slab of chugging syncopated cosmic disco rock topped off with lush string arrangements which despite being criminally overlooked at the time of its original release, has recently garnered much favour with Balearic aficionados. Also surprisingly good is the flipside's 'You're Mine', a more 'live' sounding affair, coming across like Steely Dan met Chicago at Studio 54 and hit the studio on the way home. Don't miss!

the original track that has been used for will smith "men in black" !!!

If you were to cut Neville Watson he would bleed acid house, he'd also quite likely knock you flat on your arse for having the temerity to wave a knife at him, but that's a whole other story. For his first WU contribution he ventures down the ethereal proto-house boulevard. Jacking 707 patterns, a bouncing Juno bassline and outer-space synth lines take you into the upper atmosphere for a glorious airborne joyride. As ever, Neville manages to evoke those 85-89 feelings without ever sounding merely retro or like some kind of pastiche, something that many attempt but very few manage to pull off.

Attention, Eurodisco fans! The classic 80's sound is back on vinyl! Bad Boys Blue, one of the most important pop bands of that era, is again available on deluxe edition audiophile vinyl, remastered sound, with high quality embossed sleeves and posters. The first album 'Hot Girls, Bad Boys', released in 1985, features top International hits 'You're A Woman' and 'Pretty Young Girl'.

Messalina Records return with a fantastic EP of eclectic dancefloor bubblers from fellow We Love Space residents Jamie 'Fatneck' Low and Lucci Capri (aka DJ Callum). First up is the eagerly awaited vinyl release of Fatneck's incredible acid rework of Michael Jackson's classic 'Billie Jean', highly in-demand since receiving heavy rotation from Greg Wilson (the only DJ lucky enough to have a copy) who nicely sums the track up..."I love the way Fatneck has put a somewhat psychotic twist on 'Billie Jean' via his acid interpretation - inspired West Yorkshire Wacko madness!" Next up Lucci Capri delivers the quirky Balearic chugger 'Dame Un Beso', with super-sweet Latino lyrics and a great Reggae-influenced swing. Flip over for the beautifully understated 'Because Today I Saw U' which melds a cool deep house groove with Esther Phillips' yearning vocals. Rounding off the EP in style is Fatneck's superb dancefloor-friendly edit of the Aretha Franklin version 'What A Fool Believes'. Great stuff - welcome back Messalina!
