Pop & Rock Vinyl New Releases - News

Felix Dickinson's superb CYNIC label

With around one release a year, we couldn't ask them to fit more into our company motto of quality not quantity !
Yet looking back over their short but illustrious catalogue, it's clear they're only releasing keepers

So, having dropped the superb 'From Dusk 'Til Dawn' recently, the guys seem keen to continue down Freeway 303 to Acidsville !
Mysterious newcomer Jamie Blanco displays a clear skill in assembling the kind of raw, atmospheric late 80's Chicago House so close to our hearts -
the kind of late night jams which can just as easily roll in and out of string drenched Disco cuts as they can moments of strobe-lit intensity.

Beautifully executed, and another sureshot from Cynic !

Defining the remix for those who followed: from Walter Gibson through Masters at Work to Harvey!

Here's some more disco ammo from MDD.. "Me For You For Me" may be based on a classic, but the crowd reaction when it was played at a recent warehouse party shows there's certainly still life in the old dog yet. John Luongo thought he'd nailed it when he put the breakdown before the verses Pff.. what verses

Mystery Meat is back! Following a hiatus since last summer's double-sided whammy release courtesy of NYC disco dons Jacques Renault and Lee Douglas, 'Pump' b/w 'Got To Find A Disco', the top secret edits label returns with the Bicep boys in tow. And what a return it is! Bicep have been making serious noise over the past several months following their auspicious debut on the Throne of Blood label in late 2010. In the months since, they've gone on to remix Domino Recording's Blood Orange, Tal M. Klein (a known associate of fellow Mystery Meaters Nick Chacona & Anthony Mansfield), and LA upstarts Cosmic Kids, and their follow-up EP2 is currently doing the damage on discerning dancefloors the world over.

The Strut label returns with a brand new vinyl edition of one of the imprint's most in-demand series, DISCO NOT DISCO, exploring original anthems and rarities from the world of reactionary 1970s post-punk and leftfield disco.



With the original two compilations released at the turn of the decade as a new wave of bands like The Rapture and LCD Soundsystem drew on the music's influence, DISCO NOT DISCO has since been adopted in its own right as a term to describe a whole genre. The compilation is more timely than ever in 2011 as a reference point for a burgeoning mainstream scene.



The new edition moves from New York classics by Konk and Bill Laswell's Material to early Detroit machine music, Belgian New Beat and a healthy dose of UK originals from Shriekback, Quando Quango and more on seminal labels like Y and Factory. Watch out too for rare gems from unexpected sources including Japanese electronic pioneers Yellow Magic Orchestra and '70s prog collective Isotope.



DISCO NOT DISCO is packaged in a deluxe 2LP Gatefold with featuring sleeve notes by Bill Brewster, author of 'Last Night A DJ Saved My Life', extensive track by track notes and rare photos.
