GAMM150 is here and it's a big one.

Rahaan is back on GAMM and this time with his buddy DJ Emanuel with some nasty (!) post punk/funk disco.
The A-side runs down a timeless Garage classic...but with a gritty twist.
The B-side is just sex, orgy and disco crammed together on black plastic. Imma Phreak is just...phreaky!

The Sunset Manifesto erscheint am 04.12.2020 auf How Do You Are? und versammelt eine eklektische Gang von der Westküste der USA bis nach Norwegen und allem was dazwischen liegt- mit einer gemeinsamen goldenen Wurzel: Diese warme, akustische, aus Laurel Canyon Leuten und LA Session Göttern bestehende Clique, ausgestattet mit einer zeitgenössischen, elektronischen Sensibilität. All diese Acts berühren den zurückgelehnten, Daytime Disco-Style, der als Balearic in die Musikgeschichtsbücher eingegangen ist. Aber es liegt etwas Neues in der Luft. Die Künstler*innen auf The Sun Manifesto versuchen nicht einfach die Vergangenheit neu aufzurollen. Nein, das hier ist mehr „Parallel Pop“- und damit der Soundtrack für eine herrliche, imaginäre, aber dennoch zeitgenössische Welt jenseits von Retro-Kitsch. 16 anspruchsvollste, AOR- und Dance-orientierte, zeitgenössische Popsongs aus dem Too Slow to Disco-Universum. Wie ein Detektiv hat DJ Supermarkt die Künstler*innen auf dieser Compilation lange beobachtet, ihr Schaffen verfolgt und dann im richtigen Moment Nägel mit Köpfen gemacht. Worauf wir dieses Mal ganz besonders stolz sind: Alle Tracks auf The Sunset Manifesto sind exklusiv und unreleased und wurden teilweise extra für unsere Compilation gschrieben, was für eine Ehre!

K-Noiz presents the 2020 versions of the Italo Disco hit “Pretty Face” (over 400,000 copies sold in over 20 countries) with five new versions by Andrea K, Joe Mangione, Diego Mates, Daniele Ippolito and Sweet Suite and with the original voice of Alberto Styloo. This record marks Alberto Styloo’s “return” to dance after a period of work on different genres.

Whether you know these tracks or not, you'll fall in love with them for the first time, or all over again.

Hot electro and neo-high energy synth-disco on the DISCO DISCO debut album of anarcho-electro-punk duo Fivequestionmarks & Produkkt from Rome. Fivequestionmarks is a DJ and singer with a dark and heavy style who effortlessly assembles industrial, acid, and EBM into wild raves. Together with Produkkt they literally rock the disco with their sharp productions, reminiscent of the synthwave and electro-pop of the eighties with a raw punk edge. On DISCO DISCO, Fivequestionmarks renders the surrealistic, political, and profound lyrics in her distorted voice with a dramatic Italian touch. Very much in the vein of Miss Kittin & The Hacker and Adult. Recommended!

East Village Edits series is back with Jacques Renault (Let's
Play House/Runaway), Eric Hass and Dj Monchan. Can’t miss.

Giorgio Records is an independent label whose purpose is the rediscovery of some Italo Disco tracks that have never been reprinted to present them to the new generations who love the genre. The Mad Work musical project with the song A Night Alone is one of those. Italo Disco gem of the mid-80s now available in vocal and instrumental version and enriched with Casionova Edit and Flemming Dalum Remix.

REPRESS !

Ethel Beatty is an artist from New York who primarily worked as an actress in theatre, appearing in Broadway musicals. She appeared in “Dreamgirls”, “Sugar Hills”, “Bubbling Brown Sugar” and (with Gregory Hines) in “Eubie”. Her most significant recording is this double header with writer/producer and master of the vibes Roy Ayers on Uno Melodic Records. While both songs have been reenissued on 7” and compilations over the years, it is still the 12” people that people want. Rare original copies have sold for £500. “It’s Your Love” is co-written by another soul jazz icon, Dee Dee Bridgewater, both tracks having that Roy Ayers vibe that makes this record extremely sought after by rare groove fans. Both tracks continue to be endlessly sampled on the hip hop and r&b scenes

Afro Funk, Disco and Boogie: West African Disco Mayem!
Soul Jazz Records' new Nigeria Soul Fever is their first release to explore the vast wealth of Nigerian music recorded in the 1970s. The new album comes with introductory sleeve-notes by Bill Brewster (author of Last Night A DJ Saved My Life).
Packed-full with Afro-Funk, Disco and Boogie all from Nigeria, this triple album/double CD set brings together a stunning collection of diverse West African sounds. Whilst a small handful of the artists featured (Joni Haastrup, Tee Mac, Christy Essien) have seen the light of day outside Africa, this is essentially a collection of killer tracks by an array of artists completely unknown outside of Nigeria. Artists such as Don Bruce & The Angels, Akin Richards & The Executives, Angela Starr, Jimmy Sherry & The Music Agents. It's no surprise that these records are extremely rare and expensive to buy individually so this album will save you going broke trying to find them.
These recordings were made at a time when Nigeria's trade restrictions banned imported records. Whilst new musical trends (such as American soul, funk, disco etc) entered and influenced the country, the local music scene remained just that - local. Consequently, these recordings remain practically unknown to anyone outside of the country.
Nigeria Soul Fever is released as triple-album vinyl + download, double-CD digi-pack and digital download. This album follows on from Soul Jazz Records' 1960s collection Nigeria Freedom Sounds, released last month, and will be followed by the reissue of the incredibly rare and groovy Nigerian 1980 disco boogie funk album Tee Mac's Night Illusion.

In demand massive South African disco banger from 1979. Now reissued for the first time on the Afro Synth imprint.

Disco Bits are back with another party time 45.
Cannon & Mirrorball are in the edit suite once again re-touching and consensually grappling with funky old 70's grooves and late nite club accapellas to bring you the heat that your record box has been needing.

A - Hot Lovin' (Dont Stop Dont Quit)
On side A they they serve up some peaktime Studio 54 realness mixed with a bit of late 80's style hip house.
This is Cerrone meeting Sergio Mendes uptown, Saturday Night, whilst Chali 2na and his posse bumrush the show and grab the mic.

B - Shack Attack !
On the flipside the boys funk it up with some never fail drum breaks from the Disco Shack, vocal snatches of a houseparty classic and a swathe of brand new instrumentation.
The result is a jam is so dope you'll get a contact high by un-sleeving the wax.

Ain't no party like a Cannon & Mirrorball party, y'all !

Get 'em while you can.

Following his “Cosmic Sands” cassette on Light Of Other Days, Greg D debuts “Ocean Walk” under his new alias, GEE DEE. Recorded in 2019, the EP marries ambient, dub, and house influences to create an enticing body of mid-tempo magic. Using limited hardware 505, Juno 6, D50, and a Space Echo the four-tracker bears a hazy vibe throughout and pairs simple drum programming with sun-kissed synths and hypnotic bass lines. Whether dusk is upon you at your local cafe bar, or the lights are down in the discotheque, GEE DEE delivers an array of leftfield bumpers that will fit just about any mood. Coming 2020 on Superior Elevation Records.

Quattrovalvole is the future/past/disco/drive project designed by Joone and Miss Zagato. Four on the floor Italo-disco, glossy 80s new wave pick us up in this afterdark lifestyle EP. The title track ‘Into the Night’ is a curb crawler’s seduction. Dedicated to the leather hand-notated black book, our dial up lover calls with arpeggiators demanding, then teasing like feathers over the phone. Big chords push us to drive fast, ready for what we long for.

B-side ‘Too Many Lights’ squeezes us, just what we need when broken glass is swept up from the disco floor. Tame drums and retro claps dictate, as the chords are stargazing with Miss Zagato’s vocals. They preside over the party, with potions of bliss and intoxication, we are invited intimately into this dream life.

Joone’s ‘Into The Night’ remix takes us into the future, driving at the wheel of an alcantara suede upgraded Ferrari 308 Vetroresina. The layers of well-informed 80s synth wave sends us into another dimension.

These are three high class disco tunes with real song craft at their heart.

A lost UK boogie gem from 1982 / Brit Funk era, recorded by singer Tony Crockett and Ralph Lewars' band "Pastiche" !

All in their early to mid 20's and born in London of Caribbean descent. The group were short lived, working on material for just a few years with the "Queen of Hearts" 12-inch being their only release. The track immediately demands the listener's attention with it's jazz piano, thumping drums, heavy bass, guitar licks and laced with funky flute, synth stabs, spacey sound effects, then dropping into soulful silky vocals and slinky rap - bringing together this killer boogie groove. Now finely re-issued for the first time by Diggers Dozen, giving this incredible rare record a more deserved chance to be heard and loved!

A killer and essential head to head, back to back repress 7" right here.
2 versions of this alltime, evergreen rare groove in one place, fully legit, remastered and repressed just for you.

'90% of Me Is You' is widely known and loved, oft sampled and searched for high and low by soul aficionados and music lovers across the globe.

Vanessa Kendrick's take is a breathier, sweeter affair. A ridiculously rare 45 to obtain and boasting a $500+ price tag too. Recorded a year before Gwen McCrae's and arguably the original version, hence it's top billing spot on the A-side. Obviously, Gwen McCrae's version is more widely known, and it is astoundingly good. Her sultry and yearning vocals complementing the lush arrangement and tough backbeat drums in a different way. Obviously both versions bring something to the table in their own respective ways, with our 2 fabulous vocalists channelling different feelings and different moods, but they are both simply amazing and worthy of a place in any self-respecting music lovers stash. Flawless.

Licensed and reissued with the full involvement of the Henry Stone Music group for 2020. Featuring original classic Galdes label artwork.

The seventh (!) volume of high class reworks from rising star Young Pulse is here and it's a banger !.
With a mixed bag of jazz-funk, early 80's boogie and high energy disco there is something for everyone here.
But we really wanna give the A side track 'Bobo's Reason'(Willie Bobo) an extra mention...proper full on summer jazz-funk with a slight disco edge. Feel good material.

A singular group of ?experts? issues a notice of extraordinary urgency in the vicinity of various atmospheric phenomena, which are partially localized and, above all, of high intensity. Yet the sun shines with strength over the Neapolitan favela. ?Allerta Meteo? is the first album of sparkling sonics by The Funkin? Machine Collective and the newest release of Periodica Records? Pegaso Series, comprising a cross-section of jazz and funk sounds, with bright colors that are good for any season, whether rain or shine. The voice of Andres Balbucea - the binding soul of the opera - is supported by the unmistakable flow of Speaker Cenzou during the vibrant ''L'ora d'o Groove'', accompanied by the performances of Roberto Porzio on the synthesizers, Alessio Pignorio and Riccardo Betteghella on the guitars, Vincenzo Lamagna bass guitar, Andrea De Fazio drums, Paolo Bianconcini on percussions, and the extraordinary participation of Pietro Santangelo in the cinematic ''Django'' and Jeroen Verberne on Trombone in ''Rafiki''. An authentic wave of warm notes destined to overwhelm the most observant listener, the first hour followers and all the citizens.

Sought-after disco / funk / boogie album from the US, 1978!!

Pro-sounding recording with top level musicianship and perfect sound quality, comparable to any other major album of the time (think Love Unlimited Orchestra!).

Mixed by Disco legend Joaquin J. Lopes and featuring brothers John & Rocco Giamundo. Mostly instrumental with superb arrangements (string, keys and even the Vako Ochestron on one track) and surprising occasional fuzz/effects electric guitar.

Originally released as a promo album in blank sleeve (now impossible to find) on the band’s own Artemis label, it was subsequently issued in Belgium (under the Reverie – Get Up And Dance title) and Japan, both housed in picture sleeves.

Including club / rare-groove classics like “It’s True” (compiled on “Under The Influence Vol. 2 by Paul Phillips), “Get It On And Dance”, “The Way We Were” (a disco-symphonic version of the Barbra Streisand movie hit) and more…

Here’s the first ever reissue featuring new artwork (based on the band’s original idea for the intended but never finished US cover) and master tape sound.

All Is Well ist zurück auf Drumpoet Community, nach dem Überraschungserfolg seiner Fragments EP, die 2018 released wurde. Hinter seinem Alias steckt immer noch ein Mysterium. Obwohl das Geheimnis nicht allzu gut gehütet ist möchte der etablierte Producer das Projekt „All Is Well“ frei von Wertungen und Erwartungen halten. All Is Who? All Is Why? Listen with your ears. Listen with your heart. All Is Well. Isn’t it?

Here is a special record for the disco fraternity. Pressed in a limited quantity of 300 copies only.

Chicago veterans Rahaan and DJ Emanuel have teamed up for a remix project for new label “Yams n Rekkids.” Reworking this collection of classics, the pair brings a reimagined take on disco era dance floor staples with Rahaan’s trademark minimalism and punch. In 2021, these mixes shine a light on much of what was missing over four decades ago.

Side A side contains a session remix of “Burnin’ Up,” a UK dance-pop crossover from seminal vogue performers, Imagination. With stems derived from a combination of the original 1981 mix and 1983’s Night Dubbing album remix, “Up In Flames” is a combination remix of a remix bringing to light a different side of Leee John and company’s original concept.

Side A also includes 1976 Motown disco classic “Love Hangover,” by Diana Ross. Only this time it’s not actually Diana on the track! Expertly crafted, DJs Rahaan and Emanuel’s “The Cure” excerpts Diana while bringing to the forefront a mysterious background vocalist to helm the lead. The result is pure dance floor magic.

Across the entirety of Side B is a dubbed out 1978 groove from female P-funk phenomenons Parlet. Originally known as “Pleasure Principle,” the “Lucky Starships” remix remains close to the integrity of the original composition, while bringing to light that which has been buried in the original mixes.

Remixes From The Dungeon is the second project from DJs Rahaan and Emmanuel and the first of many for nascent label Yams n Rekkids. Primed for the dance floor, these songs bring a Chicago take on dance music history,

New 7” disco shot funked up by Vito Lalinga on Legofunk
Records. 100% pure groove!!

British flavor for this brand new 7" from Legofunk Records with
an impressive action! Poetry edit over the epic music…

The italian project Zero Call produces pure Italo Disco with perfect brushes of ebm- infused retro synthwave. Punchy snares, pulsing basslines and dramatic synths behind monochromatic female spoken vocals. Including the main track “Stellar Wind” + 2 remixes by Technobeton and Arkademode + 2 recovered tracks from his past discography. All tracks have been specially remastered for LONG CUT vinyl by Daniel Hallhuber at Young and Cold Studios.

Classic electronic disco album from 1978 freshly repressed for 2021.
Pressed by Unidisc, Canada 2021.

Still hot after his successful debut on Toytonics (garnering support from the likes of DJ Harvey, Fouk, Mark Farina, Llorca, Glimmers, Lobster Theremin & many more) mysterious MAGOU has decided to break free from label ties and go solo on this new EP, which features 3 nonetheless of major geniuses of our time. First off Umberto ECO, the renowned cultural critic and novelist, is featured on an acid disco number (here in a vinyl-only extended mix). On the flip side, legendary Argentinian writer Jorge Luis BORGES tops the funkiest track of the century, period. Italian maestro Ennio MORRICONE is homaged on the 3rd track, which combines 303 sequences with cinematic choirs and Japanese city pop samples. This is all great but... who is hiding behind the name Magou?

After 4 Years Promoting Events And Spreading Happiness All Over France, It's Time For The Lyon Based Crew To Extend Its Artistic Vision Through Their Own Label. If You've Already Been To One Of Their Parties You Know What To Expect. If Not, Look Forward To The Happiest Vibe Around !

Washington collective, The 3 Pieces, privately-pressed Iwishcan William on their own DL Records in 1982. The 12 has Discogs, for one, confused. Is it soul, rap, jazz, go-go, funk, electro, or educational? By nature of its birthplace and date of birth, it`s all of those.

Synths shimmer in harp-like glissando. The bass grumbles, rumbles, machine-made. The beat pops and locks. The whole thing grooving and exuding positivity. One part the cosmic funk of say Cloud One`s Patty Duke. Another, the balearic chug of Will Powers` Adventures In Success. Like Brother D it looks to “agitate, educate, and organize”, and stirs in the sentiments of Razzy`s I Hate Hate. Imagine if the Last Poets jammed with sister Sarah Webster Fabio. Keys parp like car horns, a real trumpet blows a Don Cherry solo, but the track really revolves around its sweet Sesame Street call-and-response chorus:

“I wish love. I can love. I will love. I am love.”

Swiss gentleman DJ and Phantom Island resident, Lexx, produces a killer remix - smoothing out the OG`s jerky edges, upping its sophistication. Making clear the contributions of Lexx` new bubbling electronics. rescuing a clipped guitar, previously lost deep in the mix, and moving the children’s voices to the fore. Ensuring you’ll remember that

““I am” is the glory of a wish come true.”

Idjut Boy Dan Tyler then ties up the package, well he actually kinda sends it out into space - expanding everything in echo. NYC Peech Boys-esque delay. The result is a mind-blowing, psychedelic, almost ambient, Larry Levan-like, Paradise Garage dub. Where fragments of song fly at you from four corners. Trippily pan from left to right. The horn blasts now paying tribute to King Tubby`s Hi-Fi. François Kevorkian going bang!

All carefully mastered with love from the original master tapes by Sam Berdah at The Wall studios.

After one and a half years of extensive research we are exhausted but ecstatic to present to our fans and critics the third volume in the "Can You Feel It?" compilation series. This time our journey leads us through various musical styles, originating from countries as diverse as Barbados, Guyana, Germany, and the US. But the one quality these tunes all share is that they, once again, will make you get up, get down, and get ready for some more highly underrated MODERN SOUL, DISCO and BOOGIE!

SIDE A: Compton Hodge, originally from Georgetown, Guyana, South America, recorded his self-released debut 45 "I Wanna Dance" in 1978. Some 2500 miles up north in New York, Kip Carmen, of Montauk Indian descent, put out "Stampede" two years later. Right next to the Canadian border in Detroit, Michigan, the Vernon brothers were doing their thing as Monofide in 1981. Just like the latter two records, original copies of H. Andrews & Company's 45 are super easy to find. Alhough they may be easy to find, it is still up to us to elevate them to 'Tramp Records' status, therefore these three quality cuts have made their way onto our CYFI 3.

SIDE B: Recorded one year prior to their never-released "A Distant Star" album, Teakwood's "Can You Dig It?" has developed into a certified Rare Groove classic. The contribution of Parnassus is quite obscure as is "Take The 'A' Train" by Hot Cakes while Third Stream is best known for being featured on "Praise Poems 2".

SIDE C: Our absolute favorite track on this album is by blues singer (James) Van Buren. Released on 45 in 1983, "Bronco Queen" with its positive and uplifting vibes will certainly put a smile on the face of all our listeners. "S'port City Rock" as well as "Turn It Out!" (previously unreleased!) are boogie-funk specimens at their finest, which, without doubt, will set any dance floor on fire! JAVA released their one and only 45 in 1983. "Say Wah Choo Mean" was the b-side which could explain why the song is still relatively unknown in boogie collector circles.

SIDE D: ...starts with a track from Barbados. Ivory's "Warm Love" is a wonderful composition just as is "So Trusting" by James Kelly Duhon (featured recently on Praise Poems 7 along with another great song). The band Nature from Germany delivers the feel-good love song "She's The One" which has a similar positive vibe as "My Woman, My Woman." The album finishes with the sexy "Feel-In" by Florida's The Unit III.

So there you have it, 17 obscure but brilliant Disco, Modern Soul & Boogie grooves of which all but one song have not been compiled anywhere else. We sincerely hope you enjoy our guided tour back into the late 1970s and 80s Disco era.

One year has passed since the man who fell to earth left us as a black star. David Bowie was one of Jean Claude Gavri's all-time heroes, JC pays tribute to the man in this special one off release of his classic Let's Dance remix, scheduled for release on Bowie's 70th birthday.

13 years ago, while Jerome Derradji was Djing in Liverpool, he was approached by a young lad named Andy Ash.

Andy handed Jerome a CD. It was so great that all the tunes ended up on “Carnival De L’Spirit”, his (now legendary) debut D12” for Stilove4music.

In the last decade, Andy has been releasing critically acclaimed House and Disco 12”s on some of the best labels on the planet such as On The Prowl, Delusions of Grandeur, Dessous, People Must Jam and many others.

Finally on March 29th, Andy will drop “Not At Home”, his first (official) full length on Still Music.

In more than a decade, Andy’s production has matured and evolved. It is now more sonically subtle,
superbly arranged and it seamlessly brings you straight to Detroit, Chicago and New York with the perfect blend of Disco, Garage, Acid and House.

“Not At Home” is a fantastic DLP with 6 songs that showcase how much Andy has mastered his craft while staying true to his roots. This is how real house music sounds like.

To top it off, Andy, who is also a fantastic painter, created his own artwork which perfectly matches his music. (Fans of Keith Haring will not be disappointed….)

With “Not At Home” Andy demonstrates incredible maturity, creativity and talent.

As usual, this release is limited to 500 copies on vinyl.

Leoparden dive into the summer with the warm, lovely space anthem "hoyt oppe" and the dancing synth-disco groove "Lopebass" on the B side.
