Lakaband & Automatic Tasty – Clownfish EP [MEKA003]

Lakaband is back, this time for a symbiotic EP with Automatic Tasty. The Automatic Tasty’s anemone mix is a spirited and vigorous take on the acidulated languor of the original Clownfish, Lakaband’s smooth track, and the bouncy effervescence of the Irish mogul’s Morning Again meets the casual nonchalance of Lakaband’s track Protandry. With all tracks having been under the well advised mastering supervision of Alden Tyrell, and coming in a pretty limited number of copies, this release will be a nice addition to your collection.

Session Victim – The Haunted House of House [DOGCD002]

Delusions of Grandeur presents ‘The Haunted House Of House’ the debut album by Session Victim. Opening track Dark Sienna sets the mood and serves as a good taster of what you can expect from their highly accomplished debut. We’re talking looped up deep-disco territory here with a lovely mid-tempo rolling groove driven along by open hats and a square wave bassline, lush string sections and dubbed vocal hits all adding heat to the mix.

Juju & Jordash – Jewsex [CHANNEL027]

JuJu & Jordash return to Golf Channel with a bang. A pounding Italo / EBM influenced club epic in three distinct flavours. The ‘Clubsex’ mix traps a Pacman and has it bouncing off a wall of feedback until it locates Steve Poindexter and the Relief records back catalogue, and ‘Dubsex’ drenches everything in delay and 69’s detuned synths.

Elitechnique – Intrusion [CLSS009]

Elitechnique is back with Intrusion, a 8 track ep. The pair (Remco de Jong aka Phako and Florentijn Boddendijk) find an ongoing source of inspiration in disco and electronic obscurities as we’ve learned from their previous releases (which have been played and charted by all the big names in modern disco), but combine this with their fascination for the great 60’s and 70’s soundtracks! The result is a timeless imaginary sound track that adds sex and intrigue to their music and unleashed from the chains of dancefloor productions. On this Intrusion album they take freedom to play around with atmosphere intensity and tension without only focussing about a dancefloor. Both being skilled producers and musicians the result is an album extraordinaire with all instruments and music played, recorded and arranged by themselfs over a period of more then a year!

Uku Kuut – Vision Of Estonia [PPU034]

PPU’s first long-play LP highlights some of the early beginnings of one of our favorite producers, UKU KUUT. Written and recorded at UKU’s home studio in Los Angeles and Stockholm between 1982 & 1989. Some tracks co-written with Maryn E. Coote, famous jazz vocalist who had her beginnings in 1960s Soviet Union. ”That’s my MOM” recalls UKU, ”I remember when I was little, sitting under the mixing board at her sessions”. Growing up in studios, UKU’s love of music production began early, and over the years he has amassed a vast collection of domestic and soviet electronic gear. In true PPU style this LP is a mix of UKU KUUT’s raw cassette demos, forgotten masters and unreleased magic.

Tom Noble – Dancing Hard [CLSS008]

Tom Noble with a reprise 12” of his great Dancing Hard track taken from the Liger Vision debut ep. Mr. Noble is recognized as one of the worlds top diggers when it comes to disco and rare funk. He got some help from his British equivalent Mr Al Kent from Million Dollar Disco fame, who got some help from his buddies Ray Harris on keys and Kev McShane on guitar to craft this awesome remix, or actual new recorded version of Dancing Hard!

Frank Booker – Fall Out EP [SBR10]

Title track ‘Fall Out’ is an irresistible uptempo peak time nugget that cleverly walks the line between moody deephouse and organic disco. Flip over for ‘Boss’, a pearl of a midtempo track with loads of oomph and drive that keeps building and building. On ‘Points’, the closing track of the EP, Frank Booker conjures up an infectious beatdown groove with a killer bassline.

VA – Blackdisco XI [BD011]

DEA/ALBION/SPACELEX - Blackdisco XI (Front Cover)

Blackdisco Volume XI pushes forward into new territory (and with a new aesthetic) by welcoming a group of three deep diggers who shun musical trends and their inherent fakers. Dea, Albion & Spacelex combine their vinyl-mining efforts to unearth some real diamonds from the rough. Dea’s cut Malaka its a floater with a funky sailboat vibe, while his complimentary cut Taubat takes the tired jungle disco vibe to new level with its triumphant synth-led chorus, an absolute stunner that could be extended for 20 minutes. On the flip, Albion spoons water over the coals, steaming up the joint with an uptempo percussion bomb as if Santana had a disco secret, and Spacelex rides us out with a sexy rock groove complete with mysterious male voiceover, almost as if someone lowered the volume to whisper in your ear.

VA – Black Gloves EP [GD001]

https://imagescdn.juno.co.uk/300/CS454213-01A-MED.jpg

Giallo Disco Records presents their first release Black Gloves EP. Between Berlin and Vienna, Giallo Disco Records is a new label dedicated to the sub-sub-genre of Horror Disco. Gianni Vercetti’s macabre soundtracks are presented with lashings of VHS grain. ‘L’Incubo Senza Fine’ is dripping with tension, a relentless kick drum thud like the march of the undead themselves. Legowelt’s remix only adds to this, calling on the sound of his most recent collection ‘The Teac Life’. Antoni Maiovvi’s Rituals Of Lust is a 98bpm dark EBM/New Beat-esque stomper. Retro-space age futurism, battleships preparing for war near the moons of Jupiter. Themroc(k)’s would perhaps be the perfect music for a malfunctioning T-800, demented vocals a-go-go. Dark brooding action soundtracks for a bleak tomorrow.

Nitetime – Jivetalk [FCL073]

Nitetime is the new production duo from Boston, USA comprised of Kon and Whisky Baron. Nitetime’s debut EP Jive Talk sits on a bridge between OG boom bap hip hop – with its tough drums and grooved up interludes – and the 4/4 rhythms of classic house and disco.

VA – Episode 1 – Messier 42 [IT001]

Tracks by Humandroid, Dark Vektor, Antoni Maiovvi & Synthesized. ‘In the interstellar medium are regions known as nebulae, they formed by gas and heavy chemical elements in the form of cosmic dust. Have a significant cosmological importance since many of these regions are where stars are born by phenomena of condensation and aggregation of matter. One of the most beautiful is M42 or Messier 42, the Orion Nebula…’

San Laurentino – Forbidden Fruit [PLAYRJC017]

It’s still relatively early days for  Lóránt Talpai aka San Laurentino, whose sensitive take on deep house is imbued with the mystique of early braindance material streets ahead of cookie-cutter pads and chords. The beats are most certainly Chicago-indebted on his EP for Robert Johnson, not least on the title track, but the atmosphere created by the intricate melodies of his synths are the real stars of the show. If you miss the soothing embrace of nineties back room ambience, then head straight for the massaging bass tones of “Rainforest Hunters” and get ready for the bliss-out.
