VA – Limited Edition Disco [IDR005]
Four obscure Italo, Funk and Electronic tracks directly from the Marcello Giordani’s 7” collection. “Zombi” and “In the land of Zombi” are two killer Dub Disco tracks released in the south of Italy in 1979 and produces by The Zombies. Enigma are from Germany, but released on the super disco Italian label “Out” the track sounds like a Space soundtrack with arpeggios and chorus from the grave. “Why O” is a 100% Italian afro disco track produced by Paolo Ormi.

Persnickety Presents – Persnickerty Electric EP [PS1005]
Persnickety Sounds is here to funk-ti-fy your world! In this era of Nu-Disco, Space Disco, Cosmic Disco, Disco House and shit, there must be a beacon of quality to light the way and lead the faithful back to a place where good grooves matter and realness is holding court.
Rubini – Ginsonic [DEG001]
For his discographic debut Degustibus has chooses to release Gin Sonic, a tune made by Rubini. Gin Sonic is a classy old-school track, circular bassline swim in a invincible funky-beat and crush against a wall of synth providing you a sure dancefloor-filler. The release includes also two remixes by DJ Filippo “Naughty” Moscatello. Remix 1 is a dubby-hypno ride with a moroder-like dizzy bassline, while remix 2 is a perfect example of the best Naughty style: sharp bassline and vintage-synth blended together in an solid old-school disco journey.
Glass Figure – Brightside Of House [SOL005]
‘Brightside of House’ represents the debut release for the french band Glass Figure, Christoph Le Gall and Julien Mercier. They make dance music with the old age, iconic and of course comforting, tag of Acid House. The music that sound-tracked the 2nd summer of Love and for most Europeans, the soundtrack to arguably the last great cultural movement of the 20th Century. Crafting their music on “synthesizers Alpha Juno, TB-303, SH-101, TR-707, TR-909, TR-626, TR-808” plays a large part in the authenticity.
Andy Vaz – Straight Vacationing [YRE028LP]
Andy Vaz’s Straight Vacationing, his first full-length artist album since 2006, registers as less a straight-up collection of dance-floor burners and more of a variety pack that mixes club tracks and full-fledged house songs. Listeners hungry for just ordinary 4/4 throw-downs will not entirely get their share of those, but they’ll also get a whole lot more on this dynamic and well-rounded set of eight album tracks and that is exploring House Music not just as a simple one way street, but give you a very personal view of the music we call House. Straight Vacationing dives into the genre in all it’s rich variety: From deep melodic, early Chicago influenced Acid House, Jacking-Jedi Mind Tricks to Disco-type grooves and last but not least excursions into Bizzaro World, with a vaz typical almost psychedelic experimental-edged Sound, it’s all there.

L.D. Nero – Be The Light [POM26]
L.D. Nero graces Pomelo with profound house rhythms. ‘Be the Light’ features a very catchy hook over deep strings and sparse but effective rhythmic programing, achieving an ethereal summer tune, floating and hypnotic, but grounded in the low end. The flip features two extremely stripped down house grooves, applying subtle changes and transitions for maximum effectiveness on the dancefloor.
Innergaze – Shadow Disco [SILK008]
100% Silk return with another exceedingly alluring drop, this time from Aurora Halal and Jason Letkiewicz aka Innergaze. Lithe, sexy post-punk disco is the vibe, NYC in 1981/2011 is the setting for ‘Shadow Disco’, strutting to languid dub bassline and preening synth flashes, before ‘Way Of Life’ retires to the balcony to ahem, powder one’s nose and gaze out at glittering harbour lights dancing off glass-curtained high rises. Soon enough the seductive, panther-purring bassline, cooing big-haired women and rippling rototoms of ‘Hypnogogisco’ beckons us back to the middle of the floor and the chick with the biggest hair asks ‘What’s Your Body Doing Tonight’, only it comes out all syrupy slow and you realise you shouldn’t have necked that pint of GHB.

Model Man – Forever Strangers [BAP001]
Model Man is the nom de plume of the diverse Dutch man DJ Overdose. ‘Forever Strangers’ is the second Model Man release with dark dense electro pop, sinister and playful on the new Bordello A Parigi imprint. DJ Overdose brings you pain and sorrow in this melancholic journey to a rainy Parisian whore-house. Don’t expect any joy, just go through the motions and find yourself en route to a deserted subway station in the 13th arrondisement.
