Jaakko Eino Kalevi – Modern Life [HELMI036]
Fresh, exciting synthpop album from Finland’s Jaakko Eino Kalevi. “Modern Life” is a tradition-conscious and rather minimalist disco, definitely dance music. The album includes a couple of killer hitting, but otherwise the atmosphere is dreamlike and peaceful.
Capracara – Panic Beats [FA024]
Fine Art with another piece of sultry nu-disco/house. This time its london’s Capracara (aka Jonathan Burnip). This vinyl only release of “Panic Beats” includes (beside the original version of course) a sweet remix from Diskjokke.
Tom Trago – Shutters [RH114]

Publicist – Keep It Off The Record [VOLTPUBLICIST]
Publicist is the brainchild of Sebastian Thomson, mainly known as the drummer for post-rock stalwarts Trans Am and punk band Weird War. Mixing live drums and vocoded vox with spacey, arpeggiated dance rhythms and funk-laden bass lines, Publicist’s one man band approach appeals directly to a spectrum of 70s kraut-rockers, DJs, dancers, and party people.
Marcello Giordani – Disco Cutz [IDR003]
Three other edits by the Italo Deviances founder Marcello Giordani. ‘Stop’ is an Italian release from 1983 with 303, live & electronic drums, and percussions…a very Chicago feeling till the lead vocal starts so become very early 80s Italo Disco! ‘Automatic’ is from an Italian singer / soubrette called Patrizia Pellegrino… warm bass and synth pianos with a space/ flangered lead vocals. ‘P&P’ is a must for all disco lovers, taken from the break of Nightlife Unlimited Peaches & Prunes its a tribute to Ron Hardy.

Fernando – Endless Disco [REDUX013]
Fernando returns to Redux with some fine disco funk tracks based on some classic material. ‘Endless Disco’ and ‘Retrospective’ might come at different tempos, but they compliment each other perfectly, both are prime examples of his deep, low slung disco excursions, that feature his live bass and vocals. Bearfunk chief Steve Kotey repays the remix favour on a great mix of ‘Endless Disco’.
