VA – RDY #57 (Ron Hardy Edits) [RDY057]
The late great Ron Hardy had as much influence on DJing and club culture as anyone before or since. It’s not just what he played, but how he played it that set the standard from his legendary residency at the Music Box – not least the fact that he often had the highs squealing out of his system because they were the frequencies that had most impact on him while he was high on heroin. His productions all reflect his approach in the booth, and this latest collection of classics is back with rising disco, rawness, low-slung funk and high-speed, feel-good disco bliss. This release features four monstruous edits straight from the basement.
Roaring Mosquitoes – You Aren’t With Me / Ah Ah Ah Ah [BST-X106]
Best Record offers a reissue of the highly sought-after by the Roaring Mosquitoes. Further to enrich this reissue, the release is completed with two splendid edits by the Australian DJ-producer George Hysteric, recognized as one of the world’s foremost authorities and a leading figure in Italo-Disco. The juxtaposition of the two songs performed with grit and physicality by cousins Agostina and Antonietta Casalino (aka Roaring Mosquitoes) highlights two aesthetically and rhythmically similar approaches, yet with different roots and inspirations.
VA – RDY #56 (Ron Hardy Edits) [RDY056]
Original Chicago house music hero Ron Hardy used to make and break tracks with ease. Decades on, we’re still getting treated to them with this ongoing series and the latest opens up with a familiar sound. ‘Love’ is fairly stripped of its original vocals and is a casuistic, textured and intense electronic disco cut for peak times. ‘The Night’ slows down with some freaky vocals and heavy dub disco drums then ‘1-5-1’ brings some jacked up acid house with monstrous 303 lines ripping up the groove and ice cold hi-hats keeping time. ‘The Bass’ is a raw drum track with moody Windy City vocals and dark energy.
VA – RDY #55 (Ron Hardy Edits) [RDY055]
Four monstrous tracks straight from the basement featuring one of the original house music creator Ron Hardy.
Mac Jr – Elephant Song (Radondo Edit) [FREE DOWNLOAD]
Slow Motion affiliate Radondo returns to the “A UFO” free edit series with his high-octane rework of Mac Jr.’s “Elephant Song.” The vibrant energy of the original track is enhanced by Radondo’s signature percussive instrumentation and metallic flair. By sacrificing the original vocals, he creates a version that focuses more on the instrumental elements, capturing the captivating, energetic essence of the 1984 ZYX gem.

Facets – Party Edits [BUMP-E001]
Blkmarket Underground Music Party Edits is a sub-label to the influential Blkmarket, an esteemed label and event series in New York. Contrary to what that catalogue number might indicate, this is actaully their second release and has Facets at the controls. First up is ‘Computers’ with its raw and snappy analogue drum sounds and late-night synth details. ‘Time Of War’ is another full-fat blend of analogue drum thump and driving synth motifs, ‘Talk To Me’ has crashing cold-wave synths and deadpan vocals and ‘Paranoia’ has loopy vocals and moody atmospheres for freaky dancing. ‘Lies’ and ‘Dub To Destruct’ shut down this varied and retro-tinged EP with jerking rhythms that will do plenty of damage.
Members Only – The Worst Edits Vol. 14 [MO-34]
Members Only is back with the 14th volume of The Worst Edits featuring 8 previously unreleased edits pulled from the archives for experimental artistical purposes.

Bobby & Frankie – Pump & Relax (E.E.’s ‘Mancesco In The Lab’ Edit) [FREE DOWNLOAD]
llusive master reworker E.E. returns to Slow Motion’s ‘A UFO’ Free Edit series with his seductive blend of Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Bobby O. The rework results in a full-power marriage of ‘Relax’ and ‘Pump It Up’ reminiscent of Paradise Garage and this unmistakably shimmering era. E.E. raises the tempo and cuts the majority of the vocals, keeping the thumping bass line and classic synth riffs as a focal point throughout. Staying true to the sound of 1985 and not messing with the delicate tones, he achieves a perfect balance, re-invigorating these hits and readying them for another round of dancefloor explosion.

Il Bosco – Please, No More Edits … From The Manctalo Disco! [RL53]
Red Laser takes us for one last spin on the waltzers. Tried and tested at their road block parties in Manchester, these edits shine a light on four primo-grade Italo face melters. Fervently excavated by Bosco over countless visits to Bel Paese and streamlined for the hydrofoil, with some extra added calories for the club.
