Mark E - Special FX / Christo
12″ | Merc Music | merc003 | € 9.50
Mark E is arguably the leading light in the resurgent obsession with all things disco and slo-mo. Special FX weaves snatches of mid-Eighties magic into a lengthy groove-out with that patented Mark E ‘throb’. Whereas Christo drives us down a decidely more Detroit bound freeway, sounding as it does like Carl Craig remixing Prince, well. Recommended.
Kultra Edits - Kultra 1 / Kultra 2
12″ | Kultra | kult001 | € 9.50
Two glorious end-of-night anthems, “Kultra 1″ is a clever edit of UB40’s “Don’t break My Heart”, looped and spliced to perfection. Flip for a great exotic sounding disco track. Recommended.
The Revenge - Lost In Music / Shack Up
12″ | Disco Deviance | dd014 | € 9.20
Firm Flexx favorites the Revenge with a bomb edit release on Disco Deviance. First up is Sister Sledge’s anthemic ‘Lost In Music’, which is dubbed out and reworked into a massive dance floor teaser that totally goes off when it’s dropped. While on the flip, Banbarra’s funk-fuelled classic ‘Shack Up’ is cut up and supercharged in true Revenge style.…
Sam Sallon - You May Not Mean To Hurt Me
12″ | Fascinating Rhythms | fr02 | € 10.50
Sam Sallon is a hugely talented singer songwriter, who’s acoustic-led folk-pop brings to mind legendary UK artists such as Nick Drake & John Martyn. Begin and Leo Elstob a.k.a. Leo Zero have taken Sam’s beautiful, delicate original song and taken it into new territory. Great stuff. Limited edition 500 copy, hand screen-printed sleeve.

Greg Wilson - Edit The Edit Volume 2
12″ | Edit The Edit | ete002 | € 8.99
Three heavyweights of the new Disco era, Greg Wilson, Todd Terje and the 6th Borough Project, are brought together on one serious slab of crucial vinyl. Terje’s ‘Boogie’, which appeared in 2007 as part of the Mindless Boogie series, is extended and overdubbed, whilst 6BP’s ‘How Can I Show You’, from 2009, gets well and truly worked over for the flipside’s…
Premiere Classe - Poupee Flash
12″ | No Label | poupee1 | € 9.50
Seminlal Belgian New Wave / Synth pop anthem ‘Poupee Flash’ by Premiere Classe gets a timely re issue. Released in 1982, this is one of those forgotten gems that may ignite a party but you’ll never know the name of. Its demand grew when it was one of the stand out tracks taken from Metro Area’s incredible Fabric Mix CD in 2009. Backed with another winner…
Droids - Star Peace
LP | No Label | droids01 | € 15.99
‘Star Peace’, originally released in 1979, is a concept to the classic sci fi movie ‘Star Wars’ out that year. Featuring the French space synth classic ‘(Do You Have) The Force’, in both parts, this LP goes from strength to strength with spaced out lullaby’s ‘Inner Space’ & Tchough Fou’, before kicking back into the groove with ‘Be Happy’…

Idjut Boys - Implant
12″ | Noid | noid0110 | € 9.75
After a short hiatus, travelling far and wide to spread the good word, we have a mighty double-header in the shape of ‘Implant’. Loosely based around the late eighties, underground proto-House hit ‘Barah’ this takes the addictive Cymande style bass line into an altogether more dubbed out place, layering up some thundering persussion and extending the groove into…

Hot Lunch - Inside Of You
12″ | Pop | ppfspecialops03 | € 9.50

Don Froth - 10,000 CC / Holiday (Dubbed Out)
12″ | Phonica | phonicawhite02 | € 9.50
Don Froth initially appeared on our radar last year with ‘Foam’ – a laidback, dubby disco number. Forget about such niceties… ‘10,000cc’s’ is ‘Foam’s’ rowdy sibling. A twisted, bass-heavy stomper of a track, that takes disco, dub-step and punk-funk, spins them in blender and spits out one of the rudest basslines we’ve heard in a while. We’re talking big…
Various Artists - Magic Wand Vol. 1
12″ | Magic Wand | magicwand001 | € 9.50
Magic Wand is a new edit label project from Is It Balearic. Dj Steef from France lovingly transforms Black Sabbath’s little known ‘Planet Caravan’ into something truly balearic. Coyote respectfully add a liitle dubstyle weight to Randy Crawfords ‘You Might Need Somebody’, while on the flipside, Manchester’s ‘Be’ tunes up Richard Bears ‘Sunshine Hotel’ and finally,…

La Bionda - Burning Love
12″ | No Label | bionda1 | € 9.20
Classic disco tracks by La Bionda. This 3 track EP has some of their best work. Burning Love (recorded under their alias D.D. Sound) is a ten minute epic with wonderful male to female vocal ricochets and classic cosmic Italo instrumentation. I Got Your Number retains the dual lead vocal qualities but adds a killer electric guitar riff to the concoction making…

Unknown Artist - Heavy Disco Edits
12″ | Heavy Disco Edits | hdj01 | € 9.50
Rumoured to be the work of celebrated UK DJ and musician Ashley Beedle two legendary disco flavoured rock anthems get reworked and heavily dubbed out for the more psychedelic disco dance floors.
Idjut Boys - Waterboard
12″ | Droid | droidspesh00110 | € 10.99
Undoubtedly mighty, morphing, monstrous Moroderesque mindmelter from the Idjuts bunker. So immense in fact that there’s only room for one track on this platter!

12″ | Golf Channel | channel010 | € 12.25
Golf Channel’s leading light and producer/engineer extraordinaire Justin Vandervolgen strikes again with a double A of mid-nineties European flavoured House flipped with a sublime, deep Balearic Techno epic. Super special.
Dominik Von Senger - No Name
12″ | Golf Channel | channel005 | € 12.25
Dominik Von Senger may be something of a mystery to most, but his early 80’s Kraut Rock / Electronic work on German labels Fünfundvierzig, Harvest & veraBra have become firm favourites with Kraut-rock afficionado’s and Balearic types alike. Wonderfully melodic and suitably epic ‘No Name’ takes it’s cue from this fertile era of Deutsch Muzika and updates it for…

Gino Felino - Spend The Night / Thank You For This World
12″ | Creme Organisation | creme12-50 | € 9.50
For the 50th release Creme goes back to its Italo roots to release these two bombs. Ofcourse the rotting corpse of Italo has been desecrated endlessly over the last few years by predatory hipsters to gain scenepoints, but that doesnt mean there isn’t still some joy to be found in the oversatured tearjerking cotton candy sound of true mediteranean peacockery. Gino…

Pete Herbert & Dicky Trisco - Visual / Exodus
12″ | Autodiscotheque | autodiscoteque4 | € 8.99
‘Visual’ is a slick reworking of a classic slice of early 80s NY proto-house. On the flip, Exodus’ disco classic ‘Together Forever’ is cut up and enhanced into an irresistible, heavy hitting DJ tool that will really work the dance floor. Good stuff.
Reggie Blount - Hard Times Ep
12″ | Clone | ccrown03 | € 9.50
Reggie Blount doing some great p-funk electro tracks as one would expect to hear from Midnight Star, Morris Day and the Time, Bootsy Collins and the many unknown early 80’s unknown electro funk boogie funkateers. Heavily influenced by the underground electro-boogie style of the early 80’s as well as more known artists such as One Way, Kashif, Mtume, Cameo, and…

Cosmic Boogie are back and drop two funk fuelled bombs for the fourth release on the imprint. First up is a driving, peak time version of War’s classic hard edged funk cut ‘Youngblood’. Flip side cut, ‘The Users’, is a heavily percussive funk outing that is packed full of joyful soul, a heavy dose of boogie and a hint of Caribbean groove.
Manuel Tur - Beasts And The Birds Ep
12″ | Delusions Of Grandeur | dog08 | € 9.20
Fianchetto opts for a dark, spaced-out and deeply hypnotic vibe full of warm, subby disco beats, shimmering Rhodes and echoing horns. A masterful production from Manuel that is loaded with atmosphere and sounds mighty on a big system.

The final installment of the ‘Django’ trilogy. Kicking off we have ‘Gekko’, and arpeggiated analog monster, hailing back to the early scored synthesis of John Carpenter soundtracks. ‘Firefox’ is the answer record to the now cult ‘Silencer’, with its driving basslines and retro synth leads.

Hercules and Love Affair /Andy Butler and Jason Kendig reanimate the vocal of Madonna’s ‘Into the groove’, but as it would have sounded if the scene had taken place in Berlin’s Berghain today. A gritty bassline that is immediately recognizable, fat and moody synth hits, and a killer acidic 101 line transport Madonna into a dirty warehouse.
