Bizzarro Universe - "Acid Sunday" (5:53)

Gumm - "Dance Of Fortune" (6:36)

Venice Arms - "Cuore Nero" (6:27)

C/TRO - "Allora" (6:18)

Review: Bordello a Parigi cordially invites us to enjoy a 'Buone Vacanze' ('happy holiday') in the first of a new series of multi-artist EPs packed full of sparkling, synth-heavy club cuts inspired by European electro-disco of the 1980s. Bizarro Universe steps up first with the thrusting sequenced bass, chiming melodies and bustling drum machine hits of revivalist Italo-disco number 'Acid Sunday', before GUMM opts for darker, sleazier, sequenced bass, bleeps reminiscent of the Flirts' 'Passion' and excitement-building breakdowns on 'Dance of Fortune'. Venice Arms doff a cap to both freestyle and the glossier end of dancefloor synth-pop on 'Cuore Nero', while 'Allore' by C/TRO is a more atmospheric, locked-in and pulsating slab of Bobby Orlando revivalism.

Review: Celebrating 10 years since his seminal mix "Try To Find Me Vol 2" dropped and turned diggers and editors green with envy (before causing en-mass search and ID-request for all his obscurities), My Rules boss Justin Van Der Volgen has decided to unleash two of his special edits for a very limited time. Peggi Blu's "I Want It All Now" pops and tickles with its juicy slap bass before she takes the lead and sets fire to the mic with her smouldering vocals. On the B we find an edit of "This Side Of Midnight" where Gregg Diamond's vocals are brought right to the front of the mix and the disco feels are so strong you can tangibly feel them. Catch this is you can.

Review: It's a sizzling seven up for Moiss Music here as they draw together four different artists to offer up one cut each for this new various artists collection. Boogietraxx goes heavy on the filter vibes on 'S N T' which is French touch disco-house of the highest order. Kellit's 'Pryscoks Sockin Socks' is all about sultry sax lines and loose-limbed disco house beats while C Da Afro gets heads up with the streaming sunshine synths of 'Don't Be Quiet.' Groovemasta shut down with the funky Afro-disco stylings of 'Gonna Make U Rock.'

Review: The late great disco legend Patrick Adams is the man behind Cloud One and his last known recording was 'You Make Me Feel So Good' which was put out by Hattrick Innovations out of Sweden. That original has been sent over to Gary Davis - a long time friend of Adams - who then added his own unique stylings to it with some lush disco strings amongst other things. The stems of that version have now been sent to producer Knoe1 who flips it into two of his own new dubs which hare now served up here on a limited release in honour of the original artist. Two timeless and dubby disco gems worthy of inclusion in any proper collection.

The first is a rare boogie cut 'Live It Up' that has been extended for more dancefloor heft having first been dropped under the D'aile' alias as a B-side. Then comes 'Kevin's Funk' which is named in reference to Incognito trumpet player Kevin Robinson, who played as part of a Congress-associated line-up for this session.

Review: Last spotted on wax together 16 years ago on New Standards, Italian kindred spirits and diggers Conte and Petrella collide once again. A culmination of many records savoured and ideas shared between the two friends, this 12" is long overdue and fizzes with fusion. "African Spirit" is focused on a rolling tribal MAW style house rhythm with Gianluca adding his signature trombone with staccato finesse while "New World Shuffle" is a much dreamier, smoky affair that sounds perfect any time between sunset and sunrise. Spiritual.

Review: Nicola Conte is one of the central figures in the Schema story, and his nu jazz and broken beat partnership with Gianluca Petrella has yielded some golden music in recent years. Nigeria originally came out in 2018, and then last year popped up on the duo's People Need People LP, but now it's getting a proper remix treatment which sees Tall Black Guy twisting the track out as a heady disco house roller for sundown moments when you need a little jazzy flair in the proceedings. That version comes in vocal and instrumental versions, and then the mighty Andres steps up for one of his simmering groove escapades as he delivers an extended remix of 'African Spirits'.

Review: Italian Latin jazz stalwart Nicola Conte first joined forces with trombonist Gianluca Petrella way back in 2001 on the nu-jazz era "New Standards" single. The pair started working on new material in 2014 and the "Free Your Mind EP" is their third joint release since. They're in a surprisingly up-beat, club-ready mood on EP opener "Free Your Mind", where Ebo Taylor style guitars, Africa 70 organs, tasty vocal samples and Afrobeat style horn lines are underpinned by a relaxed deep house groove. Vocalist Bridgette Amofah stars on the EP's other two cuts: the percussive tribal jazz of highlight "Imani River" and epic B-side "Infinity", a superb chunk of Afro-tinged deep house that sounds like it was inspired by Kai Alce and Ron Trent records.

Review: A La French 1987-1992 is a new series from long time dance veteran Dimitri From Paris. It finds him digging deep into his vaults and returning with some of his earlier edit work, often with a Balearic feel over deep house drums and 80s disco vibes. The first in the three part series is a real smoother, with sexy and steamy sax lines on 'Yuku Mon Ukulele' bringing a late night feel. There is a slow motion party tune from Alpha Blondy that runs deep, Gerard Blanc then gets a little more upbeat but still with plenty of soulful and loved up vocal vibes and Princesse Erika closes with lush piano stabs and synth strings that light up your heart.

Review: After countless releases stretching back to a debut drop from Greg Wilson back in 2006, the classy Redux imprint switch up tactics with the first in a series of various artist Pick & Mix EPs. It's a fine debut too, that stretches across the disco globe from Australia to New York via London. Proceedings commence with NYC duo Drrtyhaze, no strangers to Redux, who hog the A Side with the elongated disco house delight of "Get Down To Your Body". It is however overshadowed by the contribution from Mankind, last seen on 3rd Strike and claiming to be "beamed to Atlanta from a passing interstellar cruiser" and now seemingly residing in London. Taking on the same Alexander O Neal classic that was recently reworked to such devastating effect by Maxxi Soundsystem might seem foolish, but the Mankind treatment on "Marimba On Toast" swerves down some demented Maurice Fulton path and is totally different in execution. Finally, Pete Herbert teams up with Melbourne's Golden Fleece on the bumping slap bass odyssey "Inter Stella".

Right from the off, 'Kunama' strikes a perfect balance between horizontal grooves and gently persuasive Mediterranean rhythms. It's led by summery flutes which float up top over languid drums as the jumbled and organic perc helps smooth things along. 'Paradise Remembered' pairs more great win sounds with stringy melodies and chanting vocals that bring plenty of exotic vibes to this most humid and tropical of tracks.

Review: This essential 45 from Japan's Octave Lab brings together two essential productions from legendary disco studio wizard Patrick Adams. On the A-side you'll find Four Below Zero's 1976 modern soul scene anthem 'My Baby's Got E.S.P' (originally simply titled 'E.S.P', fact fans), a sing-along treat that arguably counts as one of Adams' most accessible and straight-forward productions (this is not a criticism, by the way, just recognition that he made some seriously bonkers disco and boogie records over the years). Over on the flip it's all about the Peter Brown co-produced 'The Guardian Angel is Watching Over Us', a rare 1979 cut that features a sublime lead vocal from Margo Williams. While not as celebratory as the A-side, it's every bit as essential.

The Green Man (Capracara remix)

Dirk Bogarde

Review: Launched earlier this year after several successful years of East London parties, the Disco Bloodbath imprint are clearly set on a path to promote the musical talents that's been cultivating around them. This third release on the labels sees the lesser spotted G&S return with their first material since appearances on Dissident (RIP) and In Flagranti's Codek imprint back in 09. A collaborative project between Say Yes resident Nadia Ksaiba and Matt Waites of Call Super, Moscow and Nightmoves repute, the G&S sound is based around a weighty yet eminently danceable manipulation of analogue gear which is executed with aplomb on lead track "Green Man". The duo's predilection for disco is very much evident in the tonalities of this track, but it's blended with a tough 808 grit that will appeal to Dissident fans. Juno favourite Capracara appears on the B-Side with a flipping great remix of "Green Man" that expertly imbues some house buoyancy into proceedings without sacrificing any of the original's crystalline charms, while G&S finish off with the Bloodbath anthem in the making "Dirk Bogarde".

"Flying Over The Island" on the B is no nightmare either; a breezy evocative slice of Balearica with infectious harmonic chimes, disco pops and dizzying layers of percussion... It's the perfect wake-up call from the sweetest of dreams. Once again the machine hits the G spot.

Once again, it's a rich warm brew underpinned with juicy synth bass runs and dense synth atmospheres as the Italian drives us deep into a sci-fi funk wonderland. Highlights include the faraway vocoder yearns and roboticised breathy rhythms of "Kraft", the blushing breaks and jittering staccato bass notes of "Funky Nation" and the star-gazing super-chugger "Flying Objects".

Lifted (5:46)

Panties (7:01)

Review: British DJ and producer G Markus has appeared previously on some top imprints such as Soul Clap Records, Exploited, Roots for Bloom and Monologues in recent times - so he sure has the credentials. He strikes out on his own here for the fifth edition in his G Edits series. The A side features the classic Stateside vocal house vibe of "Lifted", while on the flip there's something more funky and lo-slung that you have come to expect from the man - on the deep down and disco dirty groove of "Panties".

Eternal (8:12)

Partee (6:24)

Review: The fourth volume in G Markus' ongoing G Edits series delivers some serious disco heat from start to finish. While many will enjoy the more relaxed, groovy and gently housed-up B-side, "Partee" - all walking bass, sun-kissed chord progressions, eyes-closed synth stabs, jangling guitars and soft focus blue-eyed soul vocals - it's A-side "Eternal" that undeniably hits home hardest. Heavier and sweatier with subtle deep house flourishes (think drawn-out chords and filter tricks), the edit is based on a Latin-fired disco workout that boasts spiraling orchestration, eyes-closed rock guitar solos and a big budget horn section.

Power (7:16)

Ichiban (8:06)

Review: G. Markus returns with two fresh edits after his first G-Edits release sold out and enjoyed heavy support from all sorts of DJs. Known for his releases on Roots For Bloom, Sneaky and Monologues Records, the London based disco fiend has crafted a groovy house sound complete with vocal samples and funky bass lines. This year saw the launch of his aforementioned edits series and he's is back with the third installment. On the A side we have "Power" a killer edit that features funky vocal and guitar samples and a lot of bass courtesy of the heavy kick. On the flip, "Ichiban" might sound familiar - it's an oldie but a Goody Goody. G. Markus delivers a respectful edit of this classic.

On Fire (instrumental) (5:58)

On Fire (Breakdown version) (5:49)

Review: There can be few better ways to get your 2023 off to a banging start than by dropping this one onto your deck. Bordello A Parigi always deal in superb Italo disco sounds and this is another case in point - G Race's 'On Fire' surges out of the speakers on bright, buoyant melodies that zip about the skies with all the energy of a collapsing star. Sheet metal perfusion and corrugated rhythms all add to the power. A textured breakdown version is also included and so too an instrumental.

Cosmic Factory (6:56)

Review: Gino and Dino ride again! As with the previous G&D edit releases, the vibe is silky smooth, soulful and disco to its very core. "Changes" kickstarts the EP with a thumping disco piece that hits with northern soul energy while "Give Me Hot" has some of the most honied harmonies and peppiest sax you'll hear on wax this summer. Finally "Cosmic Factory" closes with the deep, spacey outer-planetary salute its name suggests. Watch out for those drums!

Obe-Disco (Volcov edit) (3:57)

Agua Cosmica (5:55)

Review: G&D return to action with label EP number two. There's plenty to set the pulse racing across the four tracks, from the grandiose orchestral disco swirl of "Something", to the Daniele Baldelli-esque throb of "Agua Cosmica", a killer version of a druggy Cosmic club favourite that boasts both heavy dub disco bass and mind-altering synthesizer arpeggio lines. Arguably the pick of the bunch, though, is heavy disco-funk stomping "Spider" with an edit from Volcov, a hearty, groove-based peak-time anthem rich in K.I.D style instrumentation, fantastic slap bass and righteous rock riffs.

Homecoming (feat Fede Grasso) (5:44)

Gnabolo (6:57)

Review: Bologna-based twosome G&B (apparently short for Gino and Dino) have offered up some of the best scalpel-style disco edits of recent times, with each of their three previous EPs receiving plaudits from both party-starting selectors and dusty-fingered record collectors. This fourth EP lives up to the high-quality of its predecessors, delivering three more hot-to-trot edits. The Italian pair begins via the triumphant disco-funk of 'Ori One', where rubbery bass, mazy electric piano solos, spacey synth chords and punchy horns catch the ear, before opening side B with a tidy revision of a boogie-era disco-soul gem ('Homecoming'). Arguably best of all though is closing cut 'Gnabolo', a superbly squelchy revision of a killer Afro-boogie number from 1982.
