Loveface Music Schallplatten & CDs

Review: What differentiates Loveface's De Mixes series from its re-edit and rework rivals is a willingness to embrace synth-heavy 1980s soul and the mid-80s proto-house sound of New York City. That glossy, colourful sound once again comes to the fore on this sixth instalment in the series. After first reworking a classic, mid-80s sing-along ('That You Are'), the mysterious production crew pays tribute to loved-up, hands-in-the-air Italo-house on 'Love Fantasy'. Over on the flip, 'Pablo's Theme' is a shimmering chunk of neo-boogie/electrofunk fusion rich in rubbery synth-bass and kaleidoscopic melodies, while 'Give It To You' is another tactile and gorgeous slab of '80s soul given a subtle dancefloor makeover.

Review: The fifth instalment in Loveface's 80s-themed dance remixes series charts dub-funk remixes of Deee-Lite's 'Groove Is In The Heart', Jeanette Day's 'Let Me Love You' and an exclusively icy original, 'Brainfreeez'. No bush-beating with this one, only beat-landing; by the end of the record we're deep into the sunny nu-disco lover's palette; this supercharged record exists for all the Todd Terje, Ruf Dug and/or Prins Thomas fans out there.
