Nolita Schallplatten & CDs

Review: REPRESS ALERT: LA-based producer Luxxury has been working hard building up a sturdy bedrock of modern disco with earworm vocals and lashings of blue-eyed soul for more than 15 years now. His tracks have landed on high profile compilations, and with good reason - now some of those most prized delights are making their first appearance on vinyl via his own Nolita label. From the snappy New York punk funk touches of "Be Good 2 Me" to the hands-in-the-air anthem "I Need U", this is feel-good stuff with mass appeal at its core. Need to please a crowd in style? Look no further.

Review: There's a good chance you've already heard the hook-laden crossover groove of LUXXURY & Scavenger Hunt's "Another Lifetime", which was recently featured on Future Disco's Poolside Sounds compilation. Now the track gets a full vinyl release for all pop-friendly spinners to get the maximum mileage out of this immaculate slice of sunkissed funk. The original version appears in extended form, brimming with slick '80s tinged disco notes and a sweeter-than-honey vocal line. LUXXURY then offer up a remix which takes on some Italo arpeggios while keeping the essence of the tune very much intact. On the flip you can dive into the instrumental version if you just want to home in on the groove itself before Impakt offer up a shimmering downtempo version for blissed out moments beyond the dance.
