Review:
To date, Italian wonky disco revivalists The Barking Dogs have released a serious amount of material in a relatively short space of time. This four-tracker for Gomma, though, is arguably their strongest to date. While it still bears the sonic hallmarks of their Italo-fixated work, it sits somewhere between analogue disco and shuffling deep house. Amsterdam producer Tom Trago contributes barely audible vocals to the dubbed-out analogue deep house shuffle of "Your High", while fellow Dutchman Young Marco adds some excellent keys to the late night oddness of the EP's standout track, the epic, alien-sounding "Margherita". There's also some ragging, mutated strangeness in the shape of electro-disco weird-out "Ebony".

Review:
Munich-based studio boffin Moullinex quietly impressed with his recent debut album, the jaunty and synth-heavy Flora. Here, he delivers extended, club-friendly versions of six album staples. His style - bubbling, smile-inducing nu-disco with just the right balance between electrofunk revivalism and synth-heavy house - is best expressed on the chunky "Deja vu", but there are plenty more reasons to be cheerful. The snappy, loose-limbed "Let Your Feet (Do The Extra Work)" is a cheery, stab-laden delight, while "Flora" is almost unbelievably upbeat (and all the better for it). There's also some joyous, piano-laden house shuffle in the shape of the grinning "Sunflare", and a rubbery chunk of cheeky synth-funk ("Hypnotize") that's almost impossible to dislike.

Review:
Ever a reliable outlet for the newest of nu-disco, Gomma once again come up trumps with this record from Justin Robertson's more synth-wave influenced project. The original is a dynamic and immaculately realised pop jaunt fit for early Depeche Mode, not least in the stoutly English vocals. Ewan Pearson gets a snappy house framework around the key elements of the track, never so in his element as reworking a bombastic vocal tune. The "Club" mix focuses on a serious dose of acid intent with a hint of electro house a la Tiefschwarz, and Disco Bloodbath turn out an unbeatable slice of Chicago precision.

Review:
Gomma has already exceled at inhabiting the grey area between underground dance music and pop. Mercury proves adept at following this proud tradition; "Man" starts with heavy, clanging drums and a dark, sinewy bassline, but then out of nowhere a soulful vocal appears to proclaim "I'm a man, that's all I am", before Mercury sends the arrangement back underground with the niggling bass. "Born Happy" is of a similar disposition; the underlying rhythm is more rolling and is infused with infectious disco filter, but it'll really stand out thanks to the black vocal sample that intones: "I'm happy, I'm carefree, I was born this way". It could be Gomma's own maxim.

Review:
With its jangling Spanish guitars, spiralling guitar solos, manic South American percussion and authentic spoken word vocal, "No Hay Ritmo" comes on like the soundtrack to a Mexican gun-slingers' stand off that's morphed into an impromptu rave. By the time it reaches its breathless climax after 11 epic minutes, most of the protaganists will have laid down their weapons and moved on to sweaty hugs. "No Hay Dub", meanwhile, offers a more breezily percussive take on this memorable scene, while PG Parallax's electrofunk-flavoured remix drops a bagful of God knows what into the drinking water and points the camera towards the heavens.

Review:
For reasons not made clear, the esteemed Gomma label collared Peaches and decided to record some cover versions of tracks from the back catalogue of the iconic Casablanca Records label. Purists might sneer at the mere idea of this concept but the end products are undeniably fun (and its refreshing to hear Ms Nisker actually sing as opposed to, you know, act like Peaches). Moullineux step up first with a burning punk funk rendition of Flashdance's "Maniac", whilst Telonius' take on Donna Summer's "Our Love" gets bonus points for having Mr Harold Faltemeyer on keys! Other highlights in the eight track include Munk's chunky disco funk take on the Stephanie Mills classic "You Can't Run From My Love" whilst the ever excellent Phenomenal Handclap Band embellish the Halloween standard "Walk The Night" with their own distinct brand of loose limbed funk.

Review:
Morgan Geist's remixes usually hit the spot, and they're a surefire way to prick our attention. Here, he offers similar vocal and instrumental takes of The KDMS's "Tonight", a chunky, string-laden nu-disco effort that sounds like a European take on Escort at their most electronic. MG's mixes bring out the synth-pop elements of the original, successfully layering up vintage synths, analogue basslines and just the right amount of disco guitar. They're more "Double Night Time" than "Muira" or "Look Right Through", but that's no bad thing. Felix Martin also remixes, delivering a straight-up nu-disco workout that should appeal to synth-inclined house DJs.

Review:
One of the undoubted highlights from Box Codax's distinctly disco-punk album Hellabuster gets a deserved single release, with all manner of new remixes. The original album version, included here, is a delightfully full-throttle fusion of sharp electronic appregios, attitude-laden vocals and bowel-bothering bass from Franz Ferdinand man Nick McCarthy. The remixes are tasty but largely reverential, with Rodion (sparkling space disco), KDMS (fuzzy disco-funk) and Den Haan (hi-NRG pop) offering the best reworks. There's also a simple dub from Telonious, which removes the vocals for those who prefer instrumentals.
