Review: Belgian duo Spirit Catcher have been producing uber-slick, disco-tinged electro-house/proto nu-disco for almost ten years. However, their sound can maybe veer towards being a bit too tasteful, a bit dry, so teaming up with pastel clad 80s enthusiasts Mullet has awoken a playful sense of fun in their style. "Final Call" is an electro-boogie anthem featuring the cheeky vocals of Mr Renard and "Never Give Up" sees the pair embark on a delicious analogue synth-funk mission. Label boss Casio Social Club remixes the lead track in a Mylo stylee but it's Tad Wily's deep n spacey odyssey that's really floating our yacht.

Review: A key member of the Mullet contingent, Elijah Collins has quite regularly stolen the show on many a release via his beefy electro-house remixes. Here we get a whole EP of his and he's in a particularly frisky mood! "Shake Dat" is a sleazy hip-houser built around a nasty, stripper-friendly bassline that certainly gets our dollars in it's thong! There's also an extended instrumental version that's a totally awesome jack-fest!

Review: Once again the Mullet head honcho is back with a heavyweight jam! Unlike recent remix-packed releases, this single concentrates on this one tune, and who can blame him? In Its full 'freestyle' form it's a slickly realised tribute to the type of jams people like Debarge would party to, driving around mid 80s Miami at night in neon underlit cars. The 'four to the floor' version just wins though (despite a Lisa Stansfield sample), evoking Shannon in a downtown sweatbox circa 1983.

Review: Yes! The first release of 2013 by 80s junkies Mullet brings a ray of sunshine to the gloomy sleet soaked January doom. "Shacka Lackin" is pure vintage mid-80s electro-boogie, the kind that Shalamar lose their minds to on a dry ice caked and neon-lit art deco dancefloor, circa 85. Label boss Casio Social Club's "Back To 85" mix turns the original into a more Miami Sound Machine/ freestyle banger. Balancing out the retro vibes is Elijah Collins' more contemporary version, a badass slice of driving electro-house.

Review: Another week, another example of more 80s-tastic joy brought to us by the Mullet crew. In a move away from their more electro-housey releases of late, this time we have a cover of Gamble & Huff's classic "Now That We've Found Love" presented to us by an act that almost sounds like an amazing mythical collaboration between the 90s ravers SL2 and a distant relative of our favourite Bo Selecta crooner (Frankie David). Anyway this cover is a musically dexterous, but still faithful, version. Remix-wise Luke Brancaccio and Tony Lovatt take things into soothing deep house territory.

Review: Good old Mullet Records, always championing the fine line between 80s synth action and contemporary electro-house. This time round they've dropped a bulging at the seams compilation boasting 25 short on top, long at the back tracks. Highlights include the Jan Hammer bliss of "Miami Twice" by Sare Havlicek, the beautiful electronic tragedy of "Neon Love" by Tesla Boy, the mighty Artificial Arm's Orbital-meets-synth-pop of "Press Start To Dance" and Elijah Collins & Nist's absolute killer re-edit of Evelyn "Champagne" King's "Love Come Down".

Review: Mullet's head honcho Casio Social Club is back with yet another solo release on his own imprint, and why the hell not? "Try Me" is a delicious slice of mid-80s digital soul, like if Paul Hardcastle teamed up with the guy from Shakatak to produce some hot Miami freestyle starlet. The "Acid Luv Dub" version is stretched out more, and is a unique hybrid of sugary and acidic production.

Review: Unsurprisingly Mullet Records are heavily influenced by dance music of the 1980s. However, despite the jokey logo, they're pretty serious about their synths! Recent tune "Garage Love" is remixed here by a host of electronic heroes and leading the way are Belgian duo Spirit Catcher who deliver a typically silky smooth electro-house workout guaranteed to get folk everywhere into the groove. Label boss Casio Social Club has a go too with his 'Time After Time' mix which nods to the often plundered, but never stale, classic Cyndi Lauper chord progression. Elijah Collins provides a vocoder-heavy electro-funk jam and Fishing Vest presents a cocktail-friendly Italo-pop version.

Review: Mullet's label boss Casio Social Club is back and this time it's serious. Well, when we say 'serious', we mean there's less tongue-in-cheek '80s references than usual (not that that's a bad thing). Instead though, "Little French Girl", opts for a more emotional tone, with sumptuous, laid back production and hazy sunshine orchestration. Oh and did we mention the narration by a super-cute little French girl? Well it really works and lends the tune a similar feel to "Manila" by Seelenluft. Luvdup provides a killer Italo-disco remix that goes all out Miami Vice in the end and ensures the 80s aren't forgotten. Awesome!

Review: 80s obsessed label Mullet (how can you tell?) are back with another irresistible dancefloor blazer. This time it's Pandolfo and Del Gado's turn to deliver the goods, and that they do in abundance. "Better Than Me" features a bright, bouncy bassline, synths thoroughly indebted to the 80s and impressive soulful vocals in the style of Colonel Abrams, all wrapped up in shiny, modern electro-house production. Stephane Deschezeaux and Casio Social Club both provide nu-disco-ish mixes, but its Elijah Collins' brooding interpretation, complete with menacing wayward bassline, that's the real dancefloor smasher.

Review: This two-tracker from the previously unknown Elijah Collins and J-Tee is something of a departure for the usually synth disco inclined Mullet stable. "J-Funk" is effectively a re-edit, although one sliced and diced in the now familiar disco/house style. The original track undergoing routine (scalpel) maintenance is Tom Browne's break-diggin' favourite "Funkin' For Jamaica". While it barely needed a rework, Collins and J-Tee's version is expertly teased and twisted, leading to an excellent drop and veritable explosion of groovery. "Holy Smokes", meanwhile, superbly re-jigs Rick James' P-funk jam "Cold Blooded", turning it into an elastic electrofunk/house hybrid. Like the A, it's simple but very, very effective.

Review: Cologne-born, Berlin-based Rene Breitbarth has had a long, if not illustrious, career, releasing house and techno on a variety of impressive German labels. Here, he pops up on Mullet with an entertaining collection of instrumentals, skits and sketches that sits somewhere between the synth-wave antics of Com Truise and the drum machine disco favoured by the Mullet crew. It's peppered with slap bass, edit-heavy electrofunk grooves and clipped guitars, giving it an authetic, early-to-mid '80s vibe. It's hard to fault and thoroughly enjoyable.

Review: The usually productive Mullet imprint has been relatively quiet of late. Here, they turn to old friend Dabeull, a Parisian producer who first released on the label back in 2010. The talkbox-loving studio boffin channels the spirit of Roger Troutman and Bernard Wright on "Breakaway", a kind of super-slick, synth-heavy love letter to '80s soul and loved-up electrofunk. It's actually rather good, capturing the spirit of the period - and the sound, of course - without resorting to pastiche. Manuel Portio apes fellow Aussies Freekwency and Inkswel on his synth bass-propelled rework, while label boss Casio Social Club ups the tempo on his dubby, Shep Pettibone-inspired remix.

Review: A disco and nu-boogie production trio, Casio Social Club rework a cast-iron classic on "Crush" - taking The Jets' "Crush On You" and giving it an uptempo '80s electro remake that's full of classic piano house fills and smooth bass hits. As as a more floor-friendly extended version, it's well worth checking out LuvDub's jacking dub version.

Review: "I know he used to do shit for you, but what has he done for you lately?" So asks a lone sampled voice at the beginning of "What Up Girl?", offering a cute warning of what's to come. You see, this newie from Mullet regulars Elijah Collins and Nist is heavily based around Janet Jackson's "What Have You Done For Me Lately?", one of Jam & Lewis's best productions. Collins and Nist's version beefs up the bottom end, making great use of the backing vocals and, later, hooky melodies. Sound wise, it's an electrofunk/loopy house blend, making it more suitable for contemporary dancefloors.

Like a Glaswegian drunk fuelled by Buckfast and Tenant's Super, they've taken to staggering around, pointing a blackened finger at passer's by and screaming obscenities! Or, at least producers Elijah Collins and Tee J have, as they offer up a decidedly aggressive lead cut that sounds like dirty P-funk for manic depressives (although, we can assure you, it's a bit more fun than that). "I Used To Feel Alright", meanwhile, re-edits a live version of a well-known Marvin Gaye space disco fave.

This album collects the best of his remixes of other acts and it's an impressive selection: from the pulsating electro-soul of "Can You Feel It", to the Thin White Duke-ish, bass-driven new wave of "Right Off", the italo-disco pop of "Thinking Of You" and the Jam & Lewis vibes of "Forever Lasting". In short, packed full of retro dynamite.

Review: Haircut-fanciers Mullet must be the busiest digital label on the nu-disco scene, releasing a single nearly every week. This two-tracker from Elijah Collins & NIST is one of Mullet's finest to date. "Love's Down" is a particular treat, foregoing the usual Mullet cod-80s synths for some original electro-boogie flava, teasing vocal snippets and sweet 80s soul flourishes. If the sound of famed 80s R&B label Solar System floats your boat, check it. "Shakedown", meanwhile, goes even further towards 80s soul, offering a clattering fusion of slo-mo P-funk and cheeky electrofunk.

Review: Mullet stalwarts Casio Social Club can usually be relied upon to provide sturdy dancefloor fodder that sits somewhere between radio-friendly electrofunk and breezy nu-disco. "Discokicks" certainly ticks this box, offering a positive, sing-along groover built around a strong, hooky vocal. Musically, it's as bright and summery as you'd expect, utilizing both live disco elements (percussion, guitars, bass) and vintage electrofunk synths. There's a strong instrumental - the Luvdubstramental - that strips the track down to its bare bones, throwing in snippets of vocal for maximum dancefloor pleasure.

Review: The ever-jovial chaps at Mullet continue to impress with their positive, grin-inducing fusions of nu-disco, electrofunk and synth-pop. Here, they turn to the hitherto little known Fishing Vest for an EP of face-chewing Balearic nu-disco. "First Standard" is a whirlwind of baggy grooves and gurn-tastic pianos, while "Horse Cycle" manages to crowbar a deliciously epic breakdown (complete with Rhodes-tickling and piano keys) into a positively saucer-eyed nu-disco shuffler. The slo-mo chugger "FYI", meanwhile, should raise a few sweaty smiles with its twinkling fusion of P-funk synths and super-Balearic melodies.

Review: Sticking Brooklyn-based duo Chordashian into a neat pigeonhole isn't particularly easy. "Don't Wait Up", the lead track from this extended EP, is a great example. Utilising traditional instruments, vintage synths and the latest soft synth plug-ins, it sounds like a curious mash-up of Hall & Oates, andBenoit & Sergio with a Buzzin' Fly-ish deep house sheen. "Sea Crest", meanwhile, could be considered to be nu-Balearic - it certainly has that blinking-at-the-sun gorgeousness - while "The Jam" is thrillingly adventurous (if a little odd). With a trio of fine remixes also included, "Don't Wait Up" is easily Mullet's best for some time.

Review: Swedish electrofunk producer Odahl has been something of a go to man for Mullet in recent times, releasing a string of solid EPs and serviceable remixes. This four-tracker is another decent offering, too. "Out Of Control" itself is the real killer here, offering a slick combination of contemporary nu-disco chops and vintage, Prelude-ish synth funkery. Justin Faust provides the obligatory remix, laying down a straightforward electrofunk jam that rises and falls in all the right places. Bonus cut "Just Be Easy" offers some cascading melodies and far eastern charm, while Homon's remix provides bubbly nudisco grooves. Mullet's best for some time.

Review: Given their obsession with early 80s synths and cheery nu-disco, it's no surprise to see that the bods behind Mullet have recruited Sare Havlicek. Or, for that matter, to find that the resultant track is a grin-inducing tribute to early '80s electro and hip-hop dressed up as a delay-laden electrofunk jam. "Bipolar Duality" comes complete with a tongue-in-cheek, old skool style rap vocal from DJ Winksy, and is backed by a remix by Casio Social Club that pilfers the beats from BB&Q's synth-soul classic "Dreamer". Pleasingly, the package also includes two delightfully breezy B-sides. Of these, it's the guitar-laden '86 stomp of "Let The Sound" that impresses most.

Review: Less than a month after the release of the electrofunk-themed "Brand New Day" single, Satin Jackets return with another radio-friendly hit on Mullet. Featuring the smooth vocals of Eric Cozier, "Everywhere I Go" sees the Jackets slip into something more comfortable - string-laden midtempo disco, to be precise. A quick listen to the included instrumental version (our tip) will confirm the quality of the production - all sun-bright pianos, sweeping strings and, most impressively, live beats, bass and guitar. There's also a more laidback bonus cut, "Don't Stop Looking", which offers some slick Balearic groovery for sun-soaked beach bars.

Review: Fresh from collaborating with Retrofit boss Jay Shepheard, Tad Wily returns to Mullet with more synth-heavy electrofunk bombs. "Go Ahead" sets the tone, fusing heavy synth basslines and vintage P-funk synths with just the right amount of new wave dubbiness and delightfully sparse production. "Garage Love" continues in a similar vein, throwing more vocals into the pot on a lowdown, late night synth jam. Mullet Regulars Casio Social Club offer up two remixes of "Go Ahead", with the sprightly, bouncy "Luvdub" just edging out their similarly New York-themed "Remix".

Review: Having forged a reputation for delivering deliciously tactile nu disco inspired by '80s boogie and electrofunk, Mullet go slightly off-piste with this latest digital salvo. Markas' "Love" boasts their usual high quota of reveb and delay-laden synths, but its mood is notably darker and housier than previous label releases. It's more nu-disco than electrofunk, but that's no bad thing. The accompanying Re-Dub is sparser, spacier and arguably better, though it does boast less hip-shaking wiggle than the original. Finally, Elijah Collins remixes, sneaking trance like riffs into the mix without losing the original's cool '80s vibe.

Review: Bastian's Happy Flight are apparently named after a track on the Never Ending Story soundtrack, which should give an indication as to their inspirations. Stylistically, their roomy synth-pop/80s rock grooves sound like the result of many nights spent listening to Tears For Fears, The Cure and Spandau Ballet. The big synths, rubbery bass, echo-laden production, Robert Smith-ish vocals and eyes-closed guitar solos on "It's OK", "In My Mind" and "My Love's (Not Good Enough)" could have been lifted straight from a mid-'80s alternative pop record. Remix-wise, the Dublin Aunts provide the best rework - a cheeky, piano-laden nu-disco/pop take that sounds a little like Friendly Fires. Recommended.

Review: Casio Social Club's haircut-obsessed imprint goes pop here, with Telsa Boy slapping down something that hovers somewhere between vintage New Order, Divine and Simple Minds. With Glam Rock beats. Odd? A little bit, though it has a quirky charm that's hard to resist. Remix-wise, there's plenty to enjoy, including two melancholic, piano-laden nudisco rubs from Satin Jackets (if you're not digging the vocal, there's an instrumental) and a full-on French synth-pop-goes-filter-funk rework (think Breakbot and Alain Braxe producing beardy babies) from Estate. Best of all, though, is Solila's ubeat remix, which has more than a touch of the Pet Shop Boys about it.

Review: The prodigious Mullet imprint rounds off a bumper 2012 with a festive treat from label regulars Dato. As with much of the original material released by Mullet, "Bangkok" rides a joyous wave of 80s disco synths, melancholic melodies and bubbling bottom end. With the addition of some delightfully Balearic pianos and a cute indie-dance vocal, "Bangkok" could sit comfortably beside songs from Holy Ghost!, Poolside and Mitzy. Remix wise, Casio Social Club cuts up the vocals and emphasizes the squelchy bass, while Dato provide a delicious dub. It's fragrant, spicy and warming, like mulled wine for the ears. Sup up!

Review: For their third EP for regular home Mullet, Dato continue to offer up bright, breezy and Horlicks-comfy synth disco. Sounding not unlike 80s soul after a heavy night, "Letting Go" boasts all their usual aural trademarks - the bouncy synth bass, the warm chords, the simple-but effective vocal hooks, those pin-sharp guitars. It's comfy, hooky, accessible and surprisingly deep. There are radio and extended versions, plus an 'Extended Dub' that's little more than an extra-woozy instrumental. Well worth checking, as always.

Review: Given that there will always be an appetite from DJs for records tailor-made for the dancefloor, this newie from the Mullet camp should be a bit of a hit. It eschews subtleties and nuances in favour of an all-out dancefloor assault. Part funk breaks style mash-up, part piano-and-synth-laden electrofunk jam, it will pretty much do the business at any party that likes its grooves funky! There are all manner of familiar samples involved (including a cut-up version of the iconic synth refrain from Yazoo's "Situation"), luscious 80s synth-strings and the sort of bottom-end that should get even the most miserable punters shaking their hips.

Review: If you're a fan of smart dubby disco grooves driven by insatiable funk basslines, it's likely you'll own at least one Drop Out Orchestra production or remix. Here, they apply their bass-driven goodtime disco formula and apply it to vocal disco-pop. The results are as hooky, well produced and deliciously groovy as you'd expect, with Kinema's vocals fitting the insatiable backing like a well-worn glove. Instrumental and dub versions are included (the latter coming on like an early 80s synth disco production given a Balearic tweak) for those who don't dig the vocal, while floor-friendly remixes are provided by Casio Social Club, JD73 and Faze Action (our pick).

Review: Tigers On A Leash regular Lou Teti pops up on Mullet. He's pushed the boat out for the occasion, too, delivering a bubbling fusion of 80s Italian pop, low-slung disco-punk, coy synth-pop, twisted nu-disco and dreamy Balearica. It's hard to pin down musically, but rather charming all the same. Mullet regular Tad Wily provides the obligatory electrofunk-inclined remix, adding a fat synth bassline to propel the action 'floorwards (see what we did there?). There's also a rather silly (but, again, charming) 80s Balearic pop makeover from the brilliantly named Dublin Aunts. Worth a listen.

Review: Having forged a reputation for sprightly nu-disco and quirky synth-pop, Mullet try their hand at something a little deeper. "Brand New Day" from Satin Jackets - another pseudonym for veteran German studio type Tim Bernhardt - does bear some of the Mullet trademarks, such as slick synth bass and electro-funk twiddles. But these largely get lost inside a tightly wrapped take on deep house that owes more to Naked Music or Om than Prelude or West End. Sare Havlicek provides the best remix, a Crazy P-esque fusion of live disco elements and touchy-feely electronics. There's also a neat mix from DATO, which slows the pace for a sensual, cultured vibe.
