Smash Hit Music US At Juno Download

Review: San Francisco's Smash Hit Music celebrates the 25th anniversary of Johnny Dynell's first two chart-topping hits, "Jam Hot" and "Big Throwndown". To do so, they have assembled an all star cast of contemporary producers to remix the classic tracks from the New York legend. Remixers include disco man of the moment Tensnake, alongside a superb supporting cast of Ilija Rudman, 40 Thieves, Mark Kamins, Clouded Vision, Peter Rauhofer and Johnny himself.

Review: USA's Smash Hit Music release a trio of remixes of American rockers Return to Sender's "Dutch Boyz Dance Floor". Aussie duo Canyons provide the stand out rework with an atmospheric and moody, 80s style electro workout. Anthony Mansfield's rework is thumping acid with a twist and Ruffy & Tuffy add a disco vibe for good measure.

Review: Not much is known about Mr Wily, a new signing to Smash Hit Music, but these four tracks of classy nu-disco are more than enough of a calling card. First track AYO has a low slung funk about it, as well as some nice Loft-era disco drums and some tastefully used vocoder. After a chorus featuring a heavily reverbed voice imploring you to "get down", some playful synths take centre stage until a heart-stoppingly long filter break finally sucks you into the genius of this song. High Jacket Pipe is a more minimal and laidback tune, with long periods of tantalising beat drop outs that finally give way to a steady stream of hi-hats as the song surges forward again.

Lost comes over like a more spaced out and deeper Prince track, using claps and atmospheric breaths just like the purple one. Probably the most uptempo of the tunes here, it's full of pleasing stabs and keyboard sweeps. Like all of the songs on Brockley Boogie, there's a good balance between retro sounds and modern production which avoids it becoming yet another 80's tribute piece. The slow funk of final tune Low Budget comes with a lot of bounce, as well as teasing bits of vocal filtered through some dub echoes.

Fans of any era of disco, from Larry Levan to LCD Soundsystem, will are strongly advised to check these four tracks out.

Review: Following a string of well received remix outings, the mysterious but fast-rising Tad Wily returns to Smash Hit Music. As with previous excursions, the three tracks here offer a deliciously dubbed-out fusion of original disco synths, P Funk chops and proto-house grooves, all wrapped up in the sort of unashamedly joyous production that would have oh-so-serious deep housers crying into their achingly fashionable hats. "Tape Love" itself is a riotously heavy slab of P Funk revivalism, while "Lonely Night" fuses the lo-slung bass of classic Chicken Lips with sparkling nu-disco synths. Best of all, though, is "Jack Gone South", a vibrant Paradise Garage throwdown that sounds like a jam between D Train and Frankie Knuckles.
