Whiskey Disco At Juno Download

Review: Four excellent new funk/soul/disco bombs from the Whiskey Disco label, with some surprising covers and peerless edits for your aural delectation. Anthony Mansfield sets about deconstructing a fresh cover of "Hercules" by Aaron Neville, while fans of Philly/Al Green-esque slow '70s funk will love Cosmic Boogie's soft-touch edit of "How Can You Say Goodbye". Rayko ups the tempo a little with his mix of the boogie wonder "S&M (Sexy Music), while WD label-head Sleazy McQueen has a lot of fun with Stevie Wonder's "Do I Do", looping up instrumental sections just right for a new perspective on this classic Stevie joint.

Review: Ponytail-sporting Floridian Sleazy McQueen is usually a reliable source of botton-heavy edits and reworks. Here he casually unfurls another digital-only selection of floor-burning tweaks for similarly minded disco deviants. As usual, there's a heavy dub disco feel to proceedings, with previously straihght-laced disco, AOR and electrofunk cuts being turned into heavyweight reverb-laden jams. As ever, there's little filler and plenty of killers, from the delay-laden horns of "I Like Girls" and poodle perm silliness of "Like The Wind" to the twisted swamp funk of "Through The Jungle" and E'd-up soul of "Can't Say Goodbye".

Review: Orlando-based disco lothario Sleazy McQueen hands his most recent single over to a bunch of pals for remixing, with largely pleasing results. Fellow American Cole Medina turns in the most impressive version, turning the original into a bubbling chunk of spaced-out electrofunk with just enough weight to please the househeads. Liverpudlian Facebook miserablist Cosmic Boogie treads a similar path, combining analogue bass, dubby house and disco cowbells to excellent effect. There's a solid Ooft remix, too, for those who like their deep house a touch darker and chunkier.
