Review: Argentinian producer and re-editor Alexny returns to Furious Mandrill with the third installment in a series that draws heavily on world music influences, though whether the three tracks here are re-edits or original productions is a little unclear. Either way, 'Que Pasa' is, unsurprisingly, a Latin-flavoured affair with dense layers of percussion and a one-line vocal, 'Conmbe' is a somewhat funkier affair with a full male vocal in an unknown language and some energetic guitar work that hints at highlife, while finally 'Donme' is a deep, shufflin' groove with choral vox (again in an unidentified tongue) and probably the best bet for non-specialist floors.

Review: Rare Wiri bring us three new rubs of the tracks that made up German nu-disco regular Andy Bach's 'If You Leave' EP, released in November last year. Romanto's take on 'Come On Now' strips away the deep house elements and transforms it into a hazy summer nu-disco jam, Stephane Deschezeaux's Organic Remix of 'Dimesions' injects a little more funk and soul into what was quite a trippy, Balearic-leaning original, before 'If You Leave' - a fairly 'accessible' and pop-oriented nu-disco cut in its original form - gets handed over to label boss Rayko, whose rework gives it a deeper, more underground kinda feel.

Review: Italian twosome Dirty Channels first appeared on Polifonic two years ago, joining forces with legendary house producer Don Carlos on the superb 'Adriatic'. On their return, they're in collaborative mode too, this time sharing studio space with Milanese duo Eternal Love. They channel the spirit of bouncy, hands-in-the-air early '90s Italo-house on opening vocal number 'I'm Coming Out', a cover of the Diana Ross disco classic of the same name propelled forwards by rubbery synth bass, energetic breakbeats and vintage Korg M-1 organ stabs. Elsewhere, it's all about 'Take Me Up', a sun-soaked, Adriatic-friendly slab of breakbeat-driven house retrofuturism that comes backed with a rushing piano house style revision courtesy of Running Back boss Gerd Janson.

Feel Like Dancing (feat Kim Summerson, Jame Starck & Filippo Fedetto - 12" extended mix) - (5:39) 119 BPM
Review: With decades in the industry and an impressive list of over a thousand production credits, Bini's impact on disco-house is undeniable. From his chart-toppers as Eclipse and House Of Glass to his work under aliases like Bini & Martini, Fathers Of Sound, and The Goodfellas, Bini has consistently pushed boundaries with his unique sound. Gianni Bini adds another gem to his already impressive career with his album "The House Of Glass (12 Extended Mixes)" on Groove Culture. What makes this album special is Bini's ability to mix nostalgia with innovation. His extended mixes pay homage to disco's roots while adding a contemporary touch. From the pulsating beats to the uplifting melodies, every moment of "The House Of Glass" reflects Bini's exceptional talent and dedication. With its infectious rhythms and timeless vibe, this album is a must-have for any dance music enthusiast. Groove Culture has truly struck gold with this collaboration.

Review: Greta Levska continues her formidable run on Get Physical Music with an Ibiza compilation sampler which follows her 2023 album Flex (for Poker Flat) and EPs for GP like Club Jupiter and Cala Da Bronx. On display here are tracks by JoJo in "Eclipse" with its euphoric progressive house and trance style, to Madd Rod's '80s inspired drive time "Jumping Jacks". Furthermore there's some electro B-boy bangers in Computer Madness' "Travelling Back To The Planet Rock" - NYC in the house - which falls alongside Hammer's disco-inspired "Red Alert". With all that mentioned, there's no overlooking Levska's own "Amps On Route One" - the inspired opener to her piping hot Ibiza mix.

Review: Belfast-born producer Rory Hamilton, known as Hammer, showcases his adeptness in the underground sound with his latest offering, Red Alert. With a pedigree co-helming Feel My Bicep and releases on Optimo and Shall Not Fade, Hammer's disco sound travels globally. "Red Alert" goes large with its superbly chugging rhythm, featuring a sleazy low end and cosmic arpeggios, grounded by a taught bassline. Its subtly euphoric atmosphere, Italo chord progressions, and retro sound designs inject some vibrant colour into the mix. Shackling up for the single is ABSOLUTE., a luminary of the London dance scene also, who delivers a raw and percussive remix that harkens back to early Chicago house, adorned with rave-ready stabs and energetic drums.

Review: Five new rubs here of cuts from Dutch producer Isaie's 2022 long-playing debut. 'Psycho' drew on influences like coldwave, new beat and Italo disco, and Gerd Jansen and SHMLSS's remixes of 'ACE' and 'Hypnosis', respectively, don't mess with that script overmuch. Kiara Scuro & Tech Support give 'Psycho' a more radical makeover, transforming the new beat-ish chug of the original into something altogether more upbeat, danceable and acidic, but it's Eagles & Butterflies' two mixes of 'Vice II' that stand out in the reinvention stakes, taking the 80s-style European synth-pop of the original and putting it onboard a remix express that's stopping at house, trance and Italo on its way to the dancefloor...

Jamie xx feat Honey Dijon
Review: Jamie xx and Honey Dijon team up for a floor-filling heater on "Baddy On The Floor," coming hot on the heels of a string of Jamie xx releases over the past few years, including "idontknow," "Let's Do It Again," and most recently, "It's So Good" in January. The track is a disco house fusion, pulsing with a classic energy. Jamie xx expertly weaves a sample of Keni Burke's "Let Somebody Love You" into the production, creating a sense of nostalgic familiarity. Honey Dijon adds their signature touch, infusing the polished sound with a hint of underground club magic. 2024 summer banger!

Review: Make a Dance member and XCESS Records co-founder make his production debur last year via a collaboration with Wolfram on Public Possession. Here he goes solo for the first time, popping up on Nocturne Music with the quietly impressive Mindways EP. The central focal point is 'Touch', a fusion of '80s electrofunk, proto-house and acid house sounds rich in echoing drum machine hits, restless Latin percussion, ghostly chords, raw acid bass and dewy-eyed vocal snippets. It comes backed with an instrumental take plus a trio of high-grade future dancefloor hits: EBM-goes-bleep workout 'Mindways', dub disco-powered slow house number 'A Little Love' and sparkling, mid-80s Italo-disco style workout 'Diska Tek!'.

Review: Leinad's "Electric City," originally released in 1997 and recently reissued on Kabinett 48 Recordings with bonus tracks, is a delightful journey through the heart of deep house. This remastered version offers a chance to experience, or revisit, the sound that captivated dancefloors in the late 90s. The album opens with "In Trouble," setting the mood with a laid-back groove and warm pads. Tracks like "Freak Tonight" and "Pretty Young Thing" showcase Leinad's talent for crafting infectious melodies that lodge themselves in your head. These tracks are perfect for dancefloors or simply cruising down the street with the windows down. While the album leans heavily on classic deep house elements, it throws in some surprises. "Back 2 The 80'S" is a synth-heavy homage to the previous decade, complete with playful video game-inspired melodies. "Let's Snip!" offers a brief intermission with a chopped-up vocal sample that adds a touch of playfulness to the mix. For those who remember the 90s house scene, "Electric City" is a delightful trip down memory lane.

Review: Almost two years on from the release of his fine - if arguably under-appreciated - debut album Waving, Athens veteran Lex returns to Leng Records with an EP that combines killer revisions of album tracks with two previously unreleased originals. The remixes are particularly impressive, with Faze Action's wonderfully colourful, pitched-down Balearic nu-disco revision of 'Punta Allen' - where the Lee brothers successfully add to the original version's cheery musicality - being followed by Ruf Dug's gloriously eccentric, acid-flecked house-not-house version of 'Prezend'. Elsewhere, 'Super Awake' is an immersive, TB-303-sporting chunk of sunrise dancefloor psychedelia, and Locke hook-up 'Libre D'Amor' is a glassy-eyed chunk of piano-powered '80s house nostalgia.

Review: "Shut The Lights Out" is a funky throwback brimming with infectious energy, courtesy of Berlin production duo Lovebirds and vocalist NILE. Lovebirds channel their well-regarded love for 70s and 80s sounds into a groovy production. The foundation is an arresting funk beat, bolstered by classic disco instrumentation and dreamy synths. NILE's vocals are the perfect compliment, with a motivational spoken-word style that adds another layer of interest. The package is completed by a remix from disco aficionado Birdee, who takes the original's sparkling energy and adds their own signature touch. Birdee's remix is an upbeat and spacey take, perfect for extending the dancefloor journey.

Review: Billed as a "tribute to the forgotten late '80s/early '90s era of Bhangra influenced by house, dub and hip-hop", this expansive collection boasts fresh remixes of tracks from Manjeet Kondal's 1986 album 'Holle Holle', and a fresh cut featuring vocal samples from that set. Mr Scruff steps up to provide the remixes, offering four passes on 'Ishkaan de Mamie': a deliciously jacking, proto house-meets-acid house full vocal remix that lasts for just a shade under 10 mesmerising minutes, a sleazy and percussive 'Instrumental Dub', an alternative 'Vocal Strip Down' take with added TB-303 tweaks, and a tidy 'Edit'. Turbotito and Ragz deliver 'Pyaar', a brilliant slab of late '80s style Bhangra/hip-hop fusion with added acid lines. The 'Lovey Dubby Dub' is a sensational alternative pass that's arguably better than the duo's original mix.

Review: Mr. Ho's "Freak Like U (Whip Mix)" - a remix that injects fresh energy into Masarima's already potent proto-house anthem "Freak Like U." This isn't your typical remix aiming for dancefloor dominance. Instead, Mr. Ho takes an "alternative route to Rimini," a playful nod to the Italian coastal town synonymous with infectious Italo-house sounds. The track retains the infectious energy of the original, but with a distinct acid house twist.

Review: Fresh from making his bow on Bordello a Parigi with the quirky (and rather good) 'Synthesizer Hits II' EP, Marc Pellerin AKA Panthera pops up on Melodize with another strong offering. Title track 'Hustle' is a bright, breezy and seriously colourful slab of synth-powered nu-disco joyousness - all Chris Lowe chords, jaunty melodies, sequenced Italo-disco bass and unfussy drums, while 'Western Union' is a more throbbing and pulsating slab of wall-of-sound Italo-disco with progressive trance flourishes. Lauer opts for a Pet Shop Boys-go-Balearic vibe on his rework of 'Hustle', while Endik Schroeder joins the dots between neo-trance and surging Italo-disco on a fine remix of 'Western Union'.

Review: Fabrizio Mammarella and Rodion deliver a momentous release with Musica E Computer - recorded in the legendary Marche Synth Museum in Italy. The opening track "Iris" sets an exceptional tone, exploring eerie, metallic tropical landscapes, while others like "A Corrente Alternata" and "Un Segnale Di Speranza" showcase Mammerella and Rodion's unmatched partnership, crafting enigmatic, timeless earworms with driving basslines and arcane vocoders. Throughout the album, the duo seamlessly blends synthetic and organic sounds, offering a geographic coda to the Italian region's rich musical history. Musica E Computer culminates in "Una Nuova Era", a transcendent homage to the recording synth drenched studio the album was recorded in which makes for some Italorama to the fullest!

Review: A single-tracker here from Russian DJ/producer Anton Bogomolov, better known as Scruscru, coming as ever on his own Scruniversal label. A title like 'Spring Jazz Session' is always gonna be fairly evocative, so you might think you have a pretty good idea what to expect here already... and you'd be pretty much right. Opening with tinkling keys over gentle percussion before introducing a walking bassline and, eventually, an understated 4/4 kick, this mellow, summery groove with its lead flute line is definitely one for afternoon and poolside sessions rather than Saturday night dancefloor abandon - but served on a good system at the right time, it'll sound just heavenly.

Stacy Kidd feat Peven Everett
Review: Two Chi-town veterans scene join forces with predictably fine results that are served up in three quite different mixes. In its Original form, 'Body Jerkin' is a disco-house paean to the delights of the dancefloor with a full vocal from Everett, live-sounding hand percussion and naggingly familiar disco strings. The Chicago Mix kicks much harder from the off with rock-solid 4/4s, but almost immediately takes a far jazzier turn with meandering, wigged-out keys, Everett getting his scat on and horns joining the party around the three-minute mark. And then there's the Disco Mix, which opts for a more 70s-ish sound palette but takes a looping, cut-up approach. All three are eminently playable but the Chicago Mix is the one for the proverbial 'heads'.

Review: Two recent cuts from Russian disco don Alexander Chebankov, better known as Sunner Soul, get handed over to fellow St Petersburg native Unclepasha - whose musical CV dates back to the early 00s - for the remix treatment. His take on 'Right Place', which first appeared on last month's 'Something Good' EP, tones down the boogie and jazz-funk influences of the original and ends up deeper and smoother as a result. Conversely, he's kept the boogie stylings of 'Need You' (taken from February's 'Da Funk' EP) intact and arguably even emphasised them, in a dubbed-out remix that gets distinctly Levan/Peech Boys-esque in places.

Review: Following a fine debut on Apparel Music alongside Paul Bart 14 months ago, Tamati delivers a solo debut on Mexican label Saint Wax. Title track 'Notte in Riviera' places seductive Italian vocals atop a blend of moody nu-disco synths and jacking acid house grooves - all sweaty drum machine handclaps, addictive bass and sun-splashed lead lines - while 'Tutto Un Déjà vu' blurs the boundaries between early '90s Italo-house and warehouse-ready house cuts of the late 1980s. Finally, Tamari takes us towards the early hours with bold and beautiful acid house workout 'Magica'.

Review: Three big, booming club tracks here courtesy of Xols, AKA Spanish producer Carla Aguilo. 'Wake Me Up' has nothing to do with the Avicii hit but instead starts out as a lively little house roller that's got energy to spare. Then in come some very Euro-sounding synths, and by the midpoint they've taken us all the way to the trance border, though you'll likely be too busy dancing to care. 'Syndicate Of Love' and 'La Gralla Catalana' similarly marry house beats to the big, analogue synth sounds of mainland Europe in the 1980s, but 'Wake Me Up' is the one.
