Roots EditsEXCLUSIVE
Played by: Juno Recommends Disco
Review: Portuguese producer Alkalino has been relatively quiet of late, at least by his own prolific standards, so it's hardly a surprise to find that his return to action is an album-length collection of tried-and-tested re-edits with a firm focus on the dancefloor. He begins with the bass-heavy Afro-disco bounce of 'Superstition', before variously serving up post-punk disco throb-jobs ('Warp'), guitar-laden disco-rock ('5 Letters'), percussion-laden global disco excess ('Kingston Town'), tooled-up Zimbabwean excellence ('Lion of Zimbabwe'), what sounds like a synth-laden William Onyeabor revision ('Be My Angel'), filter-heavy Afro house-not-house ('Just Begun') and colourful highlife reworks ('Oh Deus').

Review: Number three in a series whose title was self-explanatory to start with, so you should have a pretty good idea what's going on here as re-editor par excellence Alkalino makes free with 11 more nuggets from days of yore. Getting the treatment this time are Prince's '1999', Michael Jackson's 'Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough', Dire Straits' 'So Far Away', Rocksteady Crew's 'Hey You', Journey's 'Don't Stop Believing', King's 'Love And Pride', Visage's 'Move Up', The Smiths' 'Bigmouth Strikes Again', The Stranglers' 'Always The Sun' and a couple of unidentified cuts (one of which sounds like it might be The Human League while the other has a Front 242/Meat Beat Manifesto-like feel)... some surprising sources there for sure, but they're all handled with Alkalino's trademark aplomb so listen with open ears!

Review: The ever reliable Alkalino returns on his esteemed Audaz label with a new offering titled the Old Memories EP. As we"ve noticed from recent relases by the Munich-based artist, there's been more of a tech house influence creeping into his work, much to impressive effect. From the hypnotic and bass-driven main room groove of "Rumble", to the sensual late night mood music of the title track - which is top shelf deep house if we do say so ourselves. Finally, he channels that dusty Berlin hip-hop influenced sound, as popularised by Max Graef and Glenn Astro, on the urban vibe of "Pizza Minelli".

Review: Alkalino - aka Portuguese producer Lino Polonio - serves up a three-tracker on his own Munich-based Audaz label. Audaz's catalogue spans both nu-disco and deep house, but we're firmly in the latter camp this time out, with the squelchy, synth-y 'Mariposa' itself getting the ball rolling on a Detroit-y kinda tip before 'Ricochete' takes us on a dubbed-out excursion that'll be perfect for weary 4am floors which are already locked-on and deep in the zone. Completing the EP is 'Formel', which is more uptempo and urgent in feel, with lots of electro-y glitches and bassline nods to the rave daze (think Acen or early 4 Hero).

Review: Munich machine Alkalino returns on his esteemed Audaz label with the Matcha EP, which carries on with the prolific Portugal-born producer's new pusuit of minimal/tech-house sounds - all infused with his good ol' love of nu-disco grooves. From the slinky and hypnotic mood music of "Pythagoras" which is reminiscent of the Diynamic label's early output, or the aptly titled "Back To Minimal" which funnily enough has more of a dub influence (but still very much worth your while) and - proving that there's yet more in his sonic repertoire - he goes out all guns blazing on the fierce, Berlin-themed techno banger "Ice Cold" (version 2).

Review: Munich machine Alkalino is back, with a brand new piping-hot jam for his esteemed Audaz label. "Growth" is a surprising departure from what we have come to know from the Portugese producer; this sublime and hypnotic exploration in dancefloor drama has more in common with the sounds of Life & Death or Afterlife than disco - but the intermittent diva vocals throughout are a signal that it's still an integral part of his sound. "Growth" (part 2) takes a more sinister turn, going deeper and darker into the afterhours in tunnelling fashion. Finally, he gets his funky groove on with the White Isle tech house party vibe of "Stay Sane".

Review: Lino Pol?nio aka Alkalino returns to his Audaz imprint to deliver this superb EP. "Mad About Kelly" is a highly distinctive track; underpinned by a clanging bass and powered by rolling drums, it sees the label owner also weave in some infectious vocal snippets over its skipping rhythm. it's like a steel-plated, turbo-charged fusion of underground techno and 2-step. On "Less", Pol?nio changes tact; the rhythm is straighter and led by tribal drums and an ominous bass, but once again, he uses a hypnotic vocal sample that intones the term 'less is more'. In the case of both tracks, this sentiment proves to be correct.

Review: All time great Alkalino looks to the headlines for a Dark Room Scandal! Sending in deeper house vibes for this three-track release, there's a playful spirit to the dark side of this EP. "Orson Welles" sees the slightest of disco influences maintained in the track's percussion alongside deeper basslines, melodies and tripped out vocals. Dubby bassline house is paired with starry synths loops in "Dancing With Somebody", with the title-track doubling down on its clap-track, industrial atmospheres and suspenseful strings. Alkalino goes deep.

Review: Two very well-known samples lie at the heart of this latest EP from Audaz boss Alkalino, which should help ensure maximum dancefloor appeal. 'Nightmare Walking' borrows the "I am a nightmare walking" line from Ice-T's 'Colors' (as famously used on Kid Unknown's rave-era Warp classic 'Nightmare') and places it atop a solid, rolling house backdrop. Or at least, Version 1 does: the accompanying Version 2 is a more bottom-heavy, instrumental pass and perhaps better suited to deeper floors. 'Gimme A Fat Beat' also harks back to the rave days with its cavernous bass and reedy organs, while lifting the titular vocal snip from Kraze's much-sampled 'The Party'.

Review: Munich Machine Alkalino is back with more well crafted grooves that you've come to expect from the man - courtesy of his always reliable Audaz imprint. Although more renowned for his edits in the past, the Portuguese producer has now made the transition to the studio proper - and producing his own creations to rather impressive effect. The most surprising thing is that it's not disco - as the slinky and hypnotic tech-house of "Flaucher" pleasantly demonstrates. Something reminiscent of the early noughties electroclash scene can he heard on the frantic groove of "Latest Joint" followed by some dirty boogie-down bounce on the tough closer "Storm 2"

Review: Maybe it was his move to Munich that inspired his conversion to house, but whatever it was, Portuguese disco edit don Alkalino's original productions have got a lot more mechanical indeed. This is not a bad thing, it just means we get less disco for now. This latest two-tracker boasts a pair of tracks that presents deep and sparse robotic house grinder "Bang The Box" and the frankly superior spooky rhythmic riser, "Dementia".
