Review: Faze Action man Robin Lee returns in his Andromeda Orchestra guise to serve up some more high-class disco goodness for your Saturday night dancefloor. ‘Crazy Lady’ has a sprightly little piano riff at its heart, which it marries to crisp, driving beats, an understated but pleasingly squelchy funk bassline, some nice Moog-y sounds and boogie-style male vox. Remix-wise you get simple Dub and Instrumental versions to play with so there’s really not much more to tell you, except to confirm that it’s all pulled off with exactly the kind of aplomb you’d expect from one of the true disco-house/nu-disco pioneers.

Review: As the title suggests, this on-point collection showcases some of the killer disco dubs and house-powered cuts released over the last few years on Faze Action's FAR imprint - mostly revisions of their various collaborative and solo projects. There's plenty to set the set the pulse racing throughout, from the extra-percussive acid house insanity of Andromeda Project's 'Starry Eyed' and the proto-house-meets-Syclops flex of 'Let It Happen (Shagone Deep)' by Rudy's Midnight Machine and Zeke Maniyaka, to the dubbed-out disco rush of the Reflex's synth bass-propelled dub of Faze Action's 'I Wanna Dancer', and the delay-laden dub disco purism of Idjut Boys member Conrad McDonnell's 'Playing Away' mix of Andromeda Orchestra's 'Bad Girl'.

Review: Faze Action's Robin Lee has made many fine solo records under the Andromeda Orchestra alias, more often than not colourful and classic-sounding re-inventions of original disco and boogie with a subtle nu-disco twist. That's what's on offer on 'Swing On', an excellent instrumental excursion that marks the long-serving musician/producer's second single of 2024. In typical fashion, the track is suitably big, with spiralling synthesizer lines, Chic style guitar licks and rousing piano motifs rising above a rubbery bassline and sweat-soaked peak-time disco percussion. Lee then doffs a cap to the Idjut Boys and other dub disco scene stalwarts on a stripped-back-but-effects laden dancefloor dub that's equally as impressive as the full version.

Review: Robin 'Faze Action' Lee returns in Andromeda Orchestra guise with a truly sumptuous, classic-style disco houser that's served up in simple Original and Instrumental variants. 'Do It (Like You Mean It)' opens with warm kicks and rolling hand percussion, before a rising synth ushers in a fat 'n' funky bassline, followed by a nice squelchy synth lead, electric piano chords and, eventually, a chorused female vocal, with strings, guitars and some fine Hammond work all joining the party as the track progresses. And a party it certainly is! Top drawer disco-house from one of the originators of the style.

Review: First out on the "Mozambique" EP in March, this latest outing by Faze Action man Robin Lee in his Andromeda Orchestra guise now gets a brace of pretty radical makeovers courtesy of fellow UK veteran Conrad McDonnell, of Idjut Boys fame. In its Original form "Bad Girl" was a fairly light and upbeat nu-disco jam with strong 70s influences, but McDonnell's Playing Away Mix drags it down an altogether darker, trippier path - all throbbing bass and warping sci-fi FX - while his Step Naughty Mix is a more stripped-back pass and probably best served to 5am floors that are already well into the zone...

Review: Faze Action Records bring us what's technically a V/A comp, though only one track - 'Les Vacances...' by Brazilian veteran Micky Milan - has actually come out of anyone's studio other than Robin Lee's, be that with brother Simon as Faze Action or in solo mode as Andromeda Orchestra/Rudy's Midnight Machine. Still, that does at least ensure a certain consistency in both tone and quality as the album moves inexorably from the near-ambient 'Crystal Dragonfly' and the hazy, lazy 'Floating World', via the phat 'n' squelchy 'Kano Line Dance', to the (early/proto) house-isms of 'Reach Backless' and 'Magic Touch', before 'Mangwana' (feat Zeke Manyika) plays us out on an energetic, uplifting note.

Review: Robin Lee makes his most organic disco sounds as Andromeda Orchestra and Faze Action Records have tapped him up for more sonic treasure here. His signature sound is apparent from the off with the dancefloor dub vibes of EP opener 'Bad Girl.' It's bold bass, string stabs and robust pianos are all run through with a fine Moog solo. There is then plenty of cello and vocal delight to 'Twilight Lady' and a fiery dance floor cut 'Mozambique' as well as a full vocal mix of 'Bad Girll' to close out the EP.

Review: On this all-action EP, Faze Action member Robin Lee dons the Andromeda Orchestra alias for the first time in two years. He starts in confident and aurally attractive fashion with 'Dance Closer', a glorious chunk of colourful nu-disco bliss rich in jazz-funk influenced synth sounds and smile-inducing grooves, before opting for clipped disco guitars and chunkier low-end pressure on 'Prima Ventura'. 'Inferno' sees Lee giddily skip towards cheery, string-laden 1970s disco pastures, while closing cut 'Hoops' is an explosion of synth-laden aural colour that sits somewhere between nu-disco, classic jazz-funk and mid-tempo 1980s boogie. Superb stuff as ever!

Review: More from Faze Action member Robin Lee's offshoot Andromeda Orchestra project, whose throbbing and forthright releases have previously joined the dots between revivalist disco and the synthesizer-driven world of Italo-disco. In its original form (track three), "Don't Stop" is an authentically produced riff on the K.I.D track of the same name rich in swooping, razor-sharp strings, Clavinet-happy disco grooves and glassy-eyed female vocals. It comes accompanied by a stellar peak-time remix from Lee's old pal Ray Mang - all layered drum fills, swirling noises and jangling piano riffs - and a spacey, beat-free ambient "Reprise". Bonus cut "Kano Line Dance", a funky mid-tempo shuffler that joins the dots between boogie, jazz-funk and P-funk, is also rather tasty.

Review: Though billed as a various artists compilation, this is essentially a career-spanning Faze Action 'best of' that also includes a handful of collaborations and contributions from their various side projects (Andromeda Orchestra, Rudy's Midnight Machine). And yes, it stretches all the way back to 'In The Trees'! Long-term fans will of course have much of the material featured here already, which makes the non-FA cuts even more welcome, but if you're just discovering the musical delights of the brothers Lee, then this collection is a great way to get better acquainted before delving into the full, extensive back catalogue...

Review: Faze Action's label is the perfect home for this unearthed disco gem by cult concern Andromeda Orchestra. Total groove authority Nick The Record has been tasked with the serious job of editing "Get Up & Dance", and he does a bang up job of eking out the original to create an elongated dancefloor workout. "High Steppin" ramps up the funk, as does the fourth track cut "Koochi Koo" with its wah wah guitar and expressive keys. This is a stellar EP for anyone craving a few fresh but classic weapons for the disco. And you know by disco we mean proper disco.

Review: Nu-disco pioneers, Faze Action (brothers Simon and Robin Lee) have a long and respected history, not least due to the sterling work of their legendary label, FaR. Here they collate a heady selection of sizzling bangers from their impressive back catalogue. There's a whopping 19 gems to get your teeth into, highlights including the Les Rhymes Digitales meets Studio 54 vibes of "Don't Loose Control" by Del Strange, the perky italo-disco/house hybrid "Freak For Your Love (ST House Mix)" and the Afro-jackin' acid flashback that is "Mangwana feat Zeke Manyika (Paradise '89 dub)".

Review: Given the high quality musical skills of Faze Action's Simon and Robin Lee, you'd expect any side or solo projects to be blessed with the same expansive musicality. That's certainly the case on this second solo EP from one half of the brothers, which doffs a cap to classic New York disco. The title track's the real killer, with live bass, guitars, vocals, drums and keys combining on an authentically warm, loose and floor-friendly disco jam. The disco-funk-meets-Italo flex of "Kano's Line Jam" is almost as good, while "Solonoid" brilliantly pits rubbery disco bass and hissing percussion against Arthur Russell style cello and vintage synthesizers. A pair of throbbing, 21st century dancefloor reworks of the classic-sounding title track complete a great package.

Review: Incredibly, brothers Robin & Simon Lee have been providing us with their slick updates of the classic disco and house sound since 1995! This bumper 25-track collection tells the story from the birth of FA Records in 2006. There's a lot to tell too; it's packed with enough vintage-sounding grooves to shame the Paradise Garage. Highlights include Jay Shepheard's breezy remix of FA's debut "Original Disco Motion", FA's own Rocker's Revenge-esque, "Hypnotic (disco mix)", the linear, chugging arpeggiation of "Touch It" by The Shack, the loopy robot-funk of "Lifestyle 101" by Rudy's Midnight Machine, the moody "revenge mix" of FA's "I Wanna Dancer" and the killer retro house-isms of Miss Cheesecake's "You Must Create", exclusively provided for us lucky folks!

Review: Legendary UK disco imprint Faze Action Records returns with more sweat-drenched dancefloor goodness, this time from the live Andromeda Orchestra outfit. Alongside the requisite Special Disco Version of lead track "Sensitive" (which is ace) we're treated to a typically lush and percussive remix from man like Pete Herbert. Up next, "West Coast Lady" shimmers with a vintage moog bassline, while "He Is Coming" boasts shimmering synths, a slick bassline and a particularly epic vocal backing! This is proper disco music that has been played, not programmed, with live bass, guitar, piano, solina and disco breaks. Don't sleep!
