Review: Eighteen tracks make up this latest compilation from St Petersburg's DOBRO label, but let's focus on just two of them. BDK's 'Tender Love' is a mid-90s sounding poppy houser with a saccharine, near-falsetto female vocal - in the old days you could have flipped it to find a speed garage remix from Sol Brothers, Gant or Nu-Birth - while Ten Fingerz' 'Wee Groovy Thing' is a deep, jazzy, delicate piano piece with an extended spoken word breakdown in the middle. The two are very different and shouldn't go together, but heard in the context of 'DOBRO Tape 005', hearing the latter after the former is like slipping into a nice hot bath after a good workout - just what the doctor ordered! Now take that musical breadth and faultless programming, multiply it by 16 more cuts spanning deep, disco and acid house as well as nu-disco and boogie, and let's face it... you need this album, don't you?

Review: BDK, the emerging Irish production genius, is back with a bang on his very own Say Namm imprint, with a sensational new disco release, guaranteed to ignite the dancefloor. Packed with four tracks overflowing with energy, soul, and pure fun, BDK showcases his exceptional disco skills and impeccable taste, incorporating the grooviest elements imaginable. It starts with "Let's Dance," an infectious and high-octane track that ingeniously samples the legendary Bowie's iconic song, infusing it with a funky twist. Check on "Thelma", an uplifting masterpiece taking Houston's mesmerizing vocals from a timeless classic hit and seamlessly blends them with funky instrumentation. Overall, this EP presents vibrant melodies, infectious rhythms, and the sheer joy encapsulated in each carefully crafted track.

Review: BDK's first outing on Belfast-based Say Namm was packed to the rafters with energetic, peak-time ready ready reworks that tended towards the housier end of the re-edit spectrum. This follow-up is, unsurprisingly, similarly inclined. The rising star sets his stall out via the gently jacking drum machine beats, funky disco bass and fiendishly tweaked sampled loops of 'Just Can't Be Without You', before sticking a peak-time house rocket up a gospel-seeped disco gem on the righteous and life-affirming 'All I Want'. Bumpin', boogie-sampling disco-house bustle is the order of the day on the bass-heavy, sweat-soaked celebration that is 'Oh What A Life', while 'Disco Sauce' is a string-drenched, French Touch style dancefloor treat.

Review: We've had to wait a few months, but finally BDK's Say Namm label debut has finally come to digital download. The four-track collection of tooled-up edits received rave reviews on its vinyl release and listening back to the tracks now it's easy to see why. Opener 'Pattie' is a fiendishly weighty, beefed-up disco-house revision of a classically string-drenched vintage disco gem, while 'Blow Your Mind' takes a similarly beefy, energetic and breathless approach to tweaking a swirling disco-funk number for contemporary house dancefloors. Arguably even better is 'Love Vibration', a loose-limbed and insatiably funky house-style take on a disco classic of the same name, though horn-toting, breakdown-heavy slammer 'It's The Right Time' pushes it close. Muscular disco-house edits for those who like it hot and heavy.
