Review: For their latest foray into the world of house-friendly disco re-edits, the We Mean Disco crew have turned to Italian newcomers Blaxxsoul and Max 909. There's plenty to enjoy, from the head-nodding, looped-up grooves of the decidedly sweet Average White Band cut-up "Wasn't Your Friends" and baggy, synth-laden disco-funk grooves of "Party No Party", to the straight-up party funk of "Back To Old" and sensual bump of Barry White rework "Never Ever Gonna Give You Up". Best of all, though, is "City Lights (Pittbull Version)", an 11-minute, filter-laden re-cut of William Pitt's Balearic disco classic in a loopy midtempo disco-house style.
Review: Here's a tantalizing prospect: an expansive collection of edits and reworks old and new from some of the greatest exponents in the disco scene. With such quality fare on offer, picking highlights is tough, but keep an eye out for the contributions from Frico (a straightened-out and chopped-up version of Orlando Johnson & Trance's boogie classic "Chocolate City"), DJ Prime (a soaring version of disco-soul classic "Nothing's Gonna Hold Us Back"), Manix (the filter-heavy disco-funk workout "Hangin Through") and Alkalino (the heavy P-funk jam "This is a Party"). There's also another chance to enjoy scene classics from Revivra (their brilliant 2010 rework of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On?") and The Apple Scruffs (the vocoder-laden Pink Floyd disco cover "Another Brick In The Wall").
