Review: UK comer Chewy Rubs (Deep Sense/Chopshop/Situation Sounds) is up next for London's Midnight Riot. It's all things retro ("Cosmo Disco"), slo-mo ("To The Party") and indeed lo-slung ("Gonna Make You Feel"), these four lush and loopy disco jams that still retain their dusty and vintage sensibilities and are quality jams that are welcome additions to any serious Disco Stu's arsenal.

Review: As you might extrapolate from the title, Riot In Lagos is Midnight Riot's tribute to the endearing influence of African dance music. In typical style, this is achieved through a blend of contemporary productions, sample-heavy cuts and edits of original African material. The standard is impressively high throughout, with little in the way of fluff or filler. Highlights include, but are not limited to, the inspired deep house/Afro-disco fusion of Mena & Melgado's "African Food", the rich deep house bump of Yam Who's "How We Do", the dense percussion and glistening guitars of Drop Out Orcherstra's Candido tribute, "Jin Go La", and the pitched-down, Fela-in-dub chug of Hober Mallow's "Egbe Mi O". Oh, and Jonny Walters' hypnotic Afro-boogie shuffler "Jam Bo Ree".

Review: Since making his debut on Superbreak back in 2012, hirsute edit fiend Chewy Rubs has delivered a steady stream of rock solid rework EPs. Morphed sees him make his first appearance on Fingerman's label, Hot Digits, and boasts six solid servings of dancefloor fun. There's an attractive breeziness about wiggly, synth-laden P-funk rework "See The Light", while "Rockit 2 Me" sees him expertly working a slap-bass and percussion-laden boogie stomper. He's always been good at packing plenty of energy into his edits, and this side of his work is expertly showcased on the EP's three strongest moments, "Shake It Now", "Get Dancing", and the almost broken-disco shuffle of "First Voyage".

Review: Fingerman's Hot Digits imprint has packed in a lot of releases over the past 12 months, as this expansive roundup of the label's second year in business proves. Featuring 27 tracks and a bonus mix by the South Coast dwelling label boss, there's naturally plenty to admire. Highlights include, but are not limited to, the rolling, head-nodding grooves of Eyeco M's "Keeping It To Myself", the killer proto-house throb of "Tonight" by Bad Barbie vs Evil Smarty, the sexy, string-drenched disco loveliness of P-Sol's "Can't You See", LTJ's trumpet-boasting funk bumper "Fat Thing", and the hard-wired, bass-heavy rework of Julia & Company's "Breakin' Down (Sugar Samba)" by Melon Bomb. It is, though, all pretty darn hot.

Review: UK veteran edit master Chewy Rubs steps out of his own Chewy outlet and lands on the old-school-friendly Masterworks Music. He's in a disco mood, as per usual, and he's mashing up samples and beats like no tomorrow; we have five juicy pieces of dancefloor gold on here, the more magical moments residing in the funky and riff-driven "Makes You Blind" (Don't Stop edit)", the man's BSP dub of the string-heavy "Burning Up", and his dubbier dub of "Found Love". Party tools.

Review: There's a reason that Midnight Riot's eponymous compilations frequently charge to the top of the Juno Download charts. Put simply, they never disappoint. This ninth installment sticks to the now tried-and-tested formula - house-friendly re-edits and originals from across the disco, boogie, soul and funk spectrum - but predictably hits the spot throughout. As usual, there's a bonus mix - this time put together by globe-trotting scalpel jockey Rayko - and tracks come from both label regulars ('80s Child, Ziggy Phunk, Chewy Funk) and an impressive array of new or unheralded talents. It's in the latter category that you'll find some of the most impressive fare - see Phil Jaimes deliciously Balearic "Nowhere To Hide" and Cosmocomics' kaleidoscopic synth-funk jam "Mary Jane" - though the standard remains pleasingly high throughout.

Review: Fingerman's Hot Digits imprint has always reflected his production style, delivering releases that gleefully blur the boundaries between re-edits, remixes and original material, and blend elements of disco, funk, soul, boogie and deep house. This groovy, warm and floor-friendly formula is much in evidence on this first anniversary compilation. Featuring a blend of previously released gear, exclusives and a bonus DJ mix from Fingerman, Hot Digits: Year One is an effortlessly entertaining collection. There's naturally much to admire, from the subtle house beats and P-funk synths of Fingerman's own "Shine Yo Litez" (a rework of an old Grangers tune), and the disco-funk chunkiness of Groove Motion's "Party Now", to the compressed, dubbed-out disco house madness of Chewy Rubs' "Let It Go".

Review: Unheralded re-edit master Chewy Rubs pops up on Midnight Riot with four more tried-and-tested chunks of discoid gold. The rubbery, delay-laden boogie of "Universal Love" - think slap-bass, echoing vocal samples, synth squiggles and shuffling house drums - kicks things off, before "Party On & Get Down" successfully rearranges a smooth disco-funk shuffler. There's a dash of subdued disco bounce in the shape of "I'll Tell You", before "Let It Lay" delivers the knock-out punch - a righteous chunk of squidgy P-funk with just the right amount of delay-laden low-slung disco flavour. All four tracks are expertly teased and tweaked, suggesting they'll prove popular on disco floors over the next few months.

Review: Everybody loves a good collaboration and Chewy Rubs is happy to oblige, hooking up here with fellow acclaimed producer, Fingerman. We get four meetings of minds here, covering feelgood piano stomps ("Everybody Loves A Good Thing"), strings 'n' guitar jams ("Power"), cool and sparse low-slung bass workouts ("Hit On You") and discofied electro-funk ("Take You Home"). More please!

Review: Anonymous edit artist Chewy calls up Italian DJs Giacomo Fioranelli and Matteo Verdini to help him rekindle the fire of house music's oldest roots. The result is a bumping, piano-struck session that promises serious dancefloor wriggles and giggles. "Piano Attack" is an epic homage to the piano, all perky and jazzy thanks to the playful subversions of the key riff. "Prince Street" follows a similar suit but with added slap-bass and a gutsy soul vocal. "Heaven", meanwhile, looks more towards the Mr Fingers style of early house music with big 808s, smouldering bass tight, sharp 909 hi-hats. Timeless.

Review: There's almost no information available on Soundcloud re-edit hero Chewy Rubs, except that he hails from the UK. Instead he prefers to let the music do the talking and this time he's, cough, eschewed his normal nu-disco fare in favour of some acidic grit. Track one takes "Ooh I Love It" by the Salsoul Orchestra and gives it a bouncy 303 injection, Track two arpeggiates the bassline for some seriously moody electro-disco business and track 3 wraps things - and the listener - up in swathes of trippy jackin' delirium.

Review: On a retro TV show, Imagination singer Lee John discussed how everybody thought they were an impossibly glamourous an beautifully produced American soul act...until they learnt that they were from Brixton. After that they were just dismissed as a camp joke. Thankfully the passing of time has proved them to be the former, resulting in many respectful tributes, if maybe one too many unnecessary re-edits. Also included are retweaks of Alphonse Mouzon's wonderful "Everybody Get Down" and the electro-squiggles/funk of Stephanie Mills' "You Can Get Over".

Review: Australian producer Superbreak has made a habit of using his label to introduce new talent. Here he showcases the re-edit work of mysterious Brit Chewy Rubs, a recent hit on Soundcloud. There's plenty for disco heads to enjoy, from the epic, percussion-heavy strobelight rinse-out of "Hi Gloss" - probably the highlight - and proto-house dubbiness of Serious Intention re-dub "Seriously", to the classic NYC electro flavour of "Boogie Down Bronx" (a Man Parrish re-rub, unsurprisingly). There are a couple of misses, if truth be told, but the hits really do hit hard. "Hi-Gloss", in particular, is superb.
