Review: Born back in 2008, Rayko's Rare Wiri mark their 200th release with an album-length compilation featuring 12 brand new cuts from what the man himself describes simply as "some of my favourite artists out there". The album starts out in laidback, Balearic mode with Secret Soul Society's 'Draw Of The Cards' and ends up back there with Manolo's 'By The Moon', but in-between you'll find the looping, funked-up deep house of Fran Deeper's 'Lost Baby', the shape-throwing 80s Faltermeyer-isms of Kelton Prima's 'The Beggining', Ilya Santana's floor-friendly cover of Vangelis's 'Dervish D', the electro nouveau of From Beyond's 'Star Slip' and more besides. Here's to 200 more!

Review: Four years on from the release of their second single, the colourful house/nu-disco fusion of the 'Rising Grace EP', Italian trio Cappofortuna return to action - and this time they've got sometime Dimitri From Paris collaborator (and stone cold legend) DJ Rocca in tow. The result is an expansive, seven-track mini-album of collaborative cuts that draws not only on their collective love of house and nu-disco, but also Baldelli-style cosmic disco, electro and sub-heavy excursions. Our picks of a very strange bunch include the trippy, fiendishly bass-heavy cosmic electro of 'RCF Train', the Balearic nu-disco squelch of 'White Sneakers', the slow motion, delay-laden sunshine of 'Danze Del Deserto', the Kraftwerk-on-shrooms flex of 'Mars, Venus, Jupiter' and the dream house-goes-nu-disco wonder that is 'Fire & Ice'.

Review: Roam Recordings was set up by Jason 'JP Soul' Peters and Jeni 'Jeniluv' Erickson in 2001, and has since put out records by the likes of Demarkus Lewis, Rhythm Plate, Hesohi and Dino Lenny. For their 100th release/20th anniversary, though, they've avoided the obvious 'best of' route and instead serve up 21 brand new tracks coming from a mix of familiar names (Emperor Machine, DJ Rocca, Tronik Youth) and newcomers. The overall vibe leans towards cosmic and Italo disco, but that's a very broad-brush picture - there are tracks here that could, variously, be filed equally well under house, techno, electro, Balearica or prog. Psychedelic electronic disco at its best.

Review: After 12 years in the game, Spanish nu-disco stable have reached the 100-release milestone, and they're celebrating with an imaginatively titled compilation packing eight brand new tracks that have been handpicked by label boss Rayko. Obviously, with eight tracks from as many artists there's a fair degree of stylistic variety on offer, but the emphasis generally is on heavily electronic grooves - sometimes veering into Balearic/coffee table pastures, sometimes served with a darker, more leftfield twist. It's really more of a home listening album than a collection of club cuts, but for dancefloor purposes start with the contributions from Ilya Santana and Sauco...

Review: Of late, Dean Meredith's Rogue Cat Sounds label has been exploring the more cosmic and Balearic end of the musical spectrum, so it's little surprise to see him welcome Italian legends DJ Rocca and Daniele Badlelli to the imprint. The storied twosome begins in fine fashion via the lilting electric guitar solos and bubby electronic disco grooves of "Sky Dump", before opting for a weirder and more psychedelic dancefloor sound on Afro-Cosmic workout "Massive Birth" and doffing a cap to Yello on the eccentric electronics of "Talorypo". The accompanying remix package is epic and uniformly high standard, though if we were picking favourites we'd opt for Warehouse Preservation Society's warm, thickset nu-disco version of "Talorypo" and Mind Fair's Chicken Lips-esque rework of "Massive Birth".

Review: Spain's Rare Wiri label bring us their second retrospective label comp, which follows on the heels of last year's Vol 1, and just a quick glance at the artists involved - who include Ilya Santana, Rayko, The Beat Broker, Yam Who? and Ziggy Phunk - will give the initiated a pretty good idea of the quality on offer! Gazeebo's 'Soul Dance' is rooted in the deep funk of the early 70s, Phunk's 'Let It Move You' is a brass-spangled disco-house groover, Rayko's 'B-Nano' has an 80s Italo vibe, 'Whishbone' by Parissior channels late 70s Euro-disco, and so it goes on for six more very playable nu-disco bullets.

Review: Italy's Daniele Baldelli has simply kept on innovating since he began experimenting with disco and cosmic house, back in the early 1980s. The DJ-rpducer veteran is back on Real Balearic this week, coming through with some sublime downtempo-ism in "Quagga", a slow, break-centric swarm of delicate melodies that find their own sort of off-kilter movement - not to mention revel in an endless sea of majestic, jazz-friendly sounds. There's two remixes off the back of it, both form Aimes, with the first upping the tempo and crafting more of a house sound from Baldelli's rich sonics, and the second blending in some subtle 303 nuances to make it an altogether more rave-friendly experience.

Review: While more often associated with punk-funk and dirty Italo style dancefloor workouts, Gomma's vast back catalogue contains a string of disco and boogie-inspired gems. To highlight the fact, the label has decided to release a series of EPs featuring some of its finest "Disco Jams". This first installment begins with a fine WhoMadeWho interpretation of Munk and LCD Soundsystem founder James Murphy's Sly Stone style growler, "Kick Out The Chairs", before charging into dub disco-meets-proto-house territory via In Flagranti's "In The Silver White Box". There's another chance to admire Dimitri From Paris and DJ Rocca's Prelude Records tribute, "Eros Disco Theme", while original NYC disco don Nicky Siano channels the spirit of Loose Joints on his fantastic rework of KDMS's "Never Stop Believing".

Review: Daniele Baldelli is in a rich vein of form right now, with each successive release seemingly being stronger than its predecessor. The cosmic disco pioneer's latest project is an album that impressively blurs the boundaries between his original "Afro-cosmic" sound and the horizontal world of Balearica. Predictably, it's a formula that delivers a string of musical highlights, from the woozy easy listening flourishes and head nodding throb of "Quagga" and ambient-soaked late night fluidity of "Dodo", to the restless Afro percussion and jazzy guitars and of "Megaloceros (featuring Verdo)". Those looking for more Padilla-style horizontal thrills should check the "Extra Balearic" mix of "Pongo", while Baldelli's love of vintage analogue synths and lolloping rhythms is successfully explored on album highlight "Lipote".

Review: As resident DJ at infamous Italian disco Cosmic Club, Baldelli pioneered the slow chugging grooves that evolved into both Balearic and Belgian New Beat. Here he teams up with DJ Rocco for the impressive "Poouli". The track is a super cool slice of moody early 80s new wave dance music - all moody tropical vibes, not unlike Jamaica Running by The Pool. Private Agenda's "Sunrise" mix adds ecstasy to the mix for a shimmering masterpiece and Sare Havelicek turns in a stunning, warped-chillwave style jam. Gig Masin meanwhile opts for a beatless, chiming coda. Not a dud in sight on here!

Review: Italy's DJ Rocca has been at it for over a decade now, previously releasing on the likes of Gomma and Slow Motion and turns in some classic first wave Chicago house sounds for Manchester's El Diablos Social Club. "Lets Go Party" is a jacking, early evening groove with soaring synths, cowbells and church organ stabs; all the good stuff basically. The Brioski remix is pretty wicked, working those cowbells a lot more and injecting a kick ass arpeggio into it. "Slumber" is a smooth, downbeat chiller with some trippy and immersive synth leads flying about the place, quite cosmic actually. The remix of it by label boss Neil Diablo is quite impressive, giving it a lovely Balearic touch that transcends the astral plane.
