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: 11 years have now passed since Italian disco scene stalwarts Daniele Baldelli (AKA the originator of the 'cosmic disco' sound) and DJ Rocca first joined forces in the studio. They've released plenty of must-check material since - including two solid albums - but this EP for Gottwax is actually their first joint effort for three years. They begin by peppering a rubbery, squelchy, post-electro groove with jaunty guitars, mind-mangling electronics and sparkling synthesizer lead lines on 'Blanka', before dipping the tempo to 110 BPM on the Yellow Magic Orchestra-does-cosmic disco flex of 'Flava'. 'Verdeta' is another loose-limbed, analogue-rich synth dancer full of bubbly riffs and interestingly programmed drums, while 'Helblua' is a modular and analogue-heavy slab of lo-fi electronic disco cheekiness.

Dimitri From Paris - "Defected Presents Dimitri From Paris In The House Of Disco" (Neo Vintage Disco mix) - (1:18:53) 123 BPM
Dimitri From Paris - "Defected Presents Dimitri From Paris In The House Of Disco" (Neo Vintage House mix) - (1:17:49) 124 BPM

Review: No one does contemporary disco like Dimitri From Paris. And no one has the compilation licensing clout like Defected. Naturally this is a match made in glitterball heaven as DFP spans 40 years of grooves with a spotless collection of his own edits and upfront jams. Ranging from his own twists on standard disco gems such as "Le Freak" and "Lost In Music" to the likes of Disclosure's "F For You" and Todd Terje's "Delorean Dynamite" this is, without question, one of Defected's most extensive, expansive and exciting collections to date - which really is saying something. A natural fit for all house, disco and funk fans young and old.

Review: FAR are excited to bring Chris Coco and DJ Rocca to the label for this release. Meeting at La Casella festival in Italy in the summer of 2019, the duo decided to team up in the studio resulting in the ''Discoteca'' EP, a shimmering slice of Balearic, Disco House containing all the right ingredients and forward motion required for maximum sunshine or nightime connection. Discoteca (The Heavy Fun Dub Mix), they manage to create a heady cocktail of synth riffs, ARhodes and Guitars all underpinned by a solid bass line, nodding to the Jazz funk of Atmosphere with the edge of Dinosaur L recording in Italy circa 1982. AAntonio prosper turns up on vocals, whispering, and chanting, evoking imagery of a night out in the mid-summer heat somewhere in southern Europe.

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: Here's something to cheer: the first EP from Dimitri From Paris and DJ Rocca's collaborative Erodiscotique project following the release of last year's superb debut album on BBQ Japan. As usual, their inspirations and musical reference points tend towards the vintage. Opener "One For Frankie", for example, smothers a vintage Chicago house groove with the kind of dreamy, positive and melodious musical flourishes that were a hall mark of Frankie Knuckles best productions, while "Zanzibar" pays tribute to the bustling, percussive, synth-heavy pressure of early '80s NYC and NJ "proto-house" productions. "Don't You Feel The Same", on the other hand, wraps sweet Balearic synth lines around a chunky, "French Touch" style disco-house groove.

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: German label Jackoff reboot a series whose last volume dropped way back in 2014. It's an impressively varied set: Matthias Vogt serves up some electro-inspired prog on 'Love Plus One' (nothing to do with Haircut 100), Joal and Jepe flirt with both Detroit techno and Italo-disco, Jakobin pays homage to the hardcore/proto-jungle era with the aptly-titled 'Cold Breaks', DJ Rocca mashes up dub and rave on 'Como Esta', and Freestyle Man takes us into leftfield electro territory on closer 'Phobos Protectorate'. It would be a VERY open-minded DJ or dancefloor that'd love all six in equal measure, but conversely, the stylistic range on offer makes this worth checking for jocks of many persuasions.

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.

Review: File Under Disco have amassed some serious respect in house and new disco corners. Check these glittering grooves from Maffia Club's Rocca and you'll understand just why: "Pizza On Wednesday" struts and sways with beautifully rounded Prelude-style bass run, soft sexy vocals and charming flute parps. Elsewhere we hit "A Magical Day", a seriously spaced out, stripped back nodder that's peppered with bubbly FX, staccato synths and a muscular bassline. "Love Power", meanwhile, is as authentically disco as it gets: big strings, cheeky synth squiggles on the fills and, above all, a big old stomping groove. Feel the love!
