Review: Auckland, New Zealand's own re-edit don Dave Ti, better known to most as DiCE_NZ, returns with two more reworks of vintage tracks. First to go under the scalpel is Carole King's 'I Feel The Earth Move', here reimagined as a sprightly little piano-led dancefloor roller that works surprisingly well! The original source for 'Bang The Club' sadly has this reviewer beat, but whatever its origins, as presented here it's a midtempo groover with treated, drawn-out "ooooh-aah" vox, a cheeky funk bassline and all manner of FX and synth squiggles going on at the top end.

Review: Kiwi re-edit maestro DiCE_NZ is one of Discoholics Anonymous Recordings' most consistent artists. His continuing 'Highrollers' series, which debuted in the summer of 2021, has provided plenty of killer reworks and this fifth instalment is no different. While there are only two tracks on show, both are genuinely excellent. Up first is 'U Can't Hide', a deliciously shuffling, loose-limbed, hip-hop tempo rework of a gorgeously wide-eyed, loved-up disco gem from the late 1970s. He pushes up the tempo and beefs up the bass on 'Fall In Love', a semi-loopy, effects-laden tweak of a dusty, lesser-known disco-funk delight smothered in twinkling electric piano sounds, eyes-closed female vocal snippets and flanged jazz guitar solos.

Review: Historically, DiCE_NZ releases have mostly been re-edits but the three tracks here appear to be original productions. 'The Situation' itself is a smooth groover with a late 70s soul/jazz-funk vibe and hints of Balearica. Elsewhere, 'Believe Me' is a nicely laidback lil' roller with a jazz-style female vocal from Brittany Kate - we won't insult your intelligence by explaining the Andy Buchan Sax Remix - while 'Don't Ya Know' loops up a snatch of male vocal that may or may not come from the Cate Bros' recording of 'Yield Not To Tempation', and comes with a Fingerman remix that packs some absolutely killer stabs.

Review: The Kiwi king of the re-edit returns with two more reworkings of classic cuts from days of yore. First to get the treatment is Ann Peebles' 'I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down' from 1973, as covered by Paul Young in the 80s - but don't let that put you off, because the original was a bona fide soul anthem and Dice's chopped n' looped take is very playable too. 'Cali Dreamin' meanwhile isn't the Mamas & Papas classic, but instead reworks an unidentified, male-voiced cover thereof. We can tell you it's not the Wes Montgomery, Colorado, Denial or Winston Francis recordings... our disco detectives gave up after that!

Review: Slightly Transformed bring us the latest installment in their occasional compilation series, which follows on from 'Summer Numbers 2019' and 'Summer Numbers 2020'. Regular visitors to this page should need no introduction to the respected London-based label, and with the album packing a whopping 26 tracks, there's certainly no space to give you a full blow-by-blow rundown: suffice to say that whether you're a fan of sparkling boogie nouveau, sumptuous string-drenched disco, deep 'n' groovy house, headnoddin' Balearica or any combination thereof, this is a comp you're gonna want to check for. Standouts for yours truly include Kiosko 33's Chuck Roberts-biting 'Theory Of House' and Kristoff MX's 'Funk With Me', but you'll find your own I'm sure...

Review: A couple of fine re-edits here courtesy of Dice_NZ, AKA Auckland-based Brit DJ Dave Ti and friends. Opener 'Balti More' (source unknown) is a laidback affair with a reggae-like lilt and hints of west coast jazz-funk in the guitars, while 'Let's Think Twice' revisits Donald Byrd's 1975 Blue Note classic 'Think Twice', as sampled or covered by artists as diverse as Armand Van Helden, The Orb, Peanut Butter Wolf and Erykah Badu. Dice_NZ's take was first released as a free download a year or two back, but if you missed out then here's your chance - don't sleep second time around.

Review: DiCE_NZ are a loose collective centred around DJ Dave Ti, a UK native who relocated to Auckland in 2005. He/they made his/their name on the re-edits scene, but has/have latterly made the move into production, working alongside the likes of Fat Freddy's Drop and The Black Seeds and picking up regular spins from Craig Charles. Here, though - in surely the week's most laudable act of recidivism - Dave's up to his old tricks again, reworking Carole King classic 'It's Too Late' and an unidentifed but infuriatingly familiar jazz-funker into mellow, looping jams built for back rooms and post-club chilling.

Review: Two sexy 'n' sophisticated soul/boogie re-edits here from DiCE_NZ, a loose collective of producers and musicians helmed by Auckland-based Fat Freddy's Drop collaborator DJ Dave Ti. 'Paradise' revisits Barbra Streisand & Robin Gibb's 'Promises' from the 1980 'Guilty' album, while Odyssey's 'Don't Tell Me, Tell Her' (also from 1980, and the AA-side to 'Use It Up And Wear It Out') provides the basis for 'Don't Tell Me'. Drawing on such heavy-hitting sources you already KNOW the quality's going to be there, but vibes-wise, think 'Too Slow To Disco' for the first one and '3am at Horse Meat Disco' for the latter.

Review: With 23 tracks to choose from, there's no faulting the value for money offered by this summer compilation from London's Slightly Transformed label. Such an extensive tracklist also offers plenty of scope for stylistic variety, with tracks ranging from laidback, groovesome boogie/soul jams like opener 'What Are We Gonna Do' to the mellow Balearic haze of 'Summer In The City', via the strident 80s attitude of 'Edgy', the looping filter disco of 'Something About Love', the authentic-sounding Blaxploitation funk of 'Mac And Carly Go Uptown', the Zapp/Cameo-isms of 'Firebabe' and even a bossa nova cover of Bill Withers. Serve poolside, accompanied by several mojitos, for maximum impact!
