Review: !K7 continue to celebrate The Exclusives DJ Mix series that takes a 'best of' selection of tracks that were produced and performed by the DJs who mixed some of the earlier DJ-Kicks albums. Highlights here include the moody ballroom house of Jayda G's "All I Need", Cinthie's all time classic "Organ" to Leon Vynehall's deeply seductive "Ducee's Drawbar". Mr. Scruff & CyberPunkJazz make the cut with their space oddity "3001: A Space Disco Remix" next to some higher tempo experimetalisms from Laurel Halo's "Sweetie" - and let's not leave out a rare Robert Hood number via the etroit legend's dubbed out "Focus". That, and much more!
Review: To mark the passing of two decades since they first joined forces in the studio, Polish pair (and Pets Recordings founders) Catz N Dogz have put together this 20-track retrospective. A kind of starter-pack for their career to date, it boasts all of their most successful and celebrated tracks, collaborations and remixes. There's much to set the pulse racing throughout - it's a 'greatest hits' collection after all - with our current favourites including the pair's sub-heavy, 21st century hip-hop revision of Chucky 73 ('Bzrp 43'), the all action, rave-igniting rush of the duo's revision of their Thomas Schumacher hook-up 'Hush', the saucer-eyed loveliness of their Bicep hook-up ('The Game'), an insanely acidic interpretation of Marlena Shaw classic 'The Ghetto', and their early, influential revision of Claude VonStroke's 'Who's Afraid of Detroit'.
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: Bristol-based rising stars Jaymo and Andy George are regular collaborators. Here, they join forces again to launch Moda Music offshoot Moda Black with a compilation of previously unreleased material. For those interested in the new wave of British and European house, it should be an essential purchase. Some of the duo's own Bristol pals make an appearance, with strong contributions from Lukas (the darting "Best In Show") and Eats Everything & Idiotproof (an excellent, peaktime-friendly remix of The 2 Bears). Elsewhere, highlights include a grandiose new cut from the duo themselves, an organ-heavy garage-meets-cocaine house banger from Disclosure, and a cacophonous rinse-out from Hot Since 82.
