Review: Double F.O.G is a Swedish producer who's now based in Thailand, and here he serves up a four-tracker that'll please those who like their disco funked-up and with a leftfield twist. 'Lose My Mind' is a raw, looping jam with an earthy female "I'm just about to lose my mind" vocal and some underpinning 303 squelch, 'Baby Don't Change' has something of a Kid Creole-esque feel with its use of Cuban/Mexican-sounding horns and 'Wanna Be Your Lover' is a dense, slow-burning, late-night affair augmented by indecipherable vocoder vox, while Stephen Richards' remix of 'Baby...' completes the package, adding a punk-funkish rap vocal.

Review: Happy eighth birthday to Hot Digits, who are celebrating their anniversary with this superb collection of contemporary disco, funk and boogie slammers. With a whopping 30 tracks to choose from there's obviously no room here to go into them all one-by-one, but with cuts ranging from the smooth jazz-funk of 'George's Groove' to the unabashed filter disco euphoria of 'Cuz I'm Naked', and from the fat-ass slap bass of 'We're Gettin' In' to cheeky Loleatta-referencing disco-houser 'Dub Sensation', there's evidence a-plenty here, should any be required, that Hot Digits do this kind of tackle better than most.

Review: Unlike many of its rivals, Fingerman's Hot Digits label doesn't fill its' obligatory annual compilation with back catalogue cuts. Instead, we're offered a vast number of previously unheard re-edits, remixes and original productions. It's a successful blueprint and one religiously adhered to on Hot Digits: Year Seven, the popular imprint's latest must-check collection. There's not enough room to single out every sonic highlight, but our current favourites include the breezy boogie squelch of Ross Fitz's 'I Miss Your Love ('85 Mix)', the driving deep house haziness of Fingerman and Henri Le Blanc's 'Leave Your Cares Tonight', the neo-trance cheeriness of Picklejam's 'Endorphin Situation' and the stab-happy, peak-time house retro-futurism of 'The Feeling' by Downunder Disco.
