Review: Hot Gorilla Records, self-styled purveyors of "disco for funky monkeys", has enjoyed a very successful 2023 - as this timely round-up of the imprint's finest moments of the year emphatically proves. Check first the summery, party-starting disco-goes-house joy of Dexter Jones' 'Space Sister', before admiring the horn-heavy, edit-not-edit excellence of Andy Buchan's 'Shake What You Got' and the Brenda Taylor-sampling boogie-meets-nu-disco fusion of 'Lovers Boogie' by Solazz. Highlights elsewhere across the compilation include the 21st century disco-funk of Harlem Dance Club's 'Shake a Hand', the eyes-closed peak-time rush of Fray Bentos' 'No Lies', and the rolling, effects-laden hedonism of 'Feels So Good' by Pete Whitely.

Katakana Edits Vol 139EXCLUSIVE
Review: Rapidly approaching the 150 mark, Katakana Edits saddles up funk-disco DJ-and-producer outta Brighton - Fray Bentos - for session 139. Holding down the ballroom beats in the disco burning "Stabbed In The Back", get a 11-minute Billie Jean turner in "Re-Clubbed". Bentos adds a classic Marvin Gaye vocal and sax to a '90s UK pop inspired anthem subtle nestled in the background (for a truly euphoric mix) - next to some sublime, sleeper dub techno only the deepest diggers could discover in "Georges Pudding". From disco to dub techno.

Review: UK deep house veteran turned nu-disco don Adam Billingham - better known to the music-buying public as Fray Bentos - serves up a fine pair of re-edits as he revisits a couple of gems from the Prelude Records back catalogue. 'Dance 4 Love' is a rework of Bill Brandon's 'We Fell In Love While Dancing', while 'Lay It Down' is his homage to Gerald Mallory's 'Lay It Down On Me' from 1982. Both edits come from the "respectful, light-touch update" school of thought and either will be a cert on the more soulful floors, with 'Lay It Down' just nudging it for yours truly.

Review: Arriving just in time for the summer season, Hot Digits delivers a compilation that is tailor made to soundtrack lazy, hazy days. Even Funkier's "Feel So Good Inside" is an irresistible, funk-fuelled disco groove, while Ben Jamin's "Handle" inhabits a similar space. Soaked in wailing guitar and soulful vocals, it's a wonderfully infectious track. Both Andy Buchan and P-Sol raise the tempo with string-filled disco workouts, while Fray Bentos' "Danced To Death" offers a more electronic take on this sound. The compilation does veer towards house on occasion - most impressively with the subtle drum builds and chord progressions on Down Under Disco's "On My Mind". In the main though, Year Nine impresses most when it draws on disco and funk influences, such as the raucous party jam that is label owner Fingerman's collaboration with Chewy Rubs, "Block Party Bad Boy".
