Review: George Kelly's Athens-based Chopshop celebrate 15 years in the game with this best-of compilation that takes in cuts from the likes of Groove Armada (via Greg Wilson), Situation, Andy Bach, Bodie Lee, HP Vince and more, many of which - as is entirely in keeping with the label's name, of course - draw heavily on source material from the past. Dave Leatherman & Bruce Nolan kick us off with 'Sunny Side Up', which reworks Osibisa's 'Sunshine Day', and from there on out it's basically a non-stop disco/disco-house riot, with Bodie Lee paying tribute to Inner City on 'Let Me Take You Dancer', Wild Cherry chopped and looped to glorious effect by Delly on 'Movin' To The Groovin' and Alejandro Maria stealing the day with 'A Lot To Live For', which should really be called 'Stabs To Die For'.

Review: In which George Kelly, label manager of Greek imprint Chopshop, teams up with BNC, who we're gonna go right ahead and assume is fellow Greek producer and self-proclaimed "disco vampire" Bruises N Cuts (who sometimes uses that same three-letter name). Together they've come up with 'Love Me Crazy', a laidback electronic groover that sits somewhere between early 80s electrofunk and contemporary dance-pop and R&B, and that sports a lightly vocodered vocal (presumably from BNC) that promises to "make you feel all right" and, a tad less subtly, "freak you to the beat". A track made for summer smoochin'.

Review: There's something to please disco/nu-disco lovers of many persuasions on this four-track V/A from Greece's Chopshop label. Vaudafunk kick things off with the smooth n' classy disco-house of 'Nice To Antibes', before HP Vince gets more in-your-face and strutty with Telex-esque lead cut 'Disco Crypto'. George Kelly then drops the tempo on the decidedly Daft Punk-ish 'Superballin' - all vocoder vox and ruff, grinding bass - before Andy Bach delivers some fine discofied deep house with 'Jump', which makes good use of the classic Aretha "jump, jump, jump to it" sample. And, oddly, the very disparate elements add up to a rather satisfying whole.

Review: There's a pretty obvious clue in the name as to what kind of music you're going to find here! What makes this compilation from Greek label Chopshop stand out, though, is that the usual suspects are, for once, notable by their absence: there are contributions from Tonbe and HP Vince, as well as label boss George Kelly, but many if not most of the artists involved here will be new names to many if not most listeners. As such, it's a collection that's well worth investigating, packing 15 uptempo tracks - largely original, if heavily sample-based productions, rather than re-edits - that are long on funk basslines, handclaps and cowbells. What's not to like?

Review: On his latest one-track missive, Chopshop big beast George Kelly has stated his intention to pack a suitcase, grab his "sunnies" and head "Off To An Island". He's joined on this summery mission by vacation-loving collaborators Idra Kayne and BNC. As you'd expect, it's a wholeheartedly fun and funky affair, with Kelly adding Kayne and BNC's cheery, let's-have-a-good-time vocals to a driving, thickset disco-house groove rich in warm bass, Nile Rodgers style guitar riffs and filtered, presumably sampled orchestration. IT rises and falls in all the right places and sounds like it will light up open air dancefloors if and when we get to enthusiastically dance on them again. In a word: big!

George Kelly feat Andre Espeut
Review: Contemporary boogie is the order of the day on this EP from George Kelly, an Athens-based producer who's also one-half of the duo Capitan Futuro. The original mix of 'Late At Night' finds UK soul vocalist Espeut flexing his tonsils atop a languid, rolling backdrop straight outta 1983. The Guitar Dub then brings some excellent jazz-funk six-string work to the fore - don't be surprised if this one crops up on more than a few 'Ibiza chill-out'-type comps this summer - while completing the package is a Rockfreak Pella that cheekily nods to Grandmaster Flash & Melle Mel's classic 'White Lines'.

Review: A decade has now passed since George Kelly established the Chopshop imprint as an outlet for goodtime grooves, sneaky reworks and club-ready re-edits that blur the boundaries between disco and house. To celebrate the fact, he's gathered together some of his label highlights on an expansive compilation. It's arguably best enjoyed via his action-packed DJ mix, which is tucked away at the end of the collection, though DJs will delight at the sheer volume and quality of the unmixed cuts on offer. Our favourites include the rubbery bounce of HP Vince's appropriately titled "Funky Disco Party", Kelly's killer Marlena Shaw revision ("Raised In The Ghetto"), the bustling funky house pleasures of HP Vince and Dave Leatherman's "Back 2 The Old Skool (House Mix)") and the disco-rap goodness of Captain Futuro's "Club Warzone".

Review: By his usually prolific standards, it's been a relatively quiet year for Chopshop and Our Records boss George Kelly. Surprisingly, "My Thang" is just his second rework-focused EP of the year. Fans will say it's been worth the wait. Opener "Hustlin" is something of a mid-tempo peak-time treat, with the long-serving Greek DJ successfully chopping up a Clavinet-heavy disco-funk cut and underpinning it with suitably swinging, house style beats. Kelly explores the farthest reaches of his record collection on "The Memory", a similarly rolling revision of a deep, starry-eyed jazz-funk-meets-soul workout, before giving the Godfather of Soul a pulverizing, horn-toting disco-house makeover on sweaty closer "My Thang".

Review: Chopshop's latest outing is an all-star affair, with George Kelly, DJ "S", Sparky-T and Delly all lending a hand. The undoubted highlight is Kelly and DJ "S" throwdown "Movin' To The Groovin", which offers up a bumpin' and low-slung romp through toe-tapping, hip-swinging disco-funk territory in the company of turntable Wizard Sparky T. The turntablist's dexterous scratches perfectly compliment the duo's punchy, sample-heavy rework of a killer disco-era funk slammer, with the "More Spanky" rework featuring even more hip-hop style deck manipulation. To complete a fine EP, Delly weighs in with a fantastically energetic, bass-heavy, peak-time U.S house cut that gleefully takes inspiration from the same source material as Kelly and DJ "S". It sounds like a guaranteed dancefloor winner.

Review: Producer/Remixer/Label Owner George Kelly aka DJ Butcher is back on his adored Chopshop imprint again. Expect to hear anything from jazz, funk, hip hop and disco all the way to house, electro and big beat on this fine label. Here Kelly goes deep into sexy and groovy territory with his new EP "The Nudist Camp". The title track is a sunny and evocative disco jam that's perfect for Sunday open-air bliss: bring on the third (is that what we're up to?) Summer Of Love! Next up "Aquarian Dream" is a looped up funky house groover which is once again on the disco tip and at some points could almost pass for early noughties Hed Kandi or Defected: a compliment if there ever was one. Finally "Venga" is as lo-slung and slo-mo and you like it: perfect for drifting and getting stoned into the groove.

Review: Back in the day, US rock band Kiss created quite a furore when they were finally unmasked. Now it's the turn of veteran re-edit maestro DJ Butcher who, for this new LP, now steps beyond the moniker to reveal himself as George Kelly. Staying true to his heart he album delivers 11 tracks of what he does best - expert disco scalpel jobs. Highlights include the retweaked Eric B & Rakim/Coldcut jam "Music Just Turns Me On", the six-minute, string laden clap along "Turn It Up" and the squelchy funk grooves of "No Taboos".

Review: ChopShop Digital barely deviates from its' well-worn formula, which involves serving up multi-artist EPs full of tried-and-tested reworks. Happily, they're at it again here. BnC kicks things off with the break-driven funk shuffle of "Good Times Roll", before Woodhead & Hebegebe raise the temperature with the heavy funk-goes-Italo-disco surge of "Pony Up". West Country scalpel fiends Situation serve up the dusty soul sweetness of "Change For A Coke", while Senior Citizens attempt to outdo them with the similarly luscious and soulful "The Perfect Plan". Finally, label boss George Kelly steals the show with a killer re-cut of Willie Bobo/Ronnie Laws favourite "Always There".

George Kelly feat Andre Espeut
Review: Chopshop founder George Kelly has called on the services of Andre Esput on numerous occasions in the past, so it's little surprise to see the soul man lend his honeyed vocals to two cuts on the Grecian producer's new EP. Both are predictably luscious and breezy, tiptoeing the fine line between organic, soulful house and revivalist disco-boogie. The duo begins with the wild, jammed-out organs, clipped Chic guitars and shuffling grooves of "Nothin' Sweeter", before throwing their hands in the air on the sun-kissed, live soulful house jam "Generations". Although Esput's vocals are superb and enhance both tracks, Kelly has also included a pair of solid instrumentals.

Review: This latest split EP from the ever-reliable party-starters at Chop Shop introduces two new faces to the roster: the previously unheard "DJ S", and sometime Vintage Music, Disco Fruit and Rebel Hearts types Gradient Logic. The former delivers a bouncy, slightly toughened up re-interpretation of Deodato's Brazilian disco-funk classic "Night Cruiser" (here re-titled simply "Cruiser"), while the latter get knee deep in Funkadelic on the kaleidoscopic synth-funk bump of "What About The Groove". Elsewhere, label talisman George Kelly drops a future re-edit anthem in the shape of the punchy, disco/boogie fusion "Feet Start Moving", and Vaudafunk teases out a killer saxaphone line on the distinctly big and bold "Sugar".

Review: Situationism is run by a mysterious 'collective of DJs and producers from the five valleys'. Although little is revealed about their identities, we do know that this compilation is their biggest release yet and it boasts the mighty "On It" by Peza. The track's clever fusion of a boogie sample (Starguard's High On The Boogie) and some subtle 303 work has got people talking and dancing already. The quality stays high over the remaining tracks too, highlights including George Kelly's melancholic Italo gem, "Trip to Jupiter", Vampire Disco's moody synth prowler "Orbit" and the chilled cocktail grooves of Alkalino's "Trigger".

Review: On his last outing, Grecian producer George Kelly successfully joined forces with vocalist Andre Esput to showcase the soulful side of his output. Here, he's back in solo mode, returning to the Chopshop imprint he founded some years back. The Big McGhee doesn't take long to get into its' stride, starting as it does with a slamming, decidedly heavyweight house rework of Marlena Shaw's "Woman Of The Ghetto". Jimmy 'Bo' Horne rework "Spankbank" is similarly stomping, with Kelly expertly cutting up and rearranging the original's famous electric piano riffs over a bounding house groove. Finally, the title track delivers a tightened up, straightened out version of Francine McGee's infamously wild disco smasher "Feelin' Good".

Review: If you weren't aware already, Yam Who? is one ambitious, tirelessly active chap. First emerging at the turn of the century with some superb edits of poppy R n'b (anyone remember his boogie take on "Frontin" by Pharrell?) the Yam master has gone on to build quite the empire with his Midnight Riot label. The latest MR release reflects his nature, a new mix featuring 20 killer rollerskate jams from friends as well as some outright classics. Highlights include the glistening, chrome-plated funk of George Kelly's "Turn It Up", the sleek and synthy 80s jam "Living A Lie" by Freekwency and the slammin Linn drum freestyle action of "On The Upside (High Drummer edit)" by Wonkar.

Review: George Kelly AKA DJ Butcher - a fine Greek purveyour of soul, funk and boogie edits - is back with another collection of block rocking beats. No guessing who he samples on "Slim Shaddy" over a low slung funk groove. "Happy Moog" goes funky house, utilising that Pino D'Angio sample, and damn well. "You Dont Stop" is a good re-edit of Tom Tom Clubs "Wordy Rappinghood", "Need Some" is a hi-HRG version of "Hot Stuff" and if that wasn't enough, "Black Jeans" is a cheeky remix of you guessed it; Billy Jean by MJ. This collection of hot tracks are all you need for the next hoe down!
