Review: Six tracks from as many different artists make up this V/A offering from Richard Rossa's Stockholm-based Tom Tom Disco label. If you're looking for cowbells, handclaps and Philly strings, look elsewhere: the tracks here generally plough a far more electronic and leftfield-leaning furrow, blending influences from Italo, EBM, coldwave and early house. Frank Agrario's percussive, Afro-inspired 'Drum Circles' is the exception to that rule, but the standout for this writer is Guxi's 'Dribbling Disco', a mix of Italo and Chi-town tropes that periodically bursts out in unanticipated "proper disco" flourishes. Rabih Rizk's Middle Eastern-tinged 'Acid Drop' is good, too.

Review: Italian producer Guxi (or Matteo Rama, if you prefer) serves up a four-track EP for Swedish label Tom Tom Disco that's very much the proverbial game of two halves, Brian. 'Papua' and 'Asmat' itself are slo-mo cuts that take us deep into the Afro zone, but then we come to 'El Tigre', which maintains the Afro feel but ups the pace considerably while adding a serious dollop of bottom-end funk. Frank Agrario then completes the EP with a remix of 'El Tigre' that sports a tougher kick and tech-house percussion, making this EP a solid bet whether you're after downtempo or more club-friendly grooves.

Review: Guxi might not be the most prolific artist as of yet, but he is without a doubt on of the rising talents of the nu-school house scene, and by nu-school, we mean electrofied, bass-heavy house banging with a disco twist. The lead track "Saturn" contains one of those basslines that you could listen to for hours on end, all bubbly and full of energy, while "Swimming In Space" is the perfect 80s throwback with a contemporary look and feel. "Twinkling Stars" is the perfect follower, a little deeper and and more club-prone its tone, whereas "Walking On Mars" is all mysticism and starry skies, check the chuggy Richard Rossa remix of "Twinling Stars", a perfect house companion.

Review: Richard Rossa's Tom Tom Disco label has built up a strong reputation by releasing some work by some pretty original nu-disco producers over the last four years. Always classy and never over-egging the pudding, the label limits itself to just the one compilation a year, and time has come for the 2016 edition. There are seven retro jams here to enjoy, including Guxi's redux of the proto house/Italo disco gem "Dance They Say", the taught arpeggiation of Fausto's "Nativo" and Rossa's own low-slung new wave funk joint, "Lone Riders".
