Review: For the latest release on their Kaninchenbau label, an outlet focused on "sample-based, pseudo-original tracks", Funk District have recruited sometime Scruniversal, DOBRO, SlothBoogie and Moiss Music contributor I Gemin (real name Mike Popov). The Russian producer begins in suitably dusty and woozy fashion on 'Floraison', a lolloping, sample-rich MPC house head-nodder smothered in jazzy Rhodes licks, before working some dewy-eyed, Hammond-heavy soul loops on the gorgeous 'Mercy On Me'. He moves closer to classy disco-house/deep house fusion territory on 'Natural Born 4', while the breezy and sunset-ready 'The Truth' sees him turn a gorgeous cover of a Marvin Gaye conscious soul classic into a jazzy deep house gem.

Review: Fast-rising Russian deep house stable Deeppa has pulled out all the stops on its second label compilation, gathering tracks from a mixture of newcomers, label regulars and well-known producers. Predictably, the quality threshold remains high throughout, with highlights including - but in no way limited to - the dusty and ultra-deep jazz-house shuffle of 'Shibuya Oiran' by Henna Onna, Philippa's super-funky, sample-laden stomper 'We'd Rather Do It Like This', the starry and sunny disco-house twinkle of Scruscru's 'Fool 2 Luv U', the hazy, Larry Heard-influenced ultra-deepness of Melchior Sultana ('The House Sound'), the loose and bumpin' retro-futurism of 'Joy In Motion' by Glenn Davis, and the immersive, enveloping dreaminess of Dr Sud's Schmoov-esque 'Steel City'.

Review: To mark the fourth birthday of his DOBRO imprint, Iner has put together a must-check collection featuring what he believes are the 30 strongest tracks the label has released to date. It is, then, effectively a 'best of so far' compilation. As a result, the quality threshold remains high throughout, with our picks including the hip-hop tempo disco revivalism of I Gemin's 'The Time is Right', the nu-jazz/jazz house fusion of 'Flutes' by Sune, the horn-heavy disco-house rush of Sun Rhythms' 'Flower Festival', the peak-time Afro-house bounce of Anton Mo's 'African Mafia', and the piano powered joy of Super JV's nostalgic house gem, 'Street Love'.

Review: Scruscru's Scruniversal take a left turn into jazzier pastures than normal with this four-track EP from I Gemin, AKA Russian producer Mike Popov. The EP opens with the languid, cinematic instrumental 'Introfall (Autumn)', before moving into out-and-out jazz territory with the flute-laden 'Ninjazz Bit'. Funk and soul flavas then inform 'Dry My Tears' with its wukka-wukking geetars and (presumably sampled) gospel-like vocal, before '2Gether We Funk' plays us out in more "traditional" funk mode, with brass fanfares galore and a distinct car chase feel. Musically speaking 'Ninjazz Bit' is arguably the most impressive, polished piece here but it's '2Gether We Funk' that'll get those booties shakin'!

Review: Slothboogie's latest series, 'Remixing With Friends', was founded on the simplest of ideas, namely to get artists they admire to rework tracks from the label's growing catalogue. The series' debut offering is suitably strong from start to finish. Scottish slow-house veteran The Revenge delivers a pleasingly crunchy spacey and hypnotic rework of DJ Akmael's 'Strobe', before Joe Cleen re-imagines Subjoi's 'What You Do' as a deep and sensuous two-step garage workout with added sexy organ stabs and solos. International Dateline then delivers a tweak of Jesse Bru's 'Yellow Sunshine Machine' that sits somewhere between Metro Area and sparse analogue house, while Jason Hodges turns I Germin's 'Green Light' into a woozy-but-bumpin' disco-house loop jam. Best of all though is Chrissy's energetic, TB-303-propelled, breakbeat-sporting re-wire of Jesse Bru and Max Ullis's 'Big Chirp'.

Review: Russian veteran Mike Popov AKA I Gemin comes to Iner's St Petersburg-based DOBRO label with four deep house jams that'll serve you equally well for post-club chillin' or for keeping 'em moving through till sun-up. 'Afterlife' centres around a looping guitar hook, rolling drums and treated soulful vocal snatches, while there are more treated vox on the similarly styled 'Tears I've Cried'. You then get two quite different mixes of 'The Time Is Right' itself to choose from: the Original's a gloriously moody, jazzy slo-mo funker, before Berlin's Siggatunez drags it onto the dancefloor with tuff, driving beats and heady synth washes.

Review: For the latest release on his Scruniversal label, ScruScru has turned to friend and fellow Russian deep house and nu-disco producer I Gemin. The sometime SlothBoogie contributor has delivered a tidy and tasteful three-tracker just oozing with class. Check first 'Astrafunk',a warming 188 BPM loop jam that peppers a rolling, jazz-flecked house beat with boogie bass, kaleidoscopic synth doodles, warming chords and spacey motifs, before admiring the early St Germain style jazz-house classiness of 'Make It Real'. To round off a rock-solid EP, he lays down a suitably trippy, woozy and surprisingly loose-limbed chunk of dusty loop-house whose restless electric piano motifs and rumbling bassline are undeniably addictive.

Review: Some very fine contemporary disco and funk grooves to be found on this latest EP from Russian producer I Gemin, which is brought to you by Hot Digits Music. 'Fun For Me' itself, in its original form, is an unhurried, lolloping groove that, with its chanted vox and in-your-face horns, could pass itself off in certain lights as a long lost Brass Construction track, while Fingerman's rework tones down the brass a little and brings the bass forward. There's more chanting on the Afro-tinged 'Oh Eh Oh Eh', alongside some squalling rock guitars, while finally 'Over & Over' is a dense, loopy lil' shuffler that's really more of a DJ tool.

Review: Having previously delivered largely overlooked - but rather good - releases on Moiss Music and Closer To Truth, Mike Popov brings his I Gemin project to SlothBoogie for the very first time. The long-serving producer begins in fine fashion with 'Green Light', a warming chunk of Azymouth-influenced deep house/jazz-house fusion built around layered, loose-limbed carnival drums, before craftily combining jazz-funk instrumentation and head-nodding hip-hop beats on 'Interlude 74'. Popov returns to the dancefloor with the sample-house-goes-broken house brilliance of 'Into The Sun' - all simmering sampled strings, warming Blaxploitation soundtrack instrumentation, dub delays and layered percussion - before once again flexing his downtempo muscles on the blazed, DJ Cam style haziness of 'Yaju'.

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: Dobro is a house and disco edits label run by Belarusian DJ/producer Iner out of St Petersburg. For its fifth release, it's another various artists affair featuring a whopping six tracks with appearances from I Gemin on the dusty, boompty and off-kilter 'I Like 2 Party', Paul Rudder & OUI go ultra deep in the tradition of the Three Chairs sound on the emotive 'In The Sky For Our Love', while Bendrik serves up the mandatory late night mood music vibes on 'Chat House' and Swales provides the banger on the funky and tough rolling 'Blue Skies'.

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.
