Review: A pleasingly varied four-tracker from Dutch label Bordello A Parigi. Ireland's Lerosa gets the ball rolling with the synth disco of 'It's Hard', before we take a left turn into bass/electro/footwork territory with Eliott Litrowski's 909-tastic 'The Little Optimist'. It's then back to the 80s Eurodisco with Vivyan's 'That Time I Dated', which comes on like a long-lost Lipps Inc out-take, before the EP's completed by Sergo Mesa AKA Iamnotarobot's 'El Vuelo', a slice of shimmering, sultry Nang-style nu-disco that's sure to "captcha" your heart. See what we did there? A solid bet for those who like their disco on the leftfield side.

Review: Grab a cold beer, whip off your shoes and head down to the shore: Bordello a Parigi's brilliant "Riviera Disco" series is turning ten with an expansive collection of cuts guaranteed to get you dancing on the shore shirtless. There's naturally a retro-futurist feel throughout, with all 11 tracks making use of the chugging arpeggio style basslines and colourful, mid-'80s synthesizer melodies of Italo-disco. Highlights come thick and fast, from the jaunty melodies and Bobby 'O' Orlando grooves of Daniel Monaco & Don Voyage's "Tropical Disaster" to the bold, spacey melodies and effortlessly joyous vibe of Bijou's "Hotsy Totsy (Instrumental Mix)". Also worth checking is the tongue-in-cheek vocal brilliance of Salta and Roma's 1984 style tweak of Flagio M's "I Want Your Love".
