Review: The Canary Islands' own disco don Ilya Santana has never been afraid of wearing his love for all things 80s on his sleeve, with this new two-tracker on his own Astrolead Recordings being but the latest example. 'Doublecross' is a reworking of the 1980 track of the same name by South African disco-rock fusionists Hot RS, who were best known for a disco cover of 'House Of The Rising Sun', while the synth-tastic, sci-fi-esque 'Underwater' originally featured on the 1979 long-player 'American Express' by German producer Harry Thumann, a contemporary of Giorgio Moroder and Patrick Cowley... think 'Geoff Love at Studio 54' and you'll get the general idea!

Review: Stalwart of the nu-disco scene Ilya Santana is back this week with the sixth installment of his Edits series on his beloved Astrolead Recordings. It features the low slung Latin vibes of
"Yoruba" (Ilya Santana Extra instrumentation rework), some slo-mo balearica in the form of "Blackout" (Ilya Santana edit) through to a classic disco heater such as "Radiation" (Ilya Santana edit) and some Moroder-ish cosmic synth journeys like Magnifique".

Review: Canary Islands-based producer Ilya Santana released his great full-length The Retrowave Album last year on his very own Astrolead Recordings. He's back with the second part of the album now; the first track being "Love Savior" a neon-lit Italo disco number with an impassioned vocal that is pure bliss. There's also an featured instrumental and a remix comes from Jason Core (Feverball/Boite) who injects more dancefloor dynamics into the track by way of the rhythm department, yet retaining that terrific guitar solo.

Review: With releases on Balihu, Permanent Vacation, Rare Wiri, Eskimo and Nang, disco producer from the Canary Islands Ilya Santana is back on his beloved Astrolead Recordings with a scorching four set of disco heaters. Whether it's the dark and brooding Giallo energy of "Lost in Philadelphia" (Ilya Santana re-work) or the low slung classic funk attack of "Cryptonite" (Ilya Santana edit) he proves there's much within his sonic repertoire. Elsewhere, he takes you on a neon-lit night drive down the coast on the breezy "Geronimo" (extra instrumentation edit).

Review: Perhaps the best way to describe these three cuts from Spanish disco don Ilya Santana is to say that we're only about 99% certain he's actually made them - 1% of our brains insists he must have broken into an Italian TV studios, found a load of incidental music from an early 80s sci-fi series that never actually aired, and cheekily snuck the tracks out under his own name! Well, that or he's just been listening to a lot of John Carpenter lately... either way, if you're in the market for some classically-styled, authentic-sounding cosmic disco bizniss this week, then look no further.

Review: What better way to revisit the golden age of '80s action cinema that today could inspire remakes of classics like Cobra, Commando or Beverly Hills Cop than Ilya Santana's B Movie 1984! Taking in night driving titles like "Chase On Ocean Drive" to this album's kick starter, "Undercover Girl", here's an album that does away with any bells, whistles and effects by keeping it John Carpenter style with a touch of Gallo Italo through some inspired renditions of what made movies back then so good, product placement or not. Freezeframe!

Ilya Santana feat Woolfy
Review: Canary Islands disco legend Ilya Santana hooks up with the voice of a generation, Woolfy, for another pioneering release on the Spaniard's label, Astrolead Recordings. Combining an '80s electro vibe with touches of funk and cosmic Italo, the single brings with it a bonus instrumental version and classy uptempo remix for a heavier, industrial tip. Youch! This one's hot.

Review: Spanish nu-disco don Ilya Santana serves up four typically luxuriant, synth-drenched jams on his own Astrolead Recordings label. 'A. Lear_New York' is a slow-grinding shimmer-athon augmented by some plangent rock guitar in the mid-section, 'Going Home' goes full-on Italo/cosmic and gets seriously tripped-out as it progresses, 'Swing Africa' has the chanted Afro-style vocal you probably expect and jazz horns you might not, and finally 'Gone Rock' pushes into that under-explored territory where funk, rock and disco collide. 'Going Home' with its Levan-esque wonkery is the standout, but it's a strong EP all round from this master of the nu-disco game.

Review: Legendary Canary Islands producer Ilya Santana recognised for his constant stream of releases on labels like Nang, Porn Wax and Eskimo returns to Astrolead Recordings for a second release in "Won't Look Back". Merging Italo and baerlic themes with a touch new wave and madchester guitars, Santana sends in a star-sailing synth progression graced by the slightest touches of a cosmic disco, slowed down, made lo-fi and chugged out New Order style by Throne Of Bloods always solid Hardway Brothers.

Review: Hailing from the Canary Islands, disco producer Ilya Santana is the owner of Astrolead Recordings. He has also released on labels as diverse as Nang, Permanent Vacation, Eskimo and even Daniel Wang's Balihu over the years. On the first edition of 'Astrolead Edits Hits' he selects his best re-rubs of disco, funk and rare groove from his back catalogue. There's a Frank Farian vibe on the sensual "Astromachine" taken from last year's Space Delights EP, a neon-lit boogie down vibe on the slo-mo groove of "Fog" and a rather familiar hook on the powerful disco inferno of "Running".
