Review: Having recently notched up a sixth year in business, Fingerman's Hot Digits imprint is in a celebratory mood - hence this all-action round-up of recent delights and unheard treats from the disco-loving label. Encompassing no less than 30 tunes, the collection giddily skips between warming beatdown disco (P-Sol's "Walter"), Mark E style slo-mo loop jams (Vigi's "I'll Be There") and glassy-eyed Balearic nu-disco (Picklejam's "Untitled Love"), before raising its hands skywards as the peak-time party-starters begin to appear thick and fast. Highights in this category include the vibrant jazz-house flex of Dexter Jones' "Swing Thing", the bustling boogie re-edit business of Monsieur Von Pratt's "Let's Dance" and the hearty disco-funk heaviness of Chewy Rubs' "Funky Bee Bop".

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: Some 18 months on from the release of the label's first retrospective compilation, Brazilian imprint About Disco presents another bumper selection of floor-filling re-edits, reworks and original productions. With 23 killer cuts to choose from, the collection provides excellent value, particularly when you factor in the eclectic nature of the reworked source material. Compare and contrast, for example, the warm and sticky Afro-disco goodness of NFC and Key Sokur's "Coming From Congo", the bass-heavy disco hustle of "Hihache" by Ozzy and the kaleidoscopic, hard-spun synth-funk brilliance of Rafael Cancian's "Queen of Zanzibar". We're also huge fans of J.B Boogie's gently lolloping and exceedingly loved-up "Love To Love", though we could say the same thing about half a dozen of the other included tracks. Stellar stuff, all told.

Review: With 15 tracks from nine different artists, this is the first compilation from Disco Fruit, making it the ideal opportunity to get acquainted with the Serbian label - or just great value for money if you're in search of some fine contemporary disco, funk and boogie grooves. Ranging from the sprightly jazz-house of Munky Five's 'Peace Of Jazz' to the Fatback funk of Mike Woods 'Get What You Need Y'All', via the Parliament/Zapp-esque squelch of JB Boogie's 'Party Underground', the attitude-y disco-house strut of Jack Roy & Peitzke's 'On The House' with its Scissor Sisters-ish vocal and Hiva's cheeky 'Superfreak'-biting 'Yea Yeah', there's no shortage of mirror ball goodness here.

Review: Italy's Sound Exhibitions bring us a 19-artist, 24-track collection that's very much the proverbial "game of two halves (Brian)". The album opens with label boss Vito Lalinga's Afro-jazz workout 'Angola', but that's a little misleading because it's the only real Afro-flavoured cut on offer, and from 'Legend' onwards we drop down into moody, cinematic jazz/jazz-funk territory - you're never far from a warbling Hammond organ, a live-sounding double bass line or a soaraway sax solo here! But then there's a change of mood as, with a little push from M.A.D.Y's 'Tribal Disco' and C Da Afro's 'Speed Dial, we find ourselves propelled into nu-disco/disco-house territory for the rest of the set - albeit with those jazzual flourishes still seldom backwards in coming forwards. A very classy comp indeed.

Review: It may have been a pretty rubbish year in general, but Midnight Riot has done its best to keep us entertained via a wealth of disco and boogie-centric EPs. If you missed out on many of the label's 2020 treats, don't worry, because they've gathered together the best of their recent output on this epic compilation. Drawing on original nu-disco, revivalist disco, feel-good house, synth-heavy boogie sounds and gently tooled-up edits, highlights are predictably plentiful. Our picks include the summery soulful house goodness of 'Nothing But the Music (Hotevilla Mix)' by Platinum City, the nu-boogie brilliance of Qwestlife's remix of 'Savage' by Tommy Glasses, the loopy disco-house joy of Mottes 'The Horse Ride' and Yam Who's 'Full Vocal Mix' of Sam Shelley's sunshine disco number 'Groove It'.

Review: If the January blues have hit you hard, we'd suggest diving into this celebratory label compilation from Springbok Records. At 15 tracks deep it's something of an epic, with the collected cuts blurring the boundaries between re-edits, remixes and original productions. There's plenty of chunky, filter-heavy disco-house cuts to be found throughout, with highlights including Andy Bach's piano-laden "Systematic", the bassline-driven brilliance of Curtis Scott's "The Truth" and the livewire peak-time excitement of Moggy Bee's "Satisfaction, Body Action", which breathes new life into a boogie-era disco classic. Elsewhere there are rock solid re-edits from Hp Vince, J.B Boogie, C Da Afro and Dave Leatherman and Bruce Nolan.

Review: With 20 tracks to choose from, there's certainly no space to do a full track-by-track rundown of this seasonally themed compilation from London's Tropical Disco. Suffice to say that, while the emphasis is largely on up-and-coming names rather than the usual suspects (though the likes of Reece Johnson, JB Boogie, Corrado Alunni and Infrasoul should be familiar), the quality standard is set high throughout, and those who like their contemporary disco served with hints of Latin, Afro, jazz and/or funk flavas will find much to enjoy here. The sprightly pianos of David Zero's 'Vanilla', Alunni's groove-a-licious 'Funk Decision' and Rafael Yapujian's ker-razy 'Beats And Hats' would all be good places to start, but you should probably just dive on in and find your own faves...

Review: Fran Deeper's Spa in Disco label is now 11 years old. To celebrate, the popular nu-disco imprint has unveiled this celebratory compilation. Andy Buchan gets things going in fine style via the mid-tempo nu-disco-meets-classic-house flex of 'House Party (Disco Version)', before Chewy Rubs drops some Soundstream-esque loopy disco-house ('Feel Good Factor') and Frank Virgilo takes a similar tack on 'Never Too Late'. From then on, it's a joyous sprint to the finish, with hands-aloft outings courtesy of Funk Hunk and others being joined by killer cuts courtesy of Juan Laya & Jorge Montiel (the rubbery bass guitar-propelled 'Funk Supreme'), Hiva & Funky Junkie (the hard-wired disco-funk of 'Hola') and Shakavoy (the party-starting 'Get Funky').

Review: Greek producer J.B Boogie is scarily productive, with new releases appearing thick and fast over the last few years. It's perhaps fitting then that his latest E.P has been released by Rare Wiri, a label helmed by the equally prolific Rayko. What's on offer are edits-plus - I.E tracks that are effectively re-edits but also include additional instrumentation and fresh beats. He begins with a sweaty slab of Harmonica-and-sax-sporting swamp funk ('Boogie Rhythm') before reaching for the filters on glassy-eyed disco-soul workout 'My Body'. 'Promise You' isa more low-slung, funk-fuelled slab of disco hedonism, while title track 'Travelling' is a soaring, string-laden disco-house treat.

Review: With 24 tracks to choose from, there's no faulting the value for money offered by this latest collection from Italy's Sound Exhibitions camp, which features multiple contributions from label regulars C Da Afro, DJ Moy and Vito Lalinga. 'Nu disco', in this instance, tends to refer to tracks that faithfully reproduce 70s stylings - you won't find much here in the way of Italo-inspired synth workouts, for instance - but there's the odd excursion into housier/more electronic territory, such as on the Afro Acid Dub of Lalinga's 'Hard Core', while soul lovers will enjoy cuts like Goodge's 'Step Forward'.

Review: Fresh from the recent release of his cheery, percussion-rich disco-house workout "Latin Jack" on Disco Down, J.B Boogie pops up on Rare Wiri with a similarly celebratory and cheery three-tracker on Rare Wiri. He sets the tone with jaunty opener "Dance With You", a lolloping dance that successfully tools up a horn-heavy late '70s disco number via the edition of flowing new peak-time beats. He has his wicked way with a synth-laden electrofunk cut on the colourful, steel drum-sporting "Feels Like You", before rounding off a rock solid EP via the spacey, mid-tempo disco-boogie chug of "One Hot Night".

Review: Here we have the second full-length outing from Giannis Mpizas AKA J.B. Boogie, following 2018's 'Funky People', but as he's released about 27,000 EPs in the intervening three years, you should have a pretty good idea what to expect! The Greek producer is more about faithful homages to the sounds of the 70s and 80s than he is about cutting edge sonic experiments, but that's by no means a criticism: the "if it ain't broke" rule often applies when it comes to moving bodies on dancefloors and as such you'll find plenty of solid club ammunition here, whether you're after squelchy, brassy funk ('Fela's', 'Play'), early 80s boogie vibes ('Lovely Day', 'Jam To Boogie') or gloriously camp disco proper ('Run To Me', 'Music On').

Review: With 17 tracks from nearly as many artists to choose from, you certainly can't fault this nu-disco collection from Rafaell Cancian's Brazilian label About Disco on the VFM front! It's hard to pick holes, too, when it comes to musical variety, with tracks ranging from the rock-tinged funk/soul vibes of Imanol's 'Improv' to the fierce acid meltdown that is Panko Samuele de Santis's 'Caldo Caldo', and calling at pretty much all stations in-between - albeit it's straight-up nu-disco jams from the likes of Jehan and The Secret Soul Society, and raw funkers like JB Boogie's 'Night Drive', that actually work best to these ears. Worth investigating for sure.

Review: Time now to take a saunter down the funkier side of the street, in the company of the ever-dependable J.B. Boogie. 'Non Stop' itself gets the ball rolling, a brass-tastic slab of Blaxploitation-style funk given the very lightest of disco-house top coats. There are no such concessions to contemporary floor appeal on 'Next Step', a lounge-y, jazz-funk- tinged and very late 70s-sounding affair that'd sound great in the First Class departure lounge while you await the 22.15 shuttle to Mars, while finally there's 'Ko Ko', which is dense and shuffle-y and comes toting brass, flutes and a nice hefty bottom-end.

Review: The title here's misleading - as a digital-only label, And Friends releases don't really have B-sides - but we'll let them off because 'B-Side Tunes' is as fine a label 'best of so far' comp as yours truly has heard in a while, covering as it does a dazzling array of contemporary dancefloor styles. Rolling, summery nu-disco vibes dominate, but from the garage-y organ grooves of Cosmocomics' 'Make My Love Brighter' to the wigged-out jazz-funk/disco of Uptown Funk's 'Slidin'', and from the peaktime strut of Ezirk's fairly self-explanatory 'Saxophizzle' to Ferdinand Debeaufort's truly sublime, 70s-sounding 'Like The First Time' - which blends elements of disco, mellow Bill Withers/Labi Siffre-esque soul and west coast rock, then tops the lot with a proper earworm of a strings flourish - there's PLENTY to enjoy here. So dive on in!

Review: Greek disco producer Giannis Mpizas, better known as JB Boogie, comes to Mexican label Furious Mandrill with four suitably Latin-tinged workouts. Opener 'Pina Colada' places barrio-style "jungle music" shouts atop a looped-up funk guitar riff reminiscent of (but not sampled from) The Jackson Sisters, while 'Cocktail' has a slightly more lounge-y feel, with brass to the fore. It's the horns, too, that make Spanish-vocalled EP standout 'Cuba Libre' - that riff will get under your skin like scabies! - before the EP's closed out by 'Amaretto', which like 'Cocktail' has something of an easy listening vibe. Schmaltzy, but tons of fun all the same.

Review: Greek producer J.B. Boogie comes to Hot Gorilla with a couple of nifty lil' re-edits here. 'Magic Music' is a re-working of Karen Young's 1983 boogie gem 'You Don't Know What You Got', complete with nice squelchy bassline, 80s-sounding stabs and synth-strings and soaring sax wails, while 'In My Mind' reaches back a little further in time to plunder Archie Bell & The Drells' string-drenched 1979 Philly International cut 'Strategy'. The man from Athens takes a very light-touch approach to both, meaning if you already own the originals you could just play those: if you don't, though, these two'll do just fine!
