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: 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: 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 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: Three complementary but contrasting cuts make up this latest salvo from Greek disco regular JB Boogie. Up first is 'Motel', a jazz-tinged 70s-style funker with gloriously sleazy sax work and a nagging lil' guitar-and-bass figure at its heart. Next, to drag us onto the disco floor, comes 'Music Play', a more sumptuous, sophisticated and string-drenched affair - the kind of thing you imagine you might have heard through a quaalude haze at Plato's Retreat. And then completing the package is 'About Love', a slower, more contemplative cut that sits somewhere between soul and jazz-funk and sports some fine chorus'd male/female vox.

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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".
