Review: After nearly a decade in the game, Andrea Rucci's Cosmic Sumo release their first-ever 'best of' compilation. Unsurprisingly, cosmic and Italo-disco vibes predominate: you won't find many cowbells, handclaps or female multi-part vocal harmonies here (though there are some). But if it's Carpenter-esque synths, druggy Afro-inspired beats, bleepy electro flourishes and a distinct whiff of mid-80s Europe you're after then you're in the right place, because here all of the above are provided in spades by the big-hitting likes of James Rod, Tulioxi and, perhaps most signficantly, Italian founding father Alexander Robotnick himself.

Review: To celebrate hitting 20 releases, Wonder Stories has decided to put out the label's first compilation. Wonder Buds is largely made up of arguably overlooked back catalogue highlights, but also includes a handful of previously unreleased tracks to appease regular label-watchers. There's plenty to set the pulse racing throughout, from the jostling Italo-disco/nu-disco fusion of Pop District's remix of Steve Cook's "Notice Me" and the boogie-influenced cosmic disco chug of DJ Rocca's Aimes rework (the brilliant "Notice Me"), to the foreboding psychedelic disco-chug of Curses' "Brains Bones Blood" and the acid-fired pulse of Los Fugazzi's "Paralel" [sic]. Oh, and the saucer-eyed, Balearic-inspired nu-disco dreaminess that is Mighty Mouse's wonderful remix of Air Zaire's "Love '94".

Review: Spanish deep house/disco fusionist James Rod has enjoyed a productive 2015, releasing a wealth of material on labels such as Midnight Riot, Hot Digits, Cosmic Sumo, Audaz and Rare Wiri. Here he returns to the latter with more colourful, summery dancefloor fun. Lead cut "Afro Gerops" is particularly potent, with Afro-centric vocals, funk guitars and rubbery nu-disco synths wrapping themselves around a rolling disco groove. It's arguably stronger than title track "Disco Rocket", which successfully blends alien chords, P-funk attitude and slick, nu-disco attitude. There are a number of remixes to enjoy, too, with Situation's spacey electro take - all delay-heavy drum machine hits and intergalactic electronics -impressing the most.
