4 Cuts EPEXCLUSIVE
Review: Despite its' matter-of-fact title, the Four Cuts EP is something of a departure for FKR Recordings. It's an all-star affair, designed to showcase the re-edit work of a trio of scalpel-wielding party starters. Mr Given Raw kicks things off with the impassioned, low-slung gospel funk of "Get Up On Girls", before label boss KS French sets aside his filters and house beats in favour of some swinging, bumpin' disco-funk goodness on the rather good "Kiss My Baby". The package is completed by two reworks from Miami native KNG Edits, who recently made his debut on Rebel Hearts. Choose between the effortlessly sweet, groovy and dewy-eyed "So Right", and the camp disco explosion that is "Shoot (Dancefloor Edit)", easily the EP's strongest moment.

Review: KS French spreads the love for his latest French Kiss release - gathering an all-star cast of re-edit dons to share the load over these six tracks. Never just content with straightforward editing, French Kiss releases always add extra production techniques to the loops, creating something fresh in the process. Highlights here include KS French's own "Money We Make It" which cleverly incorporates a Marvin Gaye vocal into a deep funk shuffle, the loopy, phased guitar heaven of P Sol's "Feel Me Baby" and the tough, stomping warped disco house of "Another Wish" by DJ Moar. C'est bon!

Review: While it can be hard keeping up with KS French's packed release schedule, you have to admire the Parisian re-editor's dedication to his craft. Given the sheer volume of material he puts out, we imagine he probably spends much of his time chained to his computer knocking out new filter-heavy reworks to delight his dancefloors and ours. So what's on offer this time round? Opener "Amore Piaccio" is a delightly low-slung, bass-heavy affair: a tidy house style rework of a Latin disco chugger which naturally comes complete with the Frenchman's trademark special effects and energy-building trickery. "Light My Fire" meanwhile sees him add a little subtle house bump to a glassy-eyed late '60s soul cut inspired by the Doors record of the same name.

Review: Given his insane productivity, we wouldn't ne surprised if KS French was chained to his computer day and night, whizzing through another batch of re-edits on Ableton Live while planning world domination. While the reality is probably a little less glamorous, he's produced another strong collection of reworks here. Opener "Love Vibration" delivers a lightly beefed-up, filter-sporting revision of a mid-tempo, string-laden disco classic, while "My World About You Bae" applies similar sonic trickery to a glassy-eyed chunk of disco-soul bliss. Elsewhere, "Back For" is a lolloping, head-nodding and toe-tapping take on another familiar favourite, while "Baggi" is a heavily filtered take on what sounds like a sun-kissed Italian disco gem. If you're after mind-altering loops and head-nodding dancefloor pressure, closing cut "Soul Cry" should be essential listening.

Review: Some fine re-edit action here from KS French, AKA Mr Given Raw. 'Funkymama' lifts almost the entire vocal from Ann Peebles' 'Come To Mama' and places it over a heavy funk backdrop, with house-y overtones and much use of the filters. 'Funky Overdose' is a near-instrumental based around a funk bass loop and brass stabs, while 'Magic Your Eyes' is classic-style filter disco topped with the vox from Circle City Band's 1983 boogie gem 'Magic'. 'Glad Bae' has a similar MO to the latter but with an unidentified male soul vocal, while 'World Geto' closes out the EP on a more laidback, jazzy/lounge-y tip.

Edits EP Vol 4EXCLUSIVE
Review: If you like your disco loopy, with a healthy dollop of heavily compressed house bottom-end, you should check out the re-edits of Bremen-based producer KS French. His successful formula - combining the '90s "French touch" sound (think well known and obscure-ish disco loops with plenty of filter tweakery) with longer sections of the original material - guarantees party-starting material each and every time. Here, he drops more tried-and-tested reworks, from the singalong release of "Good Vibration" (a re-cut of Salsoul classic "Love Sensation"), to the head-nodding slo-mo bounce of "Trippin Dub" and string-laden electrofunk chug of "Loop You Body".

Review: Normally home to DJ Moar exclusively, Diggin' Deeper has now opened its doors to the mysterious KS French. It seems access to the DD club has two basic requirements: the first is to have double initials, and the second is to have a seriously funky knack for re-edits. This guy wins on both scores with four slices of prime vintage funk cuts, nipped, tucked and given a bit of extra thump for maximum party potential.

Edits V3EXCLUSIVE
Review: Greece-born, Paris-raised, Bremen-based DJ/producer KS French has previously impressed with his tasty reworks of classic disco and electrofunk jams. Here he delivers four more tried-and-tested edits for Diggin' Deeper. These range from the familiar (a loopy, filter-heavy take on "You Used To Hold Me So Tight", which sounds like the sort of thing House of Disco would release), to the little known (the similarly filter-heavy '80s soul bump of "Lovers"). Here, though, he's at his best when hitting the more straight up disco flavours hard, as the bass-heavy disco-funk bump of "Make Your Body Groove" and hands-in-the-air anthem "Wear It Out" more than prove.

Review: Gallic producer KS French has been operating on the house-friendly end of the disco re-edit spectrum for some time, serving up popular, club-ready reworks on his label FKR Maison Du Groove. This is his first outing of 2018 and contains a trio of tried-and-tested reworks. Plenty will love opener "Can't Fake", a sprightly, synth-heavy revision of a Geraldine Hunt classic that's less compressed and house style than many of his popular reworks. Elsewhere, "Bae Sweet Love" sees the Frenchman make merry with a dewy-eyed chunk of late night '80s soul, while killer closing cut "Runin" [sic] flits between stripped-back sections of disco-funk groove and celebratory, piano-sporting passages of rushing peak-time goodness.

Review: The 'French Touch' sound was a short-lived phenomenon in the late 90s/early 00s - or so musical history would have you believe. Mais si le French Touch est mort, vive le French Touch! For seven years now, French label FKR Maison Du Groove have been proving that you can't keep a good sub-genre down, and here the best of their output over that time is collected together in one place for your listening and dancing pleasure. So: if you dig deep, dusty, looping disco grooves you'll love this album, whereas if you're not a fan of same, then you definitely won't. Not much more to say, really.

Review: Ultimate house, disco and funk edits from Maison Du Groove outta France that's seen the legendary KS French deliver all manner of classic disco and house manipulations to the world this past decade. Celebrating seven years in the game, this anniversary compilation sends in a collection of sleeping and revamped classics given a new skin for the modern day. There's a slo-mo groove and chunk to most the tracks here with more uptempo rhythms coming in the form on "Soulmate", "Take Me Back" and "Geto Disko", with overtly house numbers to be found in "Funk Overdose" and KS French's "Do It Bae". 7th heaven!

Review: A label that likes its edits 'deep n' thick', Editorial have rustled a killer new compilation, Funkquinox, of their favourite recent slo-mo disco. Some of our faves from this eight-track compilation include Bloody Tadi's deep, soulful and sublime houser "Take A Ride", the shimmering disco haze of Alfonso's "Only Love" and Suptil's beautifully distant sensuous future-memory, "Metro To Paradise 84".

Review: The title here translates roughly as "just a little bit of groove", and seldom have the words on a tin more accurately described what its contents do - if you want reference points, think what a 'Too Slow To Disco' compilation put together by Dave Lee might sound like, and you're in roughly the right ballpark! See 'Give Me Your Love' for some fine George Benson-esque geetar work, 'How Sweet You Are' for gloriously cheesy 70s pop/AOR vibes, 'Crazy' for a slightly rawer, Loleatta-esque funk feel or the title track for when you're floating on a lilo and sipping a daquiri...

Review: By his dizzyingly prolific standards, KS French has been eerily quiet of late. In fact, "Kate Edits" is the Gallic producer's first release for some six months, following several years spent serving up a new EP almost every month. Perhaps the break has done him some good, because all three tracks are amongst his strongest outings for some time. Opener "You're The One", for example, brilliantly alternates between glassy-eyed mid-tempo disco goodness and loopier sections seemingly influenced by the classic edits of Mark E and the Revenge, while "Le Good Time" is a drowsy chunk of filter-sporting deep house that makes expert use of dub delays and loved-up disco samples. "Heaven", meanwhile, is an emotion-rich rework of what sounds like a Barry White classic.
