Review: Ten months after unveiling their first batch of 'Disco Biscuits', Luv Shack has served up another piping hot selection of Viennese Whirls. Ken Hayawaka and Lee Stevens are first to showcase their crunchy and crumbly wares on 'If You', a riff-sporting, warehouse ready chunk of nu-disco-tinged house nostalgia, before LeSale reaches for the chocolate chips on the bubbly, vibrant and crystal-clear nu-disco sparkle of 'What Lies Beyond'. Fast-rising Polish producer Das Komplex is at his cosmic, dubbed-out best on the cheery disco-not-disco excellence of 'Odmewianie', while Jakobin and Domino's EP-closing 'Square One' sandwiches squelchy synth-bass and dreamy chords between piping hot nu-disco beats and spacey electronics.
Review: More from Luv Shack stalwart Lesale, who delivers a quick follow-up to June's rather fine "Mister Easy EP". The headine attraction is undoubtedly the producer's "Baguette Magique" (snigger), a deliciously loved-up, bouncy and positive chunk of disco/deep house fusion smothered in clanking percussion hits, spine-tingling strings and wonky, Syclops-esque electronics. Roman Rauch remixes, seemingly drawing influence from classic, turn-of-the-90s New York deep house and quirky acid tracks. Elsewhere, "House Rules" is a fine chunk of sun-kissed disco-house classiness that seemingly unfurls itself as the track progresses, while "Jungle Breeze" brilliantly joins the dots between early Italian dream house and contemporary tropical house.
Review: For this latest instalment by House Of Records the compilation-focused label turns to Jeudi, a Hamburg-based operation that's been releasing laidback, often minimal and disco-tinged house since 2010. This 12-track compile features music from names like HNNY who provides a summery, Axel Bowman-like disco-house groover, while James Silk & Lee M provide some Ibiza popping, bassline house. There's also some downbeat disco from Lesale and some dubbier moves by Monitor 66.
