Review: Whether he's got his deep house or his disco hat on, the arrival of a new release from Costela always cheers this reviewer up and this latest outing for Boite Music is no exception! 'Cheer Up' in its Original form is a little more heavily electronic, 80s-sounding and Italo-leaning than much of his previous output - it's druggy, hypnotic and thoroughly on-trend right now, but for me it's the hazy, blissed-out Paper Street Soul Remix, which has a very Nang-y nu-disco vibe, that takes top honours. Not least for daring to bust out a full-on 80s guitar solo - shoulderpads and bubble perms ahoy!

Rayko feat Manuel Costela
Played by: Romanto (YSR / DISCO MACHINE), Juno Recommends Disco, Rayko, D-Funk, MANUEL COSTELA, FRAN DEEPER, Twin Sun
Review: Two figureheads of the contemporary disco scene join forces, a move that will already have plenty of disco buyers salivating. What they've come up with between them is a chuggy, midpaced disco groover with breathy, barely-there vox that sit back in the mix and let some very competent six-string histrionics take centre-stage instead. No obvious peaktime scream-along, this: instead it's the kind of track you drop to keep 'em moving in-between one big anthem and the next. But with Rayko and Costela involved, you can at least rest assured the production's gonna be faultless. Classy stuff, Spanish fellas!

Review: For the latest missive on his popular and prolific Spa In Disco label, Fran Deeper has joined forces with sometime label artist and semi-regular Rayko collaborator Manuel Costela. The pair's original mix is thickset and groovy - a warming, bass-heavy, mid-tempo chunk of nu-disco/summery deep house fusion smothered in rolling percussion, stargazing chords, twinkling effects and languid, laidback synthesiser flourishes. Athenian producer and Leng Records regular Lex reaches for Wurlitzer style organ sounds on his chunkier, marginally more up-tempo remix, dragging the track a little closer to peak-time dancefloors in the process, while James Bright's EP-closing version is brighter, breezier and undeniably more electronic -a sparkling nu-disco workout that should put a fair few smiles on faces when dropped at the right time.

Review: Three mixes to choose from of this latest bullet from Spanish deep house and disco regular Manuel Costela. In its Original form, 'Esa Sonrisa' is a laidback, lounge-y groover led by a gorgeously warm, resonant bassline that's augmented by lighly fluttering synths and organs. The Or Nu Disco Remix perhaps has more instant floor appeal thanks to some added surging, throbbing oomph in the bottom end, but the standout for yours truly is the Or Soulful Remix, where the beats get just a lil' more intricate and the female vocal snips are brought further to the fore.

Review: The prolific Manuel Costela has worked in a range of house and disco styles over the years, but this three-tracker for Bengoa's Athens-based B2 Recordings finds him firmly in deep house mode. Opener 'Unpleasant Dreams' is a suitably drifty and abstract affair, albeit still underpinned by a hefty 4/4 kick and with sampled, spoken vox to stop it washing over you. It's 'I Feel It Coming' and 'Inner Journey' that work better for yours truly, though: both (the former especially) are just a little more uptempo and driving, and both add garage-y elements that help infuse proceedings with a little more soul and groove.

Review: Thicker than clotted cream and twice as opulent, Golden Soul's latest label retrospective is well worth your attention. It focuses on material released by the Spanish imprint in 2019, which was arguably the label's strongest year to date. Label founder James Rod makes a number of killer contributions, with the colourful, bass-heavy Balearic nu-disco chug of "Let's Play Together" (a collaboration with Parissior) and the dreamy Italo-disco throb of "Heart Rock (Aleito Mix)" standing out. Elsewhere, get your ears around the sparkling, breakdown-boasting sunrise rush of Dubhouser's "Ereh" and the thrill-a-minute Euro-disco effervescence that is Hoochie Coochie Papa's "Work My Body".

Review: Every 12 months, Fingerman's prolific Hot Digits imprint serves up an epic compilation entirely made up of exclusive, previously unheard re-edits, reworks and original productions. They're invariably excellent and this year's edition - the fifth in total - is even more epic than usual. There's naturally plenty to set the pulse racing amongst the dancefloor focused 32-track selection, from the throbbing Italo-disco style electronic sleaziness of Peza's "I Gotta Little Love" and the bouncy, acid-flecked cheeriness of Limpdisco's "Rush Hour", to the angular nu-disco heaviness of Andy Kidd's "The Dope Cube", the sparkling 80s boogie goodness of LUP INO's "Don't Stop Fooling" and and disco-funk-goes-house pump of Fingerman's "Family Ties". Keep an eye out too for rock solid rubs by Dr Packer, Chuggin Edits, Rayko and Andy Buchan.
