Review: Germany's Philly Vanilli has been around since forever, it seems, but to these ears - and they're ears that have reviewed plenty of his previous releases for this very website - this new set of reworks for Deep Disco Edits is the best work he's turned out so far. He's working with some very well-known source tracks here, so there's no point insulting your intelligence by enumerating them: suffice to say that somehow he's managed to tease the funk out of these much-loved classics in a way that, in some cases, even the original artists didn't manage. Ohio Players' 'Love Rollercoaster' was, admittedly, always a personal fave of yours truly but in PV's hands it becomes a truly exceptional 10 minutes of sheer funk joy, while his reworkings of Marvin, Kool & The Gang and The Temptations are equally impressive. Essential!

Review: Lipps Inc's 'Funky Town' is undeniably a classic - hell, it's even mentioned in 'The Simpsons' as one of Homer's favourite songs - and Philly Vanilli have made a pretty decent fist of reworking it here, looping up various sections, letting those strident strings shine through in all their otherworldly glory and, perhaps most importantly, resisting the tempation to go overboard with the percussion FX, an error they've been guilty of in the past. Whether any dancefloor that'll accept this but not the original - which is surely the point of re-edits - actually exists is debatable, but in terms of simply refreshing a well-known standard, yes, nice job!

The Soul Groove ExperienceEXCLUSIVE
Review: Every now and then we bestow an unofficial 'outstanding achievements in professional moniker' award. Philly Vanilli are pretty much guaranteed to hold on to this title for a long time to come. "The Sould Groove Experience" is their latest missive for Manolo Brigante's Austrian We Mean Disco! imprint and it's packed with reworked '70s soul gems (eight to be precise). Highlights include the shimmering Fender Rhodes slow jam "Soul Food", the rolling phasered guitar freak out "I Need Da Funk" and the campy Eurodisco effervescence of "To Be In Love".
