Review: Mexico's Deep Sense serve up a six-track EP that shows there's more than one way to go about repurposing a classic. Rather than simply looping up chunks of the original, the edits here get a little more creative - Sauco & Manuel Costela's 'Are We Ready?', for instance, takes the vocal from Fatback's 'Bus Stop' vocal and places it over a fresh (and utterly irresistible) funk backing, while on 'Last Nite' Tony Disco uses a similar trick to reinvent an InDeep classic in altogether sultrier, jazzier form. An equally well-known chanted vocal tops the brass-tastic 'Flamingo' from Hot Mood, and there are three more very playable nuggets where those came from!

Review: Last seen over a year ago on Editorial, Rafael Fernandez returns to action via a two-track salvo on Hotmood's consistent Discoweey imprint. He hits the ground running with "Boogie Del Mireyver", a tasty, slightly tooled-up revision of what sounds like an obscure South American disco-boogie cut rich in Spanish spoken word vocals, low-slung dub disco style bass, bouncy drums and sweet synthesizer flourishes. Arguably even better is "Henderson's Sunburst", a jazz-break propelled chunk of P-funk/disco-house fusion that would have jazz dancers busting athletic moves faster than a secret gig featuring Chick Correa, Tito Puente, Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter from Weather Report.

Review: Two years ago, our fancy was suitably tickled by the second "Vanguardia" compilation from Mexican edits outlet Deep Sense. Predictably, this delayed eight-track follow-up is also rather good. It kicks off with a spacey, synth-heavy chunk of Brazilian boogie, lightly beefed up by reliable sorts Hotmood, before sprinting through chunky, hip-wigglin' deep disco-soul (the Funk District's "Soul Dose"), bustling peak-time disco-house (Levantine's "Be Myself"), groovy, horn-toting disco sing-alongs (Sould Out's lolloping, mid-tempo rub "Midnite Ride"), sparkling, Jam and Lewis style '80s soul ("Watch Out" by Monsieur Von Pratt) and sun-kissed, sllo-mo Balearic/synth-funk fusion (Flodz's brilliant "Governor's Ball").

Four Is A Crowd EPEXCLUSIVE
Played by: Buzz Compass, FINGERMAN, Limpodisco, BRENDON P, 80's Child, JAMES ROD, That Needs an Edit/Pete Le Freq, Chuggin Edits, Sould Out, Diggin' Disco Deep, HOTMOOD, Melon Bomb
Review: This fourth audio missive from the Wonderful Times stable has been picking up plays from some of the digital re-edit scene's most revered names. Given that all four tracks are tried-and-tested disco-house treats, it's easy to see why the EP has proved popular thus far. Highlights include the sexy sax cut-ups, colossal builds, swirling effects and bumping beats of Rafael Fernandez's "Ode To A.J", the fuzzy electronics, densely layered percussion and whistling melody lines of Sould Out's "Doctor Kongas", and the celebratory disco-funk rush of The Funk District's "Time Will Tell". Hotmood's loopy but essential opener, "In A Disco", is also well worth regular rotations.

Voyage IIIEXCLUSIVE
Played by: JOUTRO MUNDO, Ziggy Phunk, 80's Child, Stephen Richards (DiscoDaze), That Needs an Edit/Pete Le Freq, Sould Out, SITUATION
Review: Reliable jams from a reliable bunch on this reliable compilation from the reliable Deep Sense. Mr Absolutt opens with the P-funky, cosmic number "The Road Club" - perfect for cruising - while Alex Harrington goes a little techier, white noise build up filter house in "Tanlines". FabioLous Barker takes huge inspirations from Ray Parker Jr in his poppy hit "Girls Are More Fun" while Latin guitars are introduced into Situations' "Flying With Wings". Sould Out slows things down in "Feelin' Moody" leaving Delicious to liven things up with a MJ number in "Let's Get Back". Quality productions abound!

Review: Fingerman's Hot Digits imprint has packed in a lot of releases over the past 12 months, as this expansive roundup of the label's second year in business proves. Featuring 27 tracks and a bonus mix by the South Coast dwelling label boss, there's naturally plenty to admire. Highlights include, but are not limited to, the rolling, head-nodding grooves of Eyeco M's "Keeping It To Myself", the killer proto-house throb of "Tonight" by Bad Barbie vs Evil Smarty, the sexy, string-drenched disco loveliness of P-Sol's "Can't You See", LTJ's trumpet-boasting funk bumper "Fat Thing", and the hard-wired, bass-heavy rework of Julia & Company's "Breakin' Down (Sugar Samba)" by Melon Bomb. It is, though, all pretty darn hot.

Vanguardia IIEXCLUSIVE
Review: New Mexican disco edits label Deep Sense throws its first release in our direction. A various artist compilation showcasing their new found roster of talent. There's so much to choose from on here but for our money, we'd put a wager on Monsieur Van Pratt's Ghostbusters referencing nu-disco floor filler "Ecto 1", the throwback deep house vibes of Perfect Straight's "Sundaze" which sounds like a lost tape off of Prescription or Alleviated while The Funk District's "Bodyshaker" gos for the tightly looped disco DJ tool vibe like early Nick Holder or Moodymann and thats right up our alley!

Review: Disco casual Rafael Fernandez lands on the disco-friendly Editorial imprint - known for their trigger-happy edits - so it's all fun and games; good vibes all around. As such, "Answer From Above" is a gorgeous, stop-start disco-sampling stomper that reminds us a little bit of Sound Stream if it wasn't for the heavy vocal action, and guess what!? There's also a string-heavy version for all your dancefloor antics. "Corner Street Blues" is more funky, moodier and features Gabriel Covarrubias on the mic, while "Bones" digs and chomps its way across snappy vocal chants and a steady, thumping kick for good measure.

2nd VoyageEXCLUSIVE
Played by: Dicky Trisco, Dario Piana, Dave Allison (Editorial), Evil Smarty, MR ABSOLUTT, DEELICIOUS, 80's Child, Wonkar, Bad Barbie, SEEN ON TV
Review: Not to be confused with the techno-minded Dutch label of the same name, this Deep Sense is based out of Mexico, they have a penchant for the funkier side of the dance and the cheekier side of edit culture. They proved it on their inaugural voyage in November 2014, and they're proving it once again right here... Kicking off with the sax-massaging jack-jam "The Road To Kalakuta" the whole album is an instant party full of sassy sonic surprises. Highlights include the dusty vinyl crackles and heaving harmonics of Rafael Fernandez's "Nothing's Changed", the epic synth-slapping cosmicity of Funk My Jesus "24K", the classic funk guitar squeezes of Chuggin Edits "We Got The Funk". And that's just a handful of party peals to be harvested from this 16-track heavy album. Bon voyage indeed!

Review: If you pine for that mid '80s wine bar funk vibe to return, you're in luck - it's here and it's brought the disco flute with it. Yep, "Your Love" is all basslines smoother than Galaxy, thin and tight guitar licks, shimmering chords and did we mention the flute? Oh we did? Well that too. Meanwhile "La Musique" takes us on a Real Thing-style trip but deeper, housier and more French... and all the better for it!
