Review: Three tracks here that lean heavily to the more electronic side of modern disco, as opposed to the more organic/funky/70s-sounding variety that's this reviewer's usual favourite flava - so some serious props need to go to Rocco Universal, because the 'Planetarium' EP is a killer. The lead track has been well chosen: a druggy, hypnotic throbber, it's got repressed energy to spare and just seems to build forever. But the other two are no slouches either, with 'Assuage' rocking a mellower, prog-leaning vibe while 'Sleepwalking In Silom' will leave you with one in the chamber for the afters.

Review: Based in Bangkok, Thailand, Cosmic Tiger began life as a magazine covering the dance music scene in Southeast Asia back in 2019, but now they've branched out and launched their own record label. Following a single release from label boss Patrizio Cavaliere (AKA Rocco Universal), this is their first V/A compilation and if your tastes tend to the dreamier, more Balearic end of the disco spectrum you'll find much to enjoy here, with highlights for this writer including the Dave Lee-esque space funk of Scott Hess's 'Elevator' and the squelch bass-tastic 'Royal Flush' from Rudy's Midnight Machine.

Review: If you like your disco on the synth-y side you won't wanna miss this latest offering from UK-raised Italian Patrizio Cavaliere, better known as Rocco Universal. Coming on Thailand's Cosmic Tiger label, 'Fleeting Eternity' is a bit too angular to be called Balearic and a touch too smooth to be filed under Italo, but you get the general idea! The accompanying 'October', meanwhile, operates at a slightly lower tempo and stirs a little deep house flava into an otherwise stylistically similar pot. Both conjure images of sophisticated floors swaying gently through a shimmering heat haze, which of course is exactly where they're aimed.

Review: While Rocco Universal's previous nu-disco singles on Leng and When I Met You tended towards the Balearic, neither were anywhere near as gorgeously sun-kissed, colourful and gently mind-altering as "Insieme", his first outing on Midnight Riot. He provides two mixes of his own: a "Live Jam" that sits somewhere between piano-driven early Italian house, acid-fired nu-disco headiness and wide-eyed cosmic disco, and a rushing "Piano Mix" that's so positive that it can't fail to raise smiles out on the dancefloor. Pete Herbert goes in a similar sonic direction on his delightful - and arguably even better - remix, while bonus cut "Eyeless Gold Barb" is an acid-flecked fusion of dubby proto-house vibes, stripped-back bu-disco and synth-laden electrofunk.

Review: Midnight Riot bring us a 20-track compilation that certainly can't be faulted on the eclecticism front, with tracks ranging from the boogie nouveau of Ilija Rudman's 'Let This Dream Be Real' to Sirs' fairly self-explanatory 'Turkish Folk', and from the sumptuous soul of Jack Tyson Charles' 'Glory' to BJ Smith's acoustic psych-pop cover of Soul II Soul's 'Keep On Movin''. The southern bar room funk of HP Edits's 'Why Don't You Slide', the smokey soundtrack jazz vibes of Peter Simmons' 'Downtown' and Phoenix's 'Sueno Latino'-ish 'Nature Dance' are three more highlights of a varied and enjoyable collection.
