Review: Cormac, the Queer Northern-Ireland born label honcho, returns after a bustling year with a second Polari compilation, "No Tears In The Backroom Vol. 2". Packed with synth-heavy swings, acid basslines, steamy vocals, and an abundance of fun, NTITB Vol. 2 it serves as a perfect introduction to the new year. Cormac, the curator, describes the compilation as a unique family, featuring contributions from label hitmakers like Jordan Nocturne, ROTCIV, and Louis de Tomaso, alongside fresh talents like DJ City, Nimmo, Shay Shaz, Hifi Sean, Joshua James, and Xols. With a 10-track journey that blends anthemic sounds, tapping into nostalgia while staying rooted in contemporary references, No Tears In The Backroom Vol 2 encourages listeners to embark on a dance-heavy pursuit that doesn't hold back. Notably, the label's profits from this compilation go to charity, supporting Doctors Without Borders, a politically neutral NGO focused on treating people in regions where they are most needed, particularly active in Gaza and around the world.

Review: Four original productions plus a remix of the title track make up this EP from RotCiv, a Brazilian producer who's been based in Berlin since 2010. 'Elev8tion' comes from the Moroder/Baldelli/Robotnick school of thought but has a clear acid house influence as well, while Massimiliano Pagliara's remix smooths out the sharper edges and could work on progressive/melodic house floors. The other three tracks are similarly Italo-inspired, with 'The Morning After' the pick for this reviewer thanks to its slightly less frantic tempo and ominous, broody feel. There's plenty of similar tackle around right now, but this EP's a worthy example of the style for sure.

Victims Of The New World (Remixes)EXCLUSIVE
Played by: ROTCIV, FINGERMAN, Stan Tropic, Kid Who, Vermelho, JKriv (Razor-N-Tape), Fab Mayday, LA ROYALE, Dynamicron (Los Grandes/Our Nights)
Review: Second time around for Roctiv's nu-disco era deep house jam "Victims Of The New World", this time with a string of new remixes. Roctiv's disco-sampling, acid-laden 2008 original opens proceedings, while the producer himself closes the EP with a brand new version that's noticeably brighter, breezier and a whole lot more polished. Elsewhere, there's an excellent electrofunk-meets-acid tweak from Tad Wily, a thrilling Balearic house interpretation from Andrew Clarke (seriously wide-eyed and blessed with beats that sound like they've been nicked from The Chimes' "Heaven") and a great, live-sounding re-make from The Cruising. As remixes packages go, it's pretty darn tasty.

Review: Since setting their stall out in 2006, the Rebirth label has tried to reflect changing tastes, mixing up their releases accordingly. This expansive compilation showcases a selection of their disco-tinged releases and remixes, casually moving between dubbed-out nu-disco, revivalist fare and disco-leaning house. There's plenty for disco diggers to enjoy, from he spacey, low-end throb of Mock & Toof's remix of Nufrequency and Faze Action's bouncing synth-disco re-cut of Stretch Silvester, to a vintage, synth-laden collaboration between Spirit Catcher and Ilija Rudman. There's also an early, pre-hype remix from Tensnake and a typically adventurous Dr Dunks outing from Eric Duncan.

Collected Original Works (2007-2011)EXCLUSIVE
Review: There's a growing feeling that the time has come for Berlin-based Brazilian Rotciv to emerge from the shadows. While he's been on the radar of those in the know for some time thanks to a string of quietly impressive edits, remixes and original productions, he's yet to receive wider acclaim. This excellent mini-album of collected original productions could finally tip the balance in his favour. He confidently flits between delicious old skool house, Italo-influenced nu-disco, pleasing deepness, contemporary electrofunk (check the delightful "Need A Fix") and wobbly Kraftwerk-isms, all the while keeping a firm fix on the dancefloor. As with most of his releases, it's well worth a listen.
