Review: More value-for-money goodness from Situationism's 'In The Bag' series, which offers up tried-and-tested tunes and never-before-heard remixes of catalogue cuts. As you'd expect, label bosses Situation are heavily represented, with Max Essa's dreamy, squelch-along Balearic nu-disco tweak of 'Say Goodbye' being joined by Masterman's deep and spacey house revision of their Andre Esput hook-up, 'Not So Crazy'. The hits come thick and fast elsewhere across the EP, from the groovy, dubby, disco-tinged deep house shuffle of 'Peqach Snapps' by Francesco S, and a gorgeously summery spin on Javontte's 'Beautiful' by South Beach Recycling, to the deep, broken house sunshine that is 'L'Amore' by Aaron Matthews, and the mid-tempo New Jersey garage retro-futurism of Bittasuite's 'We Have Landed'.

Review: Originally scheduled for a December release, here at last come the remixes for a Situation/Andre Espeut collab that first landed back in November. The original sat somewhere on the mod-soul-acid jazz spectrum, but the remixes take us down a more uptempo route. Fingerman's Version Excursion gets the ball rolling and has something of a laidback, Nang-style nu-disco feel, before Soulfuledge bring us a percussion-led, Afro-tinged house rerub. Groovement Inc's take sits towards the broken beat end of the soulful house spectrum, before Ash Reynold steps up with a Balearic-leaning deep house take that for this reviewer is the pick of the crop.

Review: Vocalist Andre Espeut has appeared on so many Situation releases that we're genuinely not sure if he's officially a member of the band or not! Here they hook up once again, and suffice to say if you've dug any of their previous outings you'll probably be feeling this one too. Situation's uniquely soulful take on contemporary disco/boogie is in full effect on the original, a Vocal Reprise will please the more creative jocks, Ron Basejam drags us into a sweaty basement on his druggier, chuggier rub, and finally fellow scene stalwarts Chevals come with a mellower take that lets the vox and strings shine through.

Situation feat Andre Espeut
Review: West Country heroes Situation have kept it local on their latest EP, which offers up a suite of previously unheard re-rubs of Andre Espeut hook-up "Beyond Compare" by Bristol-based house hero Sean McCabe. It starts with vocal and instrumental interpretations built around warming, mood-enhancing chords, jangly piano riffs, unfussy beats and the kind of slick, ear-catching electronic bassline more associated with Atjazz productions. Then McCabe offers up a superb "Vocal Reprise" take that sounds a little "fuller" and more energy-packed (thanks in part to his use of more urgent-sounding vocal snippets and grandiose chord sequences), as well as a brilliantly dreamy and locked-in Dub that sounds a little like one of Frankie Knuckles' classic remixes. The final bonus treat is definitely worth some special attention too.

Review: Thanks to the rapid spread of COVID-19, the festival season has been unofficially cancelled. Situation think we should still all party - alone, of course - while in isolation so have served up 'The Festival EP' - a suitably good-time collection of cuts that should inspire you to dance around the living room. The set the tone with the jazz-funk-meets-deep house brilliance of "Soulstice" - check the lazy guitar solos, Rhodes chords and bubbly bass guitar - before doffing a cap to one of Glastonbury's most celebrated behind-the-scenes spots on the similarly languid, live-sounding "Maceos". "Stardust" is a rich, wah-wah-guitar flecked shuffle through deep disco pastures, while "Let's Dance" is an energetic slab of Prince style purple funk complete with fizzing slap bass and wavy, eyes-closed guitar solos.

Situation feat Andre Espeut
Review: For the second time, Stroud collective Situation joins forces with golden-voiced singer Andre Esput and asks, "What Is Going On?" Some of their many producer pals provide sterling remixes of the Cotswolds crew's tasty original version, which hit stores back in June. The Andromeda Orchestra step up first with a low-slung, party-hearty disco-funk version that expertly channels the spirit of Marvin Gaye's "Got To Give It Up", before West Country deep house veterans BRS offer up a smooth, warm and groovy revision tailor made for sun-kissed afternoons, humid evenings and sweat-soaked nights. To round things things off in style, Bitter Suite peppers a broken beat influenced house groove with jazz-funk synths, spacey chords and just the right amount of warming slap bass.

Review: The Situation crew are taking over the disco-balearic connection, coming through with constant quality, often drenched in a familiar poppy feel that we very much need at this moment of the year. "You Gotta Move" is a slow, funky little number with everything from liquid guitars melting lift, right and centre, to seductive vocals reminiscent of the 1980s. If that wasn't enough, they've recruited a rather fine set of remixers, with the legendary Ashley Beedle spear-heading the festivities with a broken beat monster in a fine boogie style.

Situation feat Andre Espeut
Review: UK edit maestro Situation usually cloaks himself in a noticeable disco look, but this new EP for Situationism sees the artist adopt a more house-centric guise, backed by the effervescent vocals and charisma of Andre Espeut. The duo's "Not So Crazy" is a quirky, disco-friendly house chugger with a sublimely tropical percussion and tied together by zesty boogie basslines. There's a whole artillery of remixers to boot: Peza rolls thorugh with a bit of electro house, Mr Mulatto drops a heartical Miracle dub, Audio Luxury offers a sweet, nostalgic garage sound, and Masterman ties it all off with some wavy, progressive hits of the drums. Top stuff!

Situation feat Andre Espeut
Review: Gloucestershire collective Situation continues to impress with their soul-soaked singles, which invariably join the dots between nu-disco, electrofunk and deep house. That's certainly the case on "Put The Rhythm In Your Life", where slick soul singer Andre Esput adds his honeyed tones to a midtempo electro-soul shuffler. Andre Espeut is in a bolder mood on "Kiss The Sky", wrapping his impassioned vocals around Prince style purple funk guitars, New Jersey organs and an unfussy house groove. Arguably best of all, though, is "Gonna Get Real Nice", whose combination of hushed vocals, dreamy deep house chord progressions and tumbling jazz guitar licks is reminiscent of fellow West Country outfit The Rurals.

Situation feat Andre Espeut
Review: 'Be a Better Man' is Situation's first outing on Situationism with new vocalist to the fold Andre Espeut bringing his unique vocal & song writing talents sparking an exciting collaboration with Situation's collective. After the successful "Get to Know Me" release on Nang late last year this is the 2nd release Situation have had with Andre & there is much more to come! 5 reasons bring us a funky filter drenched dancefloor pleaser in their inimitable style! The combination of their new style deep house with a sprinkling of nu disco & big production shows us again the talent that is 5 Reasons. The winning combination of Greg Wilson & Derek Kaye on the remix has delivered another beautiful deep dance floor winner! This heavy synth drenched groove has electro piano lines reminiscent of late 80's jams with a dubbed out breakdown before launching back into a bumping instrumental section to finish.
Californian West coast producer Juan Hoerni brings us his distinctive Latin house vibes with incredible flute & trumpet playing by David Soto from Puerto Rico, creating an infectious Hispanic house killer! Ourra take us on their 80's boogie down journey, keeping the vocals raw & cleverly cut up in snippets with a great driving bass groove that kicks with the snappy drums & percussion. Covered in 80's synths, this is a serious slice of boogie action!

Review: Situationism is run by a mysterious 'collective of DJs and producers from the five valleys'. Although little is revealed about their identities, we do know that this compilation is their biggest release yet and it boasts the mighty "On It" by Peza. The track's clever fusion of a boogie sample (Starguard's High On The Boogie) and some subtle 303 work has got people talking and dancing already. The quality stays high over the remaining tracks too, highlights including George Kelly's melancholic Italo gem, "Trip to Jupiter", Vampire Disco's moody synth prowler "Orbit" and the chilled cocktail grooves of Alkalino's "Trigger".
