Valique / Various
Review: One time funk/breaks producer turned party edit king, Valique, is not one to be burdened with the responsibilities that come with artistic credibility. This guy just wants to have a good time, and here on V-Shaped, a compilation of some of his best remixes, he provides 12 demonstrations of this philosophy. Highlights include his deliciously dreamy synth-disco rework of Kraak & Smaak's "How We Gonna Stop The Time", the accelerated swing/jazz minimal house of the "Dark Jazz Dub" by Nekta and his tough electro-funk remix of "Disco Life" by Basement Freaks. An impressive back catalogue indeed!

Review: Tal M Klein is the head honcho of San Francisco label Aniligital, which chiefly serves to promote his own unique brand of 'Drunk Funk'. This is the latest in a series of other people's remixes of his own work. Firstly we have "House On The Left" as remixed by Valique and Iskradisco; with its gentle arpeggiated bassline, lilting percussion and floating synths, it's the sound of a summer evening of cocktails, canapes and after sun lotion. Daniel J remix of "Without Her" veers more into chill-out territory with added breakbeats and loops.

Review: San Fran man Tal M Klein could be described as a "serial collaborator". Here he offers up two more fine collaborations, one with fast-rising Soundcloud stars Irregular Disco Workers, and the other with regular muse Anthony Mansfield. "Slow Down", his showdown with the Irregular Disco Workers, is pleasingly Balearic; a shuffling, hands-aloft combination of slo-mo acid tweakery, drifting Harmonicas and piano house goodness. Think early Fila Brazilia meets Slow to Speak, and you're close. "Polk Street Stumblin", meanwhile, covers familiar Mansfield/Klein ground, offering a druggy analogue groove overlaid with weird noises and a killer double bass sample.

Review: With a sprawling discography that touches on everything from disco and deep house to acid, nu-disco and funk breaks, it's nigh on impossible to second-guess what Tal M Klein will release next. In the case of "Deep, Dark, Place", it's voodoo acid deepness. In practice, that means a moody, child-alarming fusion of brain-melting acid tweakery, atmospheric groovery and Afro percussion. It's like some kind of weird hallucinogenic trip, which should make it perfect for early morning spins. Soho808 provide a similarly intoxicating rework, whilst Dead Rose Music Company trots off a bonkers disco-acid road trip through Hampshire's more inbred rural backwaters.

Review: Such is his eclectic approach to music making, you never quite know what to expect from Tal M Klein. He seems equally as happy making funk breaks-influenced party grooves, deep-house head-nodders and quirky nu-disco. Here, he delivers the sort of deliriously simple slo-mo beauty that may cause an urge to be somewhere pretty, mildly refreshed, whilst watching the son peep over the horizon. The assembled remixers pick up this theme and run with it, delivering similarly slo-mo interpretations that range from Jean-Michel Jarre on dope (Gareth Cheshire) and bassbin-hugging heaviness (Sabo) to bongo-laden Balearic grooves (Romanowski). The included bonus cut "En El Rio Saverge" is pleasingly cosmic, too.

Review: While "House On The Left", the latest from San Fran veteran Tal M Klein, is excellent, it's the strong remix package that really makes this a must buy. The original version - a simple but brilliantly effective combination of lazy guitars, midtempo house grooves and nagging piano riffage - is remixed by Bicep, Earwig and Stereo 77. It's the Bicep boys who offer the strongest rework, turning in a smart retro-houser that coolly fuses touchy-feely late night pleasantries with rough acid tweakery. Earwig's rework is all lazy late night groove, while Stereo 77's "Ricanstruction" opts for some midtempo Latin shuffle. Great stuff all round.

Review: San Francisco residents Tal M Klein and Anthony Mansfield have long since made music on their own. But following the success of their previous collaborations, the duo hook up once more on this enigmatically titled EP. Brought to us by Aniligital Music, "For Juan Five" takes us on a journey through cosmic disco via the three new tracks from the pair. "Ciento Ocho," meaning '108' in Spanish opens the release in exactly that tempo. With deep, stretched out, hollow bass parts built around the crawling beat and light percussion, we get an eerily building disco texture here. Half way through comes a big breakdown that unveils a funkier element to proceedings complete with a rolling bass hook. "Desayuno En Timpani's" takes us further into the their cosmic atmosphere. Space keys echo alongside heavy drum parts and weird, otherworldly sounding flat basslines.
Adding to the percussive theme, timpani drums feature throughout ensuring that the track never lets up its pace or purposefulness. Perfect for the bigger soundsystems, you get the sense that the bass from this one will resonate in the furthest reaches of the solar system. Finishing the release is "Bomba De Tigre" which goes even deeper using the duo?s sub bass fuelled cosmic submarine.
808 kicks and old school keys join 303 basslines to explode into a full scale house assault in a track that bridges the gap between cosmic and early house. Forging a truly unique sound for themselves, Tal M Klein and Anthony Mansfield continue to see success as a collaborative pair. The "For Juan Five" EP is simply them raising the stakes and digging deeper into their captivatingly unearthly sound palette.
