The Funk District
Various
Review: As the title makes clear, this action-packed collection draws on the vast archives of Brazilian edit and nu-disco imprint About Disco, with a sprinkling of unheard cuts thrown in. It will be an ongoing series (volume two is due next month), with this opening missive featuring far more hits than misses. The highlight-filled track listing features such delights as 'Cut X-1' by label founder Rafael Cancian, a slightly dubbed-out chunk of hypnotising disco edit action, the deliriously percussive peak-time release of Javi Frias's 'The Big C' (check the rubbery, low-slung bass guitar and flanged electric guitar licks), the celebratory brilliance of the Funk District's grandiose disco-funk tweak, 'Sexy Funk Machine', and a rock-solid Rafael Cancian revision of a much-loved disco anthem ('Try To Change', which breathes new life into a Gino Soccio favourite).

Review: We've become accustomed to the Editorial label offering up expansive EPs packed to the rafters with tasty edits and reworks, but even by the imprint's high standards Raw Funk is rather special. It begins with a bumpin' chunk of hazy and excitable sample house courtesy of Cody Currie (the brilliant 'Aquarian Girl') and ends with some slow-motion, downtempo disco sweetness from Ed Wizard & Disco Double Dee ('Slippin'); in between, you'll find a fine rearrangement of an organ-laden chunk of sweaty dancefloor soul (the Funk District's 'An Evening With El Diablo'), some slap-bass-sporting disco-funk (Matt Hughes' 'Get Down'), and a righteous trip into driving disco territory (the Owl's low-slung 'Funky Feelin').

Review: Editorial are back everyone: look out! Our favourite edits label now presents us with The Funk District, who is Fernando Mendoza based out of Cancun, Mexico. There's some smooth and soulful disco edited for your convenience on "Groove Me", any guesses who he's taken the razor to on this one? On "Give It To You" we're loving the sultry vibes he's accentuating from the original and "Summer Breeze" takes us back for another glorious ride on the soul train assisted by some nice filtered and loopy build ups that'd make even The Noodleman stand up and notice!
