Review: For their 100th release, Hot Digits bring us a truly outstanding collection that gathers together the best of the label's last 50 outings. Just one look at the talent roster involved should be enough to get any contemporary disco lover's tastebuds tingling, replete as it is with names like Fingerman, Dexter Jones, Fray Bentos, C Da Afro, Dave Mathmos and Jet Boot Jack, and suffice to say the music they provide doesn't disappoint one iota! With 30 full-length cuts plus two hour-long DJ mixes there's no room here to go into every track, but whether you like it deep n' chuggy, funky n' furious or boogie-tastic n' soul-tinged, you'll find plenty of fresh ammo for your disco machine gun here.

Review: Fresh from releases on all manner of well-regarded edit imprints - Hot Digits, Super Spicy and Hot Gorilla included - Drippin' In Disco main man Toby O'Connor makes his bow on Tropical Disco. The North Wales-based DJ/producer has delivered an expansive, album-length set of what sound like subtly tooled-up revisions of vintage cuts, sashaying between jazz guitar-laden late-night cosmic soul ('Cosmic Radiation'), bluesy swamp-funk ('Moonshine' and the piano-heavy slow jam 'Saloom Blues'), Clavinet-laden Balearic funk ('Tribal Funk'), bass-heavy disco-jazz ('Slap On The Butter'), jazz-house ('Holding On For You', where he takes to the mic), low-slung hazy house ('Get What You Need'), trumpet-laden disco-funk ('Spaghetti Western'), and much more besides.

Review: Hot Gorilla's latest must-check missive brings together two rising stars of the nu-disco and edit scenes: label regular Conan The Selector and sometime Tropical Disco, Super Spicy and Disco Balls contributor Toby O'Connor. In its' original form, 'Starlight' is a sparkling slab of anthemic nu-disco that combines 21st century synths and classic disco instrumentation with a stellar lead vocal from guest singer Sulene Fleming. Bold, celebratory and exciting, we expect to hear it lots when British clubs reopen later in the year. Also impressive are the solo dub mixes offered up by each of the producers. First Conan The Selector delivers a deliciously low-slung disco revision rich in rubbery bass, tipsy trumpet solos and Chic style guitar licks, before O'Connor smartly emphasises the beats and bass.

Review: This EP from Toby O'Connor, coming on Fingerman's Belfast-based Hot Digits Music, is sitting in our disco section but would be equally at home flying under the jazz-funk flag. Dexterously finger-picked jazz geetar and parping horns form the backbone of most of the six tracks - the only real exception being 'Back In 95', which delegates the hefty lifting to Hammonds and flutes instead, and which comes accompanied by a more immediately club-friendly Fingerman's Nude Disco Remix. If you dig the likes Roy Ayers, Dexter Wansell or Deodato, you'll find plenty to enjoy here.

Review: Electronic jazz, funk and instrumental disco sensations from Toby O'Connor. Alongside its swinging horns, moods to swing and lonely trumpets, rattling finger percussion, cocktail effect atmospherics and a plodding bassline sees "Busta Boogie" go deep! "Loosey Goosey" then brings in an exotica vibe to the mix with a funky guitar lead, ragtime trumpets furthermore and a classic tech house groove. Drippin' with Dynamite!
