Review: Clocking it at just under 2.5 hours long, you certainly can't fault this Rare Wiri year-end label comp on the value for money front! With 23 tracks on offer there's no room here to go into them all individually, and you probably have a pretty good idea of the label's particular electronic, 80s-leaning flavour of nu-disco anyway. Suffice to say, then, that Rare Wiri's many existing fans will be more than satisfied while newbies - if there are any left! - should start with AINZ's chunky, sleazy 'Hangover', the Italo strut of From Beyond's 'Non Analogue', MR Gee's throbbing 'Gravity', Rune Lindbaek's sci-fi refix of Ilya Santana's 'Cosmos Rising' or, a personal fave, Kelton Prime's 'Disco Arpeggio', wherein nu-disco meets garage vox...

Review: South London lad Tony Johns returns to Rare Wiri with two tracks of uncertain genesis: he's probably best known for his re-edits but he does make original tracks as well, and which category these two fall into we couldn't tell you. Either way, though, 'Hidden Sadness' is a hazy, pulsating, Balearic-ish instrumental jam, with the synths mostly to the fore but also sporting a nice little piano interlude in the mid-section, while 'Synthsational' is more uptempo and packs a heftier bottom end, making it the pick to these ears. If electronic disco is your bag, this is one to check for sure.

Review: With an EP title like 'Boogie Grooves' there are no prizes for guessing what style/era from the dancefloor history books is being paid homage to here. Kelton Prima's opener 'The Lights' is a masterclass in shimmering early 80s synths and chorus'd, slightly chipmunky fem vox, Tony Johns' 'Watching You' revisits the 1980 jam of the same name by Ohio funkateers Slave, 'Slow-N-Funky' drops down into decadent, string-drenched 70s disco mode as it loops up the backing vox from a 1975 cut by Furman & Johnson, but the pick of a fine crop is Pete Le Freq's more house-ified 'Stars Out', a rework of Stargard's 'Wear It Out' from 1979.

Review: We Mean Disco! deal in quality and they also like to tease - they released a short preview of their latest comp a whole month ago, whetting appetites to a frenzy. Well, Allstar Nuggets Volume 3 is finally here and it's bursting with a whopping 26 pumpers including the chrome and carpet slap-bass jam "Double Express", the breezy Eurodisco of Butch Le Butch's "He's So Shy" and Max K's uplifting retweak of Tullio De Piscopo's hazy classic "Stop Bajon".

Review: Here's a tantalizing prospect: an expansive collection of edits and reworks old and new from some of the greatest exponents in the disco scene. With such quality fare on offer, picking highlights is tough, but keep an eye out for the contributions from Frico (a straightened-out and chopped-up version of Orlando Johnson & Trance's boogie classic "Chocolate City"), DJ Prime (a soaring version of disco-soul classic "Nothing's Gonna Hold Us Back"), Manix (the filter-heavy disco-funk workout "Hangin Through") and Alkalino (the heavy P-funk jam "This is a Party"). There's also another chance to enjoy scene classics from Revivra (their brilliant 2010 rework of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On?") and The Apple Scruffs (the vocoder-laden Pink Floyd disco cover "Another Brick In The Wall").
