Review: Like its predecessor, 'Urban Grooves 2' takes a deep dive into the vast vaults of IRMA Records, resurfacing with a 30-track set of "urban funk breaks dub hip-hop beats". In practice, that means a mix of head-nodding, slow-motion disco-funk (see the various contributions by hypno-disco king LTJ Xperience), rubbery jazz-funk-goes-dub disco workouts (Vito Lalinga), toe-tapping, sample-heavy instrumental hip-hop (Ice One), Latin-flecked downtempo grooves (Lo Greco Bros and Flow Bop), sumptuous neo-soul (Orange Factory), and wah-wah guitar sporting deep funk (The Smoke Orchestra). Equal parts club-ready and sofa-friendly, 'Urban Grooves 2' is a uniformly entertaining and life-affirming compilation.

Review: There's a steady flow of quality grooves coming out of the Sound Exhibitions stable right now, with this three-tracker from Italy's Vito Lalinga being but one case in point. High-calibre contemporary funk is the general order of the day, with 'Your Love' being a rumbustious affair laden with brass, soaring sax and diva-esque "something about your love" vox, while 'Route 66' is a slower-moving jam with super-sleazy guitars, wailing harmonica and (by way of contrast) positively bright and summery keys. Completing the EP is 'No Baby', a classy slice of disco-funk with a gorgeous, reverb-heavy female vocal.

Review: Ever-prolific Italian Laligna serves up six cuts here that are heavily sample-based but probably still more fairly described as new productions rather than re-edits, especially as he's eschewed any obvious sample choices. The EP opens with the jazzy Blaxploitation flavas of 'On My Soul' and closes with the moody 'Family Funk', which has a smoky, late-night air, while in-between you'll find four more tracks that capture that 70s funk/soul vibe perfectly, from the rock geetar squall on 'Buddy Show' to the barrio funk feel of 'Take To The Top' and the honky-tonk boogie of 'Feel The Blues'.

Review: With 24 tracks to choose from, there's no faulting the value for money offered by this latest collection from Italy's Sound Exhibitions camp, which features multiple contributions from label regulars C Da Afro, DJ Moy and Vito Lalinga. 'Nu disco', in this instance, tends to refer to tracks that faithfully reproduce 70s stylings - you won't find much here in the way of Italo-inspired synth workouts, for instance - but there's the odd excursion into housier/more electronic territory, such as on the Afro Acid Dub of Lalinga's 'Hard Core', while soul lovers will enjoy cuts like Goodge's 'Step Forward'.

Review: Vito Lalinga, the mastermind behind Vi Mode Inc. Project, drops Storm featuring six tracks that blend a variety of musical styles, including tropical, Afro, funk, downtempo, and jazz. The album weaves together African and Latin American elements with western instrumentation, creating an authentic and innovative sound. With memorable melodies and percussive rhythms on every track, the organic quality of the release shines through, and the warm brass sections stand out as a highlight. Lalinga's ability to blend musical styles shines through, resulting in a unique and captivating release.

Review: Prolific Italian producer returns to Sound Exhibitions with four more dancefloor despatches - this time, as the title suggests, with strong jazzual overtones. Opener 'What's Up' is a looping, lolloping groove made up of funk guitars, trumpets, male and female rap vocals and two competing nagging keyboard riffs, while 'Black Sunshine' gets properly wigged-out in late 70s jazz-funk style. 'I Want You' operates in similar territory but is just a little more laidback, while completing the EP is 'Alone Again', a downtempo jam with a melancholy, cinematic feel. All good, but for 'does what it says on the tin' satisfaction the middle two tracks stand out.

Review: When an EP's entitled 'Retro Funk' you kinda know what you're getting, but what's really impressive about this five-track EP is the range of ground covered within just five tracks. Opener 'Silverdory' has distinct echoes of both Fatback and The Average White Band. 'Believe In Me' has a slightly jazzier feel, with the saxophone taking centre stage, while 'Come & Touch' looks to the deep funk of the late 60s for inspiration. Shut your eyes and 'Give Up The Funk' will have you mentally cruising 70s Harlem in your stretch Lincoln, before the brassy, soul-infused 'Betty Day' plays us out.

Review: Prolific Italian producer Vito Lalinga brings us a musical tribute to The Big Apple here. In its Original form, 'New York City' opens with a fluttering acoustic guitar riff and a spoken, heavily accented female vocal, before introducing a second, sung vocal that's then cut up over a backing which blends disco, jazz-funk and garage influences into an irresistibly shimmering dancefloor concoction. The Dancefloor Remix ups the tempo slightly and adds house-y pianos and sax parps; the Squerzanti Silvan beefs things up another notch or two, while the EP's completed by the western-infused 'Beat' with its harmonica wails and Spanish-language vox.

Review: Synth-wielding nu-disco maestro Vito Lalinga fires up his VI Mode Inc Project for another expansive outing on Sound Exhibitions. It's a wonderfully summery and sun-kissed affair, with the experienced producer first offering up a chunk of bass-heavy Latin disco (the glistening guitar solos, beefy bass guitar and jaunty pianos of "Santiago De Cuba") before doffing his cap to Cuban salsa and mabo heroes on the flute-laden "Cubano". He continues on this rum-fuelled tip on sax-sporting roller "Cuban Tape", while "Louisiana Paradise City" is a bluesy and jazzy chunk of thickset late night drama. Finally, "Fiesta Latina" delivers on the promise of its title in weighty fashion.
