Review: Almost two years on from the release of his fine - if arguably under-appreciated - debut album Waving, Athens veteran Lex returns to Leng Records with an EP that combines killer revisions of album tracks with two previously unreleased originals. The remixes are particularly impressive, with Faze Action's wonderfully colourful, pitched-down Balearic nu-disco revision of 'Punta Allen' - where the Lee brothers successfully add to the original version's cheery musicality - being followed by Ruf Dug's gloriously eccentric, acid-flecked house-not-house version of 'Prezend'. Elsewhere, 'Super Awake' is an immersive, TB-303-sporting chunk of sunrise dancefloor psychedelia, and Locke hook-up 'Libre D'Amor' is a glassy-eyed chunk of piano-powered '80s house nostalgia.
Review: Nude Disco's previous collaboration with Curtis Chip, 2023's 'High Rollers', was a bona fide club hit, so it's no surprise to find the cut - a sweet and sunny slab of nu-disco/boogie house fusion - kicking off the pair's new mini-album. It is followed by title track 'Never Be Lonely', a synthesiser-powered slab of peak-time instrumental nu-disco rich in glassy-eyed vocal samples and squelchy bass, and a trio of rather good bonus cuts. Check first the slo-mo disco sweetness of 'Diana's House', a groove-focused riff on Diana Ross classic 'It's My House', before admiring the tooled-up '80s soul bounce of 'Hey Scotty' and the deliciously deep, funky and dreamy 'Lumineaux'.
