Constellation EPDelusions Of Grandeur
You know those EPs that just hit the spot, no matter what mood you're in? Well, the latest offering from Mexican duo Soul Of Hex is one of those. Fresh off releasing bangers on Underground Resistance and the upcoming Kilometro 4.5 compilation, these guys are clearly operating at the top of their game - and the "Constellation EP" is the latest proof. Things start off with a real stomper in "Face Down." The track lays down a funky, earthy bassline that grabs you right from the jump, backed by some dub-tinged percussion that keeps the groove moving. Then we get to the title cut, "Constellation," and the vibe takes a turn towards the soulful and uplifting. The tempo picks up, the keys take centre stage, and we get lush vocal harmonies from Javonntte. "Dimension Spell" is where things really start to get funky. We've got these beefy guitar riffs, a bass line that just won't quit, and synth pads that reach for the heavens. It's a heady, euphoric blend of disco-influenced house that hits you right in the heart. Finally, we land on "Into The Night," which keeps the grooves rolling with a subtler, more understated vibe. It's all about that hypnotic, shape-shifting rhythm section - the drums that seem to shift and morph with every bar, the bassline that just won't let go. And layered atop that, we've got those jabbing Rhodes chords and an addictive vocal sample that stick in your head long after the track is over. Hex-cellent!

Any Signs Of LoveWalk Don't Walk Limited
Whether or not this is the final Crazy P outing remains to be seen but following the tragic and untimely death of frontwoman Danielle Moore a couple of months ago it could well be. Completed before she died, it arrives a quarter of a century on from the release of their debut album. It's certainly a superb sonic statement in their now trademark style - a warm, emotive and expressive collection of cuts that frequently blurs the boundaries between nu-disco, cosmic disco (see the incredible title track), organic deep house, slow acid ('System Failure'), dubby punk-funk ('Not Too Late'), skittish Afro-boogie ('Love Is Power'), weighty aqua-funk ('Mystify'), twisted electro-disco ('The Revolution Will Not Be Anything'), and their own 'classic' sound ('Human After All' and 'Strange Affair').

Feel The GrooveGroove Culture
Marc Cotterell is head honcho of the superb Plastic People label but this, his second full-length outing, comes instead on Italy's Groove Culture label, which is headed up by Micky More and Andy Tee. That's not the only surprise: if you're familiar with Cotterell's back catalogue you'll notice this album perhaps has more instrumental/near-instrumental jams and less vocals than you might be expecting. But otherwise the MO remains broadly similar: trad-style house and garage with disco overtones are the order of the day generally and there are bombs galore on offer, from the pure funk groove of 'Feel The Groove' to the smooth, sultry garage of 'Deep Inside' to the bumpin' organ throb of closer 'To The Beat'. Excellent work!

Winter Sunshine EPHot Digits Music
Since debuting in 2017, Stephen Richards has notched up releases on many of the nu-disco and re-edit scene's most checked imprints. Here he makes his bow on another, Fingerman's Hot Digits music. The three Richards originals on offer sound like hybrid productions, where his original beats and instrumentation are joined by samples from vintage disco and soul cuts. There's much to admire, from the mid-tempo, break-driven nu-disco colour of 'Winter Sunshine', where mazy synth sounds, dewy-eyed female vocal samples and laidback disco guitars catch the ear, to the Italian disco-meets-Italo-disco squelch of 'Gynoid' and the layered nu-disco warmth of 'Beat Don't Stop'. Chewy Rubs reworks 'Winter Sunshine', beefing it up and pitching it up to house-tempo while utilising his favourite bits of Richards' original mix.

House Of SpiritsRazor-N-Tape
Super Elevation label owner (and noted crate diggin' DJ) Tom Noble spent the best part of a decade working on House of Spirits, his debut album. Crafted in various studios at different points over the last ten years, it presents a retro-futurist collection of dancefloor soul and disco workouts rich in live instrumentation and vocals. It's nostalgic, but also timeless, with Noble offering nods to the likes of Patrick Adams and the Mizzell Brothers, as well as various aspects of Black American dance music from the 70s and 80s. The results are predictably potent, with highlights including driving future anthem 'Love Trip', the disco-funk joy of 'Please Take Me There', low-slung and slo-mo Dreamcastmoe collaboration 'Diamond Eyes' and the deeper delight that is 'Moving Away'.

Too Slow To Disco Edits 17: Monsieur Van PrattHow Do You Are?/Too Slow To Disco
After admiring his work from afar for a few years, the Too Slow To Disco crew reached out to Super Spicy Records chief and long-standing Mexican nu-disco don Monsieur Von Pratt. The result is this tidy two-tracker, his first contribution to their popular edits series. On side A, he gets to work on a 'super obscure' (in the label's own words) disco-era Mexican cover of Bobby Caldwell's 'What You Won't Do For Love'. Marked out by gorgeous and horn-heavy orchestration, lightly straightened out disco grooves and expressive Spanish language vocals, it's a proper low-tempo disco delight that sounds like an anthem in the making. For the virtual B-side, he gives us 'Believe', a lolloping, pleasingly swinging revision of a lesser-known gospel disco workout that's as sunny as it is addictive.
