Solitude EditsEXCLUSIVE
Played by: Romanto (YSR / DISCO MACHINE)
Review: Alkalino's dug pretty deep for this latest re-edits EP, with our disco detectives only able to identify the source of two of the four cuts. The two we can't place are 'Mad Words', a lightly tropically-infused disco shimmy with an androgynous spoken, Euro-sounding vocal and "whoo-oo-ooh" backing vox, and 'Solitude', an instrumental comprised of fluttering guitars, organs and some killer "pyoww!" stabs. Elsewhere, 'It's Not In Your Eyes' reworks the cod reggae of Boz Scaggs' 'Love Me Tomorrow' (1976) into a midtempo, piano-led disco groove while Change's Jocelyn Brown-starring 'It's A Girl's Affair' (1980) gets reworked as 'People Be Aware".

Linosaur EditsEXCLUSIVE

Review: Given the titular nod to the era of breakdancing, garish tracksuits and high-top fades, it should come as no surprise that there's a distinctly late 70s/early 80s feel to this new collection of reworks from Audaz boss Alkalino. Opener 'If You Want To' revisits Bileo's 'You Can Win' from 1979, before we skip forward a decade as Womack & Womack's 'MFB' from 1988 becomes 'I Lost My Love'. We then get Alkalino's take on Tommy Tate's 'For The Dollar Bill' from 1981, now retitled 'People Will Do Anything', before it's back to the 70s for 'Floating', a reworking of The Floaters' stone-cold 1977 classic 'Float On'.

Lolita Edits Vol 1EXCLUSIVE
Review: Listen up, cos this one's just a little bit confusing! Audaz released the first of their 'Lolita' re-edit EPs in October 2019; by February 2021 there were 32 volumes in the series, each packing 10 tracks. Now here comes a five-track 'best of' selection credited to label boss Alkalino, who presumably is finally owning up! Reworking obscure dancefloor cuts from AKB, Detroit Emeralds (okay, that one's not so obscure), Radiance, Catherine Miller and Johnny Taylor, the EP will serve as a useful introduction to the series for anyone who's yet to become familiar, even if long-term fans will own all these tracks already.

Review: Some cheeky fun here with two new perky numbers from Munich's Audaz. First up Adrian Giodano delivers "It's On You", a foray into Italo-disco's chirpy day-glo later period - think Fun Fun on strong happy pills. Label boss Alkalino also steps in with "Set Dem Free", a silly slice of pumping feelgood house that is guaranteed to get everyone in the club smiling no matter how hard they may try to resist.

Review: Portugese edit hitman Alkalino drops two new cuts on his home label Audaz, and it seems he's in the mood for some deep and mystical house servings this time around. "Dancing With Somebody" is a true groover, a chunky dance arrangement surrounded by loopy R&B vocals, while "Dance To The House" is distinctly old-school in flavour, a mid-90's joint that has been reworked and twisted into a more contemporary disguise.

Review: Munich's finest via Portugal: Lino Rodrigues aka Alakalino is back again in his relentless pursuit to spread the gospel of deep house music. "Irrtum" is haunting, dusty and indeed deep house, which is carried mainly by nefariously dark horn sounds on this late night jam. "Ismena" by Antigona (not to be confused with Frenchman Antigone) provides a dark tech house journey track, with some sombre Ry Cooder style guitars over a tunnelling groove. This guy's got potential!

Review: A very distinctive-sounding EP here from Berlin-based Portuguese producer Lino Rodrigues Polonio, better known as Alkalino, coming on his own Audaz label. 'Rastafari' is a midtempo deep house groove, long on sweeping pads and topped with a spoken Rastaman vocal, with the overall effect recalling the work of the mighty Mutabaruka. 'Haile Selassie' veers more towards leftfield electronica with its slo-mo drums and synth bleeps, and sports just a looped female "Selassie-I!" by way of a vocal. It's really the former that will be of most interest to house buyers, though 'Haile Selassie' could still find its way into longer, more adventurous sets.

Review: Since delivering a set of solid re-edits for KAT in the summer, Alkalino has been on a mission to showcase his original house productions. This is his fifth and presumably final EP of the autumn and contains four reliable chunks of dancefloor goodness. We're rather enjoying the bustling and foreboding late night nu-disco synths and exotic electronic melodies of "Do You Wanna", as well as the organ-driven late night house throb of "Grow Effekt". That said, closer "Ballash", a saunter into the kind of hazy, dub-driven deep house that was once the hallmark of Miguel Migs' productions for NRK, is also rather good. "Glance", a swirling fusion of trippy electronics and elastic drums, completes a tasty package.

Review: The words 'Chicago' and 'house' come to mind with this new Trax series by Audaz boss Alkalino. There's little trace of his disco influence here as he presents four tracks that could have been made in the windy city in about 1987. "Pull Me Through" begins the EP with some deep, touchy feely, soulful house goodness before the pounding snares and atonal electronics of sweaty basement anthem "Much love" arrive. Next we take a detour with the ABBA-sampling hiNRG jam "Rollercoaster 3000" before "Treat Me Right" wraps things up with some darkly sensual punky funk.

Review: Scene stalwart Alkalino continues to serve up new material at a furious rate. A matter of days has passed since the release of his muscular, house and Italo-disco flavoured "From Minga To The World" EP, and he's already back with another trio of original productions. There's plenty of variety, too. So while "My Disco Passion (Beats Tool)" offers a chunky, bass-heavy, percussive and filter-rich take on "French Touch" style disco-house, "People Have Stopped" is a fine chunk of deep house/nu-disco fusion rich in jammed-out electric piano riffs, breathy female vocal samples and squidgy, acid style electronic motifs. Then there's relaxed and groovy EP opener "Simple Tune", a Balearic nu-disco bubbler fit for eyes-closed moments and seaside afternoon DJ sets.
