Dark Pop Edits Vol 3EXCLUSIVE
Review: Number three in a series whose title was self-explanatory to start with, so you should have a pretty good idea what's going on here as re-editor par excellence Alkalino makes free with 11 more nuggets from days of yore. Getting the treatment this time are Prince's '1999', Michael Jackson's 'Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough', Dire Straits' 'So Far Away', Rocksteady Crew's 'Hey You', Journey's 'Don't Stop Believing', King's 'Love And Pride', Visage's 'Move Up', The Smiths' 'Bigmouth Strikes Again', The Stranglers' 'Always The Sun' and a couple of unidentified cuts (one of which sounds like it might be The Human League while the other has a Front 242/Meat Beat Manifesto-like feel)... some surprising sources there for sure, but they're all handled with Alkalino's trademark aplomb so listen with open ears!

Dark Pop Edits Vol 4EXCLUSIVE
Played by: BAZZA RANKS
Review: This is the fourth volume in the series, so you should have the idea by now: Audaz boss Alkalino revisits his youth by taking on pop hits (mostly) from the late 70s and 80s, often reworking the most unlikely source material into dancefloor gold. This time out, though, he's cast his net a little wider, with sources including Jimmy Soul's 1963 calypso hit 'If You Wanna Be Happy', The Chordettes' 'Mr Sandman' from 1954 (an unexpected standout), Sixto Rodiquez's 'Sugar Man' from 1970 and Johnny Cash's 'I Walk The Line' from 1956, as well as the more par-for-the-course likes of The Clash's 'Guns Of Brixton', Stan Ridgway's 'Camouflage', M's 'Pop Muzik' and Paul Hardcastle's '19'.

Cicciolino's Gold EditsEXCLUSIVE
Review: With 17 tracks on offer there's no room here to list the source material for every track on this latest re-edits selection from the ever-busy Alkalino, even if we could identify them all - which we can't, because it's fair to say he's dug really deep here to find some gems. No guilty 80s pop pleasures here, just obscure disco, Italo and boogie nuggets expertly repolished to suit modern dancefloors, the arguable exception to that rule being an excellent take on the Detroit Emeralds' 1972 soul/funk classic "Baby Let You Take Me (In My Arms)", here reinvented as "Let Me Kiss You". Other highlights include the lazy, sensual "Feel The Music" and the dreamy jazz-fusion of "Ghetto Blues".

Dark Pop EditsEXCLUSIVE
Review: Audaz boss Alkalino has never been shy of wearing his pop-loving heart on his sleeve, and this latest collection of re-edits merely underlines the point, as he serves up fresh reworks of (mostly) 80s gems. The edits themselves range from 'token' to 'truly radical' and you'll have your own faves for sure, but sources include The Cure ('Let's Go To Bed'), New Order ('Temptation'), Visage ('Fade To Grey'), Dead Or Alive ('You Spin Me Round'), Nik Kershaw ('I Won't Let The Sun Go Down On Me'), Kate Bush ('Them Heavy People'), Talking Heads ('Seen And Not Seen'), Alphaville ('Big In Japan'), Jona Lewie ('You'll Always Find Me In The Kitchen At Parties') and, rewinding back into the 70s as the album draws to a close, David Bowie ('Starman').

Roots EditsEXCLUSIVE
Played by: Juno Recommends Disco
Review: Portuguese producer Alkalino has been relatively quiet of late, at least by his own prolific standards, so it's hardly a surprise to find that his return to action is an album-length collection of tried-and-tested re-edits with a firm focus on the dancefloor. He begins with the bass-heavy Afro-disco bounce of 'Superstition', before variously serving up post-punk disco throb-jobs ('Warp'), guitar-laden disco-rock ('5 Letters'), percussion-laden global disco excess ('Kingston Town'), tooled-up Zimbabwean excellence ('Lion of Zimbabwe'), what sounds like a synth-laden William Onyeabor revision ('Be My Angel'), filter-heavy Afro house-not-house ('Just Begun') and colourful highlife reworks ('Oh Deus').

Played by: Alkalino
Review: Maybe it was his move to Munich that inspired his conversion to house, but whatever it was, Portuguese disco edit don Alkalino's original productions have got a lot more mechanical indeed. This is not a bad thing, it just means we get less disco for now. This latest two-tracker boasts a pair of tracks that presents deep and sparse robotic house grinder "Bang The Box" and the frankly superior spooky rhythmic riser, "Dementia".
