Review: Usually more associated with the spacey, instrumental end of things, it seems that Marco Dionigi has followed the lead of his pop loving pal Sam Faz on their latest collaboration, Word Up. It's a cover of Cameo's immortal 1986 jam of the same name and, although they've stopped short of donning red codpieces, they've been pretty true to the original. They each present their own versions too with Marco delivering an incarnation that's embellished with lots of extra synthetic textures. Faz, on the other hand strips things back and concentrates on a bassy groove. Both fun and credible.

Review: If Marco Dionigi is anything like as prolific as he was in 2010, 2011 is going to be another bumper year for fans of his updated Italo disco sound. Ice & Wood sees him in typically dancefloor-friendly mood, laying down another 10 road-tested grooves for discerning disco DJs. As usual, there's a range of moods and styles on offer, slipping between the slap bass-wielding deep house niceness of "Open Source Obscure" and retro analogue filth of "World In Hands" and "Vanguard" which are interspersed with intergalactic oddness "Mantis Girl" and middle eastern electro "Mirror Faces". As ever, it's more obviously disco-centric tracks that really impress, with "On The Record" and "Keep Holding On" standing out.

Review: Jerome Derradji's excellent Still Music sub-label, Stilove4music, continues to trickle its stunning back catalogue into the digital domain for the first time, and this week it's the turn of Mancunian deep haus don Trus'me. This was the 12" that first turned the world's gaze onto the Prime Numbers boss's brilliant knack for jazzy, sample based house (along with the now legendary Nards CD sampler). And it's "Nards" that opens this release, with the tense strings, funkafied bassline and sultry vocal snatches sounding as brilliant today as they did upon first release in 2007. Add to this the languid title track - predating the current vogue for slo-mo house by some 18 months - and rolling groove of "Good God", featuring a vocal sample of the legendary Teddy Pendergrass, and you have an absolutely essential release.

Review: What is there left to say about Marco Dionigi? In our numerous reviews of his scarily frequent releases, we've pretty much covered all bases. Here, he delivers another instalment of the long-running Dirty Analogic Party series, in which he fiddles around with vintage equipment and delivers a blend of Italo, acid house and robo-disco party jams (and, it should be pointed out, sneakily edits up obscure releases from the halcyon days of cosmic disco). As usual, there's plenty for fans to enjoy, from the baggy alternative groovery of "Lights Went Down" and intergalactic pomp of "One More Mission", to the rugged disco-funk wig-out "Gain Off".

Review: What is there left to say about one-man-production-line and cosmic disco stalwart Marco Dionigi? Over the last couple of years, we've consistently sung his praises, despite a release schedule so packed it makes keeping up almost impossible. The Dirty Analogic Party series has always been one of his most trustworthy and floor-friendly brands, gathering together groovy, sample-heavy tracks and sneaky re-edits that blend elements of analogue house, cosmic rock, weirdo disco, Italo and Balearica. This eighth volume boasts plenty of playable fare, from the 808 boom and Robotnik-ish electronics of "Hiccups", to the cowbell-driven Euro-dirt of "I'm A Disco Machine", via the slo-mo pulse of cosmic rock oddity "Justice".

Review: Cosmic disco stalwart Marco Dionigi returns to action, and this time he's wielding one of those ludicrously over-sized alien-hunting guns sported by Will Smith in Men in Black. I'm A UFO Hunter is loosely based around the search for extra-terrestrial life forms, with many of the tracks boasting vocal samples from B-movies and wacky American TV reports about suspected spaceship sightings. Musically, the album flits between stargazing cosmiche vibes (see the rather lovely "What Star Did You Come From"), alien Italo ("The Higgs Boson is Real") and vaguely Balearic curiosities ("UFO Sightings in the Middle East"). It's arguably his best album for some time, and certainly the most interesting.

Review: Marco Dionigi releases more records than we've had hot dinners. Here he is with another virtual mini-album of his Italo/cosmic disco-influenced workouts. "Speed Running" is an ominous 4/4 prowler of a tune with a tense bass line and austere vocal samples. The same song also appears as both an even moodier 'darkwave mix' and a chirpy, discofied 'brazil mix'. Further on we get a cowbell & synths frenzy "Supersonic Monophonic Run" and the heavy breathing marathon that is 'Run'.

Review: It's another meeting of different Italian disco generations as cosmic disco veteran Daniele Baldelli and young(ish) hotshot Marco Dionigi team up for another joint EP. "Cosmic Efficacy" is a linear arpeggiated electro-disco journey to the stars, complete with electro-housey drum fills. In its "Slow Motion Remix" guise the tune is even spacier and highlights it's Moroder-isms even more. "Parallelo" on the other hand is much more abstract, with retro films samples woven over a coarse, electronic backdrop that resembles distorted cosmic interference. Far out!

Review: Having spent most of the last few years releasing a new album every few weeks, Marco Dionigi seems to have calmed down a little of late. This is his first digital-only full-length for a good few months, and arguably one of his strongest to date. Musically, it's similar to previous outings, offering a heady, intoxicating blend of disco-centric jack tracks ("Drumphobia", "The Big One", "Transfer Agent"), contemporary cosmic disco ("Infected Mushroom", "Eternal Flame"), psychedelic slow jams ("Snake Poison", "Mr Santiago Don't Be Afraid") and saucer-eyed reworks of much-loved cosmic disco anthems ("Nostalgy 80"). If you're a fan, you'll love it.

Review: Cosmic hero Marco Dionigi must have found something out in space that has increased his creativity to that beyond us mere mortals. He's been knocking out up to two hefty EPs per month (and that's not even including his long players!), and shows no signs of stopping. And if it's working, then why not? Here we have yet more quality productions - "Base Terra" touches on bouncey but moody electro-disco, "Water Drops" toys with operatic/Gregorian vocals, "Mission For The Nature" is dreamy downtempo stuff, "Another Day On Planet Earth" is pulsating peak timer (for Dionigi anyway) and "Strong Strategy", with its suspended chiming melodies, is probably our favourite.
