Disco Mystic: Select Remixes Volume 1Naya Beat
Buoyed by the success of the Dimitri From Paris remixes of 'Space Talk', Naya Beat has decided to offer up more new reworks of classic cuts from the disco-era catalogue of Indian singer and actress Asha Puthli. Naturally Space Talk gets another tweak - Maurice Fulton delivers a sparse, percussive, dubbed-out take in his inimitable style -but there are plenty of revisions of lesser-celebrated cuts to enjoy. Yuksek turns 'I Am Song (Sing Me)' into a hybrid storming soul/surging Moroder-disco workout; Kraak & Smaak go all deep disco on the dreamy 'Lies'; Turbitto & Ragz add a touch of delay to the Indian disco-goes-Salsoul flex of 'One Night Affair'; 'Right Down Here' is turned into a spaced-out cosmic disco number by Psychemagik; and Jitwam adds a touch of 21st century weight to suspenseful disco gem 'I'm Gonna Dance'.

Blackbird ReturnsThe Drop
A decade on from the release of 'Blackbird', the third studio album by beloved New Zealand combo Fat Freddy's Drop, the album returns in freshly remixed form. It's a naturally celebratory affair that touches on most of their stylistic influences and more, from reggae/soul/hip-hop fusion (the fine Kings rub of 'Blackbird', Christophe El Torento and Lucky Lance reworking 'Clean The House'), sub-heavy house warmth (Nightmares on Wax's club-ready take on 'Russia'), dub disco (Kiwi deep house star Philippa tweaking 'Bones'), soaring house-not-house (Jazzanova's emotion-rich interpretation of 'Soldier'), digi-dub (Marcus Worgull's version of 'Blackbird'), wobbly jump-up D&B (Freestykes and Dub Pistols re-imagining 'Bones') and bowel-bothering bass music (Syrup D's fantastic mix of 'Silver & Gold').

In The Garden Of MindfulnessClaremont 56
With a title like 'In The Garden Of Mindfulness' this was never going to be a peaktime floor-burner, was it? And indeed, disco veteran Mudd's latest offering for Claremont 56 finds him in a downtempo, introspective frame of mind - stylistically, its closest relatives can perhaps be found in the jazz-fusion and 'quiet storm' soul of the late 70s and early 80s, with a ponderous backbeat and slo-mo b-line topped with meandering jazz-funk guitars, some nice squelchy Moog action and soaring synth-strings. Definitely one for poolside lounging or for melting into the sofa, while the accompanying 'Katanaboy', being a tad more uptempo, is more likely to see those hips starting to shake.

VistaCrosstown Rebels
Following a series of increasingly impressive singles and EPs, Crosstown Rebels regular Tibi Dabo has delivered his hotly anticipated debut album, Vista. Building on the emotive and uplifting feel of recent single 'Overture' - which rounds off the set in fine style - the Barcelona-based producer confidently strides between rolling, synth-powered nu-disco/deep house fusion ('Water Is'), surging and organ-rich techno ('Triple Frontier'), breakbeat-sporting, IDM-influenced electronica ('Diamond Baby'), locked-in early morning hypnotism ('Useless Ideas'), spaced-out tech-house ('Mundo') and acid-flecked, mind-mangling peak-time sleaze (the rubbery, sub-heavy 'Mangabeira Manifesto').

Rainchecks In MontrealRumors
Roy Rosenfeld's remix of "Rainchecks In Montreal" for Guy Gerber and his Rumors label is a captivating fusion of harmonies, melodies, and grooves that seamlessly delivers a pure and emotive feeling for the dancefloor. The result is a beautifully laid out melodic techno remix that captures the heart of the original while refining it to perfection - which doesn't mean sleeping on the instrumental love-ballad of the original either. Hup Hup.

Zen '23(Emotional) Especial
The always adventurous Especial label is back on its world travels once more for another cultured EP, this time from Jonne Lyden aka 53X. This is a widescreen bass exploration with trance-tinged steppas looking firmly to the future from the Finnish-born artist. He has a background in punk bands but a trip to Berlin turned his ear and now he makes experimental fusions that draw on everything from industrial to Berghain to Detroit for inspiration. His tunes are mostly started out as live jams and then edited into what we have here - club-ready sounds, rich atmospherics, acid, breaks and hypnotic rhythms.
