Space Talk (Dimitri From Paris remix) - (7:19) 102 BPM Hot
Space Talk - (5:27) 100 BPM
Space Talk (Dimitri From Paris Spacer dub) - (6:37) 102 BPM
Space Talk (extended mix) - (6:42) 98 BPM
Review: Four new mixes here of a track from 1976 that'll be familiar to most disco connoisseurs: a firm favourite at David Mancuso's The Loft, it's featured on countless bootlegs over the years (including the 'Loft Classics' 12-inch series in the 90s) as well as Tom Middleton's 'The Trip' compilation. The Extended and 2023 mixes delivered here stick pretty faithfully to the space-y, sensual groove of the original, leaving it up to everyone's favourite moustachioed Parisian to get busy with the echo box and other FX on his Remix before stripping things right back on his Spacer Dub. A must, whichever rub you plump for.

Review: They've yet to make as much of an impact in the northern hemisphere but Melbourne-based outfit Mildlife are big news Down Under - their last (second) album 'Automatic' went Top 10 nationally in 2020, and won the ARIA award for Best Jazz Album to boot. Now they're back with long player #3, 'Closer', and it showcases a sound that's hard to pin down, with the album as a whole fusing elements of jazz-funk/jazz-fusion, Balearica, cosmic disco, psychedelic pop and modern indie, and even straying close to ambient territory on the title track. With the tempo seldom rising above walking pace ('Musica' being the only exception), there are no obvious dancefloor moments here - instead, it's an album that's best served whole, when in a mellower frame of mind...

Review: It's been slowly drip-fed to us over a 10-month period but now here at last is the full album. On 'Something Like That', Jalapeno bosses Skeewiff celebrate 25 years in the game by paying tribute to some of the music that's inspired them, delivering generally very faithful but also very accomplished reworks of classic tracks by artists ranging from The Winstons and Jimmy Smith to Dick Dale and Herb Alpert. New additions to the roster on this final version include Nancy Sinatra's 'These Boots Are Made For Walking', Muppets 'Mah Na Mah Na', Mel Tormé's Mod club standard 'Coming Home Baby' and, just to prove they're not taking themselves TOO seriously, Boots Randolph's 'Yakety Sax' - better known to most as the 'Benny Hill' theme.

Review: 62 collections deep and still blazing up any party in a 1000 mile radius; Katakana deliver yet another fun and funk-fuelled package. All laced with a heavy rhythmic theme, attention to groove detail is paid throughout as we're treated to range of classic and deeply dug edits. "Galaxy" sets the tone with a sleazy strutting war cry before we're hurled into a Latin frenzy on both the sultry "Camina" and the bull-fighting "Descarga". Elsewhere "Leroy Loves Ya" brings the soulful touch and "JB World" closes with a little psychedelic mystique.

Get On Ya Feet (original mix) - (3:36) 120 BPM
Waiting For You (original mix) - (3:07) 113 BPM
Get On Ya Feet (Disco edit) - (4:12) 60 BPM Hot
Review: Germany's prolific Jayl Funk returns to Italy's Sound Exhibitions. "Get On Ya Feet" is served up in two mixes: the Original Mix will appeal to fans of "new old" funk and soul acts like the Dap Kings, Speedometer or Lack Of Afro, though there's a distinct house-y feel to the pianos too, while the Disco Edit beefs up the kicks and brings the piano and strings further to the fore, making it the better bet for dancefloor play in livelier spots. Completing the package is "Waiting For You", which has more of an R&B/pop feel thanks to its counterpointed sing-song female and rapped male vocals, but which is irresistibly catchy all the same.

Review: The mysterious Funk Windows return to Sound Exhibitions with a new four-track slab that, as the EP title suggests, looks to the African funk scene for inspiration. The Afro influences are furthest to the fore on the EP's two vocal cuts, the lively, rolling opener 'Ouma Koume' and the more ponderous 'Minimal Day', while bass, guitar and horns workout 'Funky Times' and the sparse, looping 'Mr Funk' (which comes on a bit like The Last Poets minus the rapping) are perhaps a little more universal in their funk MO, but it's all good, as they say - with 'Funky Times' leading the charge to these ears.

Review: If funk and jazz are your thing, don't sleep on this latest missive from Italy's Lego Edit stable, which packs six reworks of vintage cuts both highly familiar and somewhat less so, We start out with the instantly recognisable groove of Kool & The Gang's 'Jungle Boogie', now reinvented as 'Jazz-Ungle', while elsewhere you'll find fresh takes on the Dave Brubeck Quartet's jazz classic 'Take Five' (1959) and Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson's 'It's Your World' (1976). The sources for the other three will have to go sadly unindentified (though those piano licks on 'Jazzy Touch' are annoyingly familiar) but rest assured, this is classy stuff all round.

Don't Stop - (5:42) 122 BPM
Don't Stop (Reprise) - (2:07) 81 BPM
Review: More from Faze Action member Robin Lee's offshoot Andromeda Orchestra project, whose throbbing and forthright releases have previously joined the dots between revivalist disco and the synthesizer-driven world of Italo-disco. In its original form (track three), "Don't Stop" is an authentically produced riff on the K.I.D track of the same name rich in swooping, razor-sharp strings, Clavinet-happy disco grooves and glassy-eyed female vocals. It comes accompanied by a stellar peak-time remix from Lee's old pal Ray Mang - all layered drum fills, swirling noises and jangling piano riffs - and a spacey, beat-free ambient "Reprise". Bonus cut "Kano Line Dance", a funky mid-tempo shuffler that joins the dots between boogie, jazz-funk and P-funk, is also rather tasty.

Review: The artist formally known as Joey Negro aka Dave Lee brings together a fresh and unique compilation with partner in sound Will Fox that dives deep into the west end sound of London's broken beat, soul and two-step scene. Featuring tracks from the likes of Bugz In The Attic, Jazzanova and Atjazz to 4 Hero and Sunburst Band, we've pulled up numbers like NSM's deep, woozy and downtempo "DJ Power (Use It)" to Jazztronik's piano-laden and garaged influenced "Samurai". Sweet, warm and deeply vocal still is Afronaut & Melissa Browne's "Transcend M.E." with a stripped back, breathy and stepping number from Mark de Clive-Lowe, with Likwid Biskit's closing track "The All New Ummm" surfing into some balmy, LA beat-scene territory.

On Fire - (6:20) 117 BPM
Review: The honour of curating the 44th instalment of Katakana's Edits series has fallen on Disco Funk Spinner, a much respected re-edit guy whose work has appeared on the likes of Midnight Riot, Disco Fruit and Sound Exhibitions. Here though he only manages to provide two jams, but it's quality, not quantity, right? First up we get "Night Strangers" which takes loops from Candi Staton's Bee Gees cover (Nights On Broadway) and adds an accelerated disco house tempo and subtle but funky embellishments. On the digital flip is "On Fire", a clever rework of Peggy Lee's indestructible classic, Fever. Hot stuff!

Review: El Paso has become quite the Katakana regular of late, having helmed vols 115, 116, 122 and 129, and now he returns for a fifth instalment with four funk reworks in tow. 'Ms Fine Brown' revisits Syl Johnson's 'Ms Fine Brown Fame' from 1976, while James Brown's much-sampled 1973 classic 'The Payback' becomes 'Revenge'. The sources for 'Baila' and 'Tutu' - both featuring Spanish-language vocals - will sadly have to go unidentified, but the former has a Nu Yorican, boogaloo/barrio funk kinda vibe about it while the lower-tempo 'Tutu' is much more tropical and lounge-y in feel.

Review: Some unabashedly old skool disco fun and frolics on this five-tracker from Italy's Ministry Of Funk, and his publicity-shy oppo Disco Incorporated. A lively re-edit of MJ's 'Don't Stop Till You Get Enough' kicks the EP off in party-hearty style; after that, 'Golden Melody' brings very familiar sweeping, soaring strings, 'Back Into Time' will please New Yorkers whether they were born there or are just on an odyssey (hint hint!) while 'High Steppin' and 'Soul Woman' revisit dancefloor staples from Love Unlimited, with the latter throwing in a well-known snatch of Peech Boys vocal for good measure.

Review: 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'.

Review: Melbourne, Australia-based DJ/producer Ken Walker - the possessor of perhaps THE best artist moniker in the game - follows up last summer's debut full-length 'Discopolis' with a second volume that's every bit as essential. Rocking an overall vibe somewhere between contemporary (rather than 'nu') disco and disco-house, the album opens with 'What In The World', which nods to The Police's 'When The World Is Running Down', and closes with 'Saxophonica', which marries the risque spoken vocal from Jimmy Z feat Dr Dre's 'Funky Flute' (which also appears on 'Blow It') to the sax line from Men At Work's 80s hit 'Who Can It Be Now?'. It's fair to say our Ken isn't averse to dropping the odd familiar sample, then: in fact, the 15 cuts here blur the lines between sampling and re-editing. But trust us, the dancefloor's going to be far too busy dancing to worry about that.

Featuring tracks and mixes from the likes of The Allergies, The Nextmen, Ugly Duckling, Alice Russell, Lack Of Afro and Sam Krats, the emphasis here is on the kind of dusty funk/soul grooves that sit well alongside hip-hop and breaks - as opposed to the stack-heeled, silver-jumpsuited kind that goes better with disco - with standouts for this writer including Sly5thAve's moody, cinematic 'Shiznit' (think Shaft staring broodily out of a rain-streaked diner window) and Skill's 'Break It Down', a stuttery, stop-start gift for the jazz-dancers.

Review: The Bristolian duo of DJ Moneyshot and Rackabeat return with a four-track EP on their regular home of Jalapeno Records. 'Keep It Moving' itself is up first, placing a full rap vocal atop a single, looping soul sample, making it arguably one more for the hip-hoppers than the funkateers. But more organic funk pleasures can be found on the rambunctious, party-starting 'When The Heat Comes Down' and Smoove's Acid Jazz-leaning remix of 'Run It Back', both of which feature The Allergies' trademark fast flow in full effect, while female-vocalled closer 'Entitled To That' sees a change in pace and will satisfy those in search of some raw soul grooves.

Review: Mr Doris is an eclectic soul, as happy laying down jazz sets as he is working with reggae giant Sizzla or spinning house and disco for Defected in Ibiza. Here he teams up once more like-minded Sydney-based Brit D-Funk on a hip-hop-infused jam featuring Cantaloop that's served up in a choice of three mixes, with Krafty Kuts bringing the funk-breaks vibes, Thatmanmonkz dragging the track onto broader-minded house floors and George Solar giving it a dubbier makeover. Completing the package is the light-hearted 'Back In The Day', with West London rapper MysDiggi name-checking Thundercats, Bananaman, The A-Team, Grange Hill, SuperTed and Byker Grove.

Review: Jalapeno bring us their latest V/A collection rounding up the cream of the label's recent releases. The line-up features all the usual suspects (The Allergies, Ivo FitzRoy, Flevans, Smoove & Turrell and label bosses Skeewiff) as well as a handful of newer names, and if you're a fan of the label's trademark blend of funk, soul, breaks and hip-hop - with the emphasis this time out firmly on the soul side - then it's hard to see how you'd end up dissatisfied here. Standouts for yours truly include Wolfgang Valbrun's 'Cyclone', with its big, cavernous production redolent of 60s/northern soul, and Mr Doris & D-Funk's rapped homage to UK childhood 'Back In The Day', but you'll doubtless find your own favourites...

Review: Izo Fitzroy is a relatively new finding for us, and it's thanks to the Jalapeno imprint, out of Brighton, that our charts have been graced by such a feel-good flex. In fact, "Say Something" is a perfect example of Fitzroy's talents; through a mixture of funky blues and house-minded grooves, this is a powerful bit of blue-eyed soul that sits on the edges of the underground and the mainstream. For this EP, she has also invited a crew of remixers - Smoove touches down with a lovely boogie version, Animist's take is purely on the house tip, Twogood?s remix is a successful blend of both of those, and we have the Smoove dub version to provide the deeper, more heartical frequencies. Yessah!

Review: The Cuttin' It Fine crew have pulled together once again to deliver a bag of dancefloor ready riddims under the 'Funk Butter' compilation title, what more could we ask for? We begin with the emotive vocal sampling and big room keys of Frankee More's Re-Funk remix of 'I Like It' from Debarge, which sets high levels from the jump. From here, Mr Fitz delivers a horn-driven funk out on 'Sharons Land', topped with a powerful vocal display before the shuffling drum rhythms and disco-like string backing of 'Sunshine Love' from Pecoe does the business once again. Finally, Roast Beatz gets to work on rebuilding a classic Sister Sledge vocal set into a modern, groove-ridden breaks anthem. Lovely work from all involved!

Review: Mixes to suit a wide range of tastes on this latest offering from Greece's Timewarp Music. 'Good Love' is a summery slice of Afro-flavoured pop in its Original form, before Omegaman gives it a reggae-fied makeover. Tom Drummond's remix then adds a funkier edge, while Jayl Funk's heavier pass is more one for the funk-breaks crowd, though the dubwise bassline means this mix, too, could find its way into reggae-driven sets. The most dramatic rework, though, comes from Australia's Mind Electric, who ups the tempo by several notches, adds pianos and transforms it into a Saturday night house stomper.

Review: Edinburgh-based Athens Of The North are best known for wonky leftfield house and disco/soul, but they've never been afraid to throw the odd curveball. One such came in the form of 2020's 'For The Love Of You', a compilation of lover's rock covers of funk, soul and disco classics, and now here comes a second installment, which packs reggae-fied takes on much-loved gems from the likes of Dennis Edwards, Randy Crawford, Bill Withers, William DeVaughn, The Mary Jane Girls and, perhaps more surprisingly, Simply Red. Covers collections have of course long been a staple of the reggae scene, but they can often be a bit hit-and-miss - thankfully this one features a lot more hits than misses!

Review: Canopy's latest release, "Funky Man Dey Sleep" (CNPY006), marks an exciting collaboration between the label and the multi-talented Spanish producer Kiko Navarro, joined by the formidable vocal prowess of Kaleta and the musical virtuosity of The Ibibio Horns. Kiko Navarro, drawing from his vast musical repertoire, skillfully crafts an Afro-infused groove that pays homage to the funk, disco, and afrobeat sounds that once set Nigerian and West African dancefloors ablaze in the late 1970s. "Funky Man Dey Sleep" serves as a spirited tribute to these influential genres, reinvigorating them with a modern twist. Kiko Navarro dons his KOKI persona, unleashing an energetic transformation that propels the listener into a high-octane sonic journey. Here, live bass and horns take a backseat as an insistent and pulsating acid-inspired bassline takes center stage. This switch-up ushers in a chunkier, house-oriented vision that showcases Kiko Navarro's versatility and innovative approach to music production.

Review: Ten Fingerz comes to Igor Gonya's Lisztomania with two new slices of typically classy, classic-style house music. 'Club Beautiful' rides rolling drums and an understated but funky bassline with soaring synth sweeps and a spoken vocal, while Basile De Suresnes supplies a remix that tones down the synths and lets the bass and drums do more of the lifting, while adding a plinky-plonk keys riff of his own. 'Funkey', meanwhile, is a proper little funk-fuelled hip-wiggler that'll work on house and disco floors alike, while the label boss gives it a little more oomph in the drums department and adds some quirky keyboard flourishes.

Review: Los Angeles-based Orgone formed back in the 90s and this, if we're counting correctly, is their 15th album - which means existing fans will have a good idea what to expect already. For those yet to have the pleasure, Orgone draw heavily on the funk, soul, and jazz-funk of the 60s and 70s for inspiration, often stirring Afrobeat influences into the mix and always presenting it all in a thoroughly now-sounding kinda way - and that's exactly the musical cocktail served up on 'Chimera'. The Afro influences are heard most clearly on 'Zum Zum' and 'Tula Muisi', both of which star Congolese vocalist Mermans Mosengo, who's just one of four featured singers - though to these ears it's the cinematic, instrumental funk workouts ('Basilisk', 'Parasols', 'Hallowed Dreams') that hit hardest.
