Alfresco Disco
Played by: Juno Recommends Disco
Review: Known for releases on such respected imprints as Edible, Cajual, dirtybird and Southern Fried, Bristol lad Lord Leopard comes to local label Alfresco Disco with a stylistically varied four-tracker here. 'YA!' sits somewhere between classic funk and disco-house, with a hint of big beat thrown in for good measure. Much the same could be said of 'My Seven Inches', although the 70s influence is the stronger here, while 'Dawn Break' takes us into rave-y territory as Peech Boys classic 'Don't Make Me Wait' gets a hefty breakbeat injection. The EP's then closed out by the electro-house-boogie fusion of 'Cresta Run'.

Review: Sweet sweet filter disco just like it's Paris circa 1992 sees J Morrison take you there first in this latest Maximum Joy mini-compilation from Alfresco Disco! Next to that you'll find the tunnelling, arpeggio driven bleep driven techno and electro from Manami while Kemback sends in some lounge time vibes with the cascading jazzy house of "Le Theatre De La Mer". Or if staccato beats and cutting drums is your vibe, cue up the chugging thuds and progressive basslines of Lrusse's "Maxi". Chop chop!

Review: Two years on from the release of his last EP, a brilliant collection of musically-rich deep house jams on Needwant, Bristol-based Geoff Wright AKA Kemback returns to action via a first appearance on local label Alfresco Disco. The headline attraction is undoubtedly "Everything", a soothing and seductive deep house workout rich in emotive strings, jazzy instrumentation, heart-stirring chords and bluesy samples. Demi Riquismo's remix cannily wraps those superb strings around a pulsating, Italo-disco influenced house groove, while fellow Bristol resident Admin re-imagines "Everything" as a dusty, bass-heavy chunk of jazz-house deepness. Elsewhere, "Miles" is an ultra-deep slab of jazz-house warmth, while "Mystery" is the EP's sweatiest and most beefed-up number.

Review: Bristol crew Alfresco Disco has rightly won awards for their parties, but praise for their offshoot label has not been quite as forthcoming. Perhaps this outing from Mang Dynasty - AKA old pals Raj 'Ray Mang' Gupta and Bill Brewster - will flip the script, because it's easily the best thing the label has released to date. Based around short, horn heavy disco-funk loops, stacked percussion hits, blissful piano flourishes and suitably psychedelic acid lines, "Crash The Box" is little less than superb. The headline remix comes courtesy of Alfresco Disco's own Lord Leopard, who brilliantly re-casts it as a chunky house stomper full of elastic bass and wayward vocal samples, while Tee Mango offers up a hybrid Italo-disco/disco-house take rich in live instrumentation.

Review: Bristol's Alfresco Disco crew bring us this four-track EP from Warmer Still - presumably either a newcomer or a recluse, as he/she/they seem absent from social media. 'Warmer Still' itself is a classy, midtempo disco-houser served with a piquant jazz topping. 'The Golden Hour' is a pacier cut that deserves to heard in the First Class lounge, cocktail in hand, as you await your flight to some exotic destination, while 'If & When' is a full-on lounge affair for relaxing on the beach when you get there. Completing the EP is 'No Bones In Hand', which is similar in feel to 'The Golden Hour' but operates at a more sedate tempo.

Review: Bristol party-starters Alfresco Disco don't release much, but what they do put out is usually rather tasty. That's certainly the case with the First Forest EP, the debut release from West Country producer Seka. In keeping with the vibe of Alfresco Disco's legendary parties, there's a feel-good feeling throughout. "First Forest" cannily joins the dots between loopy disco house and sparkling deep house, while "Photo Fish" layers woozy, Balearic synthesizer refrains over a bumping groove. The starburst synths and swirling chords return on "Mahalangur", before Tiago delivers a thrillingly eccentric rework of "Photo Fish" full of lilting Balearic melodies, sweaty Latin percussion hits, and wobbly analogue bass.

Review: Following the royal success that was Maximum Joy, Alfresco is back with another release. 2015 marks ten years of Alfresco Disco parties. The label is still only young, however, but the crew bring their party planning, DJing and producing experience into the label. The Maximum Joy pt. 2 presents four good friends of the Alfresco Crew, both old and new, who each bring something different to the e.p whilst still maintaining the free spirited Alfresco Vibe. Thermal Bear brings in a straight up classic deep house beat with "Round and Round". Outrageously warm chunky production and one to keep the crowd moving in the wee hours. Kemback's effort shuffles effortlessly into the mind, taking you on a dreamy trip to somewhere wonderful. A strong nod to Floating Points here with it's heavy swing, gritty drums, and Kemback makes subtle but powerful use of his fine musicianship. James Fox brings the good time disco-house vibe with the sample-heavy "Feeling Free". The wonderful arrangement and vocal make this a pure summer record that's been getting great crowd reactions, while CornishcConnection and newcomer Kieran Holden slows it down and makes it nice and trippy with the magnificent "Wild Palms".
