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.
