Review: While Compost are probably best known and loved for their nu-jazz, bruk beat and leftfield-leaning output, the veteran German stable have always done a neat line in house and disco on the side, and here comes the third volume in a series that collates some of their best releases of recent years. With cuts ranging from Grosso Modo's 'New York Biscuit' with its late 70s Big Apple vibes, to the contemporary jazz-funk of John Gazoo's 'Midnight Runner', to the almost proggy pulsations of Kovi's 'Beginning Of A New End', there's plenty of musical variety on offer, but rest assured the needle on the quality meter never dips.

Review: Germany's Compost label mark 12 years of their Compost Disco sub-label with a nine-track compilation. If you're familiar with the mothership label you're probably not expecting mid-70s mirrorball/cowbell/Philly strings stompery here, which is just as well - instead you get nine tracks that explore disco's more electronic and/or leftfield fringes, from Manuel Tur's electro-tinged 'S6 Hansaring' to the languid Balearic soul of The Blaxploited Orchestra's 'Until The Day', via the early 80s overtones of Dimitri From Paris & DJ Rocca's 'The Compass Point' and the abstract synth workout that is Ron Deacon's 'Killer Song'. The proverbial "disco beards" will be delighted.

Review: There's plenty to set the pulse racing on this first Compost Disco outing from Spanish twosome Velmondo and Priorat. Sometime Chicken Lips vocalist Jonny Spencer makes his presence felt on both of the EP's original tracks, offering poetic and stylish spoken word vocals on opener 'Dragging in the Mud', a sleazy, mid-tempo number that combines charred acid house sonics with breathless, bongo-powered beats and spaced-out electronics, before whispering his way through the gently Italo-tinged, cowbell-powered throb of 'Inside You'. Marc Pional delivers a wonderfully stripped-back, early morning rework of 'Dragging in the Mud' - renamed 'Dragging in the Dub'- while In Flagranti reimagine 'Inside You' as a frankly filthy, acid-laden chunk of electro-disco darkness.

Review: A haven for off-kilter disco acts, this Compost offshoot label now welcomes Genf Pakula (aka Ralph Obermauer and Oliver Brand) to the fold. It's a match made in heaven as this duo deliver five slices of exactly the kind of krautrocky space jams one might expect from the label. Thankfully though, the seriousness of krautrock is deliberately toyed with, so we get Prince-like vocals and smooth pads over the fusion beats of "Through The Night", string laden '70s cop-show-disco on "Lowdown" and tense, low slung fender funk on "Gleaming". More please!

Review: Despite claiming to be a 'smile hunter and emotion cultivator', for his latest EP, Slovenian knob-twiddler Alan Roposa (aka Evol Ai) has gone all mean and moody. That's cool - we prefer the darker side of disco. "Dar K Disco" is a sparse jam with punchy snares, a lean electro-funk bass line and a whole host of ethereal vocals. Sleazy McQueen steps in to further the experiment fusing disco and acid (to great results) and Ilya Santana goes straight for the '70s side of town - with whooshes and big strings. Finally "Te Qi" is a quirky little space funk number.

Ed Lee feat Alison David
Review: Culled from his forthcoming new long player on the ever-reliable Compost, "You Are The Sun" is the brand new single from award-winning cult house DJ/producer Ed Lee. It features the leather-lunged vocals of veteran session singer Alison David, and, with its raw, crackly production and deep soulfulness, evokes classic Larry Levan-era disco. It gets extra hiss courtesy of remixer Moonstarr and gets turned into quirky go-go jazz by Akshin Alizadeh. Bonus cut "Follicle" is a forlorn bluesy lullaby.

Tomasz Guiddo feat Kasar
Review: While hardly a household name, Tomasz Guiddo should be familiar to those who dig the intersection of house and disco. Previously, he's released quality music on Beats in Space and, most recently, Luv Shack. On this Compost Disco outing, he introduces us to "Hide", a fine fusion of drowsy blue-eyed soul vocals, pulsating Italo-disco bottom end, tumbling AOR disco saxophones and gently Balearic flourishes. Daniele Baldelli and DJ Rocca head up the remix package, serving up vocal and instrumental remixes that sit somewhere between acid-fired cosmic disco and early evening Balearica. Elsewhere, the Juan MacLean version is a rolling deep house makeover complete with sweaty drum hits and life-affirming electric piano parts, while Michael Reinboth reinvents the cut as a sparkling chunk of rubbery nu-disco.

Review: Some properly wonked-out disco bizniss from Tomasz Guiddo here - Arthur Russell would be proud! On the Original Mix, the breathy and nonsensical male vocal sits atop a backing that, as crazy as it might sound, is one-part lounge/Balearic froth to one-part red-lit, late 60s Haight-Ashbury funk-rock jam. There's an Instrumental included, as well as a stripped-back, live-sounding rework from Kalabrese and a slightly livelier pass from Pocketknife. The cream of the crop, though, is the Shahrockh Dini Remix, which brings deep house and dub influences and is built to take discerning floors on a small-hours ride into inner space. Outstanding!

Review: Compost Disco is an offshoot of the long-running German house empire, and on this latest release, things get very trippy indeed. Peter Kruder teams up with Hunter, who has previously worked for Hot Creations, to deliver two off beat grooves. "This Is What U Get" moves from a deep fried electronic disco groove into wobbly wobbly stepper replete with stoner samples. Meanwhile, "Addicted To Ganja" is just as unusual. Moving from euphoric synth pop via a new wave bass, it progresses into a tripped out, atmospheric Italo jam from the very far side of that sound, bolstered by Miami Vice-style Linn drums.
