Ed Wizard & Disco Double Dee - "Shades Of Blue" (Thatmanmonkz remix) - (5:48) 119 BPM
Ed Wizard & Disco Double Dee - "Cantina" - (6:15) 50 BPM
Hotmood - "Chico Shake" - (6:08) 120 BPM Hot
Hotmood - "El Artista" - (7:00) 119 BPM
Review: Mexican funk and disco producer Hot Mood (AKA Guillermo Gonzalez) comes to Canada's Editorial Records on this split EP with label bosses Ed Wizard & Disco Double Dee, with a little remix justice from Thatmanmonkz thrown in. The latter's rub of 'Shades Of Blue', with its Gil Scott-Heron 'H20gate' vocal, would sit just as happily in our deep house section, EW&DDD's 'Cantina' is a fat-assed slab of slo-mo, flute-sprinkled funk (and the pick of the EP for this reviewer), while there's - unsurprisingly - a Latin funk feel to Hotmood's two contributions. Contemporary funk/disco at its least cheesy, and hence most satisfying!

Ed Wizard & Disco Double Dee - "Spirit Power" - (6:09) 112 BPM Hot
Duff Disco - "Burning Hot" - (6:11) 102 BPM
Hotmood - "I Was Born In Mexico" - (6:15) 122 BPM
Alex Zuiev - "I Feel Funky" - (6:29) 115 BPM
Review: More multi-artist action from the effervescent Editorial label, a stable that has consistently delivered some of the strongest re-edits, remixes and reworks of the last few years. The imprint's most storied outfit, Ed Wizard and Disco Double Dee, kick things off with the lolloping, piano-heavy disco positivity of "Spirit Power" - where sampled female speech provides an interesting focal point - while slow disco stalwart Duff Disco delivers the head-nodding, toe-tapping warm-up warmth of "Burning Hot". Elsewhere, Hotmood ups the heat and tempo on the P-funk-fired stomp of "I Was Born in Mexico" and Alex Zuiev lightly beefs up a swirling peak-time disco jam on EP standout "I Feel Funky".

Alex Zuiev - "Get Lifted" - (8:10) 118 BPM
Review: By now, we should all know what to expect from Editorial's multi-artist edit missives, namely refined party-starting fodder that puts the needs of dancefloors first and foremost. That's certainly what Ed Wizard and Disco Double Dee serve up on the bustling, bass-heavy Afro-funk style madness of the first of five "Dope Licks" on the long running label's latest EP. Hotmood's string-powered disco-funk bubbler "Worldwide" also hits the heights thanks to punchy horns and rolling, beefed-up beats, while Levantine's "Right On" is a rolling and relaxed exercise in filter-sporting disco-house grooves. Elsewhere, Melon Bomb's "Sweet Jam" makes merry with rubbery beats, jazzy bass guitar, dubbed-out vocal snippets and clipped funk guitars, while Alex Zuiev's "Get Lifted" offers the perfect balance between Idjuts style dub disco madness and toe-tipping disco-house chunkiness.

Raw Data - (6:45) 112 BPM
I Can Be You - (6:46) 118 BPM
You Can't Play That - (6:20) 115 BPM
Review: Following a superb outing on Whiskey Disco earlier in the year, Guillermo "Hotmood" Gonzalez returns to Editorial with his first EP for the label in almost two years. First up you'll find "Don't Care", a rolling and summery chunk of string-laden disco warmth with added house chops, before Gonzalez brilliantly reworks a hazy (un-credited) disco-funk classic by putting extra emphasis on the track's mazy saxophone solos. More disco sweetness is provided in the form of the head-in-the-clouds dancefloor bliss of "I Can Be You", before the producer doffs a cap to Tiger and Woods on the loopy Latin disco/deep house fusion of closer "You Can't Play That".

Hotmood - "Say What" - (7:34) 119 BPM
Massimo Vanoni - "Feel The Way" - (7:03) 110 BPM Hot

I Gemin - "Disco Fevah" - (5:29) 119 BPM
Andy Buchan - "Get On The Floor" - (6:16) 118 BPM
Review: The latest missive from the Editorial camp is something of a summery treat, with a sextet of producers taking it turns to lay down warm and inviting dancefloor treats, First up is Matt Hughes, whose "Lonestar" joins the dots between eyes-closed deep house and rich, bass-heavy Balearic disco. Hotmood lays down a chunk of horn-heavy, party-hearty disco house, while Massimo Vanoni marinades a sweet, sun-kissed disco cut in several gallons of tasty rum punch. Elsewhere, Sunner Soul works the filters hard on the low-slung disco house shuffler "Good Parts", I Gemin gets all sweaty and loopy on "Disco Fevah", and Andy Buchan does a great job reinventing an 80s synth-pop cut as a saucer-eyed slab of peak-time goodness.

Rhodes Trip
Can You Dig It - (6:33) 116 BPM Hot
Magic Touch - (6:38) 118 BPM
Check This Out Yo! - (6:18) 117 BPM
Soul Energy - (6:42) 115 BPM
Review: We're not sure what Hotmood got up to on his recent Rhodes Trip, but whatever it was, it was good enough to result in his latest EP on the mighty Editorial. Boasting four tracks, the EP features the freshest sounds from nu-disco world capital Mexico. "Can You Dig It" opens with smooth, jazzy and Latin-tinged poolside boogie, "Magic Touch" follows up with some looped saxy -fizz, whilst "Check This Out Yo!" veers into funky/disco house territory and "Soul Energy" wraps things up with a heady Fender-Rhodes-lead groover. Slick stuff.
