Turned On - (5:23) 99 BPM
Jam On Sun - (6:02) 110 BPM Hot
At The Park - (6:07) 119 BPM
My Life - (5:00) 103 BPM
Review: With the possible exception of slo-mo sensation LTJ, Belabouche is Italy's finest scalpel specialist. He usually digs deep for source material, and the resultant reworks are both reverential (largely steering clear of over-quantized drums and filter tricks) and dancefloor-friendly. This third EP of edits for FKR is full of tasty morsels, from the freshly baked party grooves of cheery funk shuffler "Jam On Sun" and the sensual '80s soul loveliness of "My Life", to the soaring, string-laden peaktime disco of "At The Park". Best of all, though, is opener "Turned On", a mid-tempo chunk of horn tootin' disco that shuffles, throbs and climaxes in all the right places.

Supa Funky Edits EP
Belabouche - "Loud Funk" - (6:29) 112 BPM Hot
KS French - "Do It Like" - (7:56) 110 BPM
Review: Respectively Italy and France's most prolific editors, Belabouche and KS French, return to FKR with a quartet of super-tight disco jams. Belabouche aims straight for the top with two stone-cold takes on James Brown ("Loud Funky") and Sly & The Family Stone ("Let Me"). Elsewhere Monsieur French Kiss tightens his funk belt with the slippery licks of "Supa Funky" before dropping into horn heaven and harmony heaven a la People's Choice with "Do It Like". Super funky indeed.

Super Groove V4
Make Me - (7:22) 108 BPM
Love Run Away - (6:55) 108 BPM
Bad Soul - (5:19) 115 BPM
Review: Mysterious Parisian disco-house maestro KS French, has rustled us up three more slices of what he does best as part of his ongoing Super Groove series. "The Fuzz" kicks things off with some beguiling, guitar echoes, elastic basslines, and a sleazy, hissy thump, "Make Me" does its own thing and goes slow, opting instead for dreamy, filtered Balearica-meets soul and lastly "We On It" closes the show with some classy 70s hotel bar-style grooves.

Groove Unlimited EP
Groove Unlimited - (7:42) 118 BPM
Wanna Get Down - (6:29) 119 BPM Hot
Review: After listening to the Groove Unlimited EP, you could be forgiven for thinking it was late 90s Paris all over again. That's no bad thing as the French touch scene was pretty damn hot. Here Soultronic deliver two cuts - the title track and "Wanna Get Down", both of which capture that heavily looped and filtered tingly retro disco house vibe perfectly. Good old KS French also steps in with a slightly punchier version of the latter too. What's not to love?

Coming To You Live - (7:28) 108 BPM
Get Up An' Dance - (8:41) 115 BPM Hot
Review: Italian edit stallion Belabouche is back and he's brandishing possibly his most funky work yet. "Give It Up" starts things in a celebratory mood with tough kicks connecting with bass twangs and all sewn together nicely with smooth diva vocals, "Disco Strut" is sassier and slower too - just a laid back disco-rock jam, "Coming To You Live" features layers of percussion that form a muscular chassis of a particularly cool vintage disco motor. Finally it's all about some serious space boogie on the dancefloor seducer "Get Up An' Dance".

Super Groove 3
Deep Motion - (6:02) 120 BPM
See My Baby - (5:14) 112 BPM Hot
Review: The scarily prolific KS French - France's most productive maker of house-friendly disco re-edits - returns with the third instalment of his ongoing Super Groove series. As usual, there's plenty to tickle the fancy of those looking for tried-and-tested, club-friendly interpretations of classic and little-known cuts. "B Rappin" does an impressive job of tweaking Blondie's "Rapture" - working the groove hard and abandoning most of the vocals - while the standout "See My Baby" offers an addictive interpretation of a familiar, low-slung disco-funk groover. Elsewhere, check the celebratory horns, hustling groove and thrilling vocals of "My Music". While KS French has added his usual metronomic house beats, it's deftly done.

Soul On Fire EP
I Want You - (6:47) 115 BPM Hot
Soul On Fire - (6:44) 116 BPM
I Learned The Hard Way - (6:54) 118 BPM
Review: Germany's Soultronic has always delivered unique, smooth-but-raw productions and the Soul On Fire EP is no different. Over three expertly tweaked edits we get the '80s digi-soul referencing dream-beat of "I Want You", the French touch thump of the joyous "Soul On Fire" and the disco mayhem of "I Learned The Hard Way".

Tuerie II - (6:34) 117 BPM
Touch Me - (6:41) 118 BPM Hot
New York Disco - (6:09) 119 BPM
Review: KS French either has a ridiculously large archive of edits, or he works unfeasibly fast. Either way, the Paris-based producer has put out a staggering amount of music this year; unbelievably, Super Groove V2 is his 31st EP of 2014. Happily, his knack for creating floor-friendly edits has not deserted him. The expansive, bass-heavy Curtis Mayfield rub "Tuerie II" is particularly potent, while there's a sweaty, low-slung sensuality to the head-nodding grooves and electric vocals of "Hot Night Tool". Best of all, though, is "Touch Me", a filter-heavy disco-house rework of Space classic "Carry On, Turn Me On". It's subtly done, but sounds like a guaranteed floor-filler.

Champagne Love - (6:48) 115 BPM
Review: Some things in life are constant: the sky being blue, gravity pulling things down and almost weekly releases from Paris based re-editor, KS French. This latest instalment sees French exploring retro funk vibe instead of the disco house he's usually known for. Of the four tunes here, the lean and muscular "Do The Wrong Side", the soft & gentle wispy disco of "Over You" and the gritty funk thumper of "Turn It Loose" get our vote!

Think Over - (5:18) 122 BPM
Review: Prolific, filter-loving disco re-editor KS French returns to action with another quintet of floor-friendly revisions. The experienced Parisian impresses with opener "All My Life", a sumptuous, string-laden anthem with just the right amount of contemporary production trickery. There's more spine-tingling fare in the shape of the soulful shuffler "Do For Love", while "Supernatural" turns a disco-funk smasher into a smooth head-nodder. A Motown staple goes under the knife on the sinewy "Take Me Back", while "Think Over" is the kind of grandiose, uplifting disco fare that makes 30-something men want to whip off their shirts and pretend they're dancing in the Paradise Garage.

Review: KS French spreads the love for his latest French Kiss release - gathering an all-star cast of re-edit dons to share the load over these six tracks. Never just content with straightforward editing, French Kiss releases always add extra production techniques to the loops, creating something fresh in the process. Highlights here include KS French's own "Money We Make It" which cleverly incorporates a Marvin Gaye vocal into a deep funk shuffle, the loopy, phased guitar heaven of P Sol's "Feel Me Baby" and the tough, stomping warped disco house of "Another Wish" by DJ Moar. C'est bon!
