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!

Review: There are re-edits and there are re-edits, aren't there? There's the type where Producer X lifts an old disco track or pop hit almost in its entirety and shoves a 4/4 kick underneath, and then there's the type where one tiny microsnip of some unidentified dusty gem gets looped up within an inch of its life. Here, KNT Edits brings us an EP packing six of the latter kind: these simple looping, string-drenched disco grooves might leave mass market crowds cold, but they'll keep dedicated disco floors moving in a way that yet another remake of 'Love Sensation' or 'Let's Dance' never would!

Review: You might think we've all heard enough of Marlene Shaw's 'Woman Of The Ghetto' vocal enough by now. "Pas du tout!" cries M. Raw, as he brings us 'Geto Borns', a midpaced slice of retro funk/soul that loops up the "I was born and raised in the ghetto" line (and various other snippets) in surprisingly effective fashion - perhaps because there's no geng-gegga-genging here. The accompanying 'Comme Ci Comme Ca', meanwhile, bites The Pointer Sisters' low-slung 1975 groover 'How Long (Betcha Got A Chick On The Side)' and that bass-and-keys riff sounds as gloriously raunchy as it ever did!

Review: The fact that two of the tracks are called 'The Piano Loop' and 'Outro: Jazz Loops' should in itself give you some idea of what to expect here, as FRK maison du groove boss main man KS French (AKA Mr Given Raw) serves up six dusty, loop-based jams for your disco, funk and Balearic sets. Not even gonna try and identify the original tracks that all of these were based on - suffice to say the sources range from jazz to boogie, and that M. French's ability tease a five-minute dancefloor groove out of the sparsest ingredients is admirable.

Review: Given his insane productivity, we wouldn't ne surprised if KS French was chained to his computer day and night, whizzing through another batch of re-edits on Ableton Live while planning world domination. While the reality is probably a little less glamorous, he's produced another strong collection of reworks here. Opener "Love Vibration" delivers a lightly beefed-up, filter-sporting revision of a mid-tempo, string-laden disco classic, while "My World About You Bae" applies similar sonic trickery to a glassy-eyed chunk of disco-soul bliss. Elsewhere, "Back For" is a lolloping, head-nodding and toe-tapping take on another familiar favourite, while "Baggi" is a heavily filtered take on what sounds like a sun-kissed Italian disco gem. If you're after mind-altering loops and head-nodding dancefloor pressure, closing cut "Soul Cry" should be essential listening.

Review: The wonderful FKR come through with the second instalment of Mr Given Raw's Digger Raw Edits and as per usual, the label have found a new talent to add to their impressive and ever-growing catalogue of disco-filtered deep house. Break, breaks and more breaks from "Fakin The Funk" to "You Sexy Thing", followed by a swift succession of funk-fuelled basslines and twisted strings to get your Saturday night antics on the go. "Funk Your Body" is particularly groovy, a 4/4 beat glides majestically below James Brown vocals and one hell of a guitar riff. Party monsters.

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".

Midnight Rendez Vous EPEXCLUSIVE
Review: Perhaps wisely, KS French is using his FKR imprint to offer opportunities to previously unheard producers. Here, it's the turn of Smooth Tempo. Like much of the label's output, the three tracks here blur the boundaries between sample-heavy disco-house, original nu-disco, and straight up re-edits. In the latter category you'll find "Dance Dance Floor", a formidably dubbed-out, looped-up tweak of Zapp's P-funk classic "Dancefloor" full of trippy effects, liquid synth bass, head-nodding house percussion and Roger Troutman's iconic talkbox vocals. There's a similarly trippy, spaced-out feel to the excellent "Get A Little", too. Best of all, though, is opener "Midnight Rendez-Vous", which turns a curious disco jam into a bubbling, synth-laden dub disco epic.

4 Cuts EPEXCLUSIVE
Review: Despite its' matter-of-fact title, the Four Cuts EP is something of a departure for FKR Recordings. It's an all-star affair, designed to showcase the re-edit work of a trio of scalpel-wielding party starters. Mr Given Raw kicks things off with the impassioned, low-slung gospel funk of "Get Up On Girls", before label boss KS French sets aside his filters and house beats in favour of some swinging, bumpin' disco-funk goodness on the rather good "Kiss My Baby". The package is completed by two reworks from Miami native KNG Edits, who recently made his debut on Rebel Hearts. Choose between the effortlessly sweet, groovy and dewy-eyed "So Right", and the camp disco explosion that is "Shoot (Dancefloor Edit)", easily the EP's strongest moment.

Supa Funky Edits EPEXCLUSIVE

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.

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.

Super Groove V2EXCLUSIVE
Played by: Superbreak, Tonbe, Soultronic, KS French, Groovedown, Louie Vega, Bad Barbie, MR Given Raw, Parisien Editeur, KNG EDITS
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.

Can U Dig It EPEXCLUSIVE
Review: Taking the ghosts of disco's past and dragging them, kicking and screaming, onto modern day funky house dancefloors and plying them with heavy filters and compressed loops is the name of Soultronic's game. Here on the Can You Dig It EP, they play their game efficiently with vintage melodic disco samples haunting the contemporary thump and fizz of sizzling Euro-house gems "You & I" and "Dance & Shake". Meanwhile the title track opts for deep and seductive chill-house. Simply made for summer!

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.

Review: KS French and Mr Given Raw are like two peas in a pod. A disco-shaped pod. Here they join forces again, both providing both solo tracks and a joint collaboration too. Label boss KS French plonks a platform show on the dancefloor first with the tight James Brown-sampling funk of "Still On the Case". Then MGR takes over for two sizzlers - the catchy soul-pop lament "Beggin You" and the psychedelic soul stomp of "Funky Mama". Finally the titans clash on the phased disco-boogie joy of "Never Give You Up". Good times.

Chuggin Edits V1EXCLUSIVE
Played by: KS French, That Needs an Edit/Pete Le Freq, Chuggin Edits, Downunder Disco, MR Given Raw, KNG EDITS
Review: It would be fair to say that Chuggin Edits Volume 1 does exactly what its' title promises. While closer "If There's Love Don't Throw It Away" reaches the dizzy heights of 120 BPM - along the way stretching and dubbing out a swirling, string-drenched chunk of loved-up disco-soul - the EP's other two tracks are slow, smooth, hypnotic and groovy. Choose between the walking bassline, sensual vocals, jazzy solos and head-in-the-clouds vibe of "The Cost Of Love", and "So Glad You're Mine", a toe-tappin', head-noddin', summer soul cool-down full of loose drum breaks, fuzzy horns and razor-sharp strings.

Review: FKR's in-house re-edit crew return with four more reworks of vintage funk and soul nuggets. 'God Soul' is up first, a laidback groove that loops up a couple of lines of vocal from Supreme Jubilee's 1979 soul/gospel cut 'It'll All Be Over'. The original sources of the other three cuts remain a mystery, but the more upbeat and sunny 'Love With You (Part 1)' has a looping scat vocal, and 'Into The Groove' ain't nothin' but a funky shuffle, while completing the EP is 'P.E In Effect' that loops up a jaunty piano riff. Last two tracks in particular are all-instrumental affairs and would work well as warm-up material on funk/soul floors

Soul On Fire EPEXCLUSIVE
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".

Tools For Groovin V2EXCLUSIVE
Review: KNG, the partnership of KS French and Mr Given Raw is back with three new disco edits, and they're summer sizzlers the lot of them. "Got To Get" is a bawdy, swingin' swagger of vintage disco-rock, whilst "Get It On" introduces tougher French house beats and loops to the mix. Lastly "Brown Groove" turns its filters to 11 for a low-slung cocktail house jam. Groovy!

Bela Edits V6EXCLUSIVE
Review: There's always been an authentic feel about Belabouche's re-edits. While the Italian producer does occasionally beef up the bottom end or add the odd bit of additional percussion, his reworks feel like traditional scalpel jobs. That's certainly the case with the material showcased on this sixth volume in his Bela Edits series. It can be heard in the rich, jazzy looseness or the organ and synth-laden, sunshine disco shuffle of "Liquore", the dub-wise Brazilian boogie brightness of "Do Ben", and the elastic bassline, sharp horns and celebratory vocals of "Cause It Feels Good". Arguably best of all, though, is the sax-and-organ heavy Afrobeat shuffle of closer "Afrobeats".
