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.

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: While it can be hard keeping up with KS French's packed release schedule, you have to admire the Parisian re-editor's dedication to his craft. Given the sheer volume of material he puts out, we imagine he probably spends much of his time chained to his computer knocking out new filter-heavy reworks to delight his dancefloors and ours. So what's on offer this time round? Opener "Amore Piaccio" is a delightly low-slung, bass-heavy affair: a tidy house style rework of a Latin disco chugger which naturally comes complete with the Frenchman's trademark special effects and energy-building trickery. "Light My Fire" meanwhile sees him add a little subtle house bump to a glassy-eyed late '60s soul cut inspired by the Doors record of the same name.

Bela Edits 2EXCLUSIVE
Played by: Dario Piana, Superbreak, Jay Ru, DJ P-SOL, Soultronic, KS French, Funk Hunk, Funk Fusion, MR Given Raw, KNG EDITS
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".

Review: While he may be one of the most prolific re-editors around, Belabouche rarely fails to deliver the goods - a point emphatically proved by the Italian artist's latest outing on regular home FKR Maison du Groove. He begins by inviting us to "A Party", a gleefully celebratory romp through bouncy peak-time disco-funk pastures rich in sing-along chorus vocals, clipped guitars, crunchy Clavinet lines, rolling drums and a fresh analogue bassline that's weightier than Homer Simpson after several foot-long sandwiches and gallons of Duff beer. "Happy Not Happy" is a slightly looser and groovier (but no less cheery) workout featuring house style drums, filter effects and ear-catching trumpet lines, while "One Night In Napoli" is a languid shuffle through spacey Italian disco complete with jazz-funk horns and intergalactic Moog lines.

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.

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".

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!

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: 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: Some fine re-edit action here from KS French, AKA Mr Given Raw. 'Funkymama' lifts almost the entire vocal from Ann Peebles' 'Come To Mama' and places it over a heavy funk backdrop, with house-y overtones and much use of the filters. 'Funky Overdose' is a near-instrumental based around a funk bass loop and brass stabs, while 'Magic Your Eyes' is classic-style filter disco topped with the vox from Circle City Band's 1983 boogie gem 'Magic'. 'Glad Bae' has a similar MO to the latter but with an unidentified male soul vocal, while 'World Geto' closes out the EP on a more laidback, jazzy/lounge-y tip.

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: 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

Review: This is the third release in as many weeks from Mr Given Raw, a house-loving Parisian re-editor who clearly loves transforming old tracks into contemporary dancefloor cuts. He eases us in gently with the dusty soul-plus-house beats sweetness of mid-tempo revision "Full Hearts", before dipping the tempo further via his take on a Philly Soul style staple (the winding guitar solos, punchy horns, killer groove and full-throated vocals of "Be With You"). The long-serving scalpel next heads for peaktime floors on "Oh Yeah Bae", where dub-wise effects swirl around soaring disco orchestration and yelping vocal snippets. Finally, "We Got Funk" drags Trouble Funk into the Ableton era with rock solid results.

Review: Gallic producer KS French has been operating on the house-friendly end of the disco re-edit spectrum for some time, serving up popular, club-ready reworks on his label FKR Maison Du Groove. This is his first outing of 2018 and contains a trio of tried-and-tested reworks. Plenty will love opener "Can't Fake", a sprightly, synth-heavy revision of a Geraldine Hunt classic that's less compressed and house style than many of his popular reworks. Elsewhere, "Bae Sweet Love" sees the Frenchman make merry with a dewy-eyed chunk of late night '80s soul, while killer closing cut "Runin" [sic] flits between stripped-back sections of disco-funk groove and celebratory, piano-sporting passages of rushing peak-time goodness.

Review: The 'French Touch' sound was a short-lived phenomenon in the late 90s/early 00s - or so musical history would have you believe. Mais si le French Touch est mort, vive le French Touch! For seven years now, French label FKR Maison Du Groove have been proving that you can't keep a good sub-genre down, and here the best of their output over that time is collected together in one place for your listening and dancing pleasure. So: if you dig deep, dusty, looping disco grooves you'll love this album, whereas if you're not a fan of same, then you definitely won't. Not much more to say, really.

Review: Ultimate house, disco and funk edits from Maison Du Groove outta France that's seen the legendary KS French deliver all manner of classic disco and house manipulations to the world this past decade. Celebrating seven years in the game, this anniversary compilation sends in a collection of sleeping and revamped classics given a new skin for the modern day. There's a slo-mo groove and chunk to most the tracks here with more uptempo rhythms coming in the form on "Soulmate", "Take Me Back" and "Geto Disko", with overtly house numbers to be found in "Funk Overdose" and KS French's "Do It Bae". 7th heaven!

Review: Sometime Katakana Edits artist Belabouche has previously released some of the highest quality material FKR Maison Du Groove has to offer. Predictably, his latest five-track assault is another must-check for those who like their edits rolling and funk-fuelled. Highlights include the razor-sharp guitar riifs, fizzing P-funk grooves and insatiable slap bass of "Get Funky", the throbbing Italo-disco goes disco-house stomp of "Funk A Freak" and the heavy horn lines and lolloping grooves of high-grade Afrobeat rework "Afro Dialects". Elsewhere, closing cut "Mirage" is a head-nodding mid-tempo revision of a Santana style workout, while "Bullshits" is a muscular re-edit of what sounds like an old Grace Jones workout from the iconic artist's "Warm Leatherette" period.

Review: Mr Given Raw is a re-editor and remixer so prolific that he's already onto his second EP of 2019 (itself an impressive feat, given that we're barely three weeks into the New Year). As usual, opener "Get Down" is loopy and seductive, with the Raw one serving up a chunky, filter-sporting dancefloor shuffler built around tooled-up samples from a groovy and life-affirming funk record. "Play House Down", meanwhile, is a hypnotic and metronomic disco-house affair that tips a wink towards the similarly inclined productions of DJ Sneak and DJ Koze. With its swirling, cut-glass strings and sweet female vocals, it feels a little like the latter's gargantuan hit "Pick Up".

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?

Review: The title here translates roughly as "just a little bit of groove", and seldom have the words on a tin more accurately described what its contents do - if you want reference points, think what a 'Too Slow To Disco' compilation put together by Dave Lee might sound like, and you're in roughly the right ballpark! See 'Give Me Your Love' for some fine George Benson-esque geetar work, 'How Sweet You Are' for gloriously cheesy 70s pop/AOR vibes, 'Crazy' for a slightly rawer, Loleatta-esque funk feel or the title track for when you're floating on a lilo and sipping a daquiri...
