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...

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: 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: Hats off to Kng Edits: it's unusual for us to get through a whole EP's worth of re-edits without being able to name at least one or two of the sources, but they've dug deep enough to leave us baffled here! What you end up once they've finished, though, are a couple of hypnotic soul/disco chugathons ('Give Me What You Got', 'Jackhotel'), one piano-tastic workout for the jazz dancers ('HigJaz') and one fat-assed funker from the Fatback/Ohio Players school of thought. Any and all of which, served to a proper disco/funk floor, should do the most efficiently.

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: 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: 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: 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.

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".

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.

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.

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.
