Review: Italian house and disco producer Da Lukas, whose work has appeared on such respected labels as King Street, Strictly Rhythm, Purple Music and Midnight Riot, teams up with the mysterious Musione 2 (a live collective, apparently, but very little info is available) on this two-track, three-mix EP. 'Real Thing' itself sits essentially under the disco-house umbrella, albeit the 70s Funk Force is strong in this one; the accompanying Club Mix smooths off some of track's rougher funk edges, while 'Free & Happy' is the EP's most authentically 70s-sounding cut, and as such the one that's most likely to find favour with funk purists.

Review: This reviewer has long been an admirer of Natasha Kitty Katt's way with a big, strutty disco-tech stomper, but this team-up with US trumpeter Tommy Tangie finds her treading a somewhat more understated path. 'Space Wave' rides a rolling disco-house rhythm with female vocal snips and the occasional pyowww! stab, but it's the mournful trumpet line courtesy of Tangie that's the star of the show. Said horn also plays a key role in the slightly lower-tempo 'Electrifying', albeit here it's the high-camp and rather 80s-sounding "it's electrifying!" female vocal (presumably from Ms Kitty Katt herself) that takes the leading role.

Review: Few can touch Natasha Kitty Katt when it comes to tuff, strutty disco-tech, but last year's 'Kosmic Oscillations' brought us a glimpse of her deeper side. On this remix package, Ali Aitken funks things up and adds a spoken male hypnobabble vocal, Dexter Jones's Cosmic Glue Mix takes us to the disco/souful house borders, while the Nite Owl Remix is a smoother ride that leans towards the melodic side of things. All three are plenty playable, but the standout for this writer is the deep, throbbing Antenna! Ghetto Disco Mix, which features what appears to be a sampled interview with Ms Kitty Katt herself.

Review: An Italo-inspired two-tracker here from Antenna!, which is an alias for Andrea Bertolini, a 20-year veteran of the Italian scene, sometime Joe T Vanelli cohort and self-confessed inveterate synth-botherer. 'Foton' itself rides a chugging, bass-y groove with space disco stabs and a lead line that's redolent of 80s sci-fi themes, but for this writer it's the accompanying 'Vostok' that takes the gold, keeping the top-end in check and letting a Moroder-esque bass throb do most of the lifting, making for a rub that's got broader appeal beyond the Italo faithful. Fans of Bertolini's heroes Chicken Lips and Emperor Machine will love it!

Review: Our pun-tastic artist name of the week award goes to Boston-based Serge Gamesbourg, who's perhaps best known as the man behind BBE's 'Boston Goes Disco!' collection. Here he serves up his own re-edits of two slightly overlooked gems from days gone by, with 'The Cool, The Hip & The Square' itself a reworking of Ted Taylor's 1977 TK Disco cut 'Ghetto Disco' while 'Bring Them Back Together' plunders Billy Paul's 'Bring The Family Back' from 1979. Both re-edits are very checkable, with the former leaning more to the funky side while the latter's a string-drenched, soulful affair.

Review: Over the past few years Ms Kitty Katt has shaped up into one of the most reliable contemporary disco/disco-house producers around, and this latest four-track EP doesn't disappoint. The title track is a chuggy, bottom-heavy affair topped with cosmic synth squiggles, 'Larry's Code' is a pacier cut that goes to town with the space disco stabs, while 'Up There?' is a more eyes-down workout. The standout for this reviewer though is 'Katt Nip', a heavily electronic, Italo-style chugger with a distinctive posh, male spoken vocal and an actual cat's miaow - the two are connected, but I won't spoil it....

Review: Glitterbox fave drops two tracks of solid gold disco action on Ghetto Disco, the Edinburgh-based label she runs with her father Dennis Probert. Re-edits are Ghetto Disco's stock-in-trade, so that's presumably what these are, though the original source material isn't clear. But what we can tell you is that 'Twisted Katt' is an unhurried, chugging affair that sports a looping female chorus, as well a snatch of male vocal from Bohannon's 'Me And The Gang', while the accompanying 'Cosmic Bitch' is a very serviceable slice of Joey Negro-esque disco house topped with some killer strings.
