Review: Merging master in the art of anthemic new disco is producer YellowLight! Bringing two remixers of his trance, UK dance pop and synthy stringed style to ISM in "Be Lonely", it sets up a deep and rhythmic vibe for Yam Who? to deliver a slo-mo disco remake that doubles down on its beats! Something more progressive, new wave and gothic with touches of Italo inspires Noviomagum's version that all stems from a single that dips into a pool of freeform fusion.

Review: Janet Jackson provides some vocal inspiration here, as Anthony O'Brien, a member of Cork-based multimedia collective Generic People, lifts a few lines from 'Go Deep' for his latest solo outing. 'Up All Night' itself is supplied in three rubs: the Start Of Night version is a lightweight nu-disco chugger, Jason Busteed's remix is druggier and electro-tinged, while the space-y, weirded-out End Of Night Version is one for 5am floors. Elsewhere, 'Getting' recalls northern European synth-pop of the early 80s while 'Love Is Coming' is a psychedelic raga/dirge. An EP that will suit those who prize experimentation and innovation over instant dancefloor appeal.

Review: Kellini may not be Norway's most famous exponent of nu-disco, but his track record is undeniably impressive. Further proof arrives via "Same Same But Different", a decidedly glassy-eyed and Balearic three-tracker made in cahoots with newcomer Lazy Kay. Throughout, it's the yawning, sun-baked warmth of his synth-pop influenced chord progressions and the glistening brightness of the guitar flourishes that catches the ear. Title track and opener "Same Same But Different" sets the tone via bubbly mid-tempo beats and heaps of summery colour, while "Outchill" is the audio equivalent of wrapping yourself in a warm blanket to gaze at an autumnal Adriatic sunset. If you require a little more energy, head for the woozy synth solos, jaunty grooves and restless cowbells of closing cut "Got To".

Review: ISM's latest modern boogie masterclass comes courtesy of Tiger Cloth, a debutant quartet comprising Filippo Perbellini, Lydia Lyon, Enrico Scatto & Riccardo Salin. In its' original form (track three), "Talk To You" at this a slow but sparkling '80s soul style number rich in Chic style guitars, colourful synthesizers, Seinfeld theme tune bass and sweet soul vocals. The most club-ready remix comes from Glitterbox regulars Qwestlife, who cannily re-imagine the cut as a rolling chunk of deep house/dancefloor boogie fusion. To complete the package, Springbokz man Stephane Deschezeauxhis weighs in with a sparse '80s soul rework that wisely emphasizes the lead vocal, bassline and mazy synth solos.

Review: ISM's tenth anniversary celebrations tend towards the epic, with the Yam Who-helmed label serving up a series of bulging retrospective compilations stacked to the rafters with imprint highlights, dancefloor hits and overlooked gems. This second selection boasts 24 more tried-and-tested ISM classics, from the rubbery disco-funk bounce of Birdee's "Chemistry" and the synth-laden electrofunk revivalism of Qwestlife's D-Train style revision of "Streetlife" by Natasha Watts, to the spiraling Balearic disco throb of Pete Herbert's killer remix of Gemini Brothers' "Jeckermich" and the piano-powered nu-disco-soul of Rocco Raimundo's "Higher Lovin", featuring the smooth vocals of Stee Downes. Other highlights include the boogie-soul revivalism of Sweetooth's "Make Believe" and the hypnotic deep house/electrofunk fusion that is Mark E's fine revision of Heion's "Follow Me".

Review: Notching up a decade in the business is big news for any label, so congratulations must go to Yam Who's ISM label. He's decided to mark the imprint's first decade in some style via a series of compilations that highlight some of the killer nu-disco, boogie, disco, house and Balearic jams nestling in ISM's bulging back catalogue. Highlights are plentiful throughout, from the Imagination-inspired electrofunk flex of Ron Basejam's killer rework of Alena's "Changes" and the synth-heavy rush of Balearic disco maestro Pete Herbert's revision of M Roberto & Nikolay Denev's "Be Yourself", to the breezy, soul-fired dancefloor warmth of Jonathan Ryno's "Don't Know Love" and Mark E's terrifically loved-up deep house tweak of Robot 84's "Lookin' For Love".

Review: Better known as Qwestlife, Monsieur Cedric Benoit and Madame Audrey Benoit return to ISM with a cheery new EP inspired by Latin disco and house. In its original form, "Santo Domingo" is a bumpin' chunk of chant-along Latin house rich in cute musical touches (think headline-grabbing piano riffs, undulating disco bass and sunny guitar flourishes), Spanish vocals and chunky beats. Label boss Yam Who does a great job re-imagining the track as a beefed up slab of piano-heavy Latin house/Latin disco fusion, while bonus cut "You Gotta Love Me (featuring Do)" is a bouncy nu-disco treat full of rubbery boogie bass, sparkling synths and impassioned vocal snippets.

Review: Since making his debut at the dawn of the decade, Marcello De Angelis has delivered a string of fine EPs rich in colourful nu-disco, revivalist boogie and house-powered disco workouts. We always thought that he would be capable of making a cracking album, so it's heartening to see that his full-length debut, "Then Came The Sun", has proved us right. Vibrant and colourful throughout with plenty of authentic-sounding late '70s and early '80s production, the album's 11 tracks attractively sashay between sun-kissed Balearic disco, revivalist boogie business, slick '80s soul, deep house influenced breeziness and sumptuous dub disco. Highlights include - but are no way limited to - the bass-heavy bounce of "Love", the freestyle-goes-disco-house bump of "Chemistry", the D-Train style flex of "Tonite" and the peak-time fuzz of "Dinamo".

Review: Take one part phat, squelchy synth-funk ? la Zapp or Cameo, blend with one-part Balearic nu-disco and what you end up will probably sound not dissimilar to this four-tracker from German producer Oliver Staecker, whose work has previously graced labels including SP Recordings, DC10 Records and Bosphorus Underground. 'Mirage 87' features a looping "the perfect man" female vocal and comes in more laidback Original or struttier Limpodisco Remix passes, while 'Heatwave 86' has a boogie-ish feel in its Original form before Limpodisco injects a little Euro flava. But it's those sleazy, liquid-y basslines that are the real stars of the show throughout.

Review: High-camp punk-funk/disco-not-disco thrills here from Pantalon, supplied in your choice of three mixes. 'In The Nick Of Time' features a main sung/spoken vocal and a second that consists of a man's voice ominously intoning the title: it's likely to prove something of a 'love it or hate it' affair, but we're firmly in the former camp! Birdee's mix foregrounds the ESG-like bassline and features stabs redolent of the classic 'Weekend', the more synth-tastic Future Mix has almost a Belgian New Beat feel and Hober Mallow takes us into more stripped-back, dubbed-out territory, with much Levan-esque echo in evidence.

Review: Marten Roberto and Nikolay Danev are old studio buddies. The duo has previously delivered sprightly, electrofunk-influenced EPs for both Mr Moon and ISM. Here they return to the latter label for the first time in 18 months with "Be Yourself", a deliciously delay-laden mid-tempo fusion of druggy, Italo-disco style arpeggio bass, Fat Freddy's Drop horns, half-spoken/half-sung vocals and intoxicating, outer-space electronics. The fine original version comes accompanied with a more peak-time friendly revision from veteran producer Pete Herbert, who successfully ups the tempo and reaches for the analogue bass in a bid to get limbs flailing. Bonus cut "I Can't Believe", meanwhile, is a fine fusion of drowsy Balearic soul, woozy deep house nous and druggy Italo-disco chug.

Review: Last year, Sweetooth sorts Paul Whitey and Sarah Lazenby pitched up on ISM with "Disco Fantasy", a glorious disco-boogie workout that lit up many nu-disco dancefloors. 14 months on they return to the label, this time in cahoots with Masterworks Music, Midnight Riot and Thunder Jam regular Kellini. In its original form, "Music In U" is a breezy chunk of sun-kissed disco revivalism, with Lazenby providing a strong, sing-along vocal over a fantastic backing track rich in warm bass, colourful synthesizer lines and densely layered percussion hits. Jarle B provides the first revision, pitching down the tempo and opting for a Balearic nu-disco vibe, before the Crystal Touch Remix brilliantly re-casts the track as a synth-heavy chunk of 1980s NYC freestyle/electrofunk fusion.
