Review: Gentle Young Casanova marks experienced German producer Linntronix's first appearance on Munich's Love Harder. It's a typically warm and evocative affair, with darting keys, hazy vocal snippets and sinewy disco strings riding a synth bass-propelled deep house groove. The accompanying remix package is undeniably solid, too. Label regular Guardate dips the tempo and delivers a looser, warmer deep house take - think glassy-eyed grooves and woozy riffs - while Tel Aviv's Disco Funk Spinner successfully draws out the original's disco and boogie influences whilst adding his own tasty drumbeats. Best of all, though, is the revision from DJ Friction, which effortlessly fuses the loose, rhythmic swing of disco, and the life-affirming haziness of jazz-flecked deep house.
Review: Fresh from delivering a couple of high quality re-edits for Rare Wiri's Classics Of Arrikitaun series, James 'Rod' Rodriguez pops up on Love Harder with a fresh nu-disco production. "Lipstick '78" is a baggy and bouncy disco treat, with Rodriguez peppering an old school disco groove with bubbly electronics and psychedelic synths. Schwarz 100's remix is all about build and release; the producer works a filtered loop hard for a couple of minutes, before introducing the full weight of Rodriguez's original groove. The trick is repeated via an epic breakdown midway through, before he brilliantly brings it all home. In contrast, Fran Deeper's rework nattily focuses on Rodriguez's loose, trippy synths and electronic flourishes.
