Burnin Tears - "Permanent Midnite" (feat Georges Perin - Lee Stevens & Local Suicide remix) - (5:19) 111 BPM
Played by: Local Suicide
Review: Two years ago, Luv Shack celebrated turning ten with the release of 'Retroscope', a killer collection of reworks of classic cuts from the catalogue. This sequel repeats the formula, delivering five more fresh revisions of Luv Shack classics. Polish cosmic disco superhero Das Komplex steps up first with a typically trippy, dubbed-flecked nu-disco take on Jakobin's 'See Me Through', before Rosa Red reaches for psychedelic TB-303 lines and hot-stepping beats on a pitched-up revision of 'If You' by Ken Hayakawa and Lee Stevens. The latter's LeSale hook-up 'LuvSick' is then re-imagined as a dark Italo throbber by Tomasz Guiddo. To round things off, Stevens joins forces with Local Suicide on an Italo-meets-deep synth-pop revision of Burnin' Tears' 'Permanent Midnite' before Local Suicide delivers a moodier and sleazier solo take on the same track.

Review: Vienna-born Lee Stevens is back on Luv Shack Records with his latest EP, marking his first solo release since 2012's 'LUV001'. For this release, he's taken on the Rising Seed alias and is exploring a more laid-back sound. 'Right On', the opening track, merges Ennio Morricone's and John Carpenter's signature styles to create a synth-heavy dance music universe. 'Maskaron' pays tribute to new wave and obscure Italo disco with chanting that will transport you back to 1970s western movies. 'Trippin' On Your Love' takes us on a journey through proto-house and synth-dance, complete with arp bass and occasional breakbeats. 'Ju Know', the fourth track, features Stevens and longtime collaborator Simonlebon in a moody jam, complete with heavy low-end synths, bittersweet vocal samples, and 80s pop-style piano chords. Finally, 'Destruction', the closing track, combines tight 808 drums with a dark bassline and eerie vocals, while uplifting synth chords remind us that there is still hope.

Review: Ten months after unveiling their first batch of 'Disco Biscuits', Luv Shack has served up another piping hot selection of Viennese Whirls. Ken Hayawaka and Lee Stevens are first to showcase their crunchy and crumbly wares on 'If You', a riff-sporting, warehouse ready chunk of nu-disco-tinged house nostalgia, before LeSale reaches for the chocolate chips on the bubbly, vibrant and crystal-clear nu-disco sparkle of 'What Lies Beyond'. Fast-rising Polish producer Das Komplex is at his cosmic, dubbed-out best on the cheery disco-not-disco excellence of 'Odmewianie', while Jakobin and Domino's EP-closing 'Square One' sandwiches squelchy synth-bass and dreamy chords between piping hot nu-disco beats and spacey electronics.

Review: Many happy returns to Luv Shack Records, which has now been in the game for 10 long years. To celebrate, they've asked a bunch of hugely talented producers to deliver fresh interpretations of classic cuts from the catalogue. Predictably, it's Norwegian heavyweight Prins Thomas who steals the show, turning Space Echo's 'Come Back Home' into a subtly Afro-tinged slab of Scandolearic dub disco that stretches out for 11 alluring minutes. There's plenty to set the pulse racing elsewhere across the EP, too, including a chugging, dark Italo-influenced rub of Rising Seed's 'Train To Kishmarton' by ROCTIV, a loose and languid, sun-kissed vocal disco rework of Space Echo's 'Soul Power' by Golden Boogie Connection, and an atmospheric, slow motion and decidedly horizontal Rising Seed dub of Lee Stevens' 'Ridin' High'.

Review: Four original productions plus a remix of the title track make up this EP from RotCiv, a Brazilian producer who's been based in Berlin since 2010. 'Elev8tion' comes from the Moroder/Baldelli/Robotnick school of thought but has a clear acid house influence as well, while Massimiliano Pagliara's remix smooths out the sharper edges and could work on progressive/melodic house floors. The other three tracks are similarly Italo-inspired, with 'The Morning After' the pick for this reviewer thanks to its slightly less frantic tempo and ominous, broody feel. There's plenty of similar tackle around right now, but this EP's a worthy example of the style for sure.

Review: You've all seen the meme where Batman's punching Robin. Now just imagine Robin's saying "You need lots of elements for a killer dancefloor tra-" and Batman's cutting him off with "No, you just need a rolling funk loop, some sax parps and a few James Brown-style vocal shouts", and you know pretty much all you need to know about 'Cha Ha' - file under "absolute bloody dancefloor devastation ahoy!", whether you opt for the 4:13 Radio Edit or 6:43 Original. The accompanying 'Another Dream' is a pleasant-enough meandering, midtempo instrumental that comes with a spacier, more stripped-back Das Kompex Remix, but it's the title track that's the must-have.

Review: More from Luv Shack stalwart Lesale, who delivers a quick follow-up to June's rather fine "Mister Easy EP". The headine attraction is undoubtedly the producer's "Baguette Magique" (snigger), a deliciously loved-up, bouncy and positive chunk of disco/deep house fusion smothered in clanking percussion hits, spine-tingling strings and wonky, Syclops-esque electronics. Roman Rauch remixes, seemingly drawing influence from classic, turn-of-the-90s New York deep house and quirky acid tracks. Elsewhere, "House Rules" is a fine chunk of sun-kissed disco-house classiness that seemingly unfurls itself as the track progresses, while "Jungle Breeze" brilliantly joins the dots between early Italian dream house and contemporary tropical house.

Review: Austrian imprint Luv Shack kicks off 2018 with something rather special: a five-track collection of reworks of tracks by wild Italian twosome Hard Ton (the original versions of which can mostly be found on last year's excellent Party Hard Ton full-length). We're particularly enjoying Ali Renault's dark, woozy, stomping and warehouse-friendly take on "Yeah Yeah" (think Carl Craig's more hypnotic techno moments pitched-down and infused with low-slung acid house), though you'll struggle to find a more celebratory house cut than Jakobin and Domino's breezy re-make of "Happy House". Also worth checking are the two remixes of "Can You Feel The Love", with Nico Lah's ridiculously bass-heavy tweak standing out.

Review: Italian group Hard Ton's second remix EP on Luv Shack Records comes packed with five more exclusive reworks. It features Parisian producer/rapper Kiddy Smile, fellow Luv Shackers Lee Stevens and Audio Red and Kelton Prima. Our highlights were "Never Give Up" getting the ROTCIV treatment: the Brazilian producer gives the track a classic mid '80s Chicago styled makeover. The other highlight was the Tomasz Guiddo Remix of "The Way You Rock" which similarly goes stateside, but with more of an early '90s sound: reminiscent of the legendary MK's style of dubs. Released earlier in 2017, Party Hard Ton was about the uniting aspects of electronic music and celebrating the concept of partying. The styles featured on the album were as diverse as the artists involved such as Moralez & Sames, Johnny Woo, Snuff Crew and Spiller. For those that missed it, we'd highly recommend it!

Review: Hard Ton are a decadent Italian duo who were 'fused...from the musical loins of DJ Wawashi and heavy metal singer Max' nearly a decade ago. They make electronic dance music that is both sleazy and camp and have had releases on labels like Gigolo, Permanent Vacation and Bordello A Paragi. Here they release a 13-track album, Party Hard Ton, on Austria's Luv Shack label and it's a belter. Highlights include their floaty Ibiza-disco Spiller collaboration "Right Now", the otherwordly synth ballad "Be My Spell" (featuring Adriano Canzian) and the nasty jackin' narrative of "Stumblin'" (which features London's own Johnny Woo). Essential party material.

Review: Following successful flirtations with Bordello a Parigi and Smile For A While, Hard Ton returns to Luv Shack. This time, the Italian duo has got original disco-house hero Spiller (he of "Groovejet" fame) in tow. "Right Now" offers a perfect fusion of loopy, disco-house riffs, swinging deep house beats, and the kind of vocal that should get them going out on the dancefloor. While it's good, the accompanying remixes from Dimitri From Paris and DJ Rocca are even better. Choose between the Italo-house/electrofunk fusion of the Erodisctotique Mix, and the piano-heavy thrills of the duo's Dubstrumental, which sounds like something that would have been popular at the Paradise Garage circa 1989.

Review: Hard Ton are the fun loving Venetian duo comprised of DJ Wawashi and heavy metal singer Max. Soaring falsettos "conjure up memories of smoky dancefloors during the heady days of HI-NRG" and are behind such fabulous titles titles like "I'm Your Machine" and "We Came Here (To Jack)". Their new track "Queer Nation" is a buzzing and grinding all analogue techno jam featuring a massive roll call, name dropping everyone that matters! There's a hot remix by Classic Recordings man man Luke Solomon too, which gives it that early noughties west coast tribal house vibe. Brazilian via Berlin Rotciv steps in to lend a helping hand on the deep acid groover "Style Ga Galore" plus they offer up something a bit more lo-slung and dusty on the deep disco of "The Way You Rock".
