Review: Amazingly, it's taken Mullet Records just seven years to notch up a century of releases. Fittingly, they've chosen to mark the occasion by commissioning new remixes of their very first single, label boss Casio Social Club's "Count Your Lucky Stars". The man himself kicks things off, delivering a typically bouncy, synth-heavy '80s boogie interpretation of his '08 original, before Brazilian boogie boy Joeblack weighs in with a sumptuous '80s soul tweak. Elsewhere, Tad Wily fixes Balearic attitude and deep house nous to tactile grooves and melodious synths, Dragon Suplex go all nu-disco, and longtime friend of the family The Diogenese Club drops a typically cheery deep house version.

Review: It's been two years since the last installment of Justin 'Casio Social Club' Winks's Remix Collection series. This third installment focuses largely on reworks from the last couple of years - mostly for material on his own Mullet Records imprint - and sees him joining the dots between vintage electrofunk, nu-disco, synth-pop and organ-laden '90s house. Highlights are plentiful, and include a superb, synth-laden dub of Tad Wily's "Go Ahead" (complete with percussion borrowed from a BB&Q classic), a freestyle revision of Timmy Vegas's "Don't Stop", and a radio-friendly '90s house re-fix of Muddyloop's "If This Isn't Love". Oh, and two stellar versions of cuts from fast-rising Brazilian nu-disco starlet Joeblack.

Review: Brazilian producer Joeblack has previously proved adept at creating warm, synth-laden, sun-kissed boogie packed with authentic stylistic touches (Shalamar style guitars, D-Train synth flashes, bubbling analogue basslines, and so on). "Can't Let You Go" contains many of these stylistic traits, with the addition of some subtle horns and a terrifically soulful bi-lingual vocal (Portuguese and English). It's terrifically breezy and well produced, and arguably his strongest single to date. Remix-wise, he delivers a chunky, largely instrumental dub with just the right amount of vocal, while label owners Casio Social Club provide a deeper, slower nu-disco take that's suitably reverential to the Brazilian's excellent original.

Review: Astonishingly, it's some 13 years since Greek duo Muddyloop made their debut on legendary deep house label Chez. These days, they're more interested in making Balearic disco, revivalist boogie and radio-friendly synth pop. "Sentimental" falls into the latter category, taking the form of a bubbling chunk of synthesizer-heavy, slo-mo pop. It features a superb vocal from Marvin Ambrosious, whose treacle-thick delivery perfectly suits the duo's 1980s-inspired grooves. Three members of the extended Mullet family deliver remixes, with Brazilian producer Joeblack's thickset electrofunk version - laden with vintage synthesizers, as usual - standing out.

Review: Hailing from Brazil, Joeblack is on a mission to bring back the good time vibes of 80s electro boogie, and Mullet boss Casio Social Club has now given him the go ahead to continue his campaign with another Mundo Paralelo installment. Although the six tracks here could be accused of pastiche (he even lifts a chorus from Hall & Oates on "Nao Vou Parar"), the excellent production, playing and gifted vocals (made even better by being sung in his native tongue) make these chrome-plated digi-soul jams all his own.

Review: Sounding like a killer death move in an '80s 8-bit wrestling game, Dragon Suplex immediately fits right in with the Mullet aesthetic, even before we've heard the music. Speaking of which we get four retro tinged jams, just the way label boss Casio Social Club likes it. Highlights include the smooth but tough electro-house groover, "Something Something", the Shannon-esque "Playing With Me" and the vapour trail synth-washed "Proud".

Review: Casio Social Club's Mullet label has always treaded the fine line between revivalist electrofunk, smooth nu-disco and radio-friendly '80s pop. This latest missive from the Mullet camp - from experienced producers Muddyloop - fits into the latter category. It's the kind of breezy vocal cut you'd expect to hear on Radio 1 sometime around 1989. There are various remixes - a cheeky 1992 radio-friendly pop-house revision from Casio Social Club, a bouncy nu-disco take from Dragon Suplex - with JoeBlack's 'Boogie' rub being the standout. Bristling with vintage synths, crispy guitars and machine drum hits, it's the EP's standout moment by some distance.

Review: "Voltar" was a standout track on Mundo Paralelo Vol 1, the debut album by Brazlian producer Joeblack, released back in July. Here as a single, it takes centre stage and rightly so - it's a seductive slice of mid-80s neon tinted soul like Princess meets Haywood. Bumper takes a cue from Zapp's electro-funk for his mix, and label boss Casio Social Club also provides an electro-fying hi-NRG electro disco bomb.

Review: Mullet Records make absolutely no pretence about their love of late '80s chrome and carpet synth-soul, and why should they? That stuff was immaculately produced digi soul at its finest. Of that era none was arguably finer than the work of Janet Jackson and Jam & Lewis, and here Sterling has sampled Miss Jackson's "Control" to devastating effect. Elsewhere we get some cool remixes by Timmy Vegas (bonkers electro freestyle) and Joeblack (quirky electrofunk), but it's the full vocal mix that's in control here.

Review: Brazilian producer Joeblack recently hit the headlines by turning Robin S's '90s classic "Show Me Love" into an '80s boogie smasher. Here he changes tack, releasing a debut EP of original material shot through with authentic '80s soul melodies, jaunty synth basslines, clocking Linn drum percussion and smooth vocals, mostly delivered in his native Portuguese. Mundo Paralelo Vol 1 variously touches on sinewy R&B and tasty electrofunk (see the excellent "Agora Vai"), but for the most part it sits somewhere between revivalist, radio-friendly synth-pop and authentic '80s soul. It might be retro-futurist in outlook, but it's brilliantly played and produced, making it feel like a lost relic of the era of big hair, garish clothes and fluorescent cocktails.

Played by: Casio Social Club
Review: Shena is a UK disco singer with 20 years of releases under her belt. Here her 2011 tune "Homewrecka" (originally recorded with Stereobrain and Sheriff), gets dusted down and reworked by Mullet main man Casio Social Club. Unsurprisingly he takes the song deep into the mid '80s, delivering some crisp electro-funk production, the kind heard on records by the likes of Haywood. What stands out here thought, aside from the strong emotive vocals, is quality of songwriting, rounded off with a great big chorus that will stick in your brain.

First Kiss (Joeblack Boogie remix) - (5:45) 114 BPM Hot
Review: Last year's First Kiss EP from Zurich-based Dragon Suplex was one of Mullet's biggest hits to date, so it's little surprise to see the picturesque title track getting the remix treatment. The Swiss duo steps up first, transforming their nu-disco and boogie influenced original into a booming but baggy, garage-influenced synth-house anthem. Label owners Casio Social Club reach for the organs on their vintage '92 US garage-inspired rework, while Odahl's strobe-friendly house refix benefits greatly from tons of cut-up organs, synths and vocals. Fishing Vest go deeper, offering up a mix that sounds like the Pet Shop Boys after a fist full of happy pills, while Joeblack drops the stand-out version: a total boogie overhaul that sounds like it could have been produced in 1983.

Bass Face (Justin Winks vs Casio Social Club dub mix) - (7:08) 122 BPM
Review: Justin Winks, aka Casio Social Club, runs his Miami Vice style church of 1980s worship, Mullet Recordings, as a tight ship (a yacht to be precise). Such a tight ship in fact, that lately after ages of putting out other folk's stuff, he's been hogging the release schedule...and why not eh? "Bass Face" is basically Winks riffing on Freeze's classic A.E.I.O.U. adding some more freestyle and early Chicago house vibes for fun. However it's his own dub mix, a stripped down excursion into sleek electro-disco, that wins our vote.

Review: There's never been any real question as to what era Mullet Records boss Casio Social Club is obsessed with, but he's decided to release 'best of' compilation full of '80s goodness just in case. All his classics are here, from the sweet "Little French Girl", to his killer rework of Imagination's "Just An Illusion" and the Lisa Stansfield-sampling "Little Luv". There's also some new tracks too, including the moody title track "Retromental" which somehow manages to sound like Owl City and still be good!

Don't Stop (instrumental) - (5:40) 120 BPM
Review: Covering a stone cold classic is always tough, and Elijah Collins has set himself a tough task in taking on Yardborough & Peoples' 1980 electrofunk smash "Don't Stop The Music". Thankfully, he's done a sterling job, getting just the right balance between paying the original due respect and updating it for contemporary dancefloors. The result is a bouncy, undulating nu-disco jam that sits somewhere between contemporary synth boogie and shimmering deep house. The famous bassline and melodies - replayed, of course, on swanky modern synthesizers - perfectly compliments Aina's soulful vocal. If you'd prefer less of the vocal, there's a tasty instrumental included.

Highlights of this long player include the '80s E.G. Daily-isms of "Count Your Lucky Stars", the Italo/Eurobeat vibes of "April Showers" and the air-punching genius of his synth-drenched Lionel Richie cover, "The Running Man".

Review: Mr Collins is a firm staple of the Mullet camp, usually providing killer remixes for the likes of Casio Social Club. His approach is a simple and sharp fusion of mid-80s dance-pop vibes with contemporary electro-house production. "If I Had A Chance" is a sultry slice of electro-funk with a sassy female vocal and wouldn't be out of place on the dancefloor in Scarface, in between maybe a Mary Jane Girls or Shannon track. Say hello to your new little friend.

It's a deliciously summery concoction, especially in its Extended Vocal Mix form, which adds some extra cowbells and lovingly crafted drops to accentuate Patrick Baker's woozy vocal. BRONX turn the original into a melodic chunk of bouncy deep house complete with classic piano riffs, while nu-disco fusion pest Nine Lives takes "Just For Tonight" into organ-heavy US garage territory on his breezy rework. For those who dislike Baker's breathy, Marmite vocal, Toccafondi also offers up an Extended Instrumental Mix.
