Rare Wiri Spain
Review: Four tracks of heavily electronic disco make up this latest V/A collection from Rakyo's Rare Wiri stable. Ilya Santana gets the ball rolling with the ominous, cinematic 'After Dark', before Kay-chi & Keymon drag us onto the early 80s dancefloor with 'Patches Of Light' feat Kally Voo. The label boss himself then steps up with 'Relax Your Body', which looks to styles like cosmic disco, EBM and Belgian new beat for inspiration, before the EP's completed by MR Gee's 'Under The Moonlight', which opens with a mood-setting manic cackle then breaks out into something of a moody, midtempo synth epic.

Review: Four tracks from as many artists make up this latest V/A offering from Rayko's Rare Wiri, with a couple of heavy-hitters sharing the stage with a brace of newcomers. Up first is new boy Billy Woods, who channels early 80s cod reggae vibes on not-unlikable opener 'Reggae Music' before Spanish veteran Ilya Santana shows us how the big boys do it with the surging, euphoric and lightly rock-tinged nu-disco of 'X Factor'. Label chief Rayko then steps up with the decidedly 80s-sounding 'Jabdah' before Leo Zero plays us out with the rawk geetars of 'All Is Fair'.

Review: Spanish don Ilya Santana returns to Rare Wiri and ropes in Scandinavian counterpart Rune Lindbaek on remix duties. In its Original form, 'Cosmos Rising' - as you can probably guess from the title alone - comes from that part of the musical spectrum where Italo/cosmic disco and progressive house/melodic techno collide, and as such should work on any floor where they like it big, bold and trippy. But it's the Rune Lindbaek Remix that nudges it for yours truly, being an even bigger, bolder and trippier pass with warehouse-friendly kicks and some added spoken vocal samples paying homage to the special magic of the mushroom.

Review: The trio of Ilya Santana, Rune Lindbaek and Rayko is surely a line-up to get any nu-disco lover's mouth watering, but do be aware that the clue's very much in the title here, with all three producers drawing heavily on Spanish/Latin influences - Lindbaek's 'Moonlight', in particular, may invoke memories of sangria-sozzled evenings on youthful package holidays. Conversely, if you're NOT a huge fan of Latin sounds generally, then Santana's 'Fresa' is probably the one to head for, operating as it does in slightly more typical nu-disco territory, with only the vocal and strings bringing a hint of Latin flava.

Review: It's time to welcome back Spanish nu-disco veteran Ilya Santana, who has been missing in action, presumed DJing, for the best part of two years. As comebacks go, "Electric Mind" is pretty darn good. Underpinned by druggy, Italo-disco style arpeggio lines and squeezable synth-bass, the slo-mo shuffler's best asset is undoubtedly the wild variety of vintage synthesizer lines that Santana smartly layers on top. The remixes are rather tasty, too. There's a decidedly Baldelli-esque, guitar-laden "Cosmic Western" remix from Rare Wiri boss man Rayko, while label regular James Rod pushes up the tempo and emphasizes Santana's Italo-disco influences on his dancefloor-friendly revision.

Played by: Rayko
Review: All of a sudden, Rayko is getting a little nostalgic. Here, he goes Back To The Roots of his Rare Wiri imprint, offering up brand new remixes of the cuts that appeared on the label's first release way back in 2008. First up, Phunktastike and Julian Sanza remix Ilya Santana's "Instrumental Odyssey". Sanza steals the show with a sparkling Balearic disco re-rub built around his own rubbery electric bass, chugging beats and flowery synth solos. There's a similarly terrace-friendly feel about Sportito's breezy and atmospheric take on Rayko's "White Russian", while Lone Soldier turns the same track into a low-slung, Italo-influenced chugger.

Logic BabyEXCLUSIVE
Review: Two Spanish stalwarts of the nu-disco and edits scene join forces on this two-track EP. As you'd expect from Rayko's Rare Wiri label, the emphasis is on re-edits, though there's enough additional production and contemporary trickery on display than you're average scalpel cut. Ilya Santana steps up first with "Logic", a decidedly cosmic, and trippy re-build of Japanese producer Logic System's 1981 electronic classic "Clash (Chinjyu of Sun)". Rayko, meanwhile, drops "Baby", a similarly dubbed-out and floor-friendly remake of what sounds like a forgotten Italo classic. Knowing Rayko, it could just as easily be something well known put through the mangler; either way, it's one of his strongest cuts for some time.
