B.D.F.Q. (FSQ remix - extended version) - (7:41) 110 BPM
Review: NYC combo 79.5 are, like Midnight Magic and Escort before them, a live outfit whose trademark sound and output is shaped by the rich musical history of the city they call home. That superb sound was outlined on last year's eponymous debut album, tracks from which appear in remixed form on this must-check EP. There are two takes on previous single 'Feel Like Dancin': an extended deep house take by Malik Hendricks with added Afro-house percussion, and an impressive low-tempo chugger titled the 'Generalisation Dub'. 'B.D.F.Q' also comes in two contrasting variations: the spacey electro-meets-ghetto-house flex of the Jubilee Remix, and an extended version of FSQ's Midnight Magic style neo-disco interpretation. A percussive and joyous J Kriv house revision of 'Our Hearts Didn't Go That Way' completes a fine package.

We Live In The Hills - (5:23) 106 BPM Hot
Sixth Bridge - (4:22) 112 BPM
Review: An international meeting of the minds here as Japan-based British veteran Max Essa joins forces with Eddie C, who hails from Ontario in Canada but now calls Berlin home. Together they've come up with four classy jams that blur the lines between Balearica, nu-disco and deep house, with 'Melon Steppin' centred on a fragile keys riff but busting out some fine 303 squelch in the middle, 'Save Me' a more mellow and soulful affair with hints of jazz-funk, 'We Live In the Hills' all ponderous drums, haunting chords and more squelchy synths, and 'Sixth Bridge' a more midtempo, vaguely lounge-y closer.

Review: Felipe Gordon may be a confirmed label-hopper - in the last 12 months alone he's appeared on Clone Royal Oak, Toucan Sounds and Shall Not Fade - but he's also Mr Consistency. Predictably, this return to New York's Razor N Tape imprint is full to bursting with tried-and-tested dancefloor treats. Gordon is at his expressive, musically expansive best on 'Flutes of Gold', where vibraphone and synth solos stretch out over a lolloping deep house beat and warming electric piano chords, while 'Right Beside Me' is an infectious, low-slung, sample-heavy jazz-house delight. To round off the EP, Gordon smothers a luscious deep house groove with extended organ solos ('Homage to Bossa'), before taking us deep into space via the wild TB-303 motifs, pots-and-pans beats and shimmering chords of 'Acid Party at Santa Barbara'.

Tu Tak Tu Tak Tutiyan (Elado Remixes)
Tu Tak Tu Tak Tutiyan (Elado's Gulab Jamun rework) - (4:07) 123 BPM Hot
Tu Tak Tu Tak Tutiyan (Elado's 4 A.M. mix) - (4:45) 123 BPM
Review: Since it first appeared a couple of years ago, Elado's 'Gulab Jamun' rework of Nadeem Khan's 'Bollywood disco' classic 'Tu Tak Tu Tak Tutiyan' has become a firm favourite on dancefloors around the world. Here it returns to Razor-N-Tape via an officially licensed reissue. That take - a squelchy, acid-flecked stomper that puts Nadeem Khan's infectious lead vocals front and centre, alongside jacking drums, looped sections of the original instrumentations and wiggly TB-303 motifs - naturally opens proceedings. It's followed by the previously unheard '4AM Mix', a more intoxicating, exotic and mind-altering dub-style remix that naturally makes more of Elado's bassline and savage acid tweakery. In a word: essential!

Flamingo Pier & Steve Monite - "Remedy" (JKriv Disco dub) - (6:00) 124 BPM Hot
Review: Flamingo Pier, the disco-boogie sensation from New Zealand, takes a transatlantic journey with their latest Beneath the Neon EP for Razor-N-Tape. Recognised for their electrifying parties in East London and their hometown festival appearances - this Kiwi collective serves up three fresh tracks that both reinforce and broaden their trademark danceable indie-soul & groove. The lead single, "How 2 Feel" delves into the club realm with a pulsating house rhythm paired by angular synth stabs, horn lines, and infectious vocal chants. "Beneath the Neon" and "Remedy" stay true to Flamingo Pier's signature disco-dance style, featuring more vocal hooks, funky guitar riffs to boot, and some mighty fine Luke Walker production. To top it off, the EP includes remixes by Chicago house legend Glenn Underground and RNT co-head JKriv, who welcomes in some extra Afro-boogie royalty in Steve Monite for a guest appearance. Drenched in sun-soaked vibes, Beneath the Neon is the ideal soundtrack for basking in the dog days of a summer afternoon.

Review: The illustrious Razor-N-Tape label once again demonstrates its unyielding dedication to exceptional music with a captivating debut from Hiatt dB. With releases on esteemed imprints like Rhythm Section and his own Mystery Zone label, Texan talent Hiatt dB's debut on Razor-N-Tape introduces us to a scintillating six-track mini album titled "11pm - 'Til," an electrifying odyssey that traverses the sonic landscapes of funk, house, acid, breaks, disco, and boogie. The album's opener, "When The Night Is Right", sets the stage with an irresistible allure, inviting dancers to surrender to the rhythm and embrace the night. "First On The Floor" unfurls with spaced-out boogie beats, evoking visions of a cosmic dance party where the boundaries of time and space dissolve. "Take The Low Roads Home" exudes slow-motion house sleaze, pulling us into a hypnotic state of groove. Hiatt dB's musical prowess shines brilliantly on "11pm - 'Til," demonstrating a masterful command over a spectrum of genres. A synthesis of influences, from the raw energy of breaks to the nostalgic charm of disco, creates a symphony that is both captivating and compelling.

Freak At Night EP
Freak At Night - (4:47) 122 BPM
Bit-O-Honey - (4:24) 116 BPM Hot
Review: RNT welcomes Amy Douglas - of Horse Meat Disco, DFA, Soul Clap and Tiger Sushi fame - to their label with a double dose rough-n-tumble NYC disco heat. Amy's distinctive vocal swagger and songwriting talent shines through on this EP, co-written and produced by Razor-N-Tape co-honcho JKriv. Both tracks are bass-heavy ear-worms, serving as wickedly naughty party starters. With Freaks At Night delivering a pair of future modern disco classics to ignite dance floors, get your vocal-led bassline and pianos from "Freak At Night" with some sultry drums and percussion in "Bit-O-Honey".
