Review: Featuring serious numbers from Curses, Fabrizio Mammarella, Pin Up Club and more - this Borix compilation presents the Best Of Relish VIII. With two badass remixes by Robi Insinna not be be overlooked, Niv Ast drops in with a pumping and slightly tripped out electro number "Tatiana", next to UK beat-poetry of Bozzwell's haunted indie session "Isolation Underground". Fabrizio Mammarella turns up the drums in his contribution via "Magnesium", with a Curses remix of Younger Than Me something of a bonus track that turns in a darkly defiant post punk number that buuurns. Enjoy!

Review: Headman's Relish label bring us the latest in their series of label compilations, with this one gathering together 10 tracks that were originally released over the past half-decade or so. Relish are 20 years old this year, so you should have a pretty good idea what to expect already: indie-dance and synth-led nu-disco with an experimental/leftfield edge have long been the label's stock-in-trade, and so it is here. Justine Forever's idiosyncratic cover of Siouxsie & The Banshees' 'Happy House' and the Cure-ish guitars on Mondowski's 'Surfin' Hell' evidence a slightly goth-y edge, too, but the standout for yours truly is Red Axes' remix of Gina X's 'No G.D.M' - think ESG meet The B-52s.

Review: 20 years into his career as Headman, Robi Insinna is in a nostalgic mood. He's decided to offer up a series of retrospective compilations featuring original productions and remixes, some of which were previously unreleased. To begin the series, he's prepared an epic collection focusing on archive cuts recorded between 2001 and 2011. There's plenty of weighty, low-slung goodness to be found throughout - much of it inspired by a mix of post-punk, punk-funk, no wave and dub disco -as well as some stripped-back, synth-powered hedonism (see the 'Rework' of his collaboration with Yello's Deiter Meier, 'Gimme'). Some of the included remixes are rather fine, too, with highlights including Chicken Lips' sleazy, TB-303-powered take on 'It Rough', In Flagranti's sweaty revision of 'Gimme' and Chmmr's throbbing, delay-laden re-wire of 'Blue Boys'.

Review: Headman's Relish label have been turning out the angular, leftfield disco-not-disco grooves for nearly 20 years now. So it's no surprise that such are in abundance on this 10-track compilation; what's more surprising is that two decades in, far from the label's quality standards slipping they actually seem, if anything, to be getting better at it! Fans of the likes of ESG, A Certain Ratio, Liquid Liquid, Fischerspooner or Cabaret Voltaire will find much to enjoy here, with Moscoman's dub-inflected 'Wet Shoes Everywhere', Bozzwell's Talking Heads-ish 'I'm Emotive' and Retriever's hypnotic, gothic-tinged 'Murder (NUN Remix)' among the highlights.

Review: Headman's Relish reissue an album that was first out in 2006, but that could easily have been released 20 years earlier. Italo, electro and new beat/EBM would be the key points of reference overall, and words like 'spiky' and 'angular' spring most readily to mind when attempting to describe most of the tracks. But there are also moments - see 'Tightropes' or 'Regrets And Tears', for instance - that opt for a smoother feel and end up sounding closer to 80s synth-pop doyens like New Order, Black or The The, while cuts such as 'Maximum Joy' and '444 Days' have a slightly heavier, more industrial feel.

Review: For over 15 years, Headman's Relish imprint has been one of the most vital electronic disco imprints. As this compilation EP demonstrates, it's still ahead of pretty much everyone else. Label owner Robi Insinna, the brains behind the Headman project, delivers a drum-heavy, murky take on The Mansisters' "Tex Control", while on "A Bit Of Sickness" Teniente Castillo & Mufti provide a near-definitive Relish track. Powerful, rumbling bass provides a back drop for eerie effects, dubbed out drums and some outer space electronic yelps. Fabrizio Mammarella, known for his work on Bear Funk and Dissident, also impresses with the chugging drums, low slung groove and out there effects of "Magnesium."

Review: Robi Insinna aka Headman has been charming all and sundry with his Relish Imprint for about a decade or so now. Here he presents the latest installment in his series on vintage cuts in reworked form. The Unknown Cases' cult 1983 Afrobeat-style grinder "Masimbabele" gets an acidic stomp-a-along rejig, while The Units' cool as ice new-waver "High Pressure Days" is turned into dubbed out electro pop. Gina X's moody homage to Questin Crisp, "No G.D.M." appears twice - first as an old punk funk remix by Headman, and secondly as an underwater post-disco jam by Red Axes. Smokin'!

Review: For Relish's seventh compilation style EP, Headman has gathered together a particularly strong set of tracks for those who like their disco grooves to come with a big dash of post-punk attitude. Sample-obsessed studio bod Sutja Gutierrez leads the way with "I'm Wild, Oh I See", an undeniably hypnotic mid-tempo chugger rich in intoxicating musical elements and foreboding, end-of-days noises. Milanese newcomer Younger Than Me drags the dark Italo and twisted new wave vibes of Curses' "Her Violence Beauty" further towards thrusting peak-time dancefloor territory, while French vocalist and producer Justine lays down a fantastic, minimalist new wave synth-pop cover of Siouxsie and the Banshees' classic "Happy House".

Review: This is Mondowski's second appearance on Robi Insinna's Relish label, and it appears that he is fitting in well with the in-house sound. The title track is percolating disco juggernaut, shimmering with percolating electronics and arpeggiations. It is remixed by Joe Spurgeon and turned into a pared back widescreen epic. "Black Age' is even cooler though - all gothy EBM grooves and loops that are given a stark dressing down courtesy of the legendary techno hero The Hacker. Moody beats are here!
