Spa In Disco
Review: On his latest outing for the record label he launched nine years ago, Fran Deeper is in fine form, offering up the kind of attractive, synth-heavy nu-disco jam that has become his forte in recent years. In its' original mix form, 'One Way' cannily combines rising and falling synthesiser lead lines with unfussy drums, metronomic dub disco bass, arpeggio style electronics, echoing vocal snippets and bubbly electronic melodies. It comes backed with two decent remixes: a piano-heavy Balearic nu-disco workout from long-serving Argentine producer Julian Sanza, and a slightly deeper and even more colourful rework courtesy of Sauco.

Review: Fran Deeper's Spa in Disco label is now 11 years old. To celebrate, the popular nu-disco imprint has unveiled this celebratory compilation. Andy Buchan gets things going in fine style via the mid-tempo nu-disco-meets-classic-house flex of 'House Party (Disco Version)', before Chewy Rubs drops some Soundstream-esque loopy disco-house ('Feel Good Factor') and Frank Virgilo takes a similar tack on 'Never Too Late'. From then on, it's a joyous sprint to the finish, with hands-aloft outings courtesy of Funk Hunk and others being joined by killer cuts courtesy of Juan Laya & Jorge Montiel (the rubbery bass guitar-propelled 'Funk Supreme'), Hiva & Funky Junkie (the hard-wired disco-funk of 'Hola') and Shakavoy (the party-starting 'Get Funky').

Review: St Petersburg-based producer Pavel Svetlove has built up quite a discography over the past dozen years or so, chalking up releases on the likes of Music Is The Answer, Moiss Music, King Street Sounds and, of course, Spa In Disco, to which label he now returns with a killer single-tracker. If you like your house on the jazzier side, your jazz on the funkier side and your funk on the housier side then you need 'Funny Walking' in your virtual record box: with neatly clipped beats, parping sax, sprightly pianos and some ker-razy wigged-out Hammond action, it's got everything you need to get the party started, and then some.

Review: It's a brave producer indeed who samples, covers or re-edits the mighty Chic, but that clearly didn't deter rising Australian star Charly Angelz, who's used a couple of resung lines from 'Le Freak' as the basis for 'About Disco'. And for that we should be thankful, because with its sinuous funk bassline, jazzy Rhodes licks, luxuriant chords and stabby strings, 'About Disco' is really rather charming. It's worth nothing that, just three years into her production career, Ms Angelz has already chalked up releases on Nervous, Plastik People, HOUPH, Moiss, Delve Deeper and more - impressive stuff!

Review: Space In Disco's latest single-track missive comes courtesy of Old Chap, a confirmed label hopper (and sometime re-edit specialist) with releases on Hot Digits, Masterworks Music, Duchesse and Mois Music to his name. 'Calypso Groove' is an infectious, bass-heavy affair in which tropical-sounding melodic motifs, a one-note piano riff, lo-fi organ licks, warming chords and pots-and-pans percussion rise above an addictive bassline and rolling disco drums. With its extended, groove-based intro and perfectly pitched breakdown, the track not only sounds great in the mix but also does everything you want it to from a dancefloor perspective.

Review: Nu-disco's number one (imaginary) wookiee returns to Spa in Disco with a one-shot missive, 'Discopia'. Beginning with glistening guitar notes and suspenseful synth strings rising above a Giorgio Moroder/Bobby Orlando style bassline, the track is driving and dancefloor-ready but also surprisingly jazzy thanks to the presence of some seriously attractive jazz guitar licks. Throw in some choice vocal snippets, a couple of lovely breakdowns and snappy drum machine percussion that subtly builds in intensity as the track progresses, and you have a gloriously addictive, endlessly entertaining workout that should get plenty of plays during the summer festival season.

Review: Spa in Disco main man and long-serving nu-disco/house fusionist Fran Deeper is in fine form on 'Funky Moment', a mid-tempo affair that more than lives up to the promise of its title. Built around a bubbly, low-slung groove rich in rubbery bass guitar and skittish drum machine percussion, the track comes laden with snaking sax lines, spacey synths and just the right amount of intergalactic intent. Ladies On Mars kicks off the accompanying remix package with a warming, rolling nu-disco revision that adds in some razor-sharp synth strings and a touch more peak-time potential, before rising star Andy Buchan smothers it in crispy disco-funk guitars and even more spacey synth sounds. To round off the EP, Sauco delivers a take that joins the dots between dub disco and revivalist electrofunk.

Review: Chewy Rubs teams up once more with on/off collaborator North Lane on this two-tracker for Spa In Disco, with predictably solid results. 'L"Cocomotion' itself is up first, opening with a simple lolloping, bass-led funk groove, with a breathy, chorus'd female "do it, do it good... dance L'Cocomotion now" chant that comes in halfway through by way of a vocal. The standout to these ears, though, is the accompanying 'Shot Of Love', a slightly more driving and uptempo affair in which a diva vocal and a hefty funk b-line meet up down the disco and make some beautiful music together...

Review: Two mixes to choose from of this latest offering from Luca Roccatagliati, AKA DJ Rocca, an Italian scene veteran whose career got underway back in the 90s. In its Original form, 'Manny's Pancakes' marries a sci-fi/Theremin-link synth squeal to some subtle jazz piano licks and intricate percussion with a vague Afro-Cuban feel, while the Vocal Remix from Lex (Athens) adds a spoken male vocal courtesy of one Mike Montano. The latter mix has a dreamier feel and is probably the one for peaktime play, while the more energetic Original should help you get 'em warmed up nicely.

Rayko feat Elena Hikari
Review: Ever-prolific Spanish disco don Rayko is joined once again by regular vocal collaborator Elena Hikari on an EP for Spa In Disco that packs two markedly contrasting cuts. 'Testify' itself is a slice of strutty, attitude-y nu-disco that's almost got something of a mid-00s Nag Nag Nag kinda feel, only with smoother edges... it's a cut that could well cross over onto pop floors, and if such was indeed the aim then the nods to Madge's 'Justify' probably won't hurt either! The tempo then drops right down for the hazy, Balearic 'A Different Day', which has echoes of early AMCA in its juxtaposition of dreamy fem vox and fat, squelchy bass.

Review: For the latest missive on his popular and prolific Spa In Disco label, Fran Deeper has joined forces with sometime label artist and semi-regular Rayko collaborator Manuel Costela. The pair's original mix is thickset and groovy - a warming, bass-heavy, mid-tempo chunk of nu-disco/summery deep house fusion smothered in rolling percussion, stargazing chords, twinkling effects and languid, laidback synthesiser flourishes. Athenian producer and Leng Records regular Lex reaches for Wurlitzer style organ sounds on his chunkier, marginally more up-tempo remix, dragging the track a little closer to peak-time dancefloors in the process, while James Bright's EP-closing version is brighter, breezier and undeniably more electronic -a sparkling nu-disco workout that should put a fair few smiles on faces when dropped at the right time.

Review: Spa In Disco boss Fran Deeper has been responsible for some sizzling music over the last few years, with both original productions and peak-time-ready re-edits on the menu. The Spanish producer's latest single seemingly sits somewhere between the two camps, with 'Sunglasses' delivering a sun-soaked instrumental disco workout rich in echo-laden trumpet solos, Nile Rodgers style guitar licks, Bernard Edwards-esque bass and characterful Clavinet lines. It comes backed with two remixes: a more Clavinet and guitar-heavy house-not-house workout (complete with a spine-tingling breakdown) from Matteo Matteini, and a joyous, life-affirming piano-house take courtesy of Sauco.

Review: Fran Deeper's Spanish nu-disco label come up with the goods once again! This four-tracker opens with 'Acidi Cocktail', a Moroder-esque throbber but with hints, too, of early prog, as well as the 303 flecks you're already expecting. 'Brain Chords' comes on like classic early 90s NJ garage given a 21st Century makeover (and nods to the Peech Boys to boot), while 'Do It Today', with its squelchy 303 bassline and rinky-tink pianos, pays homage to the early house sound of Chicago. The gloriously authentic-sounding 70s disco of 'With You' then closes out what is a very fine EP indeed.

Review: Mexican producer Juan Soto - not to be confused with the major league baseball star of the same name! - comes to Fran Deeper's Mallorca-based label with two slices of contemporary disco. 'Miento Sin Resentimiento' comes on like late 70s Talking Heads jamming with synth-pop pioneers Landscape, topping a motorik rhythm and analogue synth sounds with a new wave-y male vocal. The accompanying, oddly titled 'Oh, Ziggy Will You Ever Win?' looks to the boogie/electrofunk era for inspiration, with handclaps galore and a gloriously 80s-sounding bassline. Both tracks do a fine job of taking nostalgic/retro sounds and making them sound remarkably fresh.

Review: Spa In Disco bring us a nu-disco collection that dares to push the envelope a little - many of the tracks here will work just as well on deep, progressive and even tech-house floors as they will in straight-up nu-disco sets. Tony Disco's big 'n' beefy 'Pistolero', for instance, should go down a storm pretty much wherever shapes are thrown to stomping beats and hefty basslines, while LaFrench Toast's 'Spaceball' wouldn't sound out of place on 3am Recordings, Downunder Disco's 'Way Up High' is a dreamy, space-y post-club classic in waiting and Molinaar's 'Cruus' could even slot into more uptempo minimal techno sets. A pleasingly varied, highly enjoyable compilation.

Review: As the title suggests, Spa In Disco's latest multi-artist extravaganza is aimed aquarely at dancefloors, though in these times is more likely to inspire bedroom DJs to dance around their kitchens or living rooms. There's plenty to get the juices flowing amongst the eight tracks on show. Check first the rubbery bass, sparkling pianos and summery nu-disco vibes of Future Feelings' rushing "Bold Drink", before turning your attention to the revivalist Italo-disco chug of Sauco's "Orion" and the hard-wired, acid-flecked analogue chug of Ilya Santana's superb "Obscure". Highlights elsewhere on the EP include the revivalist electrofunk chunkiness of Juan Soto's "Oh Ziggy, Will You Ever Win", the dreamy Balearic breakdowns of Rayko's "Jungle" and the up-beat nu-disco cheeriness of Aimes' "Caf? Disco".

Review: Nine highly enjoyable slices of contemporary funk and disco here courtesy of Fran Deeper's Mallorca-based Spa In Disco. Some of the artists are well-known, at least in the appropriate circles (C Da Afro, Funk District, Monsieur Van Pratt); some are less so, while there's one genuine first-gen survivor in the form of Spiteri, a legendary Venezuelan player who gave London's 70s disco scene a dose of Latin flava. Don't expect too much in the way of radical reinvention - these grooves are so faithful to the sounds of the 70s that we had to check a few of 'em weren't actually 40 years old! - but the standard throughout is impeccable.

Review: Chewy Rubs productions are usually heavily sampled-based, but there's enough original work gone into them that to label them simply as re-edits would be unfair. 'You Can Get It', for instance, loops up a chunk of vocal from Instant Funk's 1978 Salsoul classic 'I Got My Mind Made Up', but pairs it with an insistent Italo-esque bass throb. The other three tracks are all instrumentals: 'Over The Boarder' nods to west coast jazz-funk, 'On The Move' recaptures some of the irresistible exuberance of Chewy's own 'Sombrero' from last year and 'Lush' has an 80s Euro feel... but in a good way.

Review: It had to happen eventually! Two leading lights of the Spanish nu-disco scene, Rare Wiri main man Rayko and Spa In Disco boss Fran Deeper, come together on one EP with predictably high-quality results. In its Original form, 'Desestabilidad' is a hypnotic, pulsating cut in which a big fat squelchy bassline throbs away at the bottom end while arpeggiated synths shimmer and sparkle on top. Alex Arcocha provides a dreamy, Balearic-leaning house remix, while if you need a more stripped-back n' dubby pass for small-hours play, then see the second remix, which comes from the currently on-fire Manuel Costela.

Review: Irish nu-disco producer Stephen Richards comes to Spa In Disco, the Spanish label set up in 2012 by Palma, Mallorca native Fran Deeper. 'Coming Up' is a mid-paced, chuggy affair, but still has plenty of surging dancefloor energy and sports a vocoder vocal repeating the title, while the pace is upped considerably on funky, percussive disco-houser 'Coming On Down'. The title track then gets remixed by Rayko and MI.RO: the former rub has that sultry 80s feel for which the Spanish don is known, while the latter is a dark, synth-y pass that will drag 'Coming Up' onto floors that favour all things cosmic and Italo.

Review: Sometime Disco Fruit, Midnight Riot and Re-Love artist Frank Virgilio wants us to shake our booty. Helpfully, he's provided two fresh cuts guaranteed to make us follow those instructions to the letter. Title track "Shake Your Ass" is particularly potent, with Virgilio offering up a tasty rearrangement of a floor-friendly old Afro-Disco cut rich in Tony Allen style dryms, heavy bass guitar, spoken vocal snippets, punchy horns, jaunty organ and distinctive guitar riffs. He tweaks the formula a little on "What Is Love", adding snippets of vocals previously sampled by De-Lite to a slightly tooled-up backing track that sits somewhere between house, disco and fuzzy Latin soul. It's a sweaty summer workout for those who want a bit of audio sunshine to brighten up a murky autumnal day.

Review: For the latest missive on his largely reliable Spa In Disco imprint, Mallorca-based DJ/producer Fran Deeper has turned to a lesser-known talent, label debutant French Toast. There's little solid info online about the artist, but we can confirm that "Didgeridoo" is rather good. It's not a nu-disco cover of the Aphex Twin cut of the same name (though that would be pretty cool), but rather a sleazy late night ITalo-disco workout rich in faintly foreboding arpeggio lines, mangled male vocal snippets and spiraling electronics. Atlantico House Caribe delivers the obligatory remix, adding extra bongos and congas and a few droning didgeridoo noises to make a tough and trippy workout even more psychedelic.

Review: Now relocated to Mallorca from Mexico, Spa In Disco bring us two cuts that'd work in deep house or disco sets alike, albeit we're definitely at the more experimental, synth-y end of either spectrum. 'Gatta' itself opens with a muted kick and hand percussion before introducing the throbbing, Italo-ish synth line that plays throughout, augmented by big bass vamps, trippy synth-strings and more frantic percussion work. 'Forests Wind' is a more stripped-back affair made up a laaaa-rge synth bassline, shakers galore, other assorted hand percussion and several competing keyboard parts. Quirky stuff that defies easy categorisation.

Review: Smiling nu-disco producer Andy Buchan made a big impression in 2017, thanks in no small part to well-received releases on Thunder Jam, Chopshop and Disco Fruit. Here he pops up on Spa in Disco following tasty 2018 outings on Hot Digits and Masterworks Music. "Future Robot" is something of a rushing, life-affirming treat, with waves of Italo-disco style synths, P-funk squiggles and robotic vocoder vocals rising above a snappy nu-disco beat. Dubai's Don Dayglow does a solid job on the remix, emphasizing the track's Italo-disco influences via a bld and druggy new arpeggio style bassline. To complete the package, Bunchanan takes his scalpel to No Smoke's 1989 UK Afro-house classic "Koro Koro", somehow making it even more percussive and bass-heavy.

Review: Originally started in Mexico, Fran Deeper now runs the Spa In Disco imprint out of Mallorca in Spain. Over the last few years has brought us some killer jams by the likes of Rayko, Super Agente 86, Jose Hdez and David Manso to name but a few. It is now over to Italian guy in Bristol Kiu D with the Small Steps EP. Beginning with the deeply percussive nu-disco joint that is the title track, "Smoke" gets all sexy and housey on us in a very late night fashion. "Wiper & True" gets some Kaidi Tatham style nu-jazz soul vibes into the mix: that Herbie Hancock style synth bass really doing the business. Finally, there's a remix by the formerly Dubai based Brit Andy Buchan with an irresistible nu-disco makeover of "Small Steps".

Review: Brooklyn's nu-disco hero Aimes (aka Aman Elli) has delivered plenty of hot dancefloor jams for labels like Wonder Stories and here he is with another, "Smiling Faces" on Spa In Disco. His original mix is a really slick slice of sunset boogie, with driving punk-funk bass and catchy vocal refrains. First up on remix duty is Rayko who adds a more melodic bassline to the mix, resulting in a cool joint that echoes early Noughties electro-disco. Elsewhere Mordisco turns in some excellent moody tech-house with lashings of pan pipes and lastly Alex Malos delivers a reliable and sturdy disco-house rework.

Review: Good Stuff Recordings regular Vicmoren makes his first appearance on Spa In Disco. "Flash Funk" very much lives up to its name, with the producer combining Daft Punk style dynamics - think synth-bass that sounds like slap-bass and "Da Funk" style riffs - with all manner of jammed-out synthesizer lines, unfussy drum machine beats and plenty of quirky vocal stabs. Old pals and regular collaborators the J&M Brothers provide the obligatory remix, adding rich Rhodes chords and additional percussive sweatiness. The resultant rework is a little closer to disco-tinged deep house in feel, but still retains much of the original version's leasing eccentricity.

This release for Spa In Disco is arguably has most expansive and polished collection of original tracks yet.
