Review: Russian Balearic beats specialist A Vision of Panorama (real name Mikhail Khvasko) has recorded deliciously sun-soaked music for plenty of labels over the years, though he seems to save his best for boogie and synth-funk revivalists Star Creature. Here he drops his third EP for the popular imprint, and predictably it's another very strong showing. Opener 'Piano Sunset' is simply sublime: a colourful, sun-bright slab of Balearic boogie brilliance smothered in colourful FM synthesiser melodies, jaunty keyboard riffs and mazy piano solos. 'Lost In Palms', meanwhile, sees the St Petersburg-based producer effortlessly join the dots between Balearica, jazz-fusion and jazz-house via loose-limbed jazz breaks, warming bass, kaleidoscopic synth stabs and snaking solos aplenty.

Donnell Pitman, Wings Of Sunshine & Mofak - "Summertime Girls Ft. Anda" (original mix) - (3:52) 95 BPM
Donnell Pitman, Wings Of Sunshine & E. Live - "Get Next To You Ft. Anda" (original mix) - (5:27) 59 BPM
Review: Next month sees the release of Chicago veteran Donnell Pitman's debut long-player 'Brand New Funk' - an album that's long overdue, considering that he made his recording debut way back in 1969! The album's been trailed by a couple of single/EP releases already and now making its debut is 'Tonight', a team-up with (as ever) Chi-town young bloods Wings Of Sunshine as well as the mysterious E.Live and Anda. Once again, smooth and soulful 80s-style boogie is the order of the day, with the package rounded out by four previously released jams: 'Summertime Girls', 'Do You Wanna', 'Get Next To You' and the rawer, funkier 'Joog With Me'.

Donnell Pitman, Wings Of Sunshine & Liquid Pegasus - "Joog With Me" (instrumental mix) - (4:10) 114 BPM
Review: A three-way team-up here between Windy City disco/funk/boogie veteran Donnell Pitman, whose career stretches back to the early 80s, and comparative upstarts Wings Of Sunshine and Liquid Pegasus, who hail from Chicago and California respectively. First out in 2018, 'Joog With Me' has the feel of classic early 80s funk from the likes of Cameo or Defunkt but with modern production values, and so should slot into DJ sets alongside vintage or contemporary cuts with equal ease. To ensure maximum playability it comes accompanied by a matching instrumental, while the package is completed by the more smoochy and soulful 'Do You Wanna'.

Review: Chicago soul vocalist Donnell Pitman made his recording debut in 1969 and for a long time was best known for a couple of sought-after boogie rarities released in the early 80s. In recent years, though, his team-up with Wings Of Sunshine and the Star Creature label has seen his star shining brighter than ever before - so much so that his debut album 'Brand New Funk' will be with us in May. But for now, there's this four-track sampler. Slick, soulful 80s boogie stylings are the order of the day generally, though the standout to these ears is 'Joog With Me', which rocks a slightly rawer, Rick James-like funk vibe.

Review: On its initial vinyl release earlier this year, our sister site Juno Records described this mini-album from electrofunk and synth-boogie revivalist E-Live as, "stunning". We have to agree. As they pointed out, if you have an expansive knowledge of 1980s electronic funk, you'll hear tons of subtle nods towards tons of original era artists and tracks throughout the set's superb original compositions. For proof, check the Fonda Rae style richness of "Boogie For Life", the Herbie Hancock-inspired "Sunny Side Up", the D-Train-ish dancefloor heat of "Rollin' Steady", which also boasts some killer jazz guitar action, and talkbox-sporting P-funk specialist Roger Troutman ("Case of the Shakes"). Simply essential.
