Review: A single-track release here from Infrasoul, who hails from Bogota, Colombia and goes by the name of Juan Acosta in real life. Brought to you by London's Tropical Disco label, 'You've Been On My Mind' more than lives up to the label's name, being a sultry, midtempo jam that's distinguished primarily by three of its components: mournful mariachi-like trumpets, squelchy analogue synths straight out of the early 80s electrofunk playbook, and - lending the track a more contemporary feel - an understated and quite heavily treated male vocal with something of a Hot Chip-ish vibe. A very solid summer groove.

Review: A fairly self-explanatory single-tracker here from German disco stalwart Andreas M?usbacher. who's much better known to the music-buying public as Andy Bach. Brought to you by UK label Tropical Disco, 'Afro Funk' opens with steppy tribal drums that are then underpinned by a 4/4 kick and augmented with hand percussion. A fat-assed bassline and funk guitar chops then usher in vocal wails and organ chords, all of which adds up to a lively little rumpshaker that'll do the do on floors that like it Afro-flavoured without a doubt.

Review: Russian disco doyen Anton Bogomolov, better known as ScruScru, comes to Tropical Disco with two new cuts here. We'll start with 'Coastal Path', an appropriately mellow and meandering number with something of a smooth jazz/jazz-fusion feel (check out that George Benson-esque guitar) - perfect for afternoon sets, summer BBQ's, etc. But it's 'Restaurantica' that provides the EP's real "Omigosh omigosh omigosh!" moment: an all-instrumental affair made up of beats, bass, piano and sax, the utterly jazz-tastic 'Restaurantica' rocks, rolls and rollicks along gloriously from start to finish and is quite possibly ScruScru's finest outing to date. Acquire.

Review: UK veteran Brian Hope's career goes all the way back to winning Scottish DMC championships in the late 80s and turning out Limbo progressive house classic 'Live In Peace' as Tocayo in 1995. These days, though, he's best known for indulging his love of all things funk and disco as Phazed Groove, in which guise he's become a regular on the Tropical Disco label, releasing his debut long-player with them last year and now returning with this lively, carnival-esque, whistle- and conga-infused workout that's topped with harmonised female vocals and assorted whoops and hollers. Rump-shaking will doubtless ensue.

Review: London's Tropical Disco bring us a two-tracker from Frank Virgilio, who's been DJing around Naples and beyond since the early 90s but who only made the leap into production in around 2015 or so. 'The Raja' itself sits on the cusp between house, techno and Italo-disco and sports some female laughter by way of a vocal, but presumably takes its name from the Indian-style percussion that serves as an intro and then reappears in the breakdown and run-out. The accompanying 'This Is The Key', meanwhile, is a chunky house jam topped with what appears to be some Liverpudlian studio chatter.

Review: With 20 tracks to choose from, there's certainly no space to do a full track-by-track rundown of this seasonally themed compilation from London's Tropical Disco. Suffice to say that, while the emphasis is largely on up-and-coming names rather than the usual suspects (though the likes of Reece Johnson, JB Boogie, Corrado Alunni and Infrasoul should be familiar), the quality standard is set high throughout, and those who like their contemporary disco served with hints of Latin, Afro, jazz and/or funk flavas will find much to enjoy here. The sprightly pianos of David Zero's 'Vanilla', Alunni's groove-a-licious 'Funk Decision' and Rafael Yapujian's ker-razy 'Beats And Hats' would all be good places to start, but you should probably just dive on in and find your own faves...

Review: Contrary to what you might be thinking, this isn't a cover of the 1977 Heatwave classic, but rather a brand new composition by Italian DJ/producer Corrado Alunni, whose work has previously graced such labels as Moiss Music, Purple Disco, Black Riot and Peppermint Jam. This 'The Groove Line' tops a simple, driving 4/4 rhythm and fat funk bass with sprightly jazz keys, luxuriant chords, parping horns and a near-falsetto male "can see the sweat on your body... it's getting real hot in here" vocal, and will get even the most discerning asses shaking out on the floor.

Review: Opening with simple, rolling percussion and a touch of synth-bass throb, this latest offering from Maurizio Valenti's MVC Project, brought to you by London's Tropical Disco label, starts out sounding like A.N.Other nu-disco summer jam, but drops down into something a little more musical and satisfying once the lavish piano chords and sprightly horns come out to play, and by the time we've reached the 2.5-minute mark, 80s-style sax and breathy, spoken, French-language female vocal snips are whisking you away to a fantasy island disco of your own imaginings. Like the contrasting male vocal says, "you've got to feel the music"!

Review: Given the seemingly complete lack of information about them online we'll have to assume Fun Kool are newcomers to the scene, but there's nothing amateurish or novice-like about this single-track outing on London-based Tropical Disco. 'Low Toe' leans heavily on the electronic disco of the 80s for inspiration, marrying choppy, glacial synth notes and FX to a phat but understated funk bassline. As the track progresses, some warmer keys come into play along with a hypnotic (but indecipherable) female vocal loop, all of which add up to a slow-builder that'll work well early doors. Let's hope there's more to come.
