Africa We Dance 2EXCLUSIVE
Played by: FINGERMAN, Juno Recommends Disco, D-Funk, Discoholic Ken, Dave Mathmos, Stephen Richards (DiscoDaze), Andy Buchan, Petko Turner
Review: No prizes for guessing what's going on here, as Vehicle serve up five re-edits of classic African or at least African-inspired recordings from days gone by. First to get the treatment is Manu Dibango's 'Weya' from 1973, followed by Osibisa's 'Jumbo' from 1980, Michael Kiwanuka's 'Black Man In A White World' from 2016, Cumbia Moderna de Soledad's 'Shacalao' from 1975 and finally The Lijadu Sisters' 'Bayi L'ense' from 1977. If you're looking to freshen up your Afro-flavoured sets, this EP should do the job nicely.

V's Edits / Various
Yellow BluesEXCLUSIVE
Review: Valique's V's Edits reworks have long been some of the most popular re-edits on this platform, with DJs responding not only to their floor-friendly nature but also the wide range of sounds and styles he turns his hand to. So, what's on offer this time around? Well, for starters Yellow Blues is raising money for victims of the war in Ukraine, a country to which Valique has family ties. As usual, it's a mixed bag of goodness, with highlights including a squelchy, TB0-303 speckled take on a Johnny Cash classic, the chugging nu-disco/swamp blues fusion of 'Was It Worth It?', a fine revision of Rodrigues classic 'You Can't Get Away', a housed-up tweak of an old Doors gem ('Learn To Forget') and a toe-tapping, club-ready revision of Kenny Rogers' sing-along 'Just Dropped In (to See What Condition My Conidtion is In)'.

The Best Of The Virus YearEXCLUSIVE
Review: Scalpel-wielding rework maestro V (the artist formerly known as funk-breaks sort Valique) has been more prolific than usual this year, with the numerous pandemic lockdowns and rules allowing him more time at home working on his popular cut-jobs. As a result, his latest annual 'best of' collection is packed to the rafters with tasty treats. There's plenty of variety too, with the long-serving editor leaping between guitar-heavy workouts ('B-Ware', Deep Purple tweak 'Hush'), weighty '80s synth-pop (Billy Idol re-rub 'White Wed'), beefed-up krautrock (the cowbell-laden heaviness of 'Vitamin D', a tweak of one of Can's most popular tunes), glassy-eyed disco (the Clavinet-heavy 'Little Love') and sleazy, pitched-down glam-rock ('Jewelry').

Neo-Blues (V's Edits Vol 18)EXCLUSIVE
Played by: Valique, Juno Recommends Disco, Tonbe, J&M BROTHERS, Moustache Love, DJ P-SOL, Dejan "Funky Junkie" Gavr
Review: Valique once more dons his popular V's Edits guise for another trip into Balearic rework territory. This 18th installment in the long-running series has a "neo-blues" theme, offering the former funk breaks man a chance to deliver suitably dancefloor-friendly interpretations of cuts by Muddy Waters, BB King, The Doors and Rodriguez (a tasty re-arrangement of the 'Sugar Man's "Can't Get Away"). Interestingly, he also turns Dire Straits' radio-friendly, solo-heavy "Sultans of Swing" into a loose, tech-influenced house jam. Elsewhere, look out for a house-goes-breaks-goes-Balearic take on "Horse With No Name" (here titled "Has The Name"), and the bluesy powder house flex of "Daymallah".

Review: What more can we possibly say about nu-disco producer Valique and his two-year bootleg/edit/mash-up blitzkreig that we haven't already said? Listening back over these 31 offerings it becomes apparent that this is simply the soundtrack to one seriously mighty party. There are simply just so many dancing-on-tables moments here (we'll let him away with some of the shockers) including the grooved up DM cover "Personal Jesus" by Johnny Cash, the surreal, intoxicating deep disco take on Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" and the dreamy paradise melodies of "Still You". Here's to the next couple of years!

V's Edits Vol 8EXCLUSIVE

Review: Last time round, nu-disco producer Valique went all out pop for his choice of re-edit material. Here he's thankfully chosen to explore more obscure material for these six tracks. '70s disco seems to be the main source of inspiration, highlights of which include the futuristic auto-funk of "Machine" (by the Jackson 5), the tightly clipped percussive riffs of "Bear's Holiday" and the sleazy Euro disco of "Still You".

Traffick Edits Vol 1EXCLUSIVE
Played by: Valique, Dave Allison (Editorial), Dynamicron (Los Grandes/Our Nights), DJ P-SOL, Marathon Edits
Review: Of late the Vehicle label has almost totally focused on output from Russian producer Valique. Here though, the spotlight switches to P Sol who seizes the disco baton with both hands. "Groove On" kicks things with a filtered funky riff and hands-in-the-air soul samples, "Love How You Feel" is deep, raw body music, "Love Me Right" is a tight electronic grind, and "Reboter" wraps things up the boogie with some clap-a-long silliness.

V's edits Vol 7EXCLUSIVE
Played by: Valique, RedSoul, FINGERMAN, Zamali, Jayl Funk, Richard Rossa, The Funk Hunters, TURNTILL, Dynamicron (Los Grandes/Our Nights), DJ P-SOL, Marathon Edits, Killer Funk Disco Digital US
Review: Is it an original or isn't it nu-disco producer Valique eschews the ambiguity for this, his latest instalment of re-edits. He really is in a pop mood this time, tackling the likes of Duran Duran's Nile Rodgers-produced homage to William Burroughs, "Wild Boys" which gets extended and given an extra hi-NRG bassline to boot. Elsewhere ELO's "Last Train To London" gets made over into an infectious, if unrecognisable, electro-house belter and Daft Punk's "Lose Yourself To Dance" gets stretched out into nearly eight minutes of funk joy.

V's Edits Vol 6EXCLUSIVE
Played by: Valique, FINGERMAN, Flash Atkins, Juno Recommends Disco, 80's Child, Killer Funk Disco Digital US
Review: Valique returns with another instalment of his ever-popular V's Edits series. As usual, it's jam-packed with party-friendly gear that shows enough reverence to the source material to appease the heads. There are a couple of delightfully warm and dewy-eyed soul moments (see "It's (Never) Too Late" and the Philly soul gorgeousness of singalong fave "It Takes A Minute"), some head-nodding, "Hustle"-era disco-boogie ("Belly Boogie", which features a delightfully dubbed-out percussive breakdown in the middle), a dash of hard-edged, Italo-influenced, acid-tinged electrofunk ("One Step"), a riotous Johnny Cash rework ("Believer"), and some hippy-ish '60s funk-rock ("Hush"). Plenty to get the juices flowing, in other words.

Played by: Valique
Review: Having initially started his career as a maker of disco-tinged party breaks, Valique has spent the last couple of years impressing with his cheeky V's Edits bootlegs. Here he returns to original production with a three-track E.P of summery goodness for his own Vehicle imprint. As usual, there's an emphasis on low-end wobble, with heavy basslines underpinning a variety of shimmering, nu-disco influenced grooves. Choose between the darting synths, stylish grooves and soaring disco strings of "Supposed", the bumping, lowdown disco-house of "Spelling", and the woozy hustle of cut-up deep house bumper "Wouldn't Explain".

V's Edits Vol 5EXCLUSIVE
Played by: Valique, FINGERMAN, Chudy, Dave Allison (Editorial), Superbreak, Juno Recommends Disco, B-Dub, Alessandro Otiz, The Funk Hunters, Reed & Radley
Review: Russian producer Valique is back with the latest installment of his successful disco edit series. He specialises in toughened, quanitised beats, lending old stuff a modern electro-house groove. Highlights here include his highly danceable take on The Smiths' "Barbarism Begins At Home", the skippy, cut up house shuffle of "Angry Brides" and the infectious electro-funk anthem "Like Dancing".

V's Edits Vol 4EXCLUSIVE
Played by: Homegroove Project, Andrea Rucci, Valique, Dave Allison (Editorial), Juno Recommends Disco, D-Funk, Miles Reverse, Reed & Radley
Review: Following the success of the first three volumes of his AOR-tinged V's Edits series, Russian producer Valique (best known under his usual pseudonym for disco-flecked funk breaks) unleashes another EP of scalpel jobs. This time, the sources are a little more obscure (the silly artist names offer clues), but the party-starting remit remains. So, we get some chunky low-slung, Fleetwood Mac-ish rock ("Because"), a dash of hustling disco-funk ("Up"), a sprinkling of synth-bass laden funk-rock ("Soul Francisco"), a thickset house version of a soul classic ("Good Or Bad") and a big chunk of '90s US garage silliness ("Love You Too") - all tweaked and teased with an eye on dancefloor devastation.

V Edits Vol 3EXCLUSIVE
Review: On his previous two releases, this shady re-edit guy, only known as 'V', caused many a cough and splutter within production circles over his decision to re-work largely well-known commercial hits. Maybe he's taken this on board, as here his selection is a lot less recognizable. "Miracles" is certainly identifiable as "I Believe In Miracles", but he's used the lesser know original by Mark Cappani as source material. Elsewhere, Betty Everett's "Hey Lucinda" gets almost doubled in length and Natalie Cole debut "Everlasting Love" gets stripped back. Bigger names do surface later though, including Nina Simone's "I'm Going Back Home" and even T.Rex's "Children Of The Revolution".

Review: The mysterious V has got some balls. You see, it's common practice in re-edit circles to steer clear of certain big tunes and artists. V clearly didn't get the memo, because this second volume of party-hearty, floor-filling reworks contains sneaky dubs of tracks by Steve Miller (a smile-inducing version of "Fly Like An Eagle"), the Sex Pistols (a filter-heavy tweak of "Anarchy In The UK"), The Lovin' Spoonful ("Summer In The City") and The Beach Boys ("Good Vibrations", which gets a weirdly breaksy Balearic rework). Better, though, are the versions of the more disco and funk-inclined material. His Betty Wright rework ("Slip & Do It") is particularly magical.

Review: Anyone who decides to dedicate a fair chunk of his debut edits release to scalpel cuts of tracks from Led Zeppelin, Jefferson Airplane and Stevie Wonder must have gonads the size of watermelons. Sitting down could be an uncomfortable proposition, then, for the mysterious V, whose seven-track debut EP also includes chunky, floor-friendly re-tweaks of The Kinks and Sly & The Family Stone (as well as a couple of stonking disco bangers). While some would argue that much of the material here didn't need messing with, he's done an excellent job. The Dub of "Whole Lotta Love", for example, is pitched just right, offering much more bang and exactly the right amount of disco dubbiness.
