Review: Austin's Silver Rider returns to Whiskey Disco with his fourth split EP for the label, this time in cahoots with South London oppo Bustin' Loose. The pair contribute two re-edits apiece, though sadly the only source we can identify is Skyy's 'First Time Around' (1979), which forms the basis for 'Roundhouse'. Elsewhere, 'You're The One' bites an unidentified, male-voiced 80s soul/boogie jam, 'Those Ol' Days' is a laidback funk-soul groove with a "one thing" female vocal loop while 'Home Way Phase' is more energetic and rocks another looped female vocal ("my past experience has taught me what I know now").

Review: Sleazy McQueen's Whiskey Disco label bring us a three-track re-edits EP from Norwegian disco producer Rulefinn. The original source for lead cut 'Kjempegreie' remains sadly a mystery to us, but it's an uptempo number that marries chanted Afro-style vox to plinky-plonk, 80s-sounding synths. Elsewhere, 'Never Gonna Be The Same' reworks the Ruth Waters cut of that title from 1978, while James Wells' 'True Love Is My Destiny' from the same year provides the basis for 'True Love', with both tracks exuberant, uplifting affairs that are best suited to those who regularly use the phrase "gloriously camp".

Review: Robert Ouimet has some serious pedigree - the Montreal native has been manning the booths of Canadian discotheques since the early 70s! It's not entirely clear whether the four tracks featured here - which are finally getting a digital release after dropping on vinyl last year - are original productions or re-edits. If they fall into the latter camp, then he's dug admirably deep for source material, but then he's uniquely positioned to do so; if they're original cuts he's captured that mid-late 70s disco vibe perfectly but then, again, that's hardly surprising! Either way, this is some real-deal shizzle right here.

Review: Finnigan Langham AKA Kayroy made his Whiskey Disco debut 19 months ago via a must-check collection of club-ready re-edits. This belated sequel sees the fast-rising producer offer up more heavyweight reworks that somehow manage to dub-out, layer-up and rearrange classic cuts without adding any cheap new bits or contemporary production trickery. He begins by turning a classic Crown Heights Affair sing-along into a head-mangling dub disco instrumental ("Rosella"), before cannily building pressure via slowly changing loops on the saucer-eyed disco sweetness of "You're The Reason Why". "Silk & Satin" is an energetic, electric guitar solo-sporting disco-funk romp, while closing cut "One Night In Prague" is a brilliantly breathless revision of a truly bonkers Euro-disco-meets-heavy-rock number.

Review: A cross-border collaboration here as Austin, Texas-based nu disco producer The Silver Rider joins forces with his Mexican counterpart Fernando Mendoza, AKA The Funk District, for a split EP on Whiskey Disco. The Silver Rider brings us 'Woman', a pacey, looping funk groove with a neat line in rasping bass and spoken, Euro-style vox, and 'Hustle Up', which comes on like a Blaxploitation funk jam. Then it's over to The Funk Rider for 'Imaki Ra Reo', a lively, Latin-leaning affair with a hefty bottom end and some truly wild sax blasts, and 'The Root Of Evil', which like 'Hustle Up' has an understated, soundtrack-y feel.

Review: Four slices of sumptuous modern disco here from Melbourne's Kayroy, brought to you by Florida's Whiskey Disco. 'Like Damn!', up first, rocks the early 70s barrio funk vibes, with wukka-wukking geetar, frantic percussion and fat funk bass topped with a chanted female vocal to start before a full soul vocal and soaring brass break out later on. 'Pavlova Casanova' itself operates in similar territory and sports a chopped 'n' looped female "you've got the power of love over me" vocal, 'Sandy Shackles' has more of a lounge-y, Eurodisco feel, while closer 'Swirl Inside' maintains the lounge-y vibe with chorus'd vox and some gloriously cheesy analogue synth sounds.

Review: When this fine four-tracker appeared on vinyl last autumn, it marked Vicnenzo de Bull's first solo release following a string of contributions to compilation style releases on Queen and Disco, Kolour Ltd and Masterworks Music. It's well worth picking up this digital download edition, not least for the loopy, filter rich disco-house celebration that is peak-time smasher "Champ 1". The fun continues elsewhere across the EP, from the smooth, boogie-goes-house sensuality of "In Love", to the rubbery bounce of "That Same Old Feeling", a chunky revision of a dewy-eyed disco-funk number full of rolling beats, tactile vocal samples and crunchy Clavinet lines. Whiskey Disco rarely disappoints, but this is one of the imprint's best releases for some time.

Review: Via a series of riotous re-edit EPs on Basic Fingers, the Patchouli Brothers have quickly established themselves as purveyors of high quality, party-starting fare. It's little surprise to find that the Toronto twosome's Whiskey Disco debut is packed with cracking cuts, too. First turn your attention to elastic EP opener "He Wonders" - a starburst of exotic synth lines, misty-eyed vocals, bouncy beats and rubbery bass guitar - before shaking your rump to the horn-heavy deep disco-funk flex of "A Mighty Joy". "Can't Stop Christy" is a beacon of hot-stepping tropical disco warmth, while "Take You There" serves up some seriously soaring classic disco.

Review: Sleazy McQueen presents another wicked serving of Disco deviance on the always reliable Whiskey Disco. The North Carolina based imprint's 57th edition gives us four more surefire disco edits by the likes of Tony Chocoloney from Melbourne, Australia who gives us some funked-up soulpower on "Less Groove", Ukrainian Alex Zuiev gives us a loungey kinda something' on the tres chic "Valentina" and Anthony Mansfield delivers an unrepentant use of sleek filter sweeps throughout the slo-mo antics of "It's Too Late" featuring a bit of help from good buddy DJ M3.

Review: Whiskey Disco's latest four-track salvo acts as a showcase for two long-term friends of the label and occasional contributors. Osmose handles the virtual A-side, enthusiastically jumping in at the deep end via the muscular, peak-time San Francisco disco pump of "My Body" before reaching for the crunchy Clavinet lines on dubbed-out, mid-tempo roller "Oh Midnight". Not to be outdone, Thoma Cher brilliantly loops up and teases out a familiar disco favourite on the peak-time bounce of "All You Need" (once the vocal drops, you'll have whipped your shirt off and be dancing on the nearest table) before unveiling a fantastic impression of The Revenge (circa his early slo-mo disco-house outings) on the hazy and hypnotic "Fright Night".

Review: For the latest offering from the Whiskey Disco stable, Is It Disco?, label boss Sleazy McQueen has decided on making it a 'more the merrier' affair. As a result we get six disco heads over the course of 4 tracks. Olivier Boogie kicks off with the edgy and live vibes of the Michael Zager-style anthem "No Goodbye", the neon arpeggios of Alkalino's Italo-disco jam, "Cosmic Disko" and the hazy, afternoon heatwave Balearica of "Something About" by Thoma Cher.

Review: A heavyweight amongst the re-edit scene, Sleazy McQueen's Whiskey Disco label is back with some seriously sizzling boogie. First up is Rastanils who delivers his 2016 edit of "What You Are". It's a pumped up late 70s jam, full of elastic bass, hysterical strings and passionate vocals. Next is "I Like It" by Corsican Brothers and it's a gem of deep, early 80s electronic boogie, with the synth bass tweaked and brought to the fore of the mix. "Disco Chopper" sees Albion tackle a super-obscure Italo Disco robot rocker and it's back to the 70s for the raunchy, bluesy funk of "Big Time" by RuleFinn.

Review: Dutch DJ and producer Olivier Boogie has been doing his thing in Amsterdam, largely without credit, for the best part of a decade. He's previously released both original productions and re-edits, with two contributions to a split Lumberjacks In Hell release back in 2012 standing out. Here he returns - at long last - with an edit EP of his own for Whiskey Disco. There's naturally much to admire, from the soaring strings, undulating bass and disco-funk hustle of "Got To Have Loving" and jaunty Rodriguez re-rub "Can't Get Away" being particularly potent. He also delivers a dash of head-nodding boogie ("You Know Who"), and turns a little-known funk jam into a shuffling house hustler ("Lost In The Crowd").
