You're The One EP
The Silver Rider - "Roundhouse" - (5:36) 122 BPM Hot
The Silver Rider - "You're The One" - (6:25) 120 BPM
Bustin' Loose - "These Ol' Days" - (6:12) 125 BPM
Bustin' Loose - "Home Way Phase" - (6:17) 124 BPM
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").

Holiday Holiday
Holiday Holiday - (7:29) 119 BPM
Dancer - (6:40) 121 BPM
Be My Lover - (5:33) 107 BPM Hot
Review: Three very solid disco/funk re-edits here from Shanghai-based Thoma Cher. The original sources are sadly unknown, but the mid-paced 'Holiday Holiday' is a lightly rolling little groover with hints of barrio funk and tropical disco around the edges, while 'Dancer' is a more down 'n' dirty funker, centred around some rather fine slap bass but topped with a poppy female chorus that pays homage to the roller disco. The EP standout to these ears, though, is 'Be My Lover', a somewhat lower-tempo and altogether more sultry 'n' sexy affair with lavish late 70s-sounding production, a breathy female vocal and something of a late-night, Blaxploitation kinda feel overall.

The Fedora Files
Kjempegreie - (5:24) 126 BPM
Never Gonna Be The Same - (6:59) 130 BPM
True Love - (7:23) 123 BPM Hot
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".

Love Disco EP
Space Love - (8:48) 131 BPM
Love Disco - (6:11) 124 BPM Hot
Inside Lookin In - (5:49) 128 BPM
Waiting On Love - (6:45) 126 BPM
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.

Rosella EP
Rosella - (5:46) 123 BPM Hot
You're The Reason Why - (5:19) 112 BPM
Silk & Satin - (4:53) 128 BPM
One Night In Prague - (6:29) 131 BPM
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.

Harmony EP
21212 - (8:26) 122 BPM
Touch Down - (5:36) 120 BPM
Make Your Move - (6:44) 122 BPM Hot
Harmony (Sleazy Mcqueen 6Am mix) - (6:26) 122 BPM
Review: Four very serviceable slices of contemporary disco/disco-house make up this latest from the Whiskey Disco camp. '21212' is an understated, shufflin' affair with Latin and lounge overtones, then bursts into life with some proper hands-in-the-air piano action. 'Touch Down' then takes us into deeper, mellow territory before 'Make Your Move' brings the good-time disco vibes, with a vaguely 'Disco Inferno'-ish bassline and a looping female "hey babe..." vocal. The EP's completed by the Sleazy McQueen 6am Mix of 'Harmony', a housier jam featuring a microsnip of a Whitney vocal that was famously pilfered by Brothers In Rhythm in the rave days.

Fake News EP
The Silver Rider - "Woman" - (6:51) 125 BPM Hot
The Silver Rider - "Hustle Up" - (6:38) 120 BPM
The Funk District - "Imaki Ra Reo" - (7:35) 124 BPM
The Funk District - "The Root Of Evil" - (6:48) 124 BPM
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.

A New Birth EP
Just As Bad As You - (7:23) 107 BPM Hot
The Prison - (5:50) 106 BPM
I Know I've Been Changed - (8:56) 120 BPM
New York Paris - (5:16) 112 BPM
Review: Four lavish cuts drawing on classic funk, soul and disco make up this EP from Derby's Ant Plate, better known variously as Yse, Yse Saint Laur'ant or Rhythm Plate. 'Just As Bad As You' is a midpaced cut that tops a pulsating funk groove with soaring brass and a full-lunged female soul vocal. 'The Prison' is a mellower, more cinematic affair with a spoken vocal, 'I Know I've Been Changed' is an upbeat stomper on the house/disco cusp and finally 'New York Paris' sees us back in soundtrack-y territory, conjuring images of a late-night cab ride through late 70s mean streets.

Brothers On The Slide EP
Pontchartrain - "La Magie" - (7:33) 119 BPM Hot
Pontchartrain - "Hey Mariposa" - (6:37) 120 BPM
Thatmanmonkz - "Luh Me On Mi Celly" - (6:54) 107 BPM
Thatmanmonkz - "Radiation Steppa" - (5:52) 118 BPM
Review: It may have taken a few months, but Whiskey Disco's latest split EP - a fine affair featuring two reworks apiece from Ponchartrain and Sheffield-based East Midlander Thatmanmonkz - has finally made it to digital download. Pontchartrain steps up first, first offering up the breezy, tropical-sounding disco stomp of "La Magie" - all punchy horns, classic disco bass, fizzing synth lines and glassy-eyed female vocals - before brilliantly reworking an obscure disco/jazz-funk instrumental (the suitably spacey "Hey Mariposa"). Arguably even better is "Luh Me On Mi Celly", the low-slung, stretched-out dub disco revision that counts as thatmanmonkz's first contribution to the EP. His second, "Radiation Steppa", is a fizzing, synth-heavy disco-boogie number blessed with passionate male group vocals.

Pavlova Casanova EP
Like Damn! - (6:36) 127 BPM
Pavlova Casanova - (6:39) 123 BPM
Sandy Shackles - (5:22) 120 BPM Hot
Swirl Inside - (6:48) 114 BPM
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.
