The Reworks Vol 2EXCLUSIVE
Played by: DJ LAUREL, FINGERMAN, ROMANTO (YSR / DISCO MACHINE), Disco Tech (DiscoDat), Juno Recommends Disco, MR ABSOLUTT, Kongisto, Mark van der Ree
Review: Long-serving producer Disco Tech has released more edits and reworks over the years than we've had hot dinners. Remarkably, he still continues to deliver on-point revisions - as this second volume in his ongoing 'Reworks' EP series proves. There's much to admire across the six tracks on show, from the atmospheric, slow-burn excellence of AOR disco revision 'Stars In The Ghetto' and the dub-funk wonder that is the James Brown-sampling 'Boss', to the peak-time '80s disco sing-along 'Take Time' and the on-point Clash dub disco revision 'Magnificent'. We also recommend 'Be With You', a deliciously groovy, dubbed-out take on a Doc Severinsen track that has long been a DJ Harvey favourite.

Fungi MamaEXCLUSIVE
Played by: Kongisto
Review: Montenegro-based rework maestro Mitiko (real name Sasha Mitich) has been a busy boy this year, with this EP-turned-mini album marking his sixth missive of 2024 to date. There's plenty to get the blood pumping and the feet moving across the seven tracks on show, from the lightly housed up vocal disco rush of 'Along With You' and the filter-sporting Afro-disco joy of 'Fungi Mama', to the slow-motion disco-funk headiness of 'Ghost' and the build-and-release excellence of the stomping, string-laden peak-time disco of 'Peak At You'. Those seeking mid-tempo thrills are catered for via 'Get Up and Boogie', while 'Latin Hustle' is a memorable revision of a Spanish language dancefloor gem.

Happy Jams EPEXCLUSIVE
Review: Shabi's DOBRO jams continue with Happy Jams that are undeniably exactly that, much what these times need. Pushing a classic house tip with good vibes pads, sample selections, loops and tricks, Shabi gets '90s old school and French touch in his kicking title track. "Let's Talk Dancin'" offers some similar tricks, holding down a groove with a vocal hook to boot, while "I Feel It Comin'" does something some more soul and R&B. "Disco Party" throws down some classic percussion and a walking bassline while "C'mon Let's Fly" may as well be Fred Falke back in the mix. French house style!

Katakana Edits Vol 144EXCLUSIVE
Review: Greek producer Goji Berry made his Katakana debut on the multi-artist 'Vol 50' EP back in 2017. Since then he's appeared on two further V/A EPs in the series as well as helming six of his own, most recently Vols 142 and 140. Now he's back with 'Vol 144', which finds him reworking a brace of classic soul/funk jams, namely Wilson Pickett's 'Funky Broadway' from 1967 and Lonnie Liston Smith's 'A Chance For Peace', taken from 1975's 'Visions Of A New World' album. Given the calibre of the source material, it's hard to go wrong, really - and Goji Berry certainly doesn't.

Resense 057EXCLUSIVE
Review: Umbo (Croatia's Mario Lovakovic) has chalked up releases on Timewarp and Kraak and now comes to Germany's Resense with two re-edits of tracks from Chess, Sun Records and Stax veteran Little Milton's 1969 'Grits And Groceries' album. That album's title track, here reworked as 'Grits', was written by Titus Turner in 1955 as 'Mona Lisa Was A Man' and has been recorded by many blues, soul and R&B artists under a variety of titles over the years; '23h' is much less confusing, being simply the new name for 'Twenty-Three Hours'. Anyway, suffice to say the sheer power of the late R&B legend's voice makes either a cert on funk and soul floors!

Review: Germany's Philly Vanilli has been around since forever, it seems, but to these ears - and they're ears that have reviewed plenty of his previous releases for this very website - this new set of reworks for Deep Disco Edits is the best work he's turned out so far. He's working with some very well-known source tracks here, so there's no point insulting your intelligence by enumerating them: suffice to say that somehow he's managed to tease the funk out of these much-loved classics in a way that, in some cases, even the original artists didn't manage. Ohio Players' 'Love Rollercoaster' was, admittedly, always a personal fave of yours truly but in PV's hands it becomes a truly exceptional 10 minutes of sheer funk joy, while his reworkings of Marvin, Kool & The Gang and The Temptations are equally impressive. Essential!

Review: Two recent cuts from Russian disco don Alexander Chebankov, better known as Sunner Soul, get handed over to fellow St Petersburg native Unclepasha - whose musical CV dates back to the early 00s - for the remix treatment. His take on 'Right Place', which first appeared on last month's 'Something Good' EP, tones down the boogie and jazz-funk influences of the original and ends up deeper and smoother as a result. Conversely, he's kept the boogie stylings of 'Need You' (taken from February's 'Da Funk' EP) intact and arguably even emphasised them, in a dubbed-out remix that gets distinctly Levan/Peech Boys-esque in places.

Summer Vibe EditsEXCLUSIVE
Review: Despite the title there's no particular discernible 'summer' theme to this latest batch of re-edits from German maestro Alkalino, but that's probably just as well - after all, no one wants to hear 4/4'd up remakes of holiday 'classics' like 'The Birdy Song' or 'Agadoo', do they?! Instead the Audaz boss serves up another typically classy bunch of reworkings, drawing on sources that include Change ft Jocelyn Brown's 'Angel In My Pocket' ('I Remember All So Clearly'), Lenny Williams' 'Midnight Girl' ('The Music Plays And Plays'), Central Line's 'Walking Into Sunshine' ('I Got To Get Away') and Talking Heads' 'Seen And Not Seen' ('A Larger Forehead'), to name but a few.

Katakana Edits Vol 143EXCLUSIVE
Played by: DJ LAUREL
Review: This is, if we're counting correctly, French producer Morlack's 20th EP in the Katakana Edits series so far, so if you're a fan of the label generally the quality's pretty much assured! Coming under the scalpel this time out are a couple of underplayed jams from the 80s - El DeBarge's 'You Wear It Well' from 1985, and Imagination's 'Tell Me Do You Want My Love' from 1981 - before he takes what can safely be classed as something of a left-turn in the context of contemporary re-edit culture, giving us a remarkably effective, disco-fied makeover of new jack swing maestro Keith Sweat's 'Just A Touch' from 1996.

Transgenre EditsEXCLUSIVE
Played by: Kraak & Smaak, Irregular Disco Workers, ROMANTO (YSR / DISCO MACHINE), Juno Recommends Disco, Kongisto
Review: Although Alkalino has re-edited all sorts of music over the years, disco, boogie and Italo-disco tracks have always been his bread and butter. He's taken a different path on his latest release, offering up 'Transgenre Edits' that touch on a wide variety of sounds and styles. There's much to admire throughout, from the 105 BPM conscious soul-goes-dancing headiness of 'Songs That I See' and the weirdo disco-rock-goes-Italo-disco throb of 'Angry Eyes' (a take on a legendary 1979 by Skatt Bros) to the effervescent jazziness of 'Sad Sax' (an edit of the track sampled by Mr Scruff on 'Get a Move On'), the muscular, mind-mangling synth-disco throb of 'Angel Dust' and the bouncy Tango-disco rush of 'Funana'.

Disco JunctionEXCLUSIVE
Review: Montenegran re-edit maestro Sasha Mitich, better known to the music-buying public as Mitiko, serves up seven more reworks of classic cuts from days gone by, kicking off with Sister Sledge's 'All American Girls' from 1981. Next to get the treatment is Brass Construction's 'Changin' (1975), followed by - among others - Rare Function's 'Disco Function' (1976), Johnnie Taylor's 'Disco Lady' (1976) and Sylvester's 'Dance (Disco Heat)' (1978). That leaves just two tracks whose source had our disco detectives scratching their heads - including the infuriatingly familiar 'Funky People' - but you get the general idea!

Katakana Edits Vol 141EXCLUSIVE
Played by: Irregular Disco Workers, DJ LAUREL, FINGERMAN, ROMANTO (YSR / DISCO MACHINE), Juno Recommends Disco, Discoholic Ken, Kongisto
Review: Has any re-edit imprint ever released more music than Katakana Edits? GAMM aside, we can't think of any. This EP of reworks from DJ Laurel is, astonishingly, the label's 141st in total. Predictably, the release gets off to a cheery and sun-splashed start via the lolloping, musically detailed 105 BPM disco excellence of 'Can't Fight Your Love', before DJ Laurel subtly ups the tempo on the swirling, string-laden, dewy-eyed disco-soul of 'Perfect Play'. Those seeking more up-tempo, peak-time-ready thrills should head straight for the gloriously grandiose disco-era Marvin Gaye style brilliance of 'One on One'.

GentlyEXCLUSIVE
Review: Baby Ford and Dazmos took the limelight on this first release on Nice 1, now released digitally for the first time. We Are Syd's original "Gently" is a mellow downtempo roller featuring choice vocals from Shea Seger, but it's the remixes here that get pride of place. Ford and Dazmos lock into an understated drum machine funk draped in hazy pads on their Backroom Mix, while on their Frontroom mix they push the club elements to the forefront, riding the rhythm section with intent while still retaining the smoky spirit of the original to create with an impeccable club cut that should nestle comfortably into the bags of all deep digging house heads.

Katakana Edits Vol 142EXCLUSIVE
Review: Shadowy scalpel field Goji Berry has been one of Katakana Edits' most reliable contributors of recent years. Since making his or her debut in 2018, the publicity-shy producer has returned on countless occasions. So, what's on offer this time round? Two bona-fide party-starting reworks, that's what. 'House Party' subtly beefs up, speeds up and loops up the Fred Wesley track of the same name (or at least a version of that classic cut), while 'It's All Right Now' sees Goji Berry charge, arms aloft, towards down-low disco-funk territory while straightening out and thickening out his source material's lose and sweat-soaked drums.

Serious Edits Vol 29EXCLUSIVE
Review: Serbian disco don Milos Dordevic AKA Tonbe once more dons his Loshmi re-editor's guise. 'Around The Corner' draws on an unidentified (but we're guessing early 80s electrofunk) source and sports a familiar spoken sample about the irrelevance of genres in music, while 'Like You Know' revisits Fat Larry's Band's 'Act Like You Know' from 1982. The seriously fat-bottomed 'Lovely Attack' then bites Tom Hooker's sought-after 1984 Italo-disco gem 'Love Attack', before the package is completed by 'Shake Shake', a rework of TC Curtis's 'Body Shake' from 1981. The latter two share top honours for yours truly but all four will keep disco floors grooving along nicely.
