Review: Brazilian techno master Cohen flexes his funk and disco muscles to great effect here. A fat, throbbing synth bassline underpins the echoing one-line female vocal of the uptempo title track, while another nagging synth, more electro-sounding this time, pulsates its way through most of the instrumental 'Cinderella'. 'Freno' is another looping, hypnotic affair with sci-fi stabs and just a hint of acid, before 'Cleverworld' plays us out on a more cut-up and vaguely experimental tip, though don't worry: it's glitchy, but not enough to scare the horses! If all you know Cohen for is techno, then checking this EP out with open ears and mind is highly recommended.
Review: Some quintessential nu-disco vibes here courtesy of Lord Funk, with two low-slung burners just in time for summer. "Your Love" leads the charge, and at 108bpm it's clearly not a charge that's in any particular rush. No problem there though, as it's a dreamy, meandrous groover full of balmy sensuality. Things perk up however when Funk couples up with heavy breather Ginnie Watson for the saucy electro-funk jam "Drive Me Crazy" - a bonkers cacophony of tin pot percussion, snappy snares and samples of old porno.
Your Love (Estate Minneapolis remix) - (4:24) 120 BPM
Review: A welcome return for Minneapolis' Dirty McKenzie, who here teams up with vocalist Sophia Shorai for a spot of seductive disco-acid fusion. The original version delivers just the right balance between Barry White-ish disco-soul foreplay and head-warping acid house tweakery - like Claudja Barry getting frisky with DJ Pierre, while the Walrus of Love watches on through a two-way mirror. The "Cocaine on Her Dress Mix", meanwhile, chugs along on a sweaty Italo tip, while the Your Love Is Gone mix turns the original into a spiralling chunk of intoxifying nu-disco prettiness. The shuffling synth bass of Bryan Gerrard's mix is certain to go down well with the Hot Creations crowd, while Faze Action's "Your Love Is Music" remix slows things right down with their irresistible brand of cosmic synth disco.
