Review: Although nowhere near as famous as her husband Louie Vega, with whom she works with extensively, Ana 'Anane' Martins has still managed to amass a rather impressive discography over the last couple of decades. This epic compilation showcases some of her favourite cuts to date, including a handful of previously unheard gems and some high-profile remixes by other artists of her work. Highlights are plentiful from start to finish, with our picks including her warm tropical house cover of Bunny Mack classic 'Let Me Love You' (produced by Mike Dunn), Louie Vega's moonlit Latin house-meets-zouk rework of the steamy 'Bem Ma Mi', a suitably funky, loose-limbed and low-slung Masters at Work dub disco mix of 'Standing In Line' and a couple of luscious Manoo re-rubs of 'Let's Get High'.
Review: When it comes to celebratory, life-affirming musical positivity, you can't beat Midnight Riot's ongoing "Disco Made Me Do It" compilation series, which gathers together a mixture of re-edits, reworks and original productions from the label's vast roster of artists. At 24 tracks deep it's a bit of an epic, though we can happily confirm that the quality threshold remains impressively high throughout. Our current favourites include the Redux Inc re-edit of Casa Blanco's P-funk flavoured hip-wiggler, "Funk & Dub With You", the rushing, piano-powered house bounce of "Got Me" by Ladies on Mars, label boss Yam Who's sparkling nu-boogie revision of Phil Jaimes' "My Sensitivity" and the deep, groovy '80s soul flex of Chevals' "Thank You For The Ride".
