Review: For this 11th edition of the Whiskey Disco series, Sleazy McQueen has gathered together a series of decidedly loved-up re-edits, many with a real AOR feel. That's certainly the case with "Moonlight" - a wonky bundle of 6am sunrise hugs edited into shape by Yves Saint Lau'rant - and Anthony Mansfield's delightfully subdued "Cosmic Annie". There's some straight-up party flavours in the shape of Disco Tech's bumpin' rework of perennial Dolly Parton fave "Jolene", while Cole Medina successfully dubs out a deep house love song on "Your Love".
Review: Given his track record in producing simmering slow jams and seductive grooves, you'd expect Cole Medina to be rather handy between the sheets. Regardless, he's at it again (arf) with another two-tracker packed with wide-eyed, loved-up grooves. "Close 2 U" is particularly delicious, offering a head-nodding chunk of 100BPM goodness that pairs seductive slo-mo disco grooves with filter-laden modern soul vocal samples. By the time it finishes, you'll be undressed, greased up and ready for action. The more upbeat "If I Ever" continues the R&B fixation, chucking select soul vocal samples over a hip wigglin' deep house groove and kissable chords. In a word: sticky.
Review: Following a couple of years when he's rocked more uptempo rhythms, Cole Medina makes a return to the sumptuous, soul-flecked sound with which he made his name. Both "Stay With Cole" and the gorgeous "Aint No Funq" recall the orgasmic, touchy-feely vibes of his infamous Bee Gees rework ("Cole Loves You Inside & Out"), working a glut of glossy, string-laden soul samples into steaming slices of slo-mo sensuality. "Cole's Just Crazy" throws some 80s soul into the pot for max end-of-night slow-dance pressure, but it's the other two tracks that really excel. Sexytime with Cole, anyone?
Review: It's a case of "monster by name, monster by nature" here because opener 'King Of Disco Mountain' is an absolute BEAST, as Medina does for Mussorgsky's 'A Night On Bald Mountain' what Walter Murphy & The Big Apple Band did for Beethoven back in the 70s. It'll either give you spine-tingles or a full-blown case of The Fear, but either way you won't forget it in a hurry. Elsewhere, 'Let's Do It Again' is based on an unknown disco/soul nugget from the satin sheets and 'Luudes school of thought, while 'Check The Rhime' reworks A Tribe Called Quest: both are very playable, but it's 'King...' that's the killer.
