Manzo Edits Vol. 5 trots proudly back into the ring, tail high and hooves tapping, with four fresh cuts to leave the dancefloor gasping for hay.
"Rosy" opens the stampede with groovy springtime melancholy: Manzo is lovesick, staring across the fence at a cow he just can’t forget. "Amare Moto" slinks in with sultry swagger, a slow and sexy jam built to get the hips moving.
On the flip, "You Have To Cry Tonight" struts in with crisp Italo drums and more attitude than a Saturday night stallion. We close with "Bring Me", an alpine rave of cowbells and yodeling, ready for the pasture.

B2. Bring me (Saks&Teip + Black Pomade Edit)

Vintage synth fetishist Italo Brutalo brings you his superb sophomore album Second Horizon, released 29th May on his and his girlfriend very own Bungalo Disco label. The German producer possesses an incredible armoury of retro analogue synths, and he certainly knows how to use them. And push them to their limits. Congratulations, listener. You are about to step into an alternate electronic universe.

Kicking off with City Sight, every synth is a joy. Warm tones, clear, crisp symbols and snares. A beautiful melody intertwined with acid tweaks and dreamy vocoder vocals, sounding almost more keys than voice. And that 80s drum machine line. There are five different decades where this modern classic would feel right at home.

You want it darker? Here comes Memory Sync, bursting through your loading screen like an end of level baddy. Press ‘play’ and you will know exactly what I mean. The hi hat and kick drum pattern on Digital Freedom is to die for, the acid bass and Italo disco melody giving your day an instant serotonin boost.

Surveillance State kicks the tempo up more than a notch, this eerie 3-D soundscape literally makes you feel as though you are being watched by a Machiavellian force. You can literally feel the paranoia oozing from your speakers. Technology is like a souped-up Kraftwerk 33 played on 45. Close your eyes and imagine stop-frame footage of robots in a car factory. Just brilliant. Heiss Oder Kalt (Hot Or Cold) is a perfect title for this lush mix of warm and cool synths, with a vocal sample reminiscent of a mad scientist.

Chasing Shadows, The first single to be released from Second Horizon, is just damn well exciting. It’s like you’re driving K.I.T.T. on turbo boost, in pursuit of the Midnight Express. Strap yourself in as Italo Brutalo hits the TB-303 button on the console for an acid fuel injection. Just when you thought it couldn’t get better, the joyous robotic vocal kicks in. I dare you to try and stay still whilst Chasing Shadows plays. It’s impossible.

Free To Move takes the tempo down a notch, robotic melodies dancing with each other in beautiful synchronicity, giving life to a beautiful android, leading perfectly into Black Gold, a soundscape rich enough to deserve to grace a Hollywood masterpiece.

Human Code is a perfect companion piece to City Sight. Drop this one in a club and see the reaction. Pure bliss. Then comes dark and sleazy low tempo I am a creator pulls you into the thought process of Italo Brutalo, before Tonight finishes this perfect long player off to a joyous, satisfying conclusion.

Musical visionaries often find it difficult to write that difficult second album. With Second Horizon, Italo Brutalo has brought you an original masterpiece. Enjoy.

GINA- Let Me Free! (Vibe Impact Edit)

'A small package that delivers a serious wallop, “Try No More” by Glitterin is guaranteed to provide some heat on dancefloors this Summer. From the juddering throb of the opening kicks to the ricocheting rhythms, the track fixes itself directly under the mirrorball from the outset. Produced by Jason Core, this is late night lover affair material that is brimming with energy. When the firework melody bursts, it ignites. Sharp and warm synth stabs are left smouldering by the driving and impassioned voice of Sandry Sanz. A tale of unrequited love unfolds between the cymbal crashes and spiralling synthines, lines that grow ever bolder through Tony David’s emotive guitar solo. The flip is dedicated to Core’s instrumentation with the range of analogue sounds and synthesizer intensity coming to the fore. Intricate patterns and counter melodies are woven, key shifts and pulsating percussion imbibe this dub mix with all the spirit of the original. Fierce and fiery from beginning to end.'

Glitterin - Try No More

Energy Fields is Gus Paterson’s vinyl debut. One of the brains behind Bokhari Records, this four tracker melts disco, italo and house into a creamy funk fondue. Staggered bleeps and crisp percussion introduce the title piece, samples echo as a squelching thick bassline drops. Countering the fudgey strings are sparkling synthlines, bold brassy analogue bursts tethering the track to the floor. Although tempos drop for “Emotive Feel,” the energy remains high. Robust keys are further fortified by blasts from vintage machines, a free flowing groove lifted into astral jazz. Sharp beats open the flip for “Cyborg Dateline.” Soon, Paterson’s melodic skill takes over. Layers of inspiration are held together by ambling notes. Echoes of cosmic and disco are adopted, a contemporary twist delivered through the complex intertwining of elements. Paterson takes us into the stratosphere for the finale. “Jetpack Joyride” maintains the rhythm of its predecessor, pouring on the funk through daring piano lines and rich strings of double bass. A trip into the beyond from this debutant.

Each track is an asynchronous contribution from friends across the Asia-Pacific region: Mori Ra, Sonder Plains, Tucan Discos, Bongomann, Max Hammur, and Gold Suite. By taking away the barriers of location and time, self-paced collaboration let each sound breathe in, breathe out and find its natural place.

[LEG012] release date 25.09.25
Boots & Legs presents: Family Secrets Compilation número four!

Every family keeps secrets. some whispered, some hidden in plain sight, some only revealed on the dancefloor at 3am. With Family Secrets número four, Boots & Legs once again unlocks the attic and pulls out a dusty box of treasures: shimmering synth relics, basslines that won’t behave, and melodies too good to keep behind closed doors.

Kicking things off, Due Giorni sets the dream in motion with jungle video game “level up” vibes, a perfect introduction that opens the door to our hidden world. Harrington storms in next with a hard, running acid bassline and stabby keys. An unstoppable force charging through the family hallway.

Leap then reveals a beautifully reimagined Italo classic in their unmistakable style: dreamy, big, and drenched in nostalgia, the kind of secret memory you didn’t realise you’d been keeping. Our forever cousin Matteo Galetto follows with pure cocktail-by-the-beach energy, cruising down the Italian coast like an 80s millionaire with a boogie to match. Big energy, big views, no apologies.

O.P.S refuses to turn the lights on, delivering a hard-and-fast, late-night stormer that feels like it’s 3am and you’ll never leave the club. Meanwhile, Sam In Space takes the torch and lifts it higher with a late-night anthem, fists in the air, “lose yourself” ringing again and again. It speaks louder than words ever could.

First-time family member Seth Booth brings us back to earth with blissful Balearic waves, a wavy cruise for the backseat dreamers. And finally, SEIUN closes the book with a large, in-charge French flick of house brilliance. A belter that sends the whole family reunion out in style.

Boots & Legs has always believed that family secrets are best shared on the dancefloor. So slip on your boots, stretch out those long legs, and let Family Secrets número four remind you that some secrets were never meant to stay hidden.

About Boots & Legs:
From somewhere between yesterday and tomorrow, the cobblers at Boots & Legs transmit a charismatic cavalcade of bespoke, artisanally crafted musical delights. The label draws inspiration from 80’s Italo-disco and synth-pop, modernising these timeless sounds for the dancefloors of today. Joyous and propulsive with a flair for the romantic, these boots were made for dancing.
