Italian DJ legend DJ Rocca (from the infamous Maffia Club) joins forces with File Under Disco to produce a stunning EP of original new disco sounds. 

As one half of Erodiscotheque alongside disco superstar Dimitri From Paris, and as a regular collaborator with Danielle Baldelli the Grandaddy of the Cosmic sound, DJ Rocca's disco credentials are firmly in place. 

For this release, he captures the classic sound of disco funk on 'Love Power', but gives it a modern production twist and re-spins it for the contemporary dance floor. 
On the remix front, the one and only Dimitri From Paris rolls out one of his heavy-hitting, Prelude-style Nightdubbin' mixes of 'Pizza On Wednesday', which will have your dancers beating the street for more. 
While Dicky Trisco's dance floor intentions are obvious as he hits the boogie button with a hands-in-the-air retake on A Magical Day.

Out November 2013
All tracks written, programmed and performed by Luca "DJ Rocca" Roccatagliati at Mars Life Studio, Reggio Emilia, Italy
Flute Solos by Luca "DJ Rocca" Roccatagliati

A1 - DJ ROCCA - Pizza On Wednesday (Dimitri From Paris Nightdubbin' Mix) - CLIP

Dr Packer - Magic In Your Eyes

Emerging as their first release on Manual Music, But U marks a striking introduction to the label's timeless electronic music legacy. Featuring Rana Iravani's smooth, sensual vocals over a warm, mystique-scented sonic landscape, the track channels the spirit of classic deep house with modern flair.

Born in San Francisco and raised in Dubai, Rana's global upbringing and training in drama at NYU infused her artistry with storytelling and emotional depth. As a DJ, producer, singer, and songwriter based in New York, she brings cinematic nuance and musical sophistication to every project.

Little is publicly known yet about Janne Johannes, making this debut all the more intriguing. Together, Janne and Rana deliver a collaboration steeped in mystery, a synergy of subtle vocal phrasing and atmospheric arrangement.

Musically, But U unfurls with catchy piano motifs and string‑shot chords that evoke both vintage emotion and dancefloor energy. It's a track equally suited to deep late‑night club sets as it is to immersive listening at home or on the road. With its lush textures, rhythmic drive, and evocative mood, it stands as a modern house gem that intrigues and captivates.

Listen to But U, the bold debut from Rana Iravani & Janne Johannes on Manual Music, blending soulful vocals, elegant melodies, and timeless deep house allure. A track poised to resonate across dancefloors and headphones alike.

Named a ‘stellar edits provider’ by Mixmag and the ‘nu-disco don’ by Juno, Andy Buchan has become one of the leading names in the disco and edit scene. His music and edits have been played by BBC 6 Music, Greg Wilson, Optimo, Massive Attack’s Daddy G, Horse Meat Disco and Craig Charles, while Andy holds down residencies across Leeds, Manchester, Edinburgh and Southport alongside regular club and festival bookings.

With over 200 releases across chart-topping releases on dozens of disco-fried labels, including Peppermint Jam, Hot Digits, Midnight Riot and Paper Disco, Andy launched his Hot Gorilla Records imprint in 2020 along with Conan The Selector. The label hit the ground running, with several Juno Download No.1s, multiple Traxsource Top 10s and four tracks in the Best of 2021 Beatport chart. That led to the Hot Gorilla funky monkeys becoming DJ support for The Brand New Heavies' sell-out UK tour. 

Andy’s own music has been picked up for reviews in DJ Mag and Mixmag, plus radio support from 6Music and Rinse FM and club and festival plays from big-name DJs, including Bicep, Claptone, Horse Meat Disco, Greg Wilson, Peggy Gou, Justin Robertson, Electric Chair and more. That support took an interesting turn when the British National Library Sound Archive asked him to enter his back catalogue into their music collection! 

His previous residences include Chow Down and Flight Club in Leeds, Inventery and Grosvenor in Manchester alongside regular guest slots at legendary Edinburgh club The Street and the Southport Disco Festival. Alongside that, Andy has played across the UK in recent years, warming up for Huey 6 Music, Craig Charles, Dr Packer, Groove Armada, Psychemagik, Hot Chip and headlining at gigs in Manchester, Birmingham, York, Dubai and Todmorden’s legendary Golden Lion pub. 

This is just the latest chapter in Andy’s career. After freelancing for Mixmag and training as a journalist, he moved to Dubai in 2004, working for Time Out Dubai before launching DJ Mag Middle East. He was a regular on the club and festival scene, first with his own long-running, award-winning nights and with long-term residencies at Pacha and Trilogy, alongside back-to-back bookings for Creamfields UAE. It was in Dubai that he cemented his open-genre, curveball DJ style by playing alongside a wide variety of DJs like Fatboy Slim, Mark Ronson, Basement Jaxx, Todd Terje, Norman Jay, Liam Gallagher, Feel My Bicep, Graeme Park and more.

Now back in the UK, he’s become a mainstay of the disco scene while his label Hot Gorilla Records continues to grow into one of the most exciting labels in the scene, including festival slots at Beatherder and Standon Calling.

Highlights:
						
Craig Charles plays ‘Fly Guy’ on his 6Music show Say A Prayer EP is one of the top-selling EPs on Juno Download and one of Greg Wilson’s tracks of the year
						
‘Caught in the Middle’ spends over 5 months in the Beatport Top 100 Disco charts, with support from PBR Streetgang, Danny Rampling, Rinse FM and more.
