For its first release on new label DISCOLIDAYS, The Reflex tackles two underground disco cuts remixed from the original multitrack for the very first time.

‘The Voice of Q’ is a leftfield electro disco gem originally released in 1982 on Philly World records. Produced by the studio team behind the label, the track has become a cult classic but had never been remixed from the stems until now. The Reflex brings it up to date with the added discovery of a pre-vocoder vocal and a full rap vocal that were left unused in the tapes, highlighting the funk bass to the max while pushing the cosmic vibes envelope even further.

‘Everybody Loves a Good Funk’ is a rather obscure ghetto disco-funk produced by none other than John Davis (of the John Davis Orchestra fame) that was recorded at Sigma Sound studios in Philly in 1980 for the Midsong International label. Heavy synth bass, super punchy horns and a devastating groove make up for one hell of a dancefloor killer revision. Again remixed strictly from the tapes for the first time, The Reflex gives this Ruth “Silky” Waters track the shine it always deserved.

With both tracks running at 118 bpm, this release will speak to a wide range of DJ’s and music lovers, from the disco-house contingent to early electro disco fans alike and beyond!

Sunner Soul Pres Disco Medley EP [VMR094]

Hot Digits Music returns after a short break with some more disco gold in the form of this superb EP from Groovemasta AKA Velyo Alexieff. The prolific Bulgarian has made some quality appearances on some esteemed labels such as Discoholics Anonymous, Tropical Velvet, Spa In Disco, Hive and Midnight Riot and has impressed with his crisp reworks every time. He comes to Hot Digits with an awesome three track EP “Love Is The Reason” that showcases his fine talent for big string laden floor fillers that are sure to get the pulses racing on the floors this summer!

HOTDIGIT107 Groovemasta - Love Is The Reason (Preview)

The eclectic nu-disco vibes of Double F.O.G. aka Chris Armstrong have been pricking up many an ear the past few years with some superb appearances on Hot Digits and Bandolier records to name but a few. This debut 3 track Ep on Hot Digits Music (an ode to his love for his missus I might add) showcases this rising talent with the Lyn Collins sampling opener “Lose My Mind” which is all mid tempo analogue funk of the highest order. “Baby Don’t Change” ramps up the wobble for another speaker busting slice of slo-mo house before we take things real deep with closing track “Wanna Be Your lover” featuring some cracking vocoder vibes reminiscent of some of Daft Punk’s ballad work. Disco Daze Stephen Richards returns to the label for his cracking remix of “Baby Don’t Change” where the Waterford producer cranks up energy with some slo-mo hip-house textures. A highly original 3 tracker for the more discerning dance floor and terrace.

HOTDIGIT108 Double F.O.G. - Baby Don't Change (Stephen Richards Remix) (Preview)

Henry Greenwood and I have put together a couple of reworks, which I’ve been playing throughout the summer, both ‘70s tracks, one Disco, one Balearic in flavour. The first I’ve uploaded is the former.

The Los Angeles based songwriting and production team Laurin Rinder & W. Michael Lewis forged a distinctive Disco sound during the mid-late 70’s, drawing from their background as Rock and Soul session musicians, whilst playing all the instruments themselves, El Coco and Le Pamplemousse being their initial projects. They’d later record a series of albums under their own names, Rinder & Lewis, including the grandiose Disco concept album, ‘Seven Deadly Sins’. The smooth grooving and somewhat esoteric ‘Mondo Disco’ is one of their early tracks released under the El Coco moniker in 1976.

Available to pre-order on 12" here: https://www.juno.co.uk/products/gw-henry-disco-mondo/739367-01/

Moloko | Sing It Back (Andrew Emil Dreamix)

For this Dreamix, I put together a classic from an all-time favorite artist, Róisín Murphy. 

Written and performed by Murphy and English bassist Mark Brydon—from Chakk and Cloud Nine—this song was recorded under the name Moloko. 

Released as a single in 1999 off Moloko's second album, I Am Not a Doctor, “Sing It Back” peaked at #4 in the UK after it was given the remix treatment from the hit factory of Boris Dlugosch at Peppermint Jam. 

Inspired during her time in New York City, Murphy later co-wrote and appeared on Boris Dlugosch's "Never Enough" single as a trade for his remix work that took this song to new heights. 

I remade this one with the standard orchestrations of late 90s house music, including live electric bass, guitar, and a mixture of Fender Rhodes, electric pianos and Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 pads, and @eventideaudio modulation and reverberation. 

Enjoy!

Get Down Edits - Coming At Ya 

Edit by Darren Daz Dalton

Like a fine wine which matures each year Samosa Records steps into 2020 with a beautifully rounded fuller flavour release in the shape of Funk Purpose Vol. 3. In the same way as its predecessors the label has assembled an impressive team of heavy hitting producers to create an eight track EP which will surely cause serious mischief on dancefloors across the globe. As per Vol. 2 the release will be split into two separate four track 12”s which will be released a week apart on 10th & 20th of February.

Introducing the first 12” are Irish producers Get Down Edits. Their track ‘Coming At Ya’ sees a new electronic tinged direction for the label. Still harnessing bags of funk and soul it has a decidedly peak-time edge. This is a track which will perfectly fit for a wide range of rooms from straight up house floors courtesy of the frenetic kick to more adventurous disco floors. A golden start!
