For many this is the ultimate Disco Illusion; a record that should have been epoch making in its day, something that would have been a staple for David Mancuso, Larry Levan & Ron Hardy had it ever gotten distribution when it was originally released 34 years ago. Somehow time passed it by and it was only re-discovered in a warehouse in Trinidad last year. Since then it has been gaining momentum fast, with DJ support from Moodymann, MCDE, Floating Points & Kon, as well as original copies selling for four-digit sums. Part of the illusion is in the structure of the record. The A-side begins with a beautiful hazy disco song, but suddenly an Egyptian sounding bridge turns things inside out and the song opens up into stripped back proto-house jam complete with bubbling Sun Ra synths and Black Ark tape delay action. Then there’s the b-side, which sounds like Bob James after he had a taste of callaloo, with deep electronics and a mind-melting steel pan solo.

Brawther's latest vinyl-only three-tracker is only getting a limited pressing, meaning that to get your hands on this stellar record you're going to have to be quick. Never fear though as we have a stream of one of the cuts.

Arguably the best track on the EP, 'VXVXVX' is a rolling masterpiece that oozes groove from the off. It effortlessly blends warm pads with thumping kicks and of course some cosmic whirrings that Brawther has down to a tee. Absolutely stunning.

[Disco Down] Venus Dodson - Shining (Paradise Garage Classic)

Drop Out Cutz - High On Love (found this!)

Hitting the music press headlines recently was news of a second Floorplan album.  Now M-Plant delivers a first taste of this highly anticipated release with two tracks from the album, ‘Music’ and ‘Tell You No Lie’.

Floorplan is already well known as Robert Hood’s house, disco, funk and gospel outlet, which this year evolves into a family affair with co-production alongside his daughter, Lyric.  ‘Victorious’ will be the second Floorplan album and follow-up to 2013’s ‘Paradise’ which spawned ‘Let’s Ride, ‘Baby Baby’ and the massive ‘Never Grow Old’.

Set to replicate the success of ‘Paradise’, ‘Victorious’ will be released in June.  To precede it, the single released at the end of April is comprised of the bumping house groove of ‘Music’ (which received it’s first global airing on B.Traits’ BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra show in February) and the disco rotations of ‘Tell You No Lie’. 

Both tracks are exceptionally infectious, with tough beats, glorious vocal reprises and sure not to disappoint.

Mr. G returns to his own Phoenix G label next week (Tuesday 8th November) with 10-track album ‘A Good Place…?’. We’ve got the exclusive premiere of ‘One For The Headz’ from it above.

With a career spanning over 25 years, Mr. G – real name Colin McBean – has steadily established himself at the top table of electronic music, seeing a renaissance through a string of full-length albums and his effervescent live show in recent years.

He’s had a prolific year of production in 2016 too, with releases on Defected, Midnight Shift and Bass Culture, amongst others, the latter with his emotive cut, ‘Transient’.

‘A Good Place…?’ is made up of robust and moody music built from depth-charged basslines, rattling hi-hats and funk-fueled samples, resulting in 10-tracks of his trademark muscular hypnosis.

Our premiere ‘One For The Headz’ has been one of the biggest tracks on the DJ Mag office stereo this year, thanks to its rhythmic and percussive intricacy — it's a superb broken beat weapon primed for the dancefloor.

Speaking about the album, McBean said, “This was a real surprise as I thought I was done doing another one for a good while, but I’m not complaining. Funnily enough, I started writing this after some horrid treatment at a gig, but after the things I’ve been through over the last few years just being alive is a great place for me – each day and a God blessed bonus.”

Listen to the exclusive premiere of Mr. G’s ‘One For The Headz’ above.

A Good Place...?

Mouzon's Electric Band - Everybody Get Down

Re-igniting the dancefloors twenty years after its original release, Steve Bug refreshes this classic Chez Damier production, originally from 1992. ‚Can You Feel It‘ is one of those classic New York / Chicago House jams that just defines a moment in dance music history. Dessous label boss Steve Bug arranges two special mixes that celebrate and re-juvinate this very special record.

Steve‘s straight up remix maintains the classic vibes with a sensitive 90s themed re-work that calls upon clean, fresh drums and smooth sub bass as its initial building blocks. The instantly recognisable vocal is included, as is the hey-day chord vibes and glorious US house melodies. Simply deadly in the right moments... A Re-Dub version is also included that spaces things out and opens up the strings in a breezy and superbly mixed club tool.

A ‚New York Dub‘ has also been included, dug out from the Chez Damier vaults and re-mastered for 2012 - highly prized vibes on this and his trademark, pushing, swinging drums keep us going ‚on and on‘!

Here's a new remix I did for the disco:wax Remixes compilation. The original had a kind of a modern take on 60's soul vibe so I built on that and turned it into a more 70's funk kinda thing. Hope you enjoy it!

Thanks to Markus Hentunen for the saxophone and additional brass arrangement.

Tom Trago's new 12", the album sampler to the upcoming album The Light Fantastic. Featuring the dancefloor stomper "Two Together" which was co-produced by Steffi, "True Friends" featuring Breach on the vocals and the non-album track "Avenido". Big TIp! 

Tom Trago is back, giddily dancing out of the studio into the dizzying light of a European summer. Tucked under his arm are the masters for his third album, The Light Fantastic.

Since his most recent appearance on Rush Hour last autumn, Trago has spent most of his time in the studio. Over four memorable months, he constantly jammed, recorded, tweaked and produced tracks, until he had enough strong material to put together what might just be his best full-length to date. 

Along the way, he was joined by an impressive guest list of guests and collaborators from Amsterdam and beyond, all of who were roped in after “popping into the studio to hang out”. 

You’ll have to wait to hear the album, but the good news is that there’s an enticing teaser of what’s to come in the shape of this formidable three-track taster. One of the tracks, the chiming, loose-limbed, bass-heavy workout “Avenido”, is exclusive to this 12”.

When he sat down to make The Light Fantastic, Trago was keen to recapture the essence of his early work, and particularly the melodic warmth, kaleidoscopic chords and robust grooves that characterized his 2009 debut album, Voyage Direct. This time, though, he wanted to rely less on samples and apply the lessons learnt from four years of largely acclaimed production work. As a result, The Light Fantastic oozes a gleeful sense of fun, whilst retaining the depth and definition that has always been a hallmark of Trago’s work.

The two album tracks featured on this sampler confirm the rich dividends that this new approach brought. “True Friends”, featuring the combined talents of Brit-in-Amsterdam Ben Westbeech and local hero San Proper, bristles with loved-up positivity, all bubbling electronic melodies, fuzzy vocoder vocals and jaunty, bottom-end bounce.

From the Rush Hour site: 
Then there’s the small matter of “Two Together”, an extra large helping of the kind of loopy, feel-good deep house funk with which he made his name. Expertly teased, tweaked and produced, it sees nagging hooks, darting synths, jazz keys and disco stabs riding a relentless, full-throttle groove. Co-produced with Berlin-based Dutch producer Steffi, it’s nothing less than a wide-eyed late night rush. If it doesn’t have you tripping The Light Fantastic, nothing will.
