They say all good things must come to an end and Trash The Wax Vol. 9 has the honour of being our penultimate collection of dance floor heaters and beaters. Believe it when we say we're going out with an almighty kapow!

This ninth outing is packing fire with regular TTW providers such as Paper Street Soul kicking things off with a slab of post-punk electronica on 'Notes On You'. Picotropico has been drinking the same kool aid with the Talking Heads-esque 'Inmovil feat. Sima Itayim'.
 
If low-slung-chuggy-psych-acid-house is your bag then we've got you covered by Dan Wainwright, Coy Dog and James Rod who each crank up the ALFOS-o-meter to 11. House with disco tendencies gets fully represented here by Define, Gina D, Processman, J Kara, Dastardly Bounder and Flying Mojito Brothers who all guarantee a session kicking up dust on the dance floor.

Other Paper and TTW firm members The Secret Soul Society and Andy Buchan go for a housier hat throw into the ring on 'D For Damaga' and 'Road To Barca' whilst Jahn Solo drops an ultimate end of night feel good anthem on 'Dance For Me'.

Bill Brewster: "Some nice gear here"

Will Tramp!: "Lovely stuff!"

Phil Rose: "Great comp!"

Daco: " Lots of goodies involved and particularly diggin' Fabio Santanna and James Rod & Aleito."

Riding a wave of critical praise and positive feedback for his most recent Emperor Machine album, the fabulous Island Boogie, Andrew Meecham returns with a typically wild and dancefloor-focused set of dubs, ‘versions’ and remixes.

According to Meecham, Island Boogie is his most personal set to date – a full-length excursion that not only delivers perfectly formed expressions of his dub-tinged, off-kilter synth-boogie sound, but also tracks that draw deeply on his earliest influences and long-held musical expressions.

It’s fitting, then, that this remix EP begins with his own sparse, stripped-back ‘version’ rework of ‘S-S-S-Single Bed’, a fine cover of the mid-80s Fox single featuring the vocals of Michelle Bee. Meecham’s dub-wise revision is a skeletal and driving affair, with snippets of echoing guitar, colourful synths and Bee’s distinctive vocalisations rising above a weighty dub disco bassline and rock-solid percussion.

It's followed by two revisions of album favourite ‘Wanna Pop With You’ from A Love From Outer Space main man Sean Johnston under his now familiar Hardway Brothers alias. Combining his own love of raw, analogue-sounding electronics and trippy dancefloor psychedelia with select elements of Meecham’s original – percussion, synth sounds, crisp guitar licks and elements of Séverine Mouletin’s lead vocals, Johnston’s main ‘remix’ is a weighty, mid-tempo treat. Arguably even better is his accompanying dub, which is more groove-and-effects focused and makes more of Meecham’s superb original bassline. It’s heavy, spaced-out and undeniably intoxicating.

To round off the package, long-time friend of the label (and sometime contributor) Rose Robinson dons her Tigerbalm pseudonym and gets to work on ‘La Cassette’. Brilliantly cutting up Séverine Mouletin’s vocals, she delivers a driving slab of spaced-out, synth-heavy dub disco that adds more weight and energy to Meecham’s original. It’s a fittingly on-point way to close out a superb selection of club-ready revisions.

The Emperor Machine - S-S-S Single Bed (Version)

Harari - Party (Secousse Edit)

Immerse yourself in the crystalline ether of "Xyloquint," an ambient electronic odyssey that weaves shimmering synths and pulsating xylophone echoes into a hypnotic dreamscape. Inspired by fractured light and forgotten realms, this track pulls you into a world where melodies fracture like prisms, building layers of iridescent tension that resolve in waves of ethereal release. Perfect for late-night introspection or cosmic vibes—let the glow take over.

RNT pushes the boundaries of their ever-expanding Reserve imprint once again, bringing the tropical soul of Fatnotronic into the fold. A sprawling 12" + bonus 7" pack, ONDE ANDA spans a range of equatorial flavor, showing the Sao Paulista duo's knack for bringing just the right touch of today to classic and obscure Brasilian sounds of the past. And with beautifully illustrated packaging, this one's a treat for both the eyes and the ears!

Fatnotronic & In Flagranti - Me Diga

After storming the global Balearic, Disco and House scenes last year with their first release on Barefoot Beats, the mysterious Brasilian maestros of cut n paste are back once again with two more mighty reworks.
 
Selvagem, who featured on the first release, return again this time with their good amigo Kiko Costato to deliver a top notch slice of dubby, afro influenced, chant infused music that would drive most carnivals absolutely bonkers.
 
Meanwhile over on the flipside, disco afficionados Pete Herbert & Dicky Trisco take a classic sounding Brasilian number, reconstruct it and work it to the max producing a perfect dance floor moment.
 
Cut on limited edition 10” vinyl for all good music lovers.
