V.A. - Disco Biscuits #6

Pajda Banana

Das Komplex - Pajda Banana

Swiss duo Psycho Weazel step in with some dance floor dynamite.

Léo Besso and Ivo Roxo's story is one of kinship; a tale of two friends spurring each other through an ever-ascending journey propelled by soft hearts and a magnetic, boisterous energy.

With hours stacking in the studio, Psycho Weazel defined their sound with the beautifully balanced 'boysdontcry'. This LP sought to give license to emotional expression whilst showcasing an important facet of their characters that extends beyond party starters and is more introspective and complex.

This balance is echoed across their latest outing for Exploited Club. 'Sueño Cálido' is equal parts heartfelt and mobile; club bangers with a cosy tinge perfect for warm summer dance floors.

The title track kicks things off with a deft counterbalance of power and poignancy. Nifty polyrhythms dance a syncopated shuffle under buttery synths that swell into humid plumes, while a boxing bass line tacks together a highly infectious groove. More melodies are gently folded in as emotion mounts, and a clever, free-flowing arrangement keeps the listener engaged, while a certain lo-fi quality wraps them in a homey blanket.

'Sueur' follows up with a slapping 909 drum track adorned with a bubbling organ and broad, colorful synth sweeps. Again, lively sequencing keeps the listener on their toes as drums are expertly dropped in and out, while melodies duck and weave across a bold, no-nonsense DJ tool.

'Body Alarm' brings things to a steamy close. Toms lead the charge here as they form the bones of a totally irresistible vibe, enhanced with carnival vocal cuts and sharp organ jabs. A wild breakdown unfolds as the energy stacks in layers, keeping the mood at boiling point until the very end.

Circle the Drain- feat. Uungh/Juicebox (Original) (Released! on R-Side)

Hell Yeah series File Under Balearic Gabba continues its mission to bring some vital, previously digital-only Balearic Gabba weaponry to vinyl for the first time. This second volume has again artwork by Planet Luke and features Wallace next to new school stars SIRS and Pedro Bertho.

Tartan Records label head and British talent Wallace opens up with a remix of Sewell And The Gong's 'Better Words' that has been a real summer hit for label head Marco Gallerani.
The original came on Jason Boardman's fine Before I Die label and is one of those jams that transcends genre and wins over techno heads, Adriatic beach groovers and festival main stages alike. It is "proper Balearic Gabba" says Marco with its tropical percussion, humid pads and watery droplets all adding lush atmosphere to the dubby drums. The chords and reedy leads are beautifully delicate but get floors in a blissed-out, loved-up trance.

SIRS is an artist on fire right now and already impressed on this label with his remix of Aura Safari which is one of the year's standout Balearic house jams. He has a new single on the way for Hell Yeah but first flips label mate My Friend Dario's 'Tellaro' into a wobbly, psyched-out dub disco and breakbeat chugger. The zippy synths and shimmering keys are underpinned with a taught bassline and playful vocals that bring great fun and irresistible party vibes to any set.

Hell Yeah mainstay Verdo then has his 'Boulevardier' remixed by Pedro Bertho, a rising talent from Brazil with a steamy South American style. This one is a modern beach classic that unites both young and old heads with its frayed analogue drums and snappy percussion joining the dots between 80s Chicago house, new age and Balearic with its big piano chords and phased bass all getting hands the air.

PREMIERE – Josh Ludlow – Vikram (Edit) (Stereo Ferment)

OPOLOPO helps launch the Spring Revisited project, which invites highly respected house music producers to remix and re-edit classic tracks from New York's Spring Records.

Spring Records operated through the 1970's, releasing many seminal soul, funk and disco tracks that have left their mark on today's music scene.

This release sees OPOLOPO rework Millie Jackson's classic disco track, "We Got to Hit It Off." The original is famed for its soulful vocal performance and captivating lyrics about female empowerment. Its sweeping strings and funky bassline also add to its upbeat vibe and feel-good energy.

OPOLOPO is a Swedish disco maestro and house music aficionado, he is a highly skilled producer who has the Midas touch when it comes to remixing music. He has done official remixes for artists such as Gregory Porter, Lisa Shaw, Barbara Tucker, and many other iconic vocalists. So, he was the perfect choice to remix Millie Jackson's "We Got to Hit It Off," and it's in a similar vein to the original music OPOLOPO has released through record labels such as Z Records, Reel People Music, and Local Talk.

Talking about his contribution to the Sprint Revisited project, OPOLOPO said: "It was an absolute honour and a tremendous treat to remix a legendary R&B icon like Millie Jackson. We Got To Hit It Off is a standout example of her powerful vocals and ability to bring both passion and playfulness to her music. In my main mix, I tried to be respectful of the original, staying with the disco vibes while injecting a bit of funk and boogie. On the deeper mix, I aimed for a later time slot on the dance floor, when things are a bit more stripped down, sweaty and raw."

OPOLOPO takes a more synthesised approach with his remix, which centres around a new bassline that lays a funky foundation for the original's vocal, strings and guitar licks. It's a sassy rework made with modern dance floors in mind, and he has also done a 'Deeper Remix' with lush pads and beefed-up percussion.

This release breathes new life into a timeless classic, while staying true to the mood and message of the original.

PREMIERE : Millie Jackson - We Got to Hit It Off (OPOLOPO Remix)

This one digs back into what deep house was always meant to be – filter sweeps that take their sweet time and those spacious dub chords that get under your skin. 

No rush, just a groove that breathes.

I built it around these resonant double bass tones and kept the drum programming crisp but not overproduced. That amazing vocal (from: https://www.instagram.com/sdotlyre ) has this bittersweet quality that hits different at 4am .

Honestly, I'm trying to push back against what passes for "deep" these days. This is about that meditative pocket where you can lose yourself in the rhythm.

For the heads who still appreciate when music gives you room to think between the beats. Those afterhours moments when everyone left in the room actually gets it.

You Give Me Something

Hailing from Sydney, Jerk Boy has amassed a credible catalogue of modern Disco music, the contents of which can be huddled together under the umbrella of 'music for good times'. He knows exactly how to move floors and his next single featuring Irfane is case on point.

Best known for his collaborative work with Ed Banger mainstay Breakbot who he toured with extensively - Irfane has also worked with Hudson Mowhake and remains a deeply versatile vocalist. Together the duo lay out 'Something Isn't Right'; a classy cut with an easy, free-flowing energy.

A trim and shifty bass line pops and flexes under a finger snapping snare and sixteenth-note shuffles. The groove is effortless as is gently segues through sections of chordal chimes, vocal refrains and flashes of melodic expression with just enough drive and force to keep the vibe buoyant throughout.

A radio edit and an instrumental offer options for DJs who will no doubt pull it for it's fun, addictive and softly rapturous spirit.'

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.

Back in 2022, Tareq—one half of the DJ/production duo Boys’ Shorts—remixed this
track. We first connected online, and as I got to know his music, he asked if he could
remix my 2019 track Paradís. Of course, I couldn’t say no. The result? A banger. An
energetic remix driven by a bassline that carries the track forward—it finally felt right to
release it alongside Teknó eigur lívið í mær.

Out in the wild lands of the great Northwest, where the wind whispers through ancient firs, lives a fisherman. Every county has its share, sure, but this one's different. Since the 90s, his name has echoed across the Pacific Northwest and beyond: a groove mutator, a wild beat machine some might say. Pinning down his sound is like chasing a mountain mist, but your body won't care. This music's for dance floors, for minds that wander, for every soul seeking a joyful escape.
He's been a family man from the start, though the definition of family might have grown and evolved. Bringing thick vibes, that's just who he is. You might have stumbled into a legendary party he threw years ago, a hazy memory fueled by infectious beats. While he probably doesn't recall every dance floor ignited, trust us – J.P. Maxwell, AKA Maximus is a PNW great.
