Vinyl & Digital release.

<b>Official press release</b>
The next package from the ever-busy MB Disco label is a whopping and wonderful collection of remixes of British/Polish duo The KDMS’s hit single ‘Part Time Lovers’. Originally released on Gomma, it has been fully licensed to the label who serve it up here in original form as well as with remixes from Leaves & Iron Curtis, Acid Washed, label boss Martin Brodin, Copycat, Peter Visti and Nirosta Steel. 

The KDMS have proven themselves fine purveyors of disco funk and deep down boogie, turning the heads of press and punters alike in the process. Their single, ‘Part Time Lovers’ is a breezy and dreamy bit of instrument rich disco with dazzling synths and uplifting vocals and is ripe for remixing, so it’s no wonder MB Disco have decided to do just that.

First up is German producer and an associate of both Smallville and Tensnake’s Mirau label, Iron Curtis. He turns in two remixes; the first strips the track back to drums and percussion and lays in a monstrous and wobbling bassline before laying the vocal back on the top. It’s a direct deep house number with plenty of anthemic potential while his other contribution is a vocal-less dub for the real heads that features some classic sampling you will most certainly recognise! 

Next up are French duo Acid Washed who release on the legendary Record Makers label. Fresh from the release of their album House of Melancholy the pair reimagines ‘Part Time Lovers’ as a louche bit of synthy disco pop. There is plenty of cosmic energy and celestial energy within the glistening synths and hip-swaying hand claps and it’s such a fine rework it’s hard to imagine it isn’t an original track in itself.

Label head and revered producer Martin Brodin goes for an uplifting hosue cum disco vibe with his remix. Leaving in the drama of the original vocals, there are plenty of grinding analogue basslines buried deep within the shimmering, uplifting remix.

Next up, Swedish nu-disco don and Eskimo label friend Copycat calls in all his influences from Italo to cosmic to Balearic to conjure up the dense and bristling sonic collage that is his arp-ridden remix. Its high energy but retails a soulful feel thanks to the vocals whilst fellow Eskimo producer and Danish disco deviant Peter Visti keeps things much deeper and slightly trippier. His drums judder along a bumpy groove with heavenly harmonies ringing out up top and a gurgling bassline keeping things perfectly aligned for the ancefloor.

The final two remixes come from Nirosta Steel, who is actually Steven Hall. Hall also works as part of the much loved Arthur’s Landing project – a group of musicians who formerly worked with cult music genius Arthur Russell. This moniker is something of a secret and underground project and the music matches that. The Eastwood remix is a totally deconstructed reworking that features heavily filtered vocals, some amazing twanging guitar strums which take you straight to a hazy summer beach and the whole thing in drowned in echo, much like the work of Arthur Russell. An instrumental is also included. 

This is a very healthy package that genuinely offers plenty of different, and equally essential, takes on the great original by The KDMS and confirms MB Disco to be one of the genre’s finest assets when it comes to taking the genre forward.

As MB Disco's Summer release schedule continues, they return with something very special indeed - as they drop the Shakedown remixes of the Giorgio Moroder single, 'I Wanna Rock You'.
 
Hailed by many as the father of Disco, Giorgio Moroder is credited with being one of the pioneers of early disco & the European dance scene - whilst also producing singles for the likes of Donna Summer & penning songs for David Bowie, Kylie Minogue & Janet Jackson. Also founder of the legendary Musicland studios in Germany, it would go on to welcome artists including The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Queen & Elton John - who all recorded there across the years. 
 
Marking his return to music in 2012 in fitting fashion, Giorgio Moroder went on to contribute to Daft Punk's studio album - Random Access Memories, whilst also working with a new breed of artists, including Lana Del Rey & Madeon, amongst many others. 
 
With Shakedown now bringing their irresistible groove to 'I Wanna Rock You', Swiss brothers Mandrax & Seb K have played a key role over the years in continuing to push House music forward. First launching in 1999, it was their 2002 single 'At Night' that saw the duo explode on to the international scene - with the record charting across multiple territories, going Top 10 in the UK & still going strong on big floors to this day.

Giorgio Moroder & Shakedown - I Wanna Rock You (Shakedown Mix)

The people of Hamburg are associated with traits such as modesty and coolness. The same can be said about the music scene of Germany‘s second largest city: While there is a lot of buzz in the media about cre- atives being envious to the capital, the music scene, especially in the electronic fields, has been thriving here in the last few years. Hafendisko, the Hamburg based new sub label by hfn music, reknowned for their re- leases by Trentemøller and Kasper Bjørke, now puts an end to Hanseatic understatement: “hamburg elektronisch” is a new compilation series of awesome electronic beats from the river Elbe, the first installment focu- ses solely on House music. The 20 tracks of this download-only com- pilation, among which are three exclusives, not only feature old masters like DJ Koze and Lawrence, promising newcomers like Smallpeople und Wareika, but also showcase the most important melting pots of the Hamburg scene.
The new drive of the city is mostly accumulated in two spots: Smallville Records, the first of them, proves that the classic record store still can be of relevance, no matter how much discourse about releases and pro- ducers is now going on in digital networks. The store is small, but run with knowledge and passion. The people there not only curate their own Smallville parties all around the city, but also run an offspring store in Paris and several great labels: “Smallville” (featured here with tracks by Law- rence and Smallpeople), the vinyl-only imprint „Laid“ and, of course, „Dial Records“,the most-famous electronic label in Hamburg, because of its unique melancholic approach to techno music (check out Isolée on this compilation). On top of that, people who help there at the counter also run their labels like RvdS (whose “it’s”-platform is represented here with „A Walk On The Moon“) or book great parties like the “Dear” nights at the “Ego” club - the second epicentre in Hamburg at the moment.
With the “Ego” in the outskirts of the world famous Reeperbahn the city finally has a great techno club again, in addition to the „Baalsaal“ and „Neidklub“. Its owner Solomun also runs the booking agency and label “Diynamic” in the same building. The label already released nearly 50 records in quite a short time and thus is featured heavily here. Apart from Solomun check out Stimming, DJ Phono and H.O.S.H. The latter is also responsible for the ever-growing “Grünanlagen” Open Air parties who usually have an awesome line-up, although they are free.
Apart from other important concert venues like the „Uebel &amp; Gefähr- lich“ and all the nice bars of St. Pauli between the Reeperbahn and the Schanze quarter, at the end of the night the Hamburg scene still meets at the Golden Pudel Club at the harbour. Despite some difficulties it is still going strong and uncommercial after more then twenty years. Not only most of the artists mentioned before run parties here, but lots of the other labels in this collection as well like Liebe*Detail (Wareika, Lo- vebirds), Dérive (Christopher Rau) or Mirau (Tensnake). At the Pudel so many different people and music scenes engage in creative friction. This multitude of styles will be covered in future parts of this “Hamburg elektronisch” series that will also be released on CD. Cause hanseatic understatement is over.

PRESS RELEASE JULY 2010

What is the common factor between Giorgio Moroder, Ray Mang, Leroy Burgess, Ilija Rudman and Newcleus? Well, they are all part of the new MB DISCO label hailing from Sweden. It is masterminded by Martin Brodin, the founder of Deeplay Music. With this label he wanted to go back to his Disco roots. Disco Music has always been in Martin’s blood and now he felt it was time to play tribute to it. So how has he done it? The answer is very simple, mix up the old disco feeling with modern sound.

We can call it Nu-Disco, Post-Disco, Disco for 2010 or whatever suits you. For Martin it’s just about the feeling for what he believes is Disco. We will release old-skool super limited 10” vinyl records (yes we’re crazy!!) together with the modern digital downloads to keep our self in the loop of the todays business.

If the legendary Loft was still around, people would probably jump around of joyness. Shining disco balls, hands in the air, roller skating girls, lollipops and a touch of Larry Levan.

Here we have MB DISCO
