Whiskey Disco continues to explore boundaries; blurring lines between original and edit, disco and oddity. WD47 is helmed by Dutchman, Olivier Boogie, an artist known for strengths across the spectrum, in previous releases, we’ve seen his editing on display, No Goodbye is a fine balance between original synthesis and editing panache. Thoma Cher is a newcomer to the edit scene, but has been heavily involved in a disco and house renaissance occurring in Shanghai over the last few years. His club chops have honed an acute ear, we love what we’re hearing from him and can’t wait for more. 

The B-Side is everything a B-Side should be: weird. Label staple, Alkalino guides us along a cosmic journey of boogie-down grooves. Arps, baby. We love em. SF crew, JP Soul & Anthony Mansfield have been attracting serious attention of late between outings on Roam Recordings and sightings at the famous Burning Man camp, Disco Knights. To say they are ravelords is an understatement. Their pedigree is on full display in Warlord, equal parts Arp energy and HUGE (HUGE) lead, the right balance of fun and cheese.

6. B3. Turntill & Merlin feat. Doppia Erre & Sky 189 – Break A Day (Quincy Jointz Remix)

Coming soon on 12" vinyl on Breakbeat Paradise Recordings...

Breakbeat Paradise Recordings has teamed up with The Chosen Few Records to proudly presents the latest escapade of TURNTILL & MERLIN: "BREAK A DAY". This tune is dedicated to all the b-boys and other funkateers worldwide that love the drumsound and the funk. The MCs on the song are DOPPIA ERRE from Apulia, Italy and SKY 189 from Capetown, South Africa. 
Both are true Hip Hop heads that love the art of breaking! In the hook you hear the sweet, catchy voices of Stella Baraldo and Dominique Bouvier. A real powerful b-boy anthem and club joint alike, which is interpreted in five additional versions on a six track 12” vinyl release.

Guests on the A-Side are DJ KID STRETCH (Greece), FUNKY BOOGIE BROTHERS (Belarus) who is giving the tune a new flow in the oldskool b-boy direction. On the flip side we have invited some of the very best from the Ghetto-Funk scene to give the tunes an injection of electro vibes and big basslines. For this job we called upon the dream team DUBRA X ARTEO (Latvia) and ghetto funk superstar B-SIDE (United Kingdom) who are always armed to the teeth with big beats and electro basslines. Last but not least we sent for a true veteran and pioneer in the Nu Funk scene QUINCY JOINTZ (Germany) to do his thing on the electro side of this vinyl release.

The funky beats and breaks has once again brought people together from all over the world to collaborate on this big release that not only tips the hat to the b-boy community but also pushes the limit to the new eras of funk music. Something we share the vision for and feel strongly about on both Breakbeat Paradise Recordings and at The Chosen Few Records.

Feedback from the scene:

„The mighty Turntill has done it again, this time with a party track that reaches back to the disco roots and a hook that is sure to become the next anthem for b-boys, b-girls, and funk lovers. Can't wait to watch the people get down to this one!“
- DJ CHiEF (B-boysounds, Backyard Funk Crew, Florida USA)

"A solid release with great production a host of killer remixers." 
- ALL GOOD FUNK ALLIANCE (Springfield Virginia, USA)

„Truly international alliance dropping bombs! The remixes are killin' it!“
- MARC HYPE (Dusty Donuts, Berlin Germany)

„Big funk break and ghetto tune with a lot of sunshiny and urban lyrics...also a bit 80/90 ́s flavour as well will meet a lot of generation ́s on the dancefloor! addiotional remixes from funky boogie brothers for all b girls and b boys in every age!“
- MAXWELL SMART (Smith & Smart, Radio Fritz, Berlin Germany)

„I Love the original Version and Kid Stretch Remix. The Original Version is an awesome Breakbeat burner for the Floor. Dope Beatz, great Vocals and nice B-Boy Vibe on it. Full Support!“
- JAYL FUNK (Honkey Phonk, Goodgroove, Nürnberg Germany)

RNT028 - Razor-N-Tape

PREMIERE : Reverend P - Soul Fire [Razor-n-Tape]

The Funk Fury - Dancin' in the Ghetto

112 kbps files for preview - don't be a dunce!

For his first outing on RNT, Parisian soul-slinger @djreverendp brings his signature reverent touch to a tasty edit 4 pack. The A-side comes in hot with the well-worn but ever-funky “Feel The Heat” then finishes sweet with “Strong Enuff,” reworking an often overlooked soul burner. On the flip we have the crooning and swooning late-nite vibes of “The Way You Get Me” followed by “Soul Fire,” a clever bit of edit cheekiness that’s sure to turn some heads and move them bootays!

Edits, edits, edits. They are everywhere at the moment! There is a label that has been dealing out the good stuff, the pure, 100% authentic raw stuff for a considerable amount of time. This label has been doing their thing since the edit game exploded, the disco DJ’s favourite, Razor-N-Tape (soundcloud).
If, like us, you are an avid follower of the label then you will know what to expect from their Edit series. Fun, groovy and unquestionably excellent source material, all releases are tasteful homages to the originals, not overdone but with just the right amount of dance floor impact for modern audiences.
Today’s premiere comes from Reverend P (soundcloud), a Parisian disco don with a history of making killer edits for G.A.M.M. and Basic Fingers. Track B1 is called Way U Get Me.

It’s not easy to get the balance right when approaching someone as legendary as Barry White, but Reverend P nails it. An altogether DJ friendlier cut, the track builds as the original does but this edit teases and teases without using the overblown sections that the album version has.
There’s nothing quite like Barry's velvety smooth voice, this edit cuts the right amount and uses the beats and bass with a smattering of the horn section perfectly. All in all, a very well thought out and dancefloor orientated edit. This will be on rotation for a long time!
We look forward to his next edit choice and also the next instalment in Razor-N-Tape’s wonderful series.
You can buy the 12” now via Juno

Side AA: Music Up (Reworked by Derek Kaye)

Selected by GW

Derek Kaye married his schoolboy passions of music and electronics in 1973 when he constructed his first disco sound system, aged just 13. Prior to this, with DJ equipment something of a rarity in those days, he created a custom setup that bypassed the need for a mixer by rewiring his turntables in such a way that he could flip the sound from one deck to another, and installed a switch that would dip the music so a microphone from a portable cassette player could be used to announce the song on rotation. His work soon grew in sophistication and a new console was built, with his schoolmate, Greg Wilson, buying Derek’s old rig, thus beginning his own well-documented DJ career.

Over the past 40 years, Derek has continued to DJ in and around the North West, both in residencies and guest spots, and his passion for music and electronics are still just as strong. His enviable studio has gone through the transitions of working with notator (the forerunner to logic) on the studio essential Atari 1040 ste with a collection of keyboards and Akai samplers, to just about “working out of the box” as is the case with a lot of studios now.

Today, a lifetime of experience is being teased out of the connoisseur by lifelong friend and A&R curator Greg Wilson, beginning with the double header of 'Nobody' and 'Music Up': both reworks have caused dance floor rapture for Greg over recent months and, as festival season fast approaches, they are now being shared amongst the wider DJ community for the very first time (Derek and Greg have also recently joined forces to remix Bryan Ferry’s ‘Don’t Stop The Dance’).

'Music Up' is an overhaul of the 1979 Vanguard 12” by the Players Association, Kaye's version injecting further verve into the original with a new bassline, percussion, strings and arrangement. Personally requested by NYC stalwart Danny Krivit when Greg Wilson dropped it during his recent gig at The Date in London, 'Music Up' is a surefire festival favourite, for house and disco heads alike, that’s set to fly this summer.
