For the next installment of Manc institution El Diablo’s Social Club’s ‘To Rack & Ruin’ edits series comes from local Manc lads Out of the Basement who bring us two late summer bombs.
These tracks have both been kicking around for over a year now in slightly different forms but now we bring them to you fully refined and suitably mastered heavily for the dancefloor.

Out of the Basement are Steve Leggat and James Ellis. Both have been involved in Manchester's colourful music scene - amongst other things Steve has been running legendary Beat Club with The Stone Roses Mani and James is the founder of Manchester's now defunct deep house label ‘Drenched’.

Side A is a splendid edit of lost soul classic with beats and instruments added for full effect. Side B is a sleazy slo mo cut up of the Brothers Johnson version of the Shuggie Otis anthem 'Strawberry Letter 23'.

300 ltd handstamped vinyl available from all good record stores late September.

Paxton Fettel - Tripped Out

This EP features edits by Bottin, Sleazy McQueen, Albion, The Ivory Boy and Avanti. All tracks are edits from obscure Italian songs released between 1974 and 1980.
Comes in a handmade jacket, limited pressing.

Reviews:
Picadelly Records: Red hot batch of Italian edits including a sweet Bottin rework of Loredana Berte's "Ti Piacerebbe", the original of which currently changes hand for over £100 on the second hand market

Juno: If you're going to launch a new re-edit series, it's probably wise to get some big hitters on board. That's certainly what the people behind Theme From Kaffe have done for their debut offering. Italian heavyweights Bottin lead the way with "Ora La So", a lo-slung, Clavinet-heavy chunk of dirty Balearica blessed with sleazy, whispered vocals. Sleazy McQueen continues the eccentric theme with the chugging reggae-disco bounce of "Back To Hell", before Albion ups the tempo on the dusty, vocoder-laden wonky disco chug of "Experimento". An excellent EP concludes with the sprawling soundtrack disco of Ivory Boy's "Mare" and "Bright Mezcal" by Avanti, a curiously bumpin chunk of dub disco weirdness blessed with alien synths and a brilliantly rubbery bassline.

 I ain't out for nobody. Make me out to be no fool. All the mysteries of life that I've learned. They can't teach you in school...

Barbara St. Clair - Teacherman (Hober Mallow No Fool Remix)

Call us crazy, but we've always had a soft spot for Crazy P here at Data Transmission, which if you knew what the 'P' stood for, makes that sentence take on a whole new colour... Anyhoo, what we're trying to say is that the pioneering UK trio have been able to call us fans for a long time and so it didn't take us long - less than half a second in fact - to say yes when they offered us band member Hot Toddy's remix of 'Something More' to premiere.

Taken from their acclaimed album, ‘Walk Dance Talk Sing’, which arrived via their own Walk Don't Walk imprint earlier in the year, Toddy reshapes 'Something More' into, well something more, transforming the broody, guitar driven original into a retrofitted slice of disco jam packed with groove and guaranteed to get hips swaying on the dance floor.

Arriving October 30th as part of a package that also sees Ron Basejam, Asadinho, Juju & Jordash and Luke Solomon serve up remixes of cuts from their last album, you can stream Hot Toddy's 'Disco Redux' of Crazy P's 'Something More' in full below.

Oh boy, that came around quick!  One day we’re faxing giant penises to magazines and the next we’ve got kids and are on our 200th single release.  It’s been 22 years since things kicked off with Salt City Orchestra’s The Book and in the intervening years we’ve hopefully carved out our little corner in the pantheon of house music.  We’ve lived by our first “hidden” message on PAP001 “Look Forward Not Back” by keeping on keeping on but this is a chance to buy ourselves a pint.

PAP200 is three tracks from friends new and old that originally came out on a limited edition 12” Record Store Day release.  Crazy P(enis) return to the fold for the first time since 2003 and it’s good to have them back.  Last Knockers has their trademark stripped back electronic funk with Danielle Moore adding the disco fizz. There’s plenty of wonk and roll as it builds over 10 glorious minutes.

When Steve Cobby was asked what Paper meant to him he said “northern musical heritage” and we’ll take that.  He has been knocking it out the park since the early 90s and this is his debut release for the label.  Boule De Suif is a trip through funk and soul that is timeless but of it’s time; it’s what Herbie would sound like if he had grown up in Hull.

Finally Flash Atkins goes down a more conventional route with his trademark layered sound.  What starts as a straight forward deep house track evolves with trippy vocals and a chorus that brings the hairs up on the back of your neck.  Mixmag liked it so much they gave it their Disco Single of the Month.

Sir Own - Hooked (Kon's Nite Time Remix)

Paper has been pushing all things deep house and disco from the furthest reaches of the world via the good old North of England since the early Nineties.

The label has already featured a new series of EP's showcasing the best new dance music and future funk, house and disco from the world's finest producers.

We kicked off in 1994, leading the upsurge in popularity of UK house music within an underground scene previously dominated by a soundtrack from US cities like Chicago, Detroit and New York. Enhanced by a strong visual identity, as well as impeccable musical quality control PAPER was, and is one of the world’s most treasured record companies.

It continues to be funk-fuelled and bottom heavy!
