Carol Dionne - I'm In Love With You (LUP INO Rework)

The Definitive Collection 
Many of these are hard to find and expensive in original format and with their groovy magic and floor filling delights are well worth having.

This collection of rare club music, cut to a DJ-friendly template focusses in on the eye of the 70's club storm, the tracks instantly transport you back to a NYC of steaming sidewalks and liberated fire hydrants. These are immaculately crafted songs, delivered with smooth confidence arranged with plenty of instrumental grooving - and blissful, elongated heavy disco-funk, underground gospel disco, quirky grooves an underground jamz from back in the day. 

This sweat-soaked delightfully analogue and retro jazz-funk disco heaviness comes with upbeat, accessible tunes come with modern soul and lots of lovely frills.

So many of these are set to become classics it's pointless picking a favourite - A superb collection of timeless sounds.

D - Groove Control (FF Edits)

"C'est Ma Vie" is the debut release from Cartagena, Colombia-originated and Toronto, Canada-based Musa Paradise. This is the first single off of the upcoming album for the band, and is a genre-blurring fusion of Afro-Latin soul, deep house, and nostalgic electronic textures.

Built on a foundation of vintage drum machines, 909 hi-hat patterns, and house-inspired grooves, “C’est Ma Vie” pulses with an understated, late-night energy. Layers of analog synths, hypnotic guitars, and live Afro-Cuban percussion bring a raw, organic dimension to the production, while subtle Afro-Colombian elements — including the maracón and tamboras of the chalupa rhythm — enrich the beat with ancestral depth. French vocals float above the arrangement, adding a poetic, intimate presence. Both lush and shadowy, "C’est Ma Vie" evokes a tropical melancholy — a reflective dance between the past and present, memory and movement.

Musa Paradise was formed in 2018 by longtime friends and musical collaborators, Jimmy Kiddo and Cesar Caballero. Inspired by Cartagena’s tropical vibe, Jimmy and Cesar experimented with an array of afro-Colombian and afro-Caribbean sounds. With fusions of Latin, rock, pop and electronic influences; all of these explorations have helped define their personal identities and have become the bedrock for Musa Paradise’s musical and cultural direction.

“C’est Ma Vie” is released August 22nd, 2025 on @Permaculturerecordings.

Rocksteady Disco is extremely excited to release this multi-faceted EP from one of American dance music’s most prolific musical minds: JKriv. First up, is “Aguaxirê”— a deep Afro-Brazilian house cut in praise of the Yoruban orisha Oya. Full of moody Detroit-style pads, driving percussion, acid basslines, live trumpet (performed by Escort mainstay Nathan Warner), and an expertly plucked sample, this 9 minute odyssey is crafted for ecstatic dance floor use. Moving to the B side, we hear J rework the música popular brasileira classic “Ive Brussel” into a pool-side day party anthem, complete with a full overdub of the bassline by J with his Fender Jazz bass. Following that is a traditional deejay edit of “Deep Cove View”, a breezy and chilled out Brazilian jazz fusion cut with plenty of piano, slap bass, and vocal scatting. J flexes his production, performance, and arrangement prowess here, delivering 3 tracks ready for the party, the after hours, or the after-after hours.
