Coming straight off the back of two well-thumbed EPs, Ruben &amp; Ra welcome Spanish boogie chronicler Rayko to their West London-based Retrospective imprint for Retro003. 

Ra: “we just had to reach out to Rayko after he sent us his edits of Dazz Band’s ‘Let It Whip’ and ‘Contagious’ by The Whispers”.

Over on the flip, Madrid’s finest has given Evelyn ‘Champagne’ King’s 1982 classic ‘Love Come Down’ a modern rework, plus completing the package Ruben &amp; Ra have added their version.

Who said the spirit of house music was dead?

This is our first release on the new label Retrospective

PREMIERE: The Funk District - Let Yourself Be Free [Sundries]

Following early outings on Electric Friends and Spa In Disco, fast-rising producer JMMSTR (no relation to Freerange boss Jimpster) makes a first appearance on Slightly Transformed. There are two tracks to set the pulse racing. Opener "New York" is a confirmed mid-tempo treat: a woozy, 112 BPM shuffler that layers flash-fried guitars and piano-laden snippets from a swirling, string-laden disco classic atop thickset bass and bongo-heavy nu-disco beats. Virtual B-side "You Took" employs bouncier and crispier beats, with the producer utilizing filter effects to tease in elements of a female-fronted disco-funk number. The vocal breakdown is life affirming, but it's the trippy treatment of the sample source's hard-wired guitars that catches the ear.

Hi everyone, enjoy my new "Paris Edits vol. 7" on G.A.M.M, available on limited vinyl & digital (purchase links below !!!).
________________________________
Review :
"The seventh (!) volume of high class reworks from rising star Young Pulse is here and it's a banger !. With a mixed bag of jazz-funk, early 80's boogie and high energy disco there is something for everyone here. But we really wanna give the A side track 'Bobo's Reason'(Willie Bobo) an extra mention...proper full on summer jazz-funk with a slight disco edge. Feel good material".

B side features a heavy edit of Beggar&Co - Keep On Running, originally 1:25 long, now turned into a 5mn weapon with new parts, and don't miss the retake on Jo Bisso - Love Somebody, with its endless fat disco groove. Additional productions + masterings by myself, an other great release to play loud !
