Extremely hard to find soul disco from enigmatic soul singer Milton Wright. Most of us are familiar with Wright s steppers anthem Keep It Up and, thanks to Athens Of The North, his debut album Friends And Buddies. Less known, and even harder to find, is his sophomore full length Spaced. It s one of…
PPU comin through with the clutch repress. Minority Band s Tasty Tune was first reissued on PPU back in 2009 (PPU-007 if you re keeping tabs) and quietly grew in demand and price as copies disappeared to those in the know. Seeing as copies were reaching upwards of $50, Peoples Potential did another run, this time…
Monster italo classic right here for all you space disco freaks. If you don t know Mr. Flagio s epic italo masterpiece Take A Chance, it s time to get familiar. If the pumping arpeggiator bass, driving drums in the intro don t suck you in, the super-hype chorus and vocoder verses will. This is the only italo…
Hawaiian soul holy grail reissued for first time! Thank the heavens for those like minded individuals that love great music and keep the modern DJs diggers in mind. While reissues still might be frowned upon in some circles the facts remain, some things just need to be unleashed again for the world to enjoy it…
An Italo classic with an interesting back story if there ever was one. Originally recorded in 1983 by Italo producer Roberto Ferrante, Come On Closer features vocals that have a surprisingly decent American accent for an Italian record. They re voiced by Douglas Roop, a soldier from Texas who was stationed at a NATO base…
Ooh that s fonky! Pino Presti s 1976 Italian disco rarity gets a long-overdue reissue on 12 with the absolutely killer, previously unreleased long version! Check the sound sample for Funky Bump and just try not grooving in your seat. The track grooves with major funk at every corner- from the heavy beat, to those…
So nice they had to do it twice. Another helping of funky chillout grooves, slow cosmic disco and balearic oddities from Psychemagik. The UK duo have come full circle and complete the Magik trilogy started with Magik Cyrkles and Magik Sunrise with the second part of Magik Sunrise. Once again Psychemagik prove to be in a class all their own with…
G.A.M.M. hits their 100th release! What better way for the Swedish label to celebrate No. 100 than with a pair of sure shot MJ edits from The Reflex and Moplen? London-based producer DJ The Reflex kicks off the celebration with an extended rework of Burn The Disco Out that sure to set the party off, while Moplen…
Highly sought after 82 Indian disco fusion LP given first official reissue. This fiendishly elusive and addicting LP has been harder and harder to come by as original copies have topped out at upwards of $750 USD. Thanks to the power of the algorithm, the album (and specifically the track Aaj Shanibar ) reached a…
Put the boogie in your body. Salsoul Boogie Essentials Volume 1 digs through the vaults of the seminal NYC label and selects 4 sure shot boogie gems to move the floor. This volume includes Cream De Coco s Disco Strut, O.R.S. Body To Body Boogie, Aura s Such A Feeling, and the Francois K 12 mix…
Well, here s one you don t see everyday. Originally released in 1979, the sole release from Sandwich is something of a holy grail for the deep italo cosmic disco nerdus. I mean just look at that cover, with the strange illustration of a caveman-looking dude noshing on a sandwich, all crudely drawn… this thing just screams cult…
Essential. Upon first listen you re probably gonna feel just like I did, a big SO?! So what s the big deal, an ok record that costs too much money? Wrong! Wrong! Get your ears together, this record is nuts, you just gotta hear it right. I thought for a long time that the Risco…
The disco reissue gods shine down on the Lab once again. This time it is the mythical Disco Shitan 12 that gets the long overdue repress. Not only does this record have an unforgettable name, it also sounds incredible. The release was actually a one-off project by Italian disco genius karate master Pino Presti where he took on the slomo…
