Disco/Nu-Disco

On this third delivery from AM Records the A-side is reserved for two disco edits by grandmaster Loud-E and new kid on the block Baerlz from Paris. Here's Jonny is a pushy synthetic track build from Claudia Barry's Open the Door and Dis-Le-Mewa is a sweet Bollywood rework, fine-tuned to sound nice on heavy club systems. The flip side contains two more contemporary afro house edits by Afrobot: Kwaito is a subtly pounding percussive South African jam and Angola House Marimba is a fast Kuduro banger with a raw vocal sample. Handstamped artwork by Frank Koedood on the sleeve again.

"Diggin Deeper brings the funk with a Trans-Atlantic split EP from two edit masters" DISCO BOOGIE EDITS!!!

Danny Krivit's name has been synonymous with quality, underground dance music for many decades now. His roles as re-edit pioneer, legendary NYC disc jock and all around music obsessive have long been written about. Danny is approaching 45 years as a DJ, almost half a century behind the decks across the world and he shows no sign in stopping anytime soon fortunately! Quite fitting then, that he has opened up his personal, private archive of re-edits for all of us Disco fiends to enjoy and play over and over with this limited, fully licensed 12" release.Any self respecting Disco head should be familiar with the name Voyage. Releasing on Miami's legendary TK Disco imprint as well as numerous other well known labels, Voyage have a dedicated cult following for their percussion heavy euro Disco sounds. Here Mr.K takes on one of their most famous cuts on the A-side - "Lady America" and teases all of the best bits about this uptempo anthem out into the open and straight onto the dancefloor! Breaks are elongated, the right parts are looped in just the right way and the tracks momentum is pushed right through the roof, a Disco bomb indeed! On the B-side we have "Point Zero", a smorgasbord of Afro percussions, chants and rhythms that will literally tear the roof off any club! again DK has tweaked this monster track in all the right places adding his magical editing touch with love and respect, essential stuff and a total dancefloor weapon! Both tracks contained on this 12" have been fully licensed and legitimately reissued in conjunction with Danny Krivit / TK Disco. These edits have been lovingly reworked by Danny with dancers and DJ's alike in mind. A very special release indeed and one that all Disco heads will undoubtedly be excited to see in the shops! Essential release.

NYC Disco legend Danny Krivit returns to the editing block on behalf of seminal Miami Disco powerhouse TK Disco. With 45 years in the DJ game under his belt and having played endless gigs all over the world during that time it's safe to say Mr.K knows exactly what he's doing when it comes to the re-edit thing! With unprecedented access to TK's vaults Danny has been turning in some stellar reworkings as of late and the cuts included on this latest instalment keep the quality sky high!Jo Bisso's unique Disco sound has long been popular with fans of underground dance music, his long percussive cuts have always done the business for DJ's who dig deeper for their sounds giving Bisso some cult "hits" under his belt. "Love somebody" was originally released in 1977 and clocked in at a staggering 16 minutes across 2 separate parts on the LP. Step in editing royalty Danny Krivit, who blesses us with yet another essential Disco weapon in the form of his punchier, stripped back edit of this monster cut. As usual with a Mr.K edit all the right parts have been left in, everything's been touched, reworked, extended and tweaked in just the right ways, the only way a master knows how! This one will work any dance-floor and will sound huge on a good system! Trust us, give it a spin! On the flip we have an extended Mr.K edit of Amant's "Hazy shades of love" lifted from their 1978 self titled LP on TK offshoot Marlin. Amant was another production pseudonym of Ray Martinez, the legendary artist, engineer, producer and remixer who worked with numerous artists including Mongo Santamaria, George McCrae, Quincy Jones and many more. The original version of the track clocked in at over 13 minutes in length and again Danny's edit has packed all the hot action into 9 minutes of Disco heat! 100% legit re-edits, remastered and released in conjunction with Henry Stone Music / TK Disco - Miami FL.

OYE Edits is back with the 2nd release: this time with Jonny Rock, a close friend, who is also responsible for the amazing Disco Hamam & Hamam House releases. Here we have four different styles on one record. From Disco to proto-House to Funk & Balearic... Party music for party people!

Aimed straight at the late-night dancefloors, Disco Bits continues its policy of tweaking dancefloor classics for maximum Disco Power!On the A-side:A1 'Disco Power' - first up is a relatively unknown Afro Disco number by Bomp. Here it's beefed up and re-arranged with extra drums, extra breaks, proper bass and proper Disco Power!A2 'I Wanna Thank You' - The Alicia Myers original has always needed a re-arrangement. The Disco Bits boys take a small scalpel and re-imagine this with a proper verse and chorus taking the classic break and turning this track from an uncut diamond into a finely cut gemOn the flipside we have:B1 'Let's Do It Again' - a classy edit of the Nightlife Unlimited favourite, which builds a deep groove from the bassline up, adding layers of keys and vocals and climaxing with the original's hooky chorus.B2 'Tighten It Up' - The BLT original gets a similarly bass-centric treatment, the evolving groove underpinning the refrain of 'drinkin' wine and wastin' time' as the track builds to reveal its familiar verse and chorus towards the end

MAKE BELIEVE DISCO is a very welcome new addition to the SLEAZYBEATS family of labels! Boasting a consistent and unsurpassed catalogue of releases (across their now retired Sleazy Beats and Black Ops offshoot) the label haven't strayed too far away from a winning formula, while ploughing a deeper furrow with Make Believe Disco.The debut release very capably handled by up & coming French producer Folamour.This under-the-radar craftsman has released a handful of lo-slung sample & deep House cuts on various labels, displaying a flair for combining live instrumentation and deft sample manipulation that brought him to the immediate attention of the SB crew.Folamour kicks things off perfectly with a 3 piece of warm, hook heavy deepness that's impossible to resist, drawing as it does on a rich French heritage of Deep House, with some NY roughness and a certain je ne sais quoi aimed squarely at the hips.
