Tropical Disco's first vinyl outing serves up 4 stellar disco reworks tailor made for dancefloors worldwide.

Dr Love is a veteran and key tastemaker / vinyl junkie on the Montreal scene and Laura Ingalls is a wandering French person of no specific sex who has recently landed in the French Canadian city and they both bonded over their love of anything Disco and Poutine, the main local dish which consists of potato, cheese, gravy and maybe sometimes added meat!Dr Love likes to dig but doesn't really produce while Laura Ingalls is not the most efficient digger and only seems to unearth old Folk and obscure Arabic music for their personal collection but has serious production skills.A1 - Laura Ingalls & Dr Love - Oh Mon Amour 6m 02s Very hard to find anything online about Idris Cheba who's real name is Serge Michael Bijaoui but this was a classic at the famous parisian disco Le Palace in the early 80's when it was released.A2 - Laura Ingalls & Dr Love - Weekend Mouillé 5m 42s This is an odd one, a jazz disco thing from the mid 70's, the producer Art Polhemus is actually more a rock producer and this track sticks out like a sore thumb in his discography.AA1 - Laura Ingalls & Dr Love - Ecoute Mon Coeur 5m 38s Peter Godwin who wrote this was in the band Metro and then went on to write and produce a lot of 80's new wave in France and across Europe, the original is definitely a guilty pleasure, both Dr Love and Laura Ingalls are closet Italo fans and even though this is from Belgium it bares all the cheesy Italo stigmata: big synths, big drums, english vocals with a bad accent!AA2 - Laura Ingalls & Dr Love - Soul Ma Coco 5m 48s This is a cover of Manu Dibango's Soul Makossa obviously, this version kept the melody and changed the lyrics slightly, Bayete is a South African band but the album was only released in Canada and Belgium.

Hot Toddy makes his debut on House of Disco records with this 3 tracker of originals where love is the message.

New York and Chicago collide on a one sided stone cold summer jam !Made for DJ's to play and dancers to dance to !

On this fourth release for Revision Records, The Reflex offers a brand new take on the mega classic ANSUN, breaking down the multitracks to reveal multiple layers of groove and musicianship.On the B side, probably the best multis remix of this song around, a super tight arrangement and crisp production make this the only version you'll ever need to play out.

Byron the Aquarius fires up the MPC for a journey into the stratosphere, bringing the heat for Ele Records 3rdedition with "Planet Rock", a jazz infected keyboard jam with chopped hip hop samples echoing into the cosmos.Cozy Bear follows with "Nudi Riddim" a delectable mix of African percussion, jazz samples and acidic basslines.On the B side we find more hip hop infused methodology, with Glenn Davis digging into Salsoul's back catalogue with his huge summer anthem "Holdin On".Finally, Unknown Artist is back on Ele following on from the huge anthem Ru$h. This time it's back to the MPC with a Daft Punk style 90's disco banger "Fade (Never Know)".

Yet another highly in-demand 12" from the Philadelphia International stable and an artist whose records never go out of date! This is a killer double-sided beauty with the frenetic and jazzy "Life On Mars" from his debut 1976 album on the top-side and the mellow all-time classic and soul boy anthem "The Sweetest Pain" from 1979 on the flip.Two very different sides of a great artist, both of which show the level of diversity that he was capable of producing. The last legitimate release of this was back 1999 and a Mint copy will currently set you back circa £50, if you can ever find one.Fully remastered on limited edition 180 gram heavyweight vinyl.

Some records are timeless and never age - "Happiness Is Just Around The Bend" by The Main Ingredient is one of those records. Originally released in 1974, "Happiness" was a record before it's time - had it been released a year later it would undoubtedly have been one of the first 12" discs - so as a result, most discerning DJs at the time chose to play the album cut.The song is actually a cover of UK Prog-Jazz band Brian Auger's Oblivion Express's version from the year before but Main Ingredient took the song to a whole new level and, 44 years later, it has become one of the most revered dance tunes of all-time.Main Ingredient were unlucky with 12" releases, which is why we're delighted to give "Evening Of Love" it's first-ever 12" release! Once again this was a 1981 album track which years later it would become a Modern Soul anthem and rightfully be regarded as one of their best records.Fully remastered on limited edition 180 gram heavyweight vinyl.
