For it's fourth release, Jongno Edits got two tracks of pure korean grooves by editing wizard Mori Ra.Two sides, two atmospheres: Side A is a boogie banger that embraces all the elements of the top tunes of that era: strong drum beat, slappy bass synth and violins break downs…Reinforced by killer funky guitars and congas that hold the groove tight! Side B is your perfect sunset balearic cut for this summer.The dreamlike bells match perfectly the suave voices to prepare your ascend to the clouds of delayed organs and acoustic guitar where Jeju becomes Ibiza…

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.

Recently on fire with a string of releases for the labels STAR CREATURE and TUGBOAT EDITS, HOTMOOD shows no sign of letting up with 4 more disco edits for the EDITORIAL label.

Hell Yeah is back with more beach ready and boat party styled summer tunes, this time from Riccio. This Italian producer has long been making essential edits, off kilter grooves and soul kissed house sounds that demand to be played loud and these new ones are no different.Described by the label boss as Balearic Big Beat, this EP kicks off with Afro Chemy, a scorching seven minute tune that builds on a bed of fat drums. The scattered percussion is loose and organic and when the funky bass and colourful xylophone sounds comes in you can't help but cut loose. Add in a sexy trumpet line and you have the sound of summer distilled into seven sensational minutes.Funky Cave will get any party started with its old school drum breaks and cymbal splashes sounding like the ocean when you plunge in on a hot day. Busted bass lines add a certain fatness and cosmic keys and steamy guitar licks make this another perfect outdoor anthem.Last of all is the blissed out Heather, one to drop at sundown after a long day's dancing. The beats are warm and lumpy, the synths smear out to the horizon like gently breaking waves and soulful leads really get your heart swelling. Proper.

YSE , aka Ant Plate, also known as one half of stellar British Deep House Duo Rhythm Plate - makes his Editorial debut with a strong 4 tracker, complete will deep disco / house crossover jams for the dancefloor, a Slo-Mo Funk Bomb in "Bow Legged Robot" and a tropical breeze of a tune on "Optimistic Voyeur"it all adds up to a great plate of wax.. coming soon on Purple Limited Edition Vinyl !

BACK IN STOCK !!!Gene Siewing - the St Louis DJ and producer now making serious waves in Berlin - kicks off the first release on his new label in fine style. Intent Recordings looks set to be a buy-on-sight operation, prizing quality over quantity, and on a mission to provide music aimed firmly at the dance-floor, whatever the genre. As such, it's the perfect outlet for Gene's own productions - a conduit for the grooving, funk ' n' disco infused house sound that he is fast becoming known for.Intent 01 introduces us to the mouthwatering new Dropouts project- a collaboration between Gene and man-of-the-moment Max Graef - the young Berliner on everyone's radar after a string of exceptional releases. The streak continues on the Dropped Out EP - Gene and Max clearly had fun in the studio, riffing on their shared love of deep, grooving house music.Cool-Track 42 sets out the tone - lush chords, a bouncy bassline, and crisp, rolling drums, offset perfectly with Gene's occasional vocals and Max's innate sense of dancefloor know-how. A true deep burner that will stay rooted in the bag for a long time.The flip is equally impressive - a mid tempo (108BPM) chugger that highlights Dropouts' true essence - a love for music with integrity and soul. A sweet vocal sample combines with Detroit-deep chords, firing percussion and a massive bassline. Raw and funky, soulful and uplifting, this is house music with intent.

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