Ghetto Disco Records is a small, Edinburgh based, Disco Rework label, formed as the brainchild of Natasha and Dennis Probert (Daughter & Father Duo!)The popular radio show, hosted by the duo, 'Ghetto Disco' has acted a catalyst for this venture. After gaining increased popularity across the globe, Natasha & Dennis felt it was only natural to take their passion for music and vinyl that step further. With a stream of high quality re-work exclusives being sent into to be played on air, the opportunity arose to turn this into something more.This label aims to promote the high-end spectrum of the Disco edits scene with an array of prestigious producers that are popular within the modern Disco world. Each release will initially be limited edition to 500 copies with the opportunity to increase this, dependant on demand.The first release turns to one of Disco's hot tickets, Serge Gamesbourg. Serge has built up a strong reputation on the music scene through his fantastic productions that have been released on Rahaan's Street Edits label and Kon's recent compilation on BBE.The Cool, The Hip & The Square The Cool, The Hip & The Square" a cheeky take on the tune that inspired the record label. Sharp, funky tones with a contemporary vibe. Perfect for the dance floor, this track has already experienced fantastic feedback and demand. Whether it's a disco set or a funk set, this track will integrate seamlessly.Bring Them Back Together' is the epitome of the classic orchestral Philly sound brought up to date. Perfect material for a wam-up set that would also work oh so well in the sunshine.

Flumo's first vinyl offering for 2017 sees Chocky returning with three original signature tracks along with a remix from true craftsman Orlando Voorn.Higher Synth, the first cut on the record rolls out the instantly recognizable Chocky sound to full effect. Looped chords set the rhythm in motion & the vocal sample provides just enough variety within the track to mix things up and keep you moving.Orlando Voorn's take on Higher Synth enhances the weight and heaviness of the original, the wooden bass kick and crisp synth layers provide a refreshing satisfying take on things.The flip side contains two tracks, first of which is Seek Deep, a track that similarly maintains Chocky's signature vibe whilst also paying homage to deeper, classic house tracks with a spoken Word vocal.. This track was first made available on Flumo's Unreleased Highlights Volume 4 compilation, and it now sees an anticipated vinyl release.Closing off the package is Chocky's Brush Away, a track delving into the hypnotic sphere, where field-recorded vocals and trumpet lines create a late night groove aimed straight at the dancefloor. Chocky returns to the label and he delivers.

Disco Dynamo, Pontchartrain flexes his best for Whiskey Disco 51. An out-and-out showcase of the Detroit native's house background and disco leanings.

WotNot are proud to unveil another new exciting artist, songwriter/producer William Florelle, who follows in the footsteps of previous debutantes like K15 (who features here), Glenn Astro, Deft and many other now established (or quickly establishing) artists.The Will Flo project aims to deliver unique collaborations with each output, evolving to suit the combined inspiration of William and his collaborators. While he names a staggering variety of musical styles among his influences, this release takes the form of a highly swung, left-field R&B, with jazz and afro-beat influences. Think 22a with more pronounced R&B flavours.The EP washes Lua's beautiful delicate but expressive vocals over distorted jazz and soul samples like fragments of dreams remembered. As with a dream there is a mix of the unsettling with the profoundly beautiful; As The Sun Sets opens with bumpy, muddy 4x4, before reaching out into a sunny, optimistic chorus.The vocals become increasingly scattered as the release progresses, Next Time I'll Learn repeating almost mantra like, in a thick haze punctuated by a booming kick, guitar stabs and Rhodes licks. Follow layers the vocals even more hypnotically and unintelligibly, over a beat like a noodling final chord in a jazz track turned into the main event.Title track Two & Three decorates a nostalgic piano loop with synth swells for a wistful finale to wrap up the EP proper perfectly.Remixes from two of our favourite artists compliment the A side. WotNot veteran K15 builds on the release's fragmentary style with a syncopated riff and Rhodes loop sampled from Next Time I'll Learn, opening to a catchy but off-kilter synth hook, with Lua's vocals floating over the final third of the track. Stefan Ringer's (aka Rekchampa - PPU / The Love Below) semi-broken flip of Follow sees angular house organ and bubbling bass providing a robust underscore to the dreamy vocals.Massive shout to Raimund Wong on the artwork!
