This is Mike Kee’s second release on Ruf Kutz—he was said to be a figurehead of Sydney’s shady underground squat parties (his first release was the 2010 “Sydney Disco Mafia” EP).

Mike Kee is a face from the early days - red-lit rooms of the Bodega mushro ...Read more (Original Japanese text by Saito)om squat parties in Sydney. This is a second release for Mike Kee on Ruf Kutz since 'Seeing Crystals' on RK2 in 2010. Recorded in the rainforests of Bundjalung Country (northern NSW, Australia). Making good use of a Fender Rhodes and a JX-8P synthesiser. WHITE CLOUD PLACE is a destination that doesn't exist. Glimpsed once on a street sign, filed away in the imagination and allowed to bloom into an imagined geography of warmth and weightlessness. The music is lush dream house that elicits euphoria out of the speakers and into the body. Mike Kee has been chasing this feeling across his music and here it lands cleanly. Flip the record and the temperature ratchets up. BANANA MOON is one for the dancers - shuffling congas push the pace while Rhodes chords and those big analog synth strings hold the whole thing aloft. Where the A-side invites you to float, Banana Moon keeps it pitched up and jazzy.  』 (Original Japanese text by Saito)

Three tracks of dope new disco and disco dub by Eddie C X Keita Sano! It features a labyrinthine school emblem. (Original Japanese text by Saito)

It’s a star-studded project featuring ...Read more (Original Japanese text by AYAM) artists such as Scott Hirsch, Pearl Charles, Will Worden, and Desert Oracle. The progression from “Slow Train Fuego” (sample_2)—which opens with the sound of crickets and unfolds steadily at 101 BPM—to the liberating finale of “Thunder Exchange” (sample_3) is absolutely fantastic. It’s also fun to listen to the entire album as a single, cohesive party experience. With its memorable synth and guitar phrases and tracks running over three minutes, it’s definitely a great choice for the dance floor. (Original Japanese text by AYAM)

『  The latest edition of 'Downtownsounds Classics' arrives from Dublin disco messers Fatty Fatty, just in time for the summer sunshine ! Fully licensed and cut loud on 12 inch vinyl the way God (aka Walter Gibbons) intended, it sees in-house producers Pablo and Shoey take on two choice cuts from the legendary Salsoul label. Salsoul was the very first label to release a commercially available 12 inch remix - the aforementioned Gibbons and his 9 minute extension of Double Exposure's '10 Per Cent'. They would go on to issue a raft of underground disco classics with mixes by the legendary likes of Larry Levan, Tom Moulton and Shep Pettibone. Having robbed the famous 'Baker-Harris-Young' rhythm section from Philadelphia Records, they defined the disco sound in the second half of the 1970's and kept roaring well into the next decade. The new mixes pay explicit tribute to two hugely formative influences on the Fatty fellas - The A extends the mysterious and wondrously wonky Big Bear edit of Bunny Sigler's 'By The Way You Dance'. Back in the day, these cosmic under-the-counter 12s helped show the Fatties how to disco real right, and they've stood the test of time wonderfully. This one has been at the front of Pablo's bag for longer than he cares to remember, and now the rest of the world can enjoy it, with some extra Pablo and Shoey disco magic thrown in for good measure... Speaking of cosmic, the flip sees the lads turn in a stripped-back, ever-building mix of First Choice 'Hold Your Horses'. Having first heard this played by the Cosmic King himself, Danielle Baldelli, they found themselves let down by the commercially available mix. Through the disco haze, and with some subtle stemming, several outer-space whooshes and a string/vocal climax to die for, they've tried to recreate the way they heard Baldelli play it... With the classic Salsoul artwork also present and correct, this is a love letter to perhaps the most important label in dance music history, with music that still sounds amazing five decades on... Don't sleep!  』

This is a collaboration with producer Giorgio Lopez—who is releasing a solo project on the up-and-coming Berlin-based Balearic label Cosmic Romance, run by Ed Longo, an engineer and producer associated with HONEST JON’S and EARLY SOUNDS—featuring the punchy reggaeton track “Nayar ft.

Deft electronic piano work, a disco-fusion twist that's a shade different from straight jazzy fare, electronic house, and pure funkiness. Leading things off is A1 with its one-of-a-kind world, followed by "7 Squares" with its tribal, uniquely percussive feel and grooving bass, and closing out with a disco-sample-style loop and a groove laced with drum breaks. Impeccable work, as you'd expect. (Original Japanese text by Saito)

From CLAPTRAP—which hadn’t released any physical releases for a while, even after their previous hit JOHANNES KLINGEBIEL, which is still a hit at our store—comes a new release already! This reissue carefully restores and remasters a hidden gem that had been overlooked in the history of Italian disco, sourced directly from the original 1/2-inch tape ...Read more (Original Japanese text by Akie). This straight-ahead Italo track, brimming with melancholy, features a raw, blossoming melody layered with FRANCISCO D’ARGENTO’s own bass vocals and the deep vocals of his wife and model, ELEANORA—all expertly reworked in a skillful remix. A particular highlight is the “Nello Spazio Mix” (sample 1) by DR VALENTINE, which boldly slows down the tempo and skillfully transforms the track into a hypnotic, alternative disco tune. It’s fascinating how each remix carefully reworks the moody, raw quality of the original into a trendy, hypnotic vibe. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
