Single from the upcoming AGFA full length Social Comment. Both these tracks feature rap vocals courtesy of Florida's Swamburger & Alexandrah. Remixes from Berlin's Marc Hype & Jim Dunloop (Melting Pot) and label mate Dr. Delay. -mgmnt

This single-sided release from Mocambo starts with a mean break and then goes into a sinister groove of horns and guitar. Super tight band play a la the JBs. A definite heater. -mgmnt

Originally a 7" release from 2007. "Wind Rose" sounds like it takes some inspiration from Donald Byrd's synthesizer fusion-funk of the late seventies. "Brampton Boogaloo" continues the late-seventies theme with hard basslines and more synth work. -mgmnt

"African Battle" is a cover of Manu Dibango, while the "Sexican" is an original afro-funk piece. Check the majestic horns. -mgmnt

2007 full length from latin-afro-funk outfit Brownout. No exaggeration, there isn't a weak moment on here as the band delivers on all thirteen tracks (an impressive album length for a funk band too). For fans of Antibalas, Truth & Soul,...   click for more

In Flagranti might be putting this one out on Kitsune, but that doesn't mean they've changed there usual sexy disco styles. Business Acumen is a chugging disco burner that takes its time to build up with driving percussion and a droning bassline...   click for more

Kitsune has a knack for finding these artists that make incredibly catchy indie-dance stuff and putting their shit out (even though you probably haven't heard of them yet). Case in point with Copenhagen's I Scream Icecream. Never heard of the guy, but...   click for more

DFA trots out the first compilation under their Death From Abroad moniker, forming like an uber-hip Voltron with Berlin's Supersound Recordings label for two discs crammed to the brim with diverse German sounds, from retro Italo to minimal, house and electro. Even...   click for more

It always seems like the advanced downtempo heads always progress into latin or psyche territories as their careers mature. I love em, but dusty loops can only get you so far. Out My Window is Koushik's new haircut. Not to say...   click for more

Big release from Brooklyn's Jacques Renault and Macros Cabral (aka Runaway). Brooklyn Club Jam takes elements from old school house, acid, and disco and melds them together into a chugging dancefloor mover that'll work at both the sophisticated club and the grimey...   click for more

Definitely feeling Brennan Green's version of Runaway's Brooklyn Club Jam. Brennan takes the huge anthemic piano riffs and chugging house beat of the original and swaps them out for crispy disco drums, organic percussion and a smoother piano melody to keep things...   click for more

The DFA's veteran shortstop gets his latest single remixed by German producer (and Groove Attack main man) Marcus Worgull. Worgull takes his time building up this haunting and hypnotic layered synth concoction, and when the vocals from LCD Soundsystem first lady Nancy...   click for more

A unique pair of new disco cut-ups from this White Girl Lust associae. "Chat Noir" rides with elastic disco bass and Bmore style claps, while "Hey Boy" brings the ladies in and gets dubby over some seriously squelching bass. -Van Hammersly

Extreme Animals' music is what you'd expect Paper Rad's insane dayglo artwork to sound like if it started emitting noise, and it's no surprise given that 1/2 of the band is also 1/3 of the design collective. Put another way: imagine the...   click for more

Even though the Lab has been through 1000s of 12"s, Domu's first Discotech EP (2004) is still memorable to me with its diverse musical styles and Kevin Lyons graphics. 4 years later, Domu revisits the Discotech and the result is equally diverse...   click for more
