Back catalogue: All genres

Review: Since launching three years ago, Luv Shack Records' 'Disco Biscuits' series has become a reliable and popular source of quality club cuts that frequently blur the boundaries between house and nu-disco. The series sixth missive (and first outing of 2025) begins with 'Padja Banana', an acid-fired, delay-laden psychedelic nu-disco chugger laden with attractive synth sounds and 16-bit electronics. Label newcomer Ubre Blanca steps up next with 'Renzo', an authentic tribute to mid 1980s Italo-disco, before Austrian producer Gregory joins forces with Alexander Wirth on the synth-laden deep house hustle of 'Peaks'. To round off another inspired EP, Kelton Prima opts for a warmer and more sample-rich take on the same hybrid nu-disco/deep house sound ('Strawberry Cream').

Review: Now on his fourth release, this anonymous artist continues to craft beautifully sun-drenched Balearic downtempo on his own label. With no name or face to tie to the music, the focus remains purely on the vibe-and what a vibe it is. 'Better Place' is a warm, feel-good anthem that effortlessly fuses pop charm with mellow house grooves. Its uplifting vocal and euphoric melodies radiate positivity. It reflects the spirit of a late afternoon dance on a Mediterranean coast. It's breezy yet punchy, a great blend of accessibility and sophistication. 'Couples Therapy' takes a more intricate path, combining soft island percussion, post-disco shimmer and touches of softwave. A slow tempo leaves room for a swirling acid line to evolve unexpectedly, adding a psychedelic edge to this otherwise dreamy beach gem. This is melodic, unclassifiable downtempo at its finest. These catchy tracks are hard to ignore.

Review: Croatian producer Umbo makes a raucous return to Breakbeat Paradise with this two-tracker of throwback funk edits. A-side 'No Sugar' is a no-nonsense breakbeat soul cut, filtering vintage vocal hooks through crisp drums and rubbery basslines. On the flip, 'Saoco Root' cranks the tempo and energy, fusing jazzy brass, hype vocals and Beastie Boys swagger into a fast-cutting party tool. A continuation of BBP's long-running Toxic Funk series, this latest volume slots right into the label's wheelhouse: dusty, high-energy edits with bite.
