Back in stock: Disco/Reediciones

Review: The world of dark disco tech is vast and so covers plenty of niches and nuances with artists all over the world adding their voice to the conversation. Spanish label Waste Editions offers up four more to the mix here with another well-assembled VA. Dark Vektor's 'Amb La Mirada Ens Menjarem' begins with some synth sounds that evoke a horror scene over snappy drums and sleazy guitar riffs. Synth Alien's 'Replica Cosmica' gets a little more loose but still comes with evocative vocal samples and a characterful world of synth sounds, some that fart, some that gurgle, some that amuse. Imiafan's 'Stupaj (Keen K RMX)' is another prying, loopy sound brought to life with myriad effects, textures and vocal snippets and Wardum shuts down with 'Wrambling' which has grinding bass and scuttling effects topped with occult vocals.

Review: Blending elements from disco, Italo, jazz and Balearic house, this release delivers a fresh take on techno and house while paying homage to dance music's rich history. 'Enjoy You So Much' starts things off with an electrifying mix of disco and Italo-inspired tech house. A driving beat and infectious piano hook make it an undeniable floor-filler, bursting with energy. 'Volero' follows with an effortlessly fun vibeiplayful yet groove-focused, designed to keep bodies moving without overcomplicating the rhythm. Flipping to Side-2, 'Work Harder' injects a jazzy, tribal-influenced groove, complete with an impressive horn section that adds a touch of live-band warmth to the dancefloor. It's a breezy, sun-soaked track with a balearic spirit that radiates positivity. Closing things out, 'You Can, You Will' takes a deeper, techier route. While it leans into a more hypnotic groove, it never loses its sense of fun, balancing depth with an upbeat momentum. This release helps bridge the evolution of house and techno with style, bringing classic influences with contemporary production. A creative and danceable ride through the spectrum of electronic music's past and future.
