New releases last four weeks: Funky/Club House

Review: French producer The Avener's rework of 'The Fade Out Line' - originally by Australian band Phoebe Killdeer & The Short Straws - is one of those rare cross-border edits that reshapes its source without flattening its soul. Built around slow-burning deep house drums and Killdeer's smoky vocal, the track feels like it was made for long car rides at dusk. Released in 2013 and widely championed a year later, it went on to top the German charts and break into France's top three, eventually earning platinum and diamond certifications. Alle Farben's remix takes a more expansive route, adding club weight without killing the mood. Though unmistakably of its era, this remains one of the sleekest examples of deep house's radio moment - a brooding, low-slung groove that still hits harder than it ought to.

Review: Pam Todd & The Love Exchange's 'Let's Get Together' dropped in the golden disco era of the late 70s and is one of our all-time top jams. The percussive breakdown at the mid-section is magic, and it all oozes funk, as well as having a proper singalong vocal up top. Mr K maintains the care of the original while tweaking the drums for modern floors across three subtly different mixes here on the Shrylden label. We found this one in the warehouse, so don't sleep, cause it won't be around long.
