Disco/Nu-Disco
Purple (3:37)
Purple (dub mix) (4:12)
Review: Every once in a while, a release is slung our way that charms us so deeply that we're not sure what angle approach it from. Deliberately retro, but with one foot in the cosmic, Star Creature are a Chicago-based label whose take on space disco is extra janky and electronic. AVOP's new track 'Purple' is rattlesnaking and sultry, delving into a pitch-perfect rumination of a disco sound that 70's producers could only dream of achieving. Coming to purple 7" vinyl, the track makes "Russian violet cyber grapes rain in Chicago", as asserted by the artist.

Review: The summer is almost here which means this is exactly the sort of record we want to be reaching for. It's a lush and tropical work of idealised disco grooves, deepest house, Balearic, smooth jazz and Mediterranean cool that cries out to be played loud while you sip on cocktails and dream of being somewhere utterly blissful and classy. Dreamy textures define each cut with nice fresh rhythms, glistening chords and lush melodies all sprinkled with delightful percussive detail. Big up to A Vision Of Panorama for serving up a beautiful album that is sure to soundtrack the warmest months of the year for many.

Slide (First Touch instrumental mix) (4:19)
Review: Adam Chini is described as "Prince if he grew up in Southern California" and this EP is all the convincing you need. It is packed with plenty of spaced out dream funk vibes and lush synth lines. 'Slide' is a talk box game with rigid rhythms and vocals light up by scintillating chords and squelchy bass. A First Touch remix follows and then come the sundown vibes of the Instrumental - its warm, disco-fried and perfectly seductive for early evening dances. The final First Touch instrumental mix closes down this crucial package.

The Power (8:23)

Out Of Control (5:03)
Moblast (6:41)
Review: Following up great releases such as Fall In The Groove and Try It Out / Out Of Control, Giovanni Damico returns to Chicago imprint Star Creature with another interstellar Chicago to Italo connection on The Power EP. His modern take on dance floor disco usually blurs the lines between classic boogie funk, afro and Italo but this one is more a an early house affair. Just like on the spaced-out late night jam 'Analog Session', while the first wave sounds of The Windy City are channeled on the emotive 'Fashion Tape' on side A. Flip over and get your head down into the groove on the acid jack of 'Out Of Control, followed by one more authentic sounding proto-house groove on closing cut 'Moblast'. Tip!

Cowbell (Eeh Aah Eeh) (4:31)
Review: Italian producer Giovanni Damico has always put plenty of effort into making his sounds come alive with lush, rich melodies whatever genre he's making. Now it is Afro and disco grooves that power this EP, with more of those majestic chords. They have a retro feel here - with tinniness and old-school futurism embraced over elastic and acrobatic beats and bass. 'Watch Out' is a party starter to kick off then there are more lazy and sleazy jams like 'Nowhere' and there twisted electronics of 'Voodoo' bring plenty of invention and a variety of vivacious sounds to this EP.

Make Me Wanna

Disco/Nu-Disco
Make Me Wanna (3:22)
Wait Up (3:28)
Review: The latest dinked 7" single on Tim Zawada and Ben Van Dyke's essential Star Creature label comes from Diamond Oritz, AKA boogie and '80s soul revivalist Jeremy Diamond-Oritz. While there are many overlooked gems in the producer's back catalogue, there's little as rush inducing as "Make Me Wanna". A slick, soulful song with authentically rubbery and kaleidoscopic '80s soul/boogie production, it sounds like a long lost classic. The breezy, slap bass-wielding instrumental B-side, "Wait Up", is arguably even better. Like the A-side, it boasts some serious good synth action and a groove that you just have to dance to.

Fool 4 U (E live remix) (3:57)
Fool 4 U (3:46)
Review: The dazzling Star Creature label has an impossibly feel good future retro disco-funk gem on its hands here courtesy of E Da Boss. E has been turning out killer jams for many years and this time joins forces with Ishtar for 'Fool 4U'. It has funky-ass bass slaps down low, with plenty of jazzy and cosmic keys up top and boogie grooves that make you move. The vocal is acrobatic and brings sultry soul on the E live remix. On the flip the original is a little more upright with 80s chord vamps, noodling guitar licks and the vocal still bring the soul. Two gorgeous cuts for cosy dancefloor vibes.

Review: Chicago's Star Creature Universal Vibrations prepare to land the spacecraft this week, bringing with them a new LP by Eli Hurwitz aka E Live aka The Prince of Star Creature. Cloud Vibes features sophisticated jazz/funk/boogie beats across 13 tracks by the Oakland-based producer and Elivity Records chief. Highlights include the late night sultriness of opening cut 'You Got Me', the low-slung affair that is 'City Girl'' as well as the slo-mo vocal-led heater 'Wise Up' (feat Devaun Bantu). Near the end, there's the perfect soundtrack to a drive down the west coast with your sunroof down on 'Cadillac Breeze'.

Review: E. Live returns to Star Creature HQ with his third full-length release, 'Soft Approach,' and it's a jazz-funk-infused and boogie-powered blast-off. Following the success of 2020's Boogie For Life and Cloud Vibes from 2022, this new long player marks a triumphant evolution in his solo journey. With a nu-school disco flair and jazzier undertones, E. Live expertly balances accessibility and sophistication to make for a well-crafted trip overall. Drawing inspiration from musical luminaries like Roy Ayers and Patrice Rushen, these tunes promise to captivate fans of danceable rhythms and refined musicality alike. This release solidifies E. Live's reputation as a trailblazer in the contemporary Boogie scene and confirms he is destined for seismic waves in 2024.

Let's Not Start A Fight (Let's Get Down Tonight) (4:40)
Do Me Like That (4:37)
Review: Star Creature continues to thrill and inspire with each successive seven-inch single. The label's latest comes from debutants Family of Geniuses, a seven-piece boogie band from Chicago who back heritage influences with brilliant new songs. You'll find a perfect example on the A-side, where "Let's Not Start a Fight" - a sweet, perfectly-pitched boogie club cut that sounds to us like Escort making original electrofunk - sparkles from start to finish. Over on the flipside they doff a cap to the label's roots, offering up a brilliant cover of E Live's "Do Me Like That", the 2015 bomb that helped put Star Creature on the map.

BNYLV (Derrick Carter remix) (7:49)
BNYLV (instrumental) (5:57)
Review: The beautiful Star Creature label is back with a gloriously upbeat new 12" that features a brilliant rework by house mainstay Derrick Carter. The man known for his boompty sounds shows a different side here as he takes on Neal Francis, an artist known for his mad piano jams, killer live sets and funky soul and r&b. In Carter's hands 'BNYLV' becomes a deep and loose house cut with soul-drenched chords and nice noodling bass next to angelic vocal coos. A super sweet instrumental features on the flip for lush late night dances.

What About Luv (4:36)
Review: If tactile, colourful and synthesizer-powered boogie revivalism is your thing, you probably already own a clutch of singles on the admirable Star Creature label. It's bad news for your wallet, but you need the label's latest "45" in your life too. 'What About Us' is a label debut from former hip-hop crew member Gillies, who serves up a sparkling, emotive chunk of squelchy synth-soul rich in squeezable bass, memorable melodies, Star Creature's trademark early '80s synth squiggles (LFO trigger action aplenty) and sweet female vocals. Label regular E-Live provides the flipside revision, combining D-Train style bold synth riffs with a chugging, pitched-down Italo-disco style bassline and unfussy drums.

Horror Games (instrumental) (3:41)
Review: Teddy Powell and Zee Desmondes are The Jack Moves, a contemporary disco and hip hop outfit who here link with unknown newbies The People Of Newark and Larry Hamm for this tidy new 7" on Star Creature. 'Horror Games' has a squelchy synth bass line that carries the loose drum work and bustling methane of background vocals and found sounds. A lead singer takes charge up top as various chatting crowds play out in the background. It's a busy tune that also comes as an instrumental for those who prefer the focus to be on the well crafted drums and bass.

Heavy In Stereo (5:25)
No Skip The Beat (4:23)
Review: This one has already been doing the rounds in plenty of high profile streams as a while label and it now finally gets a proper release courtesy of Star Creature. Igor Jadranin's 'Heavy In Stero' is a perfect bit of retro future disco mixed with Italo deep house. It breezes through a starry night sky on a nimble baseline with smeared chords and more pixelated keys bringing real light. It's impossible feel good in grown up ways, while 'No Skip The Beat' is a nice textural analogue workout that you might hear on Apron, with its popping cowbells and crystallised chords.

Dub Something Every Day (feat Saucy Lady) (4:32)
Review: Razor N Tape main man JKriv makes a rare appearance outside of his beloved imprint for this great one on the ever reliable Chicago imprint Star Creature Universal Vibrations. 'Make That Change' channels the heyday of classic early '80s NYC disco, accompanied by Saucy Lady's wonderful vocal work - guaranteed to be a floor filler. Over on the flip, JKriv serves up a slick disco dub remix which largely forgoes the vocals, but retains that amazing trumpet solo to keep the party going well into the late night.

Sugar (instrumental) (4:01)
Review: Some scintillating all-star action here, as nu-boogie star and Star Creature regular Andre Esput joins forces with fellow revivalist synth-funk stalwarts Kappekoff and Reggie Got Beats AKA RGB. 'Sugar' is the kind of colourful, bass guitar-sporting, synth-powered electrofunk goodness that would once have featured on legendary label Solar System - all squiggly lead lines, rubbery bass, tight machine drums and soulful lead vocals for the ever on-point Esput. The quality - and authenticity - of the trio's early '80s sound comes through loud and clear on the flipside instrumental version, which also includes added musical motifs and dub style drops. A genuine neo-boogie banger!

Review: Summer might be over but there is some major heat coming off this new one from Star Creature. It is a long awaited official release of a tune The Daphni (aka Caribou) first dropped in his BBC Essential Mix in early 2020 ahead of the pandemic really making its mark. Since then it has been much sought after and done plenty of damage and now the remix of Donnell Pitman's 'Do You Wanna' arrives on limited 12" with its crunchy drums, classic deep house bassline and well treated vocals all swirling round to stirring effect. Steamy beatdown jam 'Summertime Girls' also features with deep disco and boogie delight 'Need My Love' in two forms.

Review: In any just world, Saucy Lady would be a star. A vibrant and charismatic performer who understands the sounds and fashions of the early-to-mid 1980s, she's capable of making synthesizer-driven music that's so authentic that you'd be forgiven for thinking you were listening to obscure jams that had been recorded sometime between 1981 and '85. Delirious, her latest album for Star Creature, is another joyous and kaleidoscopic collection of cuts rooted in boogie, '80s soul, synth-pop, NYC freestyle and jazz-funk. Highlights come and thick and fast throughout, from the dreamy, radio-friendly sweetness of 'Panorama' and the warming dancefloor shuffle of 'Inside My Love', to the liquid jazz-funk smoothness of 'Calling Jupiter (Golden Bridge Remix)'.

Under The Moonlight (4:27)
Power Of Love (4:40)
Review: Since joining Star Creature back in 2016, audio-visual twosome Shiro Schwarz has proved to be one of the label's most reliable and prolific artists. The male/female duo are old hands when it comes to crafting authentic synth-funk and P-funk-influenced '80s soul, so it's no surprise to find that their latest 7" is sublime. On the A-side you'll find "Under The Moonlight", a buzzing, Zapp-influenced number rich in slick vocals, ear-pleasing talkbox passages, D-train synth squiggles and all manner of sun-kissed guitar flourishes. B-side "Power of Love" has a more mid-'80s AM radio feel, with the duo's usual glassy-eyed vocals and colourful synthesizer motifs being joined by dreamy digital synth chords and an all-round loved-up vibe.

Boogie Ghost (4:06)
Review: When it comes to crafting colourful, revivalist synth-funk, few are quite as accomplished as Shiro Schwarz. The keytar-sporting Mexican duo has previously been responsible for a string of killer releases, most notably last year's brilliant mini album, Star Creature. They're at it again on Creature, a jaunty chunk of bubbly synth-boogie where both members take to the mic. Like many of their songs, it sounds like it should be blasting out of car stereos late at night. Flipside "Boogie Ghost" is a slightly more hard-wired affair, whose power derives from a thicket synth bassline and some killer talk box action.

Don't Know Why (4:36)
Move Your Body (4:07)
Review: Mexicana electro boogie feels: Pammela Rojas & Rafael Marfill continue their rich vein of 80s funk form with two more neon keytar slappers. "Don't Know Why" sees Rafael take the lead on the mic with hazy yearning vocals and lavish D-Train synth stabs and able backing from Pammela. "Move Your Body" is a little faster with strong references to Zap & Rodgers and Chromeo along the way. Addictive.

Some of these tunes are not even on YouTube they are that rare. They've had slight DJ friendly edits to make them bang that bit more and that they surely will.

Daydreaming (instrumental) (4:03)
Review: XL Middleton's first 45rpm on the mighty Star Creature Universal Vibrations label is a majestic collab with the amazing Saucy Lady. 'Daydreaming' is pure good time music, packed with sunshine and to-die-for boogie baselines that wiggling away beneath jazz-funk chords and funked up drums. It's an irresistible jam as the temps go up, and if for someone reason you want to hear it without the effortlessly cool vocal, you can flip this 7" over for a fine instrumental jam. With debuts as good as this, the label is sure to want more from XL - we certainly do.
