Review: REPRESS ALERT!: Drop Music marks a marvellous quarter of a century of releases with this new slab of vinyl featuring some gems from disco funksters Crazy P and the house mainstays Inland Knights. Crazy P go first with 'Disc Odyssey' which is perfectly indicative of their much beloved sound with its low slung kicks and funky bassline. Inland Knights then offer a trio of in demand & unreleased tracks. 'Overnight' is a bumming deep house joint, 'Walk On' has an icy late night vibe and balmy pads and 'Do It Again is a more playful closer, with some killer b-line action. All four, needless to say, are timeless gems, and the fact the last two are appearing on vinyl first the first time makes it an even more desirable cop.

Review: Just as the year draws to an end, GTO launches itself into the world with a first release that is destined to get plenty of parties pumping. DJ Tommy Starck is the man in charge and he opens with big, filtered disco-house loops that pack an emotional punch. 'Disco' then hist harder than Deontay Wilder with its raw, slamming kicks and loopy synths echoing the early work of DJ Sneak. The flip side is given over then 'Yesterday,' a deeper cut with warm pads and muffled vocal cries that eventually get taken over by some wild sine waves.

Review: Edit labels never seem handier than when the sun is out and the dancing moves outdoors. There is something about a beefed-up classic or tweaked disco cut that just works when we are all at our most fun-loving. Te Pina label is here to help on that front with a tenth EP of exquisite edits. 'Morrison Hotel' is low-slung house with samples of The Doors and skewed leads all powered by a fulsome bassline. 'Crab' is a funky disco number with chunky drums and claps.

Review: Secondo unpacks the scissors and whittles everything the song gives.

Review: Amsterdam-based duo Weval, known for their intricate and richly layered electronic music, return with a new EP titled Night Versions via Ninja Tune's Technicolour imprint. This EP presents club-ready reimaginings of key tracks from their critically acclaimed album Remember, which was celebrated for its high-energy blend of nostalgia, euphoria, and genre-blurring creativity. On Night Versions, Wevalicomprising Harm Coolen and Merijn Scholte Albersifocuses on enhancing the dancefloor appeal of their original tracks. The EP includes dynamic versions of tracks like 'Remember' and 'I Saw You,' now infused with the pulsating energy reminiscent of artists like Max Cooper and Apparat. The result is a five-track journey that amplifies the frenetic, danceable elements of the original album while maintaining Weval's signature complexity and emotional depth. A compelling evolution of their sound, designed to ignite the dancefloor.
