We are also delighted to welcome Italian living in Dublin producer extraordinaire, Lerosa! Leo will be treating us to a fully live performance of his productions, with loads of sexy analogy gear for the poindexters to drool over. Correction: we jumped the gun a little, presuming Leo would be carting his studio gear to the club for this performance. He has since set us straight on the matter, so we are afraid the aforementioned ‘sexy analog gear’ will not be available to drool over. We have been told however that Leo is crafting an exciting new live set featuring new and unreleased tracks on a chicago tip, ranging from deep to acid. If you really want to check out his rather badass studio rig, head over to his facebook page (don’t forget to hit the like button on the way out).

Barry and Andy from Lunar Disko will be setting the tone with their fine selections of electro and house (maybe even some electro-house if we’re lucky).

Great interview with TLR over on ISM here

The Amen Brother Disco Band is coming and they are going to freek you whether you like it or not so you may as well just give it up or turn it loose. If you haven’t yet experienced an Amen Brother party make sure to check out the label launch for AMDB Vol.1 this Sunday in the Shaw. Sol O’Carroll, the Amen Brother boys and Fatty Fatty dudes Nico and Gmos playing records.

Keep your peepers pointed here for the black stuff:

And more music here:

Soundcloud

It’s all over ITunes, Boomkat, Traxsource, WhatPeoplePlay,JunoDownload – lots of places we have been known to buy music from ourselves in fact. It’s making us feel a bit funny just looking at it on the shiny computer screen. We’ll be surprised if the internet doesn’t break a bit just trying to cope with the demand.

Back here in the real world, the original vinyl release did get some really nice support from some heavyweights on the, ahem, ‘scene’ – Much vaunted slo-mo house and edits fellas Sleazy Beats Recordings pegged ‘Pure Bitterness’ as ‘magical’ – see if you agree……

and Yam Who? proclaimed the release to be ‘Pure Quality’. Our friend Dom Servini of Wah Wah 45′s charted it on Juno, as did Superbreak, Check The Guns, Lunar Disko, House Of Disco, and Waterford disco heroes Get Down Edits, not to mention true school Irish dons like Billy Scurry and Padraic Disconaut giving it the thumbs up. And last but not least, some randomer on Soundcloud said ‘A perfect example of good old editing’ – which is exactly what we were going for – no cold sounding new beats, just extending the good parts to make everything work better on the dancefloor.

The original run of vinyl is almost gone so if you want to get yourself a copy and save yourself the 100 quid you’ll be paying for it on Discogs this time next year, you know what to do!

If you’d like to get a listen to the other two tracks, you can do so here – ‘Raw Human Emotion’ is femme vocal discofunk that you might know through it’s sampling on Primal Scream’s ‘Loaded’, while ‘Jazzy Granddad’ shows you where The Prodigy got that killer piano line from ’3 Kilos’….

Calling it ‘The Rejigs Vol 1′ suggests that there may be a ‘Volume 2′ in the pipeline, and we have been keeping busy indeed with getting that sorted. So busy in fact, that ‘Volume 3′ will be going for mastering at the same time as ‘Volume 2′!

We’ve brought in Dublin master-scratcher Paddy O’Halpin aka Handsome Paddy to scratch up a storm on one of the tracks, there’s a mid 80′s electrofunk tune that you all know already from it’s use on myriad rave tracks from the early 90′s, and to round the package off it’s a hard, fast, funky boogie tune from 1981 to keep things nice and black the way we like it here at Fatty Fatty Phonographics.

‘Rejigs Vol 2′ should be out at the end of April, and will be followed swiftly by the first in our ‘Downtownsounds Classics’ series. These will be two track affairs, one heavy sounding side of vinyl each, and will document the house, disco,funk and cosmic boogie delights that soundtracked the long running Dublin clubnight that now hoists it’s flag to the ‘NightFlight’ mast. Are you going to their Airbound London weekender? You should you know!

The first edition will feature a huge P&S re-edit of Dinosaur’s ‘Kiss Me Again’, the awesome collaboration between Studio 54/Gallery legend Nicky Siano, disco genius Arthur Russell, and Talking Heads’ David Byrne. Featuring edits and musical direction by Siano himself, it blurs the lines between original production and re-edit by creating an all-new percussion heavy intro before letting the song rip while simultaneously trimming the fat from the famously unwieldy and let’s face it, heroin soaked original.

On t’other side will be an amazing piece of 21st Century psychedelic soul madness from Ashley Beedle’s Black Science Orchestra. Details of the second volume in this series should be with us next week, and you shortly after…..

Check out Simon Cullen’s Ships here, they’re only deadly.

Soon to be so hot, Kool Thing have established themselves as ones to watch, getting kudos all over the shop from musos in the know.

And of course the incomparable Horse Meat Disco

Featuring three tracks of chunky funky 70′s soulfulness reworked for the modern floor, it’s picked up plaudits from the likes of Sleazy Beats Recordings, Dom Servini of Wah Wah 45′s, and Situation Edits ( Disco Deviance), as well as attention from local disco heroes like Billy Scurry, Get Down Edits, Keep Schtum, Check The Guns and Padraic Disconaut.

It’s available at some of our favourite record stores in the world, such as Manchester’s Piccadilly Records, Dutch behemoths Clone.nl, and Juno.co.uk. It’s also available in loads of other shops stretching out as far as Japan at jetsetrecords.net

You can have a quick listen to the tracks here:

To celebrate the release we had two parties last weekend – one with our disco brothers at Belfast Music Club, and a Dublin launch with Manchester’s demon deck wreckers The Unabombers.

The Una’s weaved together a set that summoned up the spirit of 2am at their legendary night Electric Chair in Manchester – plenty of modern sci-fi disco and deep, jackin’ tackle, interspersed with some vintage electro-disco and boogie manoeuvres to keep ‘em juiced.

We simply couldn’t think of a better way to mark our first release than with these boys on the decks, and you can listen to the whole thing right here….
