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….

Constructed with love and no small measure of JUST PLAY THE FUCKIN’ NOTE! by Pablo and Shoey, it’s entitled The Rejigs Volume 1

It will feature re-works off tracks by The Emotions, Glady Knight and The Pips and Bernard Purdie on lovely fat 12 inch black vinyl, and will also be available as a download for you modern types.

Pablo is of course a stalwart of the Fatty Fatty crew, while Shoey is the resident production whizz from External Sounds, a Drogheda based collective with the same spirit and soul.

You can listen to samples of the sweet tracks here

Following Dead Rose Music Company’s recent hypno-house floor-smasher ‘Just A Bitter Love’, the lads take the Gladys Knight belter ‘Taste Of Bitter Love’ and put the song right back at the centre, playing around with the luscious piano line and keening strings, even creating a dreamy new 2 step outro for sweet and smooth mixing out.

Last but not least we have legendary funky drummer Bernard Purdie and his 1972 cut ‘Good Livin’ Good Lovin’. It’s a heavy funk bomb with a psychedelic wah-wah led intro and an absolutely killer piano line, not to mention some wise words from Bill Cosby on the jazz, lifted from obscuro American cult comedy show ‘The Simpsons’.  Another one for the sample spotters amongst you, fans of The Prodigy will immediately cop it as the base of their mammoth ’3 Kilos’.

There will be a couple of launch parties to coincide with the release, the first in conjunction with Belfast Music Club at The Menagerie, Friday November 25th, where Jimmy B and Pablo will be going head to head with our nordy disco brothers. Nicky Siano could not say enough good things about their intimate 200 capacity sweatbox  after playing there at the end of last month and we can’t wait to make a return trip.

The following day – Saturday 26th – we’ll be hot-tailing it back to Dublin in time for a Downtownsounds/Fatty Fatty team up as Manchester’s all conquering DJ duo The Unabombers return to Dublin @ The POD.

This will serve as a nice warm up for our Downtownsounds Classics series, celebrating the anthems of the long running Dublin DJ crew that now hoists it’s flag to the Nightlfight mast.

We’ll begin in the New Year with the re-issue of Nicky Siano and Arthur Russell’s disco classic ‘Kiss Me Again’ and a 21st Century bomb we’re holding in reserve for the moment.

Both tracks will be given the Pablo and Shoey Rejig treatment for extended dancefloor goodness.

Something a little bit funkier, twisted and 21st Century here for you today, as Dom Servini of the fiercely independent London label Wah Wah 45′s mixes up some of his favourite sounds from his slots at the Electric Elephant festival in Croatia this past July. There is already a slavering eulogy to the festival a few posts below so we won’t repeat ourselves. We will tell you that Wah Wah has had a place in our hearts and our record bags ever since it’s early days re-issuing choice cuts such as this:

Dom can always be relied upon for all sorts of modern beat-trickery to keep an open minded dancefloor moving, thus we were delighted to see that we would be sharing the bill on a boat on the Adriatic. He truly rocked it out that day with a set of sizzling jazz-house, floorburning disco edits, and funky what-nots that had us leaning over the decks and having a sneaky peek every ten minutes or so. We won’t even mention his excursions into drum n bass and bad-ass soulful boogie during his Beach Bar and Main Stage slots…..There might even be a part 2 to come!!

You can find out all about the world of Wah Wah here and check out the mix below.
