Jungle – Keep Moving (Dave Lee Remix)
Caiola Records
He’s only gone & left his best til last! Yes Dave Lee brings his clean production to Jungle’s ‘Keep Moving’. It’s a masterclass disco tinged rework that will erupt throughout the clubs over this winter. With a stripped back remix ‘Keep Moving’ is archetypal of Dave’s timeless releases over the last 30 years. A restrained drumbeat brings the legitimate live feel, with echoing lasers that cascade between sections while he teases in strings stabs and backing vocals. Edging in layer by layer with this perfect party-tool, synth licks enter before breaking away for a euphoric chorus of exposed vocals and emphasis on the luscious strings swells, that will guarantee late night madness!

Various Artists – Italo Funk Volume 2
Soul Clap
Following the success of the first volume in 2019, Italo Funk curators, Eli Soul Clap and Lele Sacchi have since been hard at work compiling the much anticipated second volume dedicated to Italian cultural icon, Claudio Coccoluto who we sadly lost earlier this year.
It’s another trip through Italy, from ‘Venaria’, a little village just outside of Turin where Stump Valley offer a blissful taste of the regions deep house flavours. To Puglia, where Rollover DJs present ‘Buonasera’, a slow building, bucolic jam. Rocco Universal’s ‘Somewhere Else’ tips it’s hat to Detroit, but of course with a healthy touch of 80s Italo. DJ Rocca sweeps us away to Reggio Emilia and serenades us with his jazz flute on ‘Don’t Be Worried’ only to join us again under his collaborative project with Capofortuna as Roccacapofortuna on the peak time bomb ‘Potage’. Capofortuna; the duo of DJ Rame & Funk Rimini, delivers festival bound heat, while Funk Rimini takes us on a vivacious visit that balmy coast of the Adriatic Sea. Lele Sacchi & Brioski pick us up and drops us in Milano for a taste of both the old, and nu-school combined.

Junktion – Just A Disco Thing
Outplay
Conceived in 2012, Dutch imprint Outplay created by Fouk duo Daniel Leseman & Junktion (Hans Peeman) as a platform for their own productions, focusing on the deeper side of house and disco. Hailing from the South of the Netherlands, Junktion is back with a late bang in 2021 with the first full Junktion release on Outplay since 2016 with four fresh cuts in the shape of the ‘Tributes EP’. It’s full amped up disco house treatments on ‘Just A Disco Thing’ and ‘Real To Me’ as stomping kicks and heavy bass merge together with lashings of disco goodness. On the flipside it’s a more introspective aspect, where Junktion comes to light in the form of the understated funkiness of ‘I Got Somebody’, followed up by the delicious and dreamy melodies of title cut ‘Tribute’.
