Pockets – Work it Out (Dave Lee Redemption Mix)
Z Records
If you’re looking for some high-grade, tried-and-tested disco and house fare then Dave Lee’s Redemption mix for the new Pockets jam ‘Work It Out’ should be a ‘must have’. It’s out now and sees a release right across the board on vinyl & digital platforms. Between 1978 and 1981, Pockets recorded three albums and toured as Earth Wind & Fire’s opening act. Even better news, now the band reunion of the Pockets is a successful come back project and the group are currently working on booking events and new material for 2021.

Red Baron – Fascinate
Red Baron UK
The only question we should be asking about Ron Basejam and Red Rack’em getting in a studio together is ‘why did it take them so long?’ The Crazy P multi-instrumentalist brings a melodic sheen and strict work ethic to Berman’s idiosyncratic, off kilter sample chops. ‘Fascinate’ is a foot stomping house banger, where urgent popped guitar licks meet a face squinting bassline, mixed over a monster arpeggiated synth bass with a dark hardcore pad that closes proceedings. You need this in your life!

Tina B – Jazzy Sensation (Moodena Remix)
Midnight Riot
The phenomenal & hugely influential New York downtown scene of the late 70s & 80’s has been widely documented. However there is a missing story that has remained untold until now, the 1981 seminal ‘Jazzy Sensation’ from Arthur Baker & Tina B for Tommy Boy Records and one the very first female raps on record. Featuring 2021 remixes from Moodena & Yam Who? both deliver some serious studio action, Tina B now sees a welcome return for Midnight Riot and without doubt it’s a future block party anthem.

Los Charlys Orchestra feat Omar – It’s So (Tropical Boogie Rework)
Imagenes Recordings
Having previously collaborated in 2017 Los Charly’s Orchestra and Omar join forces again to breathe a new lease of life into a track that has nothing less than anthem status in contemporary UK black music. Having set alight dancefloors on release in 2006, ’It’s So’ is a much-loved peak time number. It now seeks a new generation of fans led by LCO, aka forward-thinking producers Jorge Montiel and Juan Laya, who have re-built a startling new musical context where Tropicalia, Soul & Boogie melt into a flawless trip.

Mind Fair – That Thing (Eric Duncan Remix)
Rogue Cat Sounds
Originally released on a scarce AVI 12” in 1977 by the one-off synth-pop project That Thing it was a firm favourite of pioneering Italian DJ, Daniele Baldelli. Now Mind Fair have fashioned a faithful but you-betcha beefed-up reworking courtesy of Eric Duncan. Bound to find favour with the DJ Harvey brigade, this is quality psyche disco gear for the experienced, discerning, 3 dimensional traveler.

Yass & DJ Fudge – (I Know) I’m Losing You (Dr Packer Remix)

Earlier this year the Parisian based producer Yass and Barcelona’s DJ Fudge joined forces to deliver a serene slice of soul-infused house with ‘(I Know) I’m Losing You’ for Big Love. Now Aussie don of the disco edit Dr Packer steps to reshape the soulful original, adding a grooving bassline and percussive keys and his trademark beats, creating an instant classic.
