1. Sean Brosnan - Sat Jam
Outstanding piano led, dubby disco, house groover from Needwant honcho Mr Brosnan, most floor friendly, as you might expect, in its (Ray) Mangled form.

OUR LATEST BOOK
Acid house told as sitcom, packed with memories, stories, clippings, flyers, photos, quotes and tons of priceless details you'd forgotten about. Bussmann recalls the all-out nuttiness of the summer of love better than anyone. She went on to write for The Fast Show and South Park, so prepare to laugh your eyebrows off. A brilliantly messy scrapbook with a genuine piss-yourself moment on every page.

MORE LATEST BOOK
The Boy's Own crew were having so much fun that in six years they only managed to loose off 12 issues. But these 440 pages depict acid house culture – the slang, the parties, the tunes, the humour – better than anything, as captured in the words of Farley, Mayes, Weatherall, Oakenfold and many more key players. As well as every page of every fanzine there’s a great interview with all the Boys.
2. Four Tet - Sing
Sam Shepard, dance music's great white production hope is let loose on Kieren Hebden's latest single and conjures up a blissed out 14 minute epic that should cross over and find friends in much the same way that Love Me Like This did, albeit at a more floor friendly bpm.

3. Lil Tony - Solid State
Relentless Detroit style ivory bashing over a solid pacey beat box rhythm, there's some silk on display along with the rawness of this proper house cut.

4.Hard Ton - Selfish
More acid meets disco debauchery from the big boned Venetian diva. Earthquake is the stand out cut from this EP, the cover of which features a priceless re-hash of the photo from Grace Jones' Island Life LP.

5. Soundpool - But It's So
This nifty little 7" almost passed us by, released as it was back in January. Not exactly the usual DJH fare but if nouvelle New York guitar based indie disco sounds like it could be up your street, best get your shoegazing skates on.

6. Cobblestone Jazz - Chance
Deep and dreamy late night house cut from their impending Modern Deep Left Quartet LP on K7, the dub shades the more meandering main mix but only just.

1. The Drunk - Islay Edits
Dipsomaniacal cut and pastery released, rather fittingly, on the label advertised on urinals all over North America. Some very tasty stuff on display even if it might give you a headache and a big purple nose. Also features a bonus single sided 7" dram.

2. Danny Mekanik - Down To The Sea & Back Sampler
A taster of things to come from Creative Use; two tracks (and a vocal interlude) edited by Danny Mekanik for inclusion on a forthcoming collection compiled by Kelvin Andrews and Balearic Mike. The Osmonds and Nacht Und Nebel get Danny's special snip treatment herein.

3. Joie Noire - D-Rhapsody
Jerome Pacman AKA Blackjoy is the unconvincingly disguised editor at work on these two bright and breezy, funkily tropical disco cuts.

4. Marcos Cabral - On The Prowl Presents
New Edition are the unlikely source for this summery bit of beach boogie, stripping Once In A Lifetime Groove of all the lead vocals you're left with a Petrcane beach bar sunset anthem. Probably.

5. Small World Disco - Depth Of My Soul EP
Soulful deep disco of the down tempo variety, think Jisco and you'll not be far off. Three luscious cuts for early doors and/or all back to mine.

6. Eddie C - Wonderful Dubs EP
Just when you thought this week's tide of disco re-edits were about to abate, along come four more tampered treats tsunami like to wash away your troubles and your trunks.
BUY vinyl
1. Jordan Field - Love You All Night
Brilliant late period Bassline release that is pure Wild Pitch filtered goodness all the way through
2. NY's Finest - Do You Feel Me
One of the classic early 90s New York club records, inspired by Salsoul but timeless and amazing in its own right. Killer.
3. Creative Force - It's So Good
One of the all-time classic New York vocal tracks, as good as any of the highly praised disco songs from the previous era. A must-own.
4. Afrimerican Coalition - No More Weeping
Absolute total classic. One of the must-owns from the Simonelli catalogue and a departure for him into a big-room tribal house. Ace!
5. Solution - Feels So Right
What a track! Listen to this and be transported back to the early 90s. Massive at the Ministry of Sound when it first opened. Tune.
