Angel Funke - Disco Nights (Super Fi-Fi Recordings)

Angel Funke descends on the Super Hi-Fi universe from Barcelona, delivering a nifty slice of disco breaks for the label’s tenth release. Angel Funke is a bit of a mystery, but he has previously made contact with deep and jazzy house style releases on the likes of Novo Music and Simposio. His debut with Super Hi-Fi is “Disco Nights,” a cool dance-floor cut complete with growling bass and a fine shuffle break, perfectly bridging the space between nu-disco and funkier, jazzy offerings. Greek DMC champ DJ Kid Stretch next remixes the song in an almost full-on live style with crisp drums, funky organ, rousing percussion, and a complete horn section. Then Brazil’s Trotter takes “Disco Nights” in a more modern direction, cutting up the samples and creating a groove with a 303-style bass line that materializes after the drop. Super Hi-Fi’s own B-Team step up to deliver a dizzying FX-laden future-boogie version spiced with vocoder bits and some tough latin percussion flair to take their version over the edge. Finally, Canadian house-meister Spiltmilk drops “Disco Nights” into a deep Idjut Boys-like dubby groove anchoring dirty guitar and a groovy bassline for potent after-hours power. The remixes in this latest package from Super Hi-Fi are all unique and varied, but still manage to tell the story of “Disco Nights.” DJs rejoice!

B-Team - You Wild Returns (Super Hi-Fi) →

B-Team (featuring Frank from All Good Funk Alliance) revisits the ultra funky “You Wild" with a new version and slick remixes fromTrotter (Timewarp, Royal Soul) and Neighbour (Homebreakin Records). First up is the original “You Wild”, specially remastered with more bump for this release, featuring groovy guitar, P-Funky vocals, and deep emotive keys. For ‘You Wild Part 2’, B-Team plugs in the funky bass and gets tricky with the percussion, flipping the song to be a bit more up-front for the club. Trotter’s remix of “You Wild” takes the sound a bit more towards the nu-disco/house end but with some really interesting percussion and added keys to give it his unique spin. Neighbour’s remix goes for that classic freestyle-electro sound, and he adds a fresh future-boogie shine to the whole thing to make it perfect for the next pop-and-lock session. Finally, “Electric Nostalgia 99" is a sweet slice of break-house as only B-Team can deliver. Propped up drums, electro keys and sweet female vocals will have the whole club fist pumping when mixed into a DJ’s set."

Ohmega Watts - “Nice remix package. All stayed within a similar vein of the original, with just the right amount of changes to make each standout on their own!”
Ursula 1000 - “These are all killer!”
Gavin Hardkiss (Hawke) - “Really dope package.”

Sleazy McQueen - “Sounds great as usual!”
Angelos (Timewarp Music) - “Fresh and amazing grove on ‘You WIld’! Reminds me the old good B-Team vinyls I have and still play. Part 2 is also amazing and the remix from Trotter is hot.”
