Razor N Tape

The secretive MFR collective delivers the party goods on this one, with a magical release that has both the perfect opening and closing tracks of the night!Feeling about as familiar as a well-worn pair of bell-bottoms, Gettin' Down builds on instrumental loops towards an uplifting vocal climax, while Your Love Is Saved takes us straight to disco church!Throw in a beats DJ tool for good measure, and we're going straight from the sewer to the skies!

Philly's home-grown edit kings Superprince drop some serious brotherly love in their first outing for RNT. From the uptempo bounce of 'Strong Feeling,' to the soulful boogie of 'Down on Bitter End' and 'Start Again,' to the chilled re-cut funk of 'Up Up To The Sky,' these 4 heaters are guaranteed to find a permanent home in any record bag!

Yellow vinyl 10" It's Moscow disco! Russian selector extraordinaire Arsenii makes his RNT debut with a 3 tracker of obscure and infinitely groovy edits. From the Shaft-in-outer-space drama of "Son of the Son," to the proto-balearic lilt of "Jungle Melody" to the big band funk of "Fool Like A Child," Arsenii demonstrates his skill at digging through and slicing up his ample record collection. A pretty yellow 10" with a classic jazz library label design rounds this one out nicely!

Needing very little introduction here is soulful Scotsman Al Kent, who delivers the dirty goods for his first outing on RNT. Good Inside and 4006 are a pair of dusty reworks, as gritty and groovy as you like. But the prize of this EP might just be Come Back Home, the crown jewel of his decade-earlier Secret Sounds collection, finally getting a proper vinyl for the first time ever!

Rose Records co-founder Martin Hayes makes his solo debut on Razor-N-Tape with 4 tracks of down-n-dirty disco and soul! Having previously collaborated on a more production-centered EP on RNT Reserve, Hayes shows us his penchant for digging and slicing up the dustiest of grooves.

Suave Parisian scalpel-botherer Dimitri From Paris continues to churn out top notch re-edits, slightly altering his famous production persona from label to label. Here, he delivers a second 12" for Razor 'N' Tape under the Dimitri From Brooklyn alias. Like its' predecessor, it features a couple of stone cold bangers. "Right My File" offers a thunderous, housed-up take on a lesser-known cover version of Dan Hartman's grandiose disco smasher "Relight My Fire" - all vocal breakdowns, big builds and big-lunged sing-along moments. As for "I Want Your Back", it re-casts Dimitri as The Reflex, laying down a version of The Jacksons' "I Want You Back" that sounds like it was done from the multi-track parts. It is, of course, dancefloor dynamite.
