BACK IN STOCK Nicholas returns on X-masters for a collaboration with Detroits Nikki-O.

Fleeting Wax is a new label by Basel DJs Mehmet Aslan and Miajica from Alma Negra, whose fame has spread far and beyond Switzerland. The EP contains three striking edits from the reaches of what could be considered world disco in the widest sense of the word. It's fair to say that this is the embodiment of a now-familiar Basel sound - all sultry playfulness, Turkish delights and sun-drenched pop-not-pop. The first is Tai's "Schlager Edit", built on a combo of hypnotic Marimba-dreaming and that irresistibly sugary voice. Istanbul digger DJ Fattish immerses himself into the singer-songwriter wealth of his country. And label co-owner Miajica weds Italian cantautore passion to the dancefloor. With it's first release, Fleeting Wax clearly lives up to it's romantic promise: Unearthing forgotten relics and infusing sleeping beautys with new life.

After The Very Polish and The Very Soviet Cut-Outs, Zambon continues his endless trip around Eastern Europe with another excursion.Now it's time to follow him and dive deep into dance music of former Yugoslavia.The very first volume of the brand new The Very Yugo Cut-Outs exposes a little known scene of editors based around the cult club 20/44 in Belgrade, Serbia. A duo of DJs and producers called Kompleks is responsible for three edits here, while the label boss Zambon supplies the last one.Tracks range from poppy new wave of Jakarta group from Serbia, through psychedelic rock of Seid Memic aka Vajta from Bosnia, Yugo boogie of Kim Band from Serbia/Macedonia and sleazy synthpop of Videosex group from Slovenia.The unique vibe and amazing skills of Yugoslavian musicians from the rich and unfortunately still little known scene are guaranteed to move both you and your local dancefloor.
