Brazilian Shakedown is back! The second release in this series brings you a collection of outstanding mixes by Rio de Janeiro's own Carrot Green. On the A Side you'll find 'Ponto Gira', which already is an underground anthem in Brazil. The traditional chanting, combined with CG's super groovy production will certainly also smash the European dance floors this summer. Good vibes galore! Straight after there's 'Movimento'. In this tune Carrot Green transforms roots music from the North-East of Brazil into an intense dance track, which mesmerizes with its passionate vocals and violin played in peculiar unison. The B Side takes off with a heavy nu-disco remix of 'Mariama'. The acidic bassline, calling vocals and wide synth-chords will make you feel like flying over the Brazilian seashore. The final destination of this journey leads you to the bass heavy 'Capoeira', where the classic Berimbau and hypnotic call-and-response vocals get dirty over a stomping groove. Badaross, who lives in the Streets of Sao Paulo created the cover-artwork for this release.

For those with a passion for the mid-80s sound of New York, the sporadic releases from Mark Seven's Parkway operation have always been essential listening. Taking influence from freestyle, the proto-house dubs of Paul Simpson, early garage, and '80s soul, the project's releases to date have been like a delicious blast from the past. "The Feeling" doffs a cap to all of these styles, with his usually authentic production (stuttering drum machine drums, reverb-laden vocals, killer tape edits etc) being joined by the kind of saucer-eyed melodies associated with early Balearic house. The alternative versions are good too, with the dub style "Can't Stop This Feeling", in particular, standing out.

More killer stuff from Gay Marvine: a lost michael cut, obscure depeche mode, his own original music for his take on see line woman, and first choice's 1974 the player turned into a house jam but still using the 70s drums.

BHE 8 continues the devastation from Gay Marvine: totally transformed donna summer, a prince disco edit that removes all the vocals, his liaisons avant apres mars master edit, and iggy bowie eno sister midnight.

"G.Q" stood for "good quality", they were not joking. As well as a few top 10 hits G.Q also had a wealth of brilliant disco bangers across their 70s output. Here we present 2 favourites of my own,k 'Lies' and 'is It Cool?' . Not only of mine buy clearly Theo Parrish's also as he featured both on 'Ugly Edits' over a decade ago, great as it saved me from playing the LP in clubs and fighting the feedback. These track have always sat next to the best rare modern soul and Deepfunk classics with ease, they are some of the best records in the Genre. To top it off we got a new perfect master from Sony and cut the 45 at Timmion cutting Lab in Finland and its sounds great. A personal favorite, im delighted to be able to put this out with the care it deserves. "See that there's a party going on...,...,"- Played By Theo Parrish- 2 Deep Disco Classics on 45 for the first time- Brand new master from Sony cut at Timmion Cutting Lab, Finland.
