Paul Older

Review: Here comes Samosa with another hot serving of disco edits to get you in a spin. Paul Older opens proceedings with "Daboom", a low slung heater with dizzying cosmic synths and robot vocals to make you funk. In the hands of MB Edits, "Heart & Soul" is a deep down and sleazy number with bass to die for. Things dip into more lo-fi and rough edged territory on the soul train classic from P.cossu and Dirtyelements & Drunkdrivers then link to great effect on "Watch Is Gone" to close out on high speed, superbly slick vocal number.

Review: Super Spicy is a new Mexican label committing some serious heaters to wax. Helmed by Monsieur Von Pratt, the label boss himself sets the tone with opening track 'Forever Funk' on this various artists 12". The vibe is clear from the outset - classic disco-flavoured house music with oodles of soul and good vibes by the bucketload. Igor Gonya & Crack D get busy with the filters on 'Two-Piece Orchestra' and The Funk District take a more delicate edit approach to stomping peak-time burner 'Watcha Gonna Do'. Paul Older's 'Love' is the perfect swooning closer to the record, romantic and triumphant in equal measure for a proper hand-waving release of energy.

Review: Tropical Disco marks hitting release number 20 with a brilliant four track various artists affair that offers up plenty of the colourful and cosmic disco sounds they have become so well known and loved for. Paul Older kick off with 'Nothing,' which is a rolling and trumpet laced jam to fill the floor. 'One For Frida' gets more deep and dubby, with more big horns but a flabbier and more silky groove to sink into. On the flip, it's all majestic leads and noodling solos for the twinkling disco sounds of the late night roller 'Shiva's Chant' while 'Street Jam' closes out in smooth, string laced and seductive fashion.
