A1 - Spirit Power (Cody Currie remix) A2 - Slo Fusion B1 - Summer Love B2 - Aruban Nights Ed Wizard & Disco Double Dee channel that summer sun into this soulful house, Balearic and disco laced four tracker on their own label, Editorial, complete with a slice of Cody Currie remix brilliance. Kicking things off, Cody Currie takes to remixing ‘Spirit Power’ with those tantalising Rhodes keys and skipping percussion laid behind a pensive female vocal. String laden, and deftly sampled Balearic beats then ease your mind via ‘Slo Fusion’. On the flip, two sun-kissed disco cuts ‘Summer Love’ and ‘Aruban Nights’, the former a hazy warmup groover and the latter a mid-tempo flex, dripping in funk.

A1 - Ed wizard & Disco Double Dee - Shades of Blue -Thatmanmonkz Remix A2 - Ed wizard & Disco Double Dee – Cantina B1 - Hotmood - Chico Shake B2 - Hotmood - El Artista Making a return to the Editorial Waxed series is none other than Mexico's Hotmood. Having been lighting up the world with his reworks for a minute now, he splits the EP with the label’s own Ed Wizard & Disco Double Dee for the 'Funk Brothers' EP. Opening the record is a newcomer to Editorial, the UK’s very own Thatmanmonkz . He kicks things off with a remix of Ed Wizard & Disco Double Dee's slo-mo classic 'Shades of Blue', pushing the tempo and taking it into a fabulously darker club workout. Next up, Ed Wizard & Disco Double Dee dial the tempo way back in customary style, with slinky hi-hats, funky claves and flute melodies. They top things off by adding their own Fender Rhodes to the mix resulting in a sunny, poolside cocktail number on 'Cantina'. Flip the plate and Hotmood's side kicks off with the disco dance floor monster 'Chico Shake'. A bouncy bass line leads with a vocal urging you to 'shake it', as a horn line drives the point home. His second track 'El Artista', leverages the same groovy flute riff as seen on 'Cantina' while this version retains the decidedly uptempo dance floor aesthetic. All in all, this EP touches on a number of flavours while providing tastemakers the tools to keep any discerning dance floor shaking!

The Editorial express train rolls into town once again, with five brand new disco house gems juiced with that raw funk feeling from some of the hottest talent on the scene right now. Taking the A side The Funk District opens with a mid-tempo funk infused bomb, filled with sensuous vocals, jamming bass riffs and spiritual organs. Matt Hughes follows with a looped up, low slung, housier number, steeped in striding bass lines and flanging guitars. On the flip rising star Cody Currie picks up the pace with the summery glistening keys and off kilter stabs on ‘Aquarian Girl’ subtly laced with a double dose of acid. Up next, The Owl focuses his contribution around a squelching bass, staccato guitars and a brotherly troupe behind the mic, capturing that raw energy expertly. Closing out the EP, Ed Wizard & Disco Double Dee sends listeners on a slower, soulful eyes closed trip through the funk stratosphere, perfect to warm up the dance or as that final record to finish it off.

Editorial venture to France for ED025 with four expertly edited, blissful gems from Parisian producer, Chevals. The A side hits with two hazy cuts of sun drenched disco house. ‘Left Behind’ swells with filtered tales of lost love radiating a bittersweet warmth. Rich bass melodies and clipped funk guitars shine through as thoughts drift away across glistening seas. ‘Eye Of Love’ is served up next, equally as impassioned with buzzing synths, basking Spanish guitars and joy-filled chords and congas give a sense of desert islands where day-to-day life is only a figment of the imagination. Flip it over and ‘The Line’ hits with a pumped up, soulful bassline that solos and sidewinds with brazen hats as its accomplice. Squelching keys and deft Rhodes touches add luscious harmonies to leave listeners lulled by its masterful flow. Last up, ‘Time’ takes a pensive, eyes closed trip - delicate vocals, summery synth lines and glimmering samples washing away the worries as they wander over the airwaves.
