Since launching in early 2014, the Hong Kong-based Homesick series - an offshoot of Cliche Records - has provided disco DJs with some of the strongest edits of recent times; reverential but floor-friendly reworks that get the right balance between re-mastered original parts and house-friendly additional beats. This third volume comes from Borrowed Identity, a house producer whose edits and productions have appeared on an impressive list of labels. These four reworks are predictably tidy, soulful and groovy, with familiar disco and soul staples being given loose but heavy rearrangements. Picking highlights is tough given the high quality threshold, but we're particularly taken with the vibraphone-laden party shuffle of "Run Run Run" and low-slung Afro-disco strut of "You Can't Change A Man".

Music is strongly linked to memory; sometimes just a simple note will trigger a deep feeling of nostalgia or emotion. The new Homesick series was created by music enthusiasts living half a world away from their birthplaces. Their concept is to play on memory, to re-edit and rework songs from the past into something which is timeless; tracks which feel fresh but remain true to the original.A For the second release, the Homesick team went digging through old DAT tapes and have the honour to repress the mythic "Dance 6" vinyl 12" by DJ Kom.A It was originally released in 1997 and playlisted by Daft Punk in their "BBC Radio 1's Essential Mix" the very same year. Listen how Dance 6 pumped up these tracks with their Roland 909, 303 as well as vintage samplers, adding the inimitable grit that made these tracks absolute dance floor fillers back in the 90's.

Their concept is a play on memory, to re-edit and rework songs from the past into something which is timeless; tracks which feel fresh but retain their memories. For the first release, the Homesick team have curated three pieces by Drop Out Orchestra, Late Nite Tuff Guy, Zimmer, and Amadei. DOO have carefully reworked "No Scrubs" into a warm, bass driven, disco jam suited for the dancefloor;ALNTG has provided a solid Groove Theory lesson as only he can, and the EP is rounded-off with a special (double) bonus track for all the people who love 80s-era French pop music, reworked by Zimmer and the Asia-based newcomer Amadei.
