Victor Simonelli opens up the vaults once more to unlock Groove Committee's 'Dirty Games', the follow up to the seminal 'I Want You To Know'.
Taking the blueprint from his timeless house classic, Simonelli reworked the bassline for this '92 follow up whilst holding onto that sublimely simple yet powerful chord progression, one that never fails to put a smile on the face. Add in a helping of swung hats and crunched up shakers and this is a classic by anyone's standards. The vocals - a charged up, evocative warning to a mistreating lover - fit the NYC garage house rhythm so perfectly and deliver a raw emotion to the track.
Next up the 'Dubb Mix' kicks off with the accapella vocals, bare in all their glory, before that piano progression lays the path for the full force of 'Dirty Games' to make its impact. There's more space between the vocals in this dub mix, allowing Simonelli's production prowess room to breathe. A surefire spine tingler from start to finish.
On the B side, Simonelli offers up his 1993 re-edit, extending, elongating and beefing up certain elements to captivate audiences all over again. Closing out the e.p. is Groove Committee's '93 track 'I Wana Hold You' produced in collaboration with Glenn 'Sweety G' Toby - it follows that same garage house shuffling rhythm, with soul-laden organs and Paula Brion's killer vocals.
Another much welcomed reissue of some of Victor Simonelli's most sought after tracks, remastered by the man himself for a new generation of listeners.

Few producers embody the soulful heart of House Music quite like Move D. Being a
mentor of the label since day one, All That Jelly brings together two defining and desirable
cuts from David Moufang’s recent history to one record.
'To The Disco ’77' 2013 original version for the A-side and the 2017 live rework finds its
way to the B-side, both freshly remastered by the amazing and sought after Andreas
Kauffelt. 'To The Disco ’77', opens with a clean, electro-styled beat that has a restrained
power and a controlled tension that gradually blooms as the keys start to lift the mood into
something lighter. When the iconic 'to the disco' vocal sample cuts through, it’s like a wink
from the past, threading disco’s golden exuberance through the disciplined swing of
classic house. The track is a seamless blend of Funk, Disco, House and Electro with each
element raw yet playful, woven into a groove that never stops urging you forward. It’s a
masterclass in balance: sleek but deeply human, nostalgic but alive in the moment. It's like
listening to the history of dance music in one special track.
'To The Disco ’77 (Move D Live Rework)' stretches the idea out into something even more
fluid. The groove loosens, the funk rises to the surface and the extended runtime gives
space for guitar and bass lines to share center stage, riffing around each other with
organic warmth. The 'to the disco' mantra remains, grounding the track in its celebratory
intent. It’s the kind of tune that closes a night perfectly and makes you not want to leave
the dancefloor. Reissued together, these versions show Move D’s masterful ability to
bridge eras and genres, reminding listeners that the dancefloor is as much about emotion
as it is about motion.

Inner City Sound Archives is the work of a small crew of obsessive DJs, diggers, and archivists. For years, they hunted lost reels — digging through basements, flea markets, forgotten storage rooms — until they uncovered a batch of mysterious acetate tapes. No credits, no labels. Just cryptic handwriting and the hiss of time. What they found were raw, extended disco cuts — played once or twice at underground NYC loft parties in the late '70s, passed hand to hand among a tight circle of selectors, then lost to history. Now, after painstaking transfers and full analog remastering, these tracks are back. Unpolished, hypnotic, physical. Restored with love. Cut loud. Pressed right. For our debut release: six unreleased NYC disco bombs, presented in their original long versions across Sides A & B. Once championed behind closed doors by the likes of Larry Levan, Francis Grasso, Steve D’Acquisto, Walter Gibbons, and Richie Kaczor.

Once in a while Athens of the North drops something for the heads, and this is most definitely one of those. An insane deep soul rarity — and I mean so rare most people don’t even know it exists, I certainly didn’t till labelmate Brian Sears played it to me. Sugar Bear and the Sensations came out of Houston, Texas, masterminded by Clyde Gambrel (who was kind enough to clear this for re-release). They only ever released this one 45 as Sugar Bear & The Sensations, though Clyde also put out another killer 45 under just Sugar Bear.
