The Funkyjaws label is back with a second in its Discolifting series and once again it's the sort of 12" that you cannot pass up. Markus "Delfonic" Lindner is the man behind this project and is no stranger to blazing hot grooves on labels like Razor-N-Tape and Disco Disco. Here he turns things up once more with the red hot 'Sister' getting things underway on a nice organic groove, 'Disco Party' then brings some funky undertones, 'You Can Get It' has a steamy edge and plenty of soul worked into the melodies and 'Roommate' shuts down with another irresistible mix of the old and the new.

First time on vinyl, limited to 300 copies.

This release features two previously unreleased 1970s disco tracks and a dub mix, edited and mixed by DJ Jimmy Michaels.

The A-side presents "Baby Do It," a track produced by the legendary East Coast figure, Bud Ross. From his modest beginnings as a car salesman to becoming a key force in Philadelphia’s music scene, Bud Ross left a lasting impact across multiple generations and genres. Unlike traditional band-driven productions, "Baby Do It" was crafted in the studio with a rotating collective of session musicians. Bud’s method was to assemble talented players, dive into a genre and theme, and create songs designed for movie placements, artist collaborations, or radio airplay. Years later, Jimmy Michaels—a DJ and Bud’s longtime friend—unearthed some of these hidden studio session gems, breathing new life into them with fresh arrangements. "Baby Do It" emerged as the standout track from a collection of unreleased disco and pop material, remixed from Bud’s original master tapes.

On the B-side, we have two versions of "Ask Me To Dance" by Dick Hieronymous, a cornerstone figure in library music production. A seasoned composer and soundtrack veteran, Dick has contributed to film scores since the 1960s. "Ask Me To Dance" features vocals by Sassy Alan, a pseudonym for Marcia Elder. An edited version of this track made its way into the 1980s TV teen film Goin’ All The Way, but the full version was never officially put out. Once again, Jimmy Michaels worked closely with Dick to sift through his vast archive, creating new mixes of his disco material. Dedicated to preserving Dick’s legacy, Jimmy made these tracks available on Bandcamp through his own label and then helped Smiling C to collaborate with Dick to release them on vinyl.

Who doesn't love a bit of sophisticated soul? We certainly do and it's always good to hear some reworks of the soul great's finest cuts for the dancefloor. And that's what we have here on a new 7" that opens with a disco version of 'Nothing Can Come Between Us' and doesn't go hard, instead building in some gentle drums and lo-fi melodies, swooning vocals and a mystical late night sense of romance. On the flip, we get a lovers rock version of 'Cherish The Day' which adds plenty of lovely guitar lines to bring that island vibe while the shuffling drums lock you in gently.

Transversales Disques proudly presents the first official LP reissue of "Deserted Palace", studio album written & performed by Jean Michel Jarre in 1972, during his work experience at G.R.M. (Groupe de Recherches Musicales).

In 1971, an order was placed with producer Francis Dreyfus to provide sound for public places such as airports and libraries. He decided to pass the project on to Jean-Michel, who had recently been signed by his record company.

These fifteen tracks are made with only two synthesizers (EMS VCS3 & Farfisa organ) in an experimental and very minimal style.

"It was a crazy album, totally homemade, with rhythms that I made in my student room, with a minimum of equipment and at the same time electronic sounds that I stole from the GRM where I went at night after stealing the keys to the studios. It is a pirate record, in every sense of the word, in which we find what I did afterwards.” JMJ

** 180g pressing

Isle of Jura teams up with French digger Switch Groove on the next compilation titled ‘Archipelago – Cosmic Fusion Gems from France (1978-1988)’.

Switch Groove explains the concept “When I seriously began to search for and collect records, I was mostly interested in sounds from african-american, afro-latin and UK contemporary scenes. Sounds from distant territories, faraway from my native Massif Central, a highland region in the middle of France. The grass is always greener, I guess however, as I was digging in fleamarkets in the early sunday morning light, as well as spending regular sessions in second hands record shops, I began to discover hidden treasures, underground gems and side-projects of an unknown French musical repertoire.

French music is often reduced to its most famous musical forms, characters and signatures : French songwriting and voices, 60s yéyé, prog rock concept albums and soundtrack explorations, 80’s indie rock scene or more recently electronic French touch. All these sounds have a common feature : a geographical link, forged on mainland French territory, following the contour of the so-called Hexagone, the border that shapes the grounds for an homogeneous cultural expression. But beyond this showcase lie more complex, hybrid and global French productions. From French Caribbean Antilles to Parisian suburbs - especially during the ‘Sono Mondiale’ era -, in French areas outside urban cultural centers, musicians have created fusion and cosmic musical expressions. As the mid-seventies meant a greater freedom to make and record music, a wider use of electronic instruments like synthesizers and drum machines helped to deliver some magical projects you could only find lost in the middle of cheap records during a sunny record digging session. I selected these tracks, in an attempt to shape an ARCHIPELAGO that highlights significative contributions of African diasporas and ultramarine territories into French musical borders. It is the map of a land I have gradually drawn, thanks to deep listening of amazing cosmic and fusion tunes. I hope you enjoy the journey.”
