It’s a welcome return to the ward for Melbourne based producer, JSquared. He can often be found adding a decent lick of Disco to his music and his rework of Melba Moore‘s 1982 hit ‘Mind Up Tonight’ is no different. He’s given the slick and smooth original an extra boost of groove and sparkle, so it’s ready for the dance floor once again. Grab it while it’s hot!

Petko Turner is a producer who makes high calibre music and since we discovered his work, it’s been a mainly Disco influenced affair. For his latest piece of work though he’s headed off down a different route altogether with this superb broken beat edit of ‘Try Again’ by, Aaliyah. The dusty Big Beat vibe that accompanies Aaliyah’s stunning vocal is a joy to behold and it’s all yours for free. Go get it!

‘Mother Knows Best 4′ on Mother Recordings kicks off in a most resounding manner with the buoyant beats of Robosonic & KlangKuenstler ‘Nuts’, a thumping rendition with a sanguine disco lead hook. This one will go down well with fans of imprints the likes of Simma Black

Birdhouse ‘OMG’ grabs your attention not just because of the unforgettable vocal sample. The rising constitution of 8 bar synths, crunching beats and whiplash/cowbells is just as attention grabbing!!

Rodriguez & Gabriel Sordo construct a recondite expedition through the dusty roads of Latin America with the hypnotic chords of ‘Camino Largo’, a great crowd warmer.

Thabo Getsome asks ‘Where The Party At’ for track four of ‘Mother Knows Best 4′ incorporating eerie off the wall Jazz sounds, the kind that once graced Hip Hop in it’s golden age and are now utilised by the likes of Greco and others.

Andromo gets to wrap things up with ‘State Of Mind’, a rugged dubby track in the style of Lupe Fuentes & Black Girl // White Girl. A tidy way to round up this essential compilation. Mother definitely knows best!!!

After receiving a request for this edit of Bah Samba‘s ‘Let The Drums Speak’, which featured in his set at a party in Barcelona last year, Dj XS decided it was time to share it with everyone. His touch on the original has it shining bright and with the positive and poignant message provided by Bah Samba, it’s a slice of feel good House music you need to hand when the chips are down. What a stunner!

To make your day even better, below you’ll find a new 2 hour Funk and Soul mix from Dj XS and he’s got that feel good factor flowing freely once more with the a fine selection of music. If this mix isn’t perfect for a weekend afternoon, I don’t know what is. Tuck in and love it like I do.

Fort Knox Five (FK5) was formed back in 2003 by four like-minded musicians, Steve Raskin, Jon Horvath (RIP), Rob Myers and Sid Barcelona. Each musician in the group have also worked with other acts in the music industry including Thunderball, Thievery Corporation and See-I to name a few. Fort Knox Five also formed their own label Fort Knox Recordings to release their unique style of funky music. Fort Knox Recordings still runs today with various artists contributing their music over the years and giving the label its mass following. With the recent sad passing of Jon Horvath they still continue to play shows as a LIVE instrumental act as well as rocking the turntables to the masses.

Scour Records is run by the talented DJ Spinforth who back a few years ago gained recognition for scouring out the best FREE tracks and posting them up on the old Ghetto Funk site. The success of this is more relevant now because it led Spinforth to creating his own label Scour Records and signing a bunch of like-minded artists in the Mid Temp scene of Funk and Bass.

This mix from FlowerTek features tracks from Scour Records some available as a FREE download and some you can purchase through the Scour Records Juno page.
