Title:	Eskimo Volume 4
Label:	ESKIMO (BELGIUM)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	ESK 500924

Originally released in 2003. This is the fourth installment in a series that started off as a summary of the Eskimo vibe. The series of compilations (and side projects Summer Madness and Serie Noire) now have a well established reputation for following the good groove and joining the dots between dancefloor classics, recent gems and obscure oddities that leave the trainspotters dribbling and party crowd rocking. Previous installments have managed to smoothly incorporate artists as disparate as Frankie Knuckles, Laidback, Luomo and Hall & Oates and demonstrated The Glimmer Twins' ability to rock the party with their crate-digging finds and to segue the bundle together seamlessly. On this album the pop shocker is Sydney Youngbloods' "If Only I Could," which most will probably remember for its smooth vocals, rendered here in the dub format. The selectors know their music history and each with this edition Eskimo has included tracks such as the feline-friendly Martin Circus "Disco Circus" and Groove Committee's "Just Play the Music," which has turned up on many a dancefloor mix.

Originally released in 2004. A taste of the windy city via Amsterdam's Paradiso club.

Title:	One Naughty Night in Berlin
Label:	ESKIMO (BELGIUM)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	ESK 501399

This is Berlin-based Filippo Moscatello's first mix compilation. Having released various 12"s for Gigolo, Goodlife, Ferox, K7! and Four Music, co-producing albums for Chris Korda and DJ Hell and remixing the likes of Telex, Fischerspooner, Terranova, Foremost Poets and Tiga & Zyntherius, DJ Naughty has built up a solid production reputation. One Naughty Night In Berlin features exclusive tracks and re-edits, displaying Naughty in his deejaying element, turning out a wild party mix that represents the other side of Berlin nightlife. Gritty, loud vocal samples mess with serious electro overhaul. From Farley Jackmaster Funk and Jesse Saunders' house classic "Love Can't Turn Around" and Patrick Cowley's "Sea Hunt" to the blistering techno sounds of Vitalic's "My Friend Dario," M.A.N.D.Y. vs. Booka Shade's "Body Language" and the currently massive Tiga mix of Thomas Anderson's "Washing Up," DJ Naughty takes us on a disco-fuelled journey that joins the past to the present with consummate ease. Like every well-educated-thirty-something, DJ Naughty has been influenced by the '80s: Chucks, bomber jackets, BMX bikes, asteroids and listening to Grandmaster Flash and "The Message." After spinning Italo beats and studying sets from Larry Levan, Ron Hardy and Frankie Knuckles, moving to Berlin and joining Terranova, Naughty scored a no. 1 track in the UK for his remixed version of Inner City's "Big Fun." Since then, Naughty's been an infamous DJ and producer, even spinning at fashion parties for Karl Lagerfeld and the 50th anniversary of photographer Mario Testino. From vocal-laden disco to house, techno to electro and the odd rock-out oddity, Filippo Moscatello now brings the party to you and shows us just how he earned himself his DJ tag.

Title:	Lindstrøm & Prins Thomas
Label:	ESKIMO (BELGIUM)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	ESK 501427

Eskimo Recordings present their debut artist album release, produced by two of the hottest leftfield dance artists around, namely Hans-Peter Lindstrøm and fellow Norwegian, Thomas M. Hermansen (aka Prins Thomas). On Lindstrøm and Prins Thomas, they join forces in mutual admiration and inspiration of each other's productions: Lindstrøm as muso-wizard and Prins Thomas as the nu-skool remix-champ. Lindstrøm is rapidly becoming one of the biggest new names on the electronic dance circuit, with a string of highly regarded EPs under his belt, including the recent underground smash "I Feel Space." He's remixed artists for labels like Wall of Sound to Clone and Kingsize and no remix package is complete these days without one of his analogue-heavy, Italo-esque reworkings. Prins Thomas has made a name for himself as the remix king from Norway, working the likes of Kango's Stein Massiv, Martini Bros, Flunk, Diskodans, Bermuda Triangle and Jackmaster Dahle amongst a host of other tip top names from the underground as well as releasing his own music on Feedelity and Rong Music. They both have a background from different band-projects; ranging from punk to gospel via country to heavy metal to folk and psychedelia and run their own labels Feedelity, Full Pupp and Tamburin from their Scandinavian home-base. The duo unleash their highly anticipated debut longplayer on the label that has given us defining mix CDs from The Glimmers, Optimo, Recloose, Rub N Tug, Headman, Ivan Smagghe and most recently Chromeo. Featuring Italo, funk and disco-influenced productions alongside sounds of the post disco/punk era circa '78-'84, Lindstrøm and Prins Thomas provide us with lush basslines, sublime melodies and rolling rhythms that cascade like snowflakes being hit by harsh early-morning sunlight -- icy, but with a heart bursting with pure emotion. Throughout you can find the experimental energy of the continental space-disco of the '80s which the pair still adore: melodic, synth-heavy and Moroder-esque, with arpeggiated basslines set to proto-house 4/4 grooves. So stick it on and wrap yourself up in the basslines and melodies of Lindstrøm and Prins Thomas's sublime Norse code.

Title:	Animalia
Label:	ESKIMO (BELGIUM)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	ESK 501505

Animalia is the debut album from a new musical collaboration between Fetisch (Terranova), Shapemod (Terranova) and Mack Goudy Jr. (aka Paris The Black Fu from the Detroit Grand Pubahs) -- an electronic "supergroup," if you will. Trading on the trio's collective electronic influences, Animalia connects the dots between electro, punk funk, disco, indie-rock and p-funk and superbly showcases what the trio have already been doing live in clubs over the last 12 months -- kicking it on the dance floor. With a trio of singles already under their belts in the shape of "Blazer," "Heroine" and the album opening "Starwhores," The Lotterboys' unique sound is already gracing DJ sets all over the world with Mack Goudy Jr.'s unmistakable wigged-out vocals riding Fetisch and Shapemod's driving basslines like a Funkadelic space party. The Lotterboys project started when Fetisch was messing around with the Detroit Grand Pubahs' "Big Onion" a cappella over some Pink Floyd music for a mix he was working on for DJ Hell's Gigolo Records. After enjoining the idea of adding a singer, the trio got together, instantly clicked, and within a blink of an eye had made two tracks and sent them to Eskimo. Fuelled by Eskimo's instant enthusiasm, they decided to use the name "Lotterboys" (Terranova's bootleg name whose origins refer to a gang of swing kids who opposed the Nazi regime in Germany with fashion and swing music -- as well as being the first people to use two grammophones at their parties). "Paris spaced out p-funk like vocals over krautstyle party rock was the goal," confirms Fetisch. Add these musical misfits together and you get the punk p-funk rockin' outfit that is the Lotterboys. From the trumpet-fuelled rock of "Blazer" and the vocoder work out of Black Sabbath cover "Iron Man," to the slick Prince-style funk of "Cadillac and Mac" and the sheer ultra-boogieness of "Get Down Syndrome," the Lotterboys are beamed down fresh from planet Funk to run riot on the dancefloor.

Title:	Creature of the Night
Label:	ESKIMO (BELGIUM)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	ESK 501573

This is Brighton's Matt Edwards' debut mix CD. Following such DJ luminaries as The Glimmers, Headman, Ivan Smagghe, Chromeo, DJ Naughty, Optimo and Rub N Tug, Radio Slave really gets into the groove with Creature of the Night. Switching from house to techno, disco to funk and electro to jack, Radio Slave stitches together the likes of Hell, The Kills' unreleased "No Wow," X-press-2, Green Velvet, Joe Smooth, Señor Coconut and even The Osmonds "III" -- a lost disco 12" version -- into one long party, knees-up. As Matt himself explains, "I created this mix as a snapshot of the last hour of one of my sets, where you can dig deeper and pull out some real party tracks, obscure rock dance and some proper tripped-out disco. It's great when you've got cool kids in Berlin jumping up and down to Corey Hart or festival goers singing along to Dennis Parker's 'Like An Eagle'." Radio Slave is currently one of the most in-demand producers around. No matter what sounds you profess to be your music of choice, chances are, at some point over the last five years, you will have got your rocks off to Matt Edwards. As Radio Slave he fashions club-based, dancefloor slayers. Under that alias he's updated classic Chi-town and jackin' sounds beloved of house aficionados and layered them with fractured funk, belligerent, oddball beats and mechanical soul. From old school party gems to new style club destroyers and of course, a few of his own twists on the original, Matt Edwards takes us on a twisted and wigged-out journey well into the early hours.

Reinterpretations is the re-working of Lindstrøm & Prins Thomas' debut eponymous album from late 2005. Since then, they have been heralded the world over as the kings of cosmic space disco, spearheading the vanguard of new sounds emanating from their native Norway. This album collates their own alternative versions and vinyl-only B-sides and gives a more uptempo, dancefloor vibe to their highly praised debut. This release also includes two unreleased tracks that will be released on the Nummer Fire EP together with the album. If their debut was the ultimate Norwegian chill-out record, then this brings the duo's love of the groove firmly to the fore. As seen on Lindstrøm's Feedelity compilation last year and soon to be witnessed by Prins Thomas genre-splicing eclecticism on a double mix-CD for Eskimo, Reinterpretations brings together elements of funk, house, disco, psychedelia, Italo, boogie and beyond, taking them into a new Nordic dimension that further defines those lost halcyon releases of the post disco/punk era circa '78-'84. Lindstrøm & Prins Thomas provide yet more lush basslines, sublime melodies and rolling rhythms bursting with pure emotion. Throughout you can find the experimental energy of the continental space-disco of the '80s which the pair still adore: melodic, synth-heavy and Moroder-esque, with arpeggiated basslines set to proto-house 4/4 grooves.

Keep It Slow fuses found sounds, field recordings and live instruments with lap top trickery, providing us with 13 tracks of perfect horizontal dancing. From KLF-style sample skulduggery to blissed-out electronics, dubbed-up beats and uplifting melody hooks, Low Motion Disco open the door into their unique world of super-slow house and funk-induced chill-out grooves. Low Motion Disco describe their philosophy as follows: "...we have developed a way to dance while not moving. We do it standing at a bar, or sitting on a sofa, in a car, wherever. While doing this, we groove and shake like hell, it just doesn't show on the outside. This technique is the basis of all we do. We call it 'low motion disco.'" They're coming from a comfy spot -- where relaxation feeds the dancing mind. Some say, they're from Bequia, a small island off St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Some say they're from the mountains of Switzerland. From the gentle breeze of "Born On The Low Wind" to the guitar-strum driven "The Low Murderer Is Out At Night" and the singalong refrain of "East Mountain Low" to the more uptempo disco-infused "People Come In Slowly," Low Motion Disco keep the tempo set for couch potato dancing.

Eskimo delivers a fantastic follow-up to last year's highly acclaimed Prins Thomas mix, Cosmo Galactic Prism. This mix journeys from the public dancehall to the disco, from the smooch to the shake, from the orchestra to the DJ. Daniele Baldelli remains one of the first Italian DJs, who started his illustrious career back in the '60s and became one of Italo-disco's kings of the dancefloor. Cosmic Disco?! Cosmic Rock!!! celebrates a turntable odyssey from a man who lived and breathed Italian disco, American Rn'B and synth pop and pioneered the sound which has influenced countless DJs and producers who currently mine the golden age of synth pop for inspiration. A mixture of European records alongside American soul records, rhythm and blues and funk combined with Afro style against Ravel, Steve Reich, Jorge Ben, Depeche Mode and Malinke chants from New Guinea, Baldelli is the inventor of the "Dee Jay concert." Consisting of four turntables, two mixers and electronic drums or live percussion, 80 to 100 tracks were mixed in not much more than half an hour: a supermegamix was born. Featuring rare and hard-to-find tracks, Cosmic Disco?! Cosmic Rock!!! takes on a dancefloor mission to the shores of Lake Garda where from 1979-1984 "cosmic" was THE place to be and Daniele Baldelli was the disco king at its epicenter. Edited by Marco Dionigi. Featuring artists such as Fra Lippo Lippi, Richard Bone, The Romantics, Kevin Harrison, Translator, Martha And The Muffins, The Dream Syndicate, Thompson Twins, Positive Noise, David Jackson, La Bionda, Torch Song, Ray Parker Junior, Strafe Für Rebellion, Spirit, Spider, Bronx Irish Catholics, and Alicia Bridges.

The band's debut mini-album African Queen promptly went gold and they recorded a full album in John Foxx's studio with production handled by Heaven 17 mastermind, Martin Ware. Promises was a more refined funk album with soul influences and the road for an international breakthrough seemed open. Then singer Sarah Osbourne left the group and married the singer of Heaven 17, Glenn Gregory. A replacement was found in New York-based Jackie Irwin, but she never managed to truly replace the sensual and flexible Sarah and although it was produced by Madonna-discoverer Mark Kamins, the following 12" Boom Boom flopped. Techno fans may also be interested to know that Sarah Osbourne later found herself in Detroit on the cusp of techno's evolution and as well as painting a mural on the east wall of Detroit's legendary Music Institute, she also painted a cover for Rhythim Is Rhythim and ultimately sang vocals on a number of Carl Craig tracks. Now, for the first time, some 25 years later, Eskimo brings you the Best of Allez Allez. Including bonus remixes from contemporary producer-fans such as Quiet Village (aka Matt Edwards and Joel Martin), Aeroplane, Lindstrøm & Prins Thomas and Optimo (Espacio), you can check out the funky, African-inspired new wave rhythms of one of Belgium's finest dance exports.

Title:	Cosmic Balearic Beats Vol. 1
Label:	ESKIMO (BELGIUM)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	ESK 502410

The Eskimo label presents the first volume in a series dedicated to cosmic Balearic beats. This trans-global intergalactic funk odyssey starts with Stratus' disco-fied, cowbell ringin'. The duo is comprised of Mat Anthony and Martin Jenkins, respected producers and remixers who have re-worked the music of Serge Gainsbourg, Kylie, Playgroup and Calexico, amongst others. We then hook up with Phoreski aka Neil Dunn who also runs his own Fat Fuk Records while having his disco-cake and eating it as Richard Gateaux. Coyote then get in on the action as veteran DJs Timm Sure and Ampo, right before Solar Disco label-head Maelstrom presents his exclusive cosmic disco vision. Homerun sees the guitar-playing, electronic producer Laurent Grauwels hark to his '80s roots, while Bottin takes it back with his blend of '70s disco, early '80s electro, and horror-disco. Rubber Room (aka Disco Devil label runners Skinny Joey and Ferre) deliver one of the standout tracks on the compilation with the superb Italo-infected "Cockroach" and Massimiliano Pagliara continues the strong Italo influence with his collection of analogue synths and drum machines. Spektrum are one of the more well-known names popping up on this exclusive compilation and here we see DJ Cosmo get to grips with the gorgeous vocal refrain of "Fit Together." Then we have Lullabies In The Dark get their lips around an ice cold, staccato funk-filled number while Igor Skafar aka Ichisan gets his retro-futuristic-space-funk together. Things round off in fine style as the fast-rising duo of Sasha Crnobrnja and Alex Gloor aka In Flagranti present some rolling disco-funk against the stunning, slo-mo, chord-laden funk of Lovelock. Roll down the windows, turn the stereo up and let the cosmic Balearic beats flood in.

Title:	The Low Murderer Is Out At Night
Label:	ESKIMO (BELGIUM)
Format:	12"

Swiss act Low Motion Disco present The Low Murderer Is Out At Night. UK-based Mark E delivers a hypnotic remix that reflects his Detroit Beatdown influences and midtempo boogie inclination. St. Petersburg's Andrei Zakharov (aka AN-2) goes down a more disco-tinged route for his remix. His version of "The Low Murderer Is Out At Night" brings some more funk to the proceedings and provides another new shade to this varied release.

Artist:	LINDSTROM & PRINS THOMAS
Title:	II
Label:	ESKIMO (BELGIUM)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	ESK 502702

This is the highly-anticipated second full-length release by Oslo's cosmic-disco kings Lindstrøm & Prins Thomas, the follow-up to their 2006 eponymous debut, which captured the hearts and minds of the global music community. II is a worthy successor to their ground-breaking first album. It would be no small understatement to say that right now Hans-Peter Lindstrøm and fellow Norwegian, Thomas M. Hermansen (aka Prins Thomas) are two of the hottest leftfield dance artists around. While Thomas' roots come from a more dance/DJ background, multi-instrumentalist Lindstrøm provides the backbone to the pair's beautiful and melodic approach that takes their music from the dancefloor and into a looser groove that could fit happily in any home listening environment. While retaining a lot of the musical ideals and ideas of the first album, II is distinctively more organic, psychedelic, live and loose, which makes it such a welcome return of a release. Featuring elements of Italo, Krautrock and disco-influenced productions, alongside the production spark genius that defined those halcyon releases of the post disco/punk era, Lindstrøm and Prins Thomas provide us with yet more lush bass lines, sublime melodies and rolling rhythms bursting with pure emotion. Throughout, you can find the experimental energy of the continental space-disco of the '80s which the pair still adore: melodic, synth-heavy and cinematic, with arpeggiated bass lines set to organic, flowing grooves. Lindstrøm and Prins Thomas' sublime Norse code continues to astound, invigorate and inspire as every twist and nuance is embellished with a warmth and glow few seem capable of capturing. The space-disco kings are back.
