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.

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.

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.

"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.

started his career as a DJ in the late '80s, in the middle of the acid house movement. In the early '90s, he started playing in KU San Sebastián, the mother company of the infamous KU Ibiza, and was very influenced by the Balearic sound. In 2000, Dr. Beat released a promo vinyl with the Balearic hymn "Mediterraneo." It became a hit when

included it on his house mix compilation. Now, several years later, Eskimo Recordings re-releases "Mediterraneo," including a remix by

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.

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

ESK 502238
Allez Allez
are one of those early '80s hidden gems of the Belgian new wave dance scene who shone so brightly for a few years (1981-1985) and then were gone -- but not forgotten. Based around the writing and production nucleus of Brussels-based
Kristiaan Debusscher
and
Nicolas Fransolet
, a third dimension was added by American vocalist
Sarah Osbourne
. Early hi-tempo hits such as "African Queen," "Allez Allez" and "She's Stirring Up" became global club classics. Allez Allez were the funky follow-up to the Brussels-based collective
Marine
. The trademarks of Allez Allez were highly danceable and catchy rhythms, African influences and high quality singing, forming a powerful and funky mixture. 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. Press pictures photographed by

Hans-Peter Lindstrøm
and fellow Norwegian,
Thomas M. Hermansen

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 Eskimo label's second installment in a series dedicated to cosmic Balearic beats features 16 exclusive and unreleased tracks of beautiful, sun-kissed cosmic house, disco, funk and more, mixed for the ultimate slo-mo house party and including a bonus mp3-disc featuring the unmixed full-length versions of all the tracks. A technicolor fusion of house, techno, acid and psychedelia,
Hot Toddy
's "I Need Love," featuring
Ron Basejam
on vocals, is the perfect way to set sail on the good ship Balearica. Next up is Canary Island-born
Rayko
, whose "Slowtrack" evokes the more experimental edge of '70s NYC disco, before a rolling, euphoric piano break engulfs
Slight Delay
's floor-filling anthem "Can You Feel It?!."
Fernando Gomez
forges bubbling synths into a great percussive workout, maintaining the momentum as
Marbeya Sound
brings Soviet-era synths into a modern day cosmic swirl.
Premier Rang
takes it down a notch with distorted thunder cloud claps and French spoken word, while
The Beat Broker
's "Ice Castle" injects Italo disco elements into the cosmic journey. In-demand remixers and Glasgow DJ legends
Johnnie Wilkes
and
James Savage
(aka
Optimo
) drop in under the name
Naum Gabo
, while
Humberto Matias
'
Social Disco Club
pumps things up with bouncing beats and jittering hand claps. Newcomer
Phelps
makes his Eskimo debut here, drawing from disco, '80s pop, new wave and house, until
The Outrunners
deliver a perfect homage to the
John Carpenter
-esque synth soundtracks of the late '70s. Denmark's
Visti & Meyland
team up for the original mix of the superb, rousing house belter that is "Yes Maam (All Nite Long)." Among the well-known names on this compilation, two key characters from the booming Belgian dance scene,
Mugwump
's
Geoffroy & Kolombo
, show once more why they're going straight to the top, while disco veteran
Georgina Fernandez
aka
Baby G
teams up with studio wizard
Robin Craford
for the perfect disco-tinged action of
Dance Disorder
's "My Time." Finally,
Lyhome
's "Other Side Of Me" sees Dutch producer
Martijn Poulus
bring it down the tempo scale via a collaboration with Italian/Argentinian hip-hop and soul producer,
Shablo
. As you have come to expect, the production quality is impeccable, matched only by each track's beauty and invention as Eskimo traverses the worlds of disco, house, funk, Italo, electro and beyond through its global army of collaborators and artists.

Aeroplane
's eagerly anticipated debut album
We Can't Fly
arrives with sky-high hopes. The Belgian duo with Italian roots established themselves as party-starting DJs and remixers-du-jour with their spacious cosmic-disco re-rubs of
Grace Jones
,
Friendly Fires
, and
Sebastien Tellier
, and as leaders of the nu-disco and Balearica scene. Having amicably parted company with his band mate
Stephen Fasano
,
Vito De Luca
continues Aeroplane as a one-man operation. Recorded in Toulouse, Paris, London and Los Angeles, and co-produced by
Bertrand Burgalat
,
We Can't Fly
is a grown up, dazzlingly accomplished album that showcases not just a passion for stately, soulful disco and early '80s electronica, but a lush and bittersweet set of influences that stretches from
Abba
and film soundtracks to
Floyd
, the
Stones
and Italian crooners. This melting pot provides the backdrop to Aeroplane's 21st century take on Balearic house. "We Can't Fly" is a languid, show-stopping anthem-to-be. The widescreen, string-splashed "Mountains Of Moscow" is the soundtrack to the best '80s blockbuster you've never seen, while "London Bridge" and "Point Of No Return" are mini-epics of spiraling, Floydian guitar riffs and plaintive
Tangerine Dream
synths. Another mighty inspiration was
Giorgio Moroder
, whose gleaming electronic scores fed into the vintage disco stylings of "My Enemy" and the propulsive, piano-led "Superstar." The latter features vocoder vocals from Vito himself, but Moroder was so impressed, that he has already laid down the vocals for an alternative version of the track. Also featured is the raucous, razor-blade rock of "I Don't Feel," with the formidable vocals of
Merry Clayton
, who backed
Jagger
on Vito's favorite Stones song, "Gimme Shelter." Other guest singers include:
Nicolas Ker
, the frontman of French/Italo-disco outfit
Poni Hoax
, who adds a sullen élan to "Fish In The Sky," an electro torch song worthy of
Human League
, while dream-pop outfit
Au Revoir Simone
breathe delicate harmonies over the woozy ballad "We Fall Over," and London's
Jonathan Jeremiah
transforms "Good Riddance" into a low-slung slice of honky-tonk soul. Perhaps the most ear-catching turn comes from the precocious L.A. teen-vixen
Sky Ferreira
on "Without Lies," a cover of a song by the Belgian screen star
Marie Gillain
.
We Can't Fly
promises to take Aeroplane's passengers on a first class round-trip of electronic psychedelia. Includes a CD version of the album.

In recent years,
Aeroplane
has been carefully selecting the best of all the new music released every month to turn it into the "Aeroplane Chart Mixes," gaining a lot of attention and a non-stop growing fan base on the internet, and followers on the official Aeroplane Soundcloud, with each mix getting between 30,000 and 45,000 plays and quickly becoming blogosphere favorites. The next step was when Aeroplane decided to make it "official." His mixes became a radio show called "In-Flight Entertainment," played every last Friday of the month on Belgian national radio station PureFM, with the mix becoming available on the Aeroplane Soundcloud right after it was aired on the radio. The constantly-rising interest made the "In-Flight Entertainment" mix series really influential in the dance music scene, pushing artists to send music to Aeroplane upfront to include in his mixes, turning them into something more and more exclusive. Also Aeroplane's constant search for new music and his obsessive need to listen to everything he receives gave him the opportunity to discover a lot of newcomers he would feature on the mixes, which would help to put them on the music map. With this history, an Aeroplane mix CD couldn't be anything simple, it needed to be special. He wanted it to be ahead of its time and he wanted it to be 100% exclusive. Teaming up with all his friends and producers from all around the world, he put together a collection of songs that have never been heard before, some of them being made especially for the compilation with, as usual, a lot of space for young producers. Even Aeroplane rolls up his sleeves to contribute with an exclusive Aeroplane track. But what does it sound like? Lately, the so-called nu-disco/Balearic producers have been asked to "collaborate" with the pop music world by remixing mainstream pop artists, turning their songs into warm and sexy disco anthems, and giving those artists visibility in the blog world and the club scene. It often happened that those remixes became more popular than the originals. Aeroplane's remixes of
Grace Jones
' "William's Blood,"
Robbie Williams
' "Bodies" or
Friendly Fires
' "Paris" are good examples of that. But Aeroplane wants to believe that the time has come for all those artists he supported to get to the next level, and to put their time and talent into becoming the new pop acts. With radio starting to playlist more and more of them, even playlisting the remixes rather than the originals, he thought the time was right. So that's what it sounds like. Pop music filled with catchy hooks and disco grooves, updated to 2011 -- or should we say 2012? Artists include:
Poolside
