FEEDBACKS:
PICADILLY RECORDS / UK
After bringing us "The Soul We Lost" EP of Marvin Gaye reworks back in May 2007,
the Ocsid Music label returns with another discofied outing. The Barna Soundmachine & Social Disco Club crew obviously know what they're doing because they've come up with some real treats here. The EP opens with a looped-up edit of Gino Soccio's "Try It Out" in disco-house fashion before dropping down into the electroid workings of BSMachine & Der Beat's "Jump Up Let's Go (Megamix # 2)". On the flip things get hip hop-disco-breakin' with Julien Jabre & Bibi's "And You Don't Stop" featuring an old school rap by MC Mellow Dee - and you don't stop! Lastly we're back on the disco edit tip with an SDC refix of Glen Adams Affair's "Just A Groove".
14 Jan 08: Record of the week at piccadilly in Hip-hop / R&b / nu-soul!
this week's thoughts... As you see, I've been having a bit of a round up in the ol' hip hop section, finding more than a few things that we missed right at the end of 2007, like the Paul Nice and James Pants battle tools LPs, Speech Defect 12" and (FINALLY!!) new Wu CD (vinyl's due in a week or so too!). Which leaves us with the Wax On sampler 12" (b-boy vs soul-jazz), hip hop-disco cut on the "Barna Vs Porto EP" and Lupe Fiasco album. I was going to make the Lupe Fiasco record of the week, but then US distributor Unique went bust last week, so don't know when we can get more copies... Instead I'm picking the "Barna Vs Porto EP" because you can't beat a bit of old school! Philippa.

Two new excellent edits from the Barna Soundmachine camp! Gino Soccio's "Turn It Out", BSMachine & Der Beat's "Jump Up Let's Go", Julien Jabre & Bibi's "And You Don't Stop" and finally Glen Adams Affrair's "Just A Groove". Italo, cosmic, disco, shizzle.
FAT CITY /UK
Barna vs Porto present a great-value-for-money EP here. The A-side winner being the stripped down-edit of Geno Soccio's 'Try it out', the original was a big favourite of Sir Greg Wilson's. However, my personal favourite is the Disco-rap of Julien Jabre and Bibi featuring MC Mellow Dee on rhymes. Fonky as hell, think Sugarhill G, well it's definitely got us handclapping along in the basement.

Spanish disco-hero of the moment, Barna Soundmachine has just released the second vinyl on his OCSID label - Barna vs Porto EP, where he joins forces with An Der Beat, also from Barcelona, and the Portuguese guys from the Social Disco Club, who make a lovely work on their http://socialdiscoclub.blogspot.com/ website. They deconstruct gems such as Gino Soccio's "Try It Out", Jacko's "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" and Glen Adams Affair's "Just A Groove" on a limited 4-track 12 inch. Get cracking and buy your copy!

Another stellar offering from the folks at OCSID.

Damn SDC, your E.P. is one of the hottest of the past few years. Absolutely top quality!I totally LOVE all the tracks on your E.P. Every edit is a winner. Many big ups for Jump Up Let's Go! What a great production! Superb work and I'm definitely going to buy the vinyl (I'm a vinyl head)... More of that! KOEN
ANGEL MOLINA (Sonar Music) /ES
Como ejemplo de recreación retro, se trata de un excelente trabajo. Me ahorro citar la de bandas que me vienen a la cabeza al sentir los temas… Escojo sin duda el track B1, tal vez porque tengo demasiado cariño a esa archiconocida secuencia de bajo. No es realmente mi rollo, pero lo guardo con placer.
BENJAMIN FERREIRA JR. (Rraurl Mag) /BR
I'm really happy with OCSID 2. It shows me how much we are musically connected.
"Try It Out" is one of my favorite tracks ever. Great choice! Besides,
Jacko and his "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" got an unbelievable
de/reconstruction on "Jump Up Let's Go". Last, but not least, you did a nice thing teaming up with the SDC guys, and their tracks (especially "And you don't stop") rock as well!

It's one of the "Records of the Week" down at Piccadilly Records website. Very Satisfying to see a guy from Porto (Portugal) releasing such a great disco release. Its a joint venture between two cities and two artists. From Porto (Social Disco Club) delivers an outstanding mix of the track "Jabre & Bibi f. Mellow Dee - And You Dont Stop". If you know this original you'll reckon the amazing ambience SDC's mix has brought to the final product. He also gets his hands on "Glenn Adams Affair - Just A Groove" with his own edit of this track.
The Barna side catched my attention with "BSMachine & Der Beat - Jump Up Let's Go (Megamix #2)", an excellent track, filled with rhythm and groove. Overall, this is a great release for any disco freak. But I suggest you listen to the sound samples bellow. http://cosmiclinker.blogspot.com/
