| Mirko - Today (12" reissue) |
| Electronic funk holy grail written and superbly arranged by the likes of the south Italian-based singer and multi-instrumentalist Mario Rosini. This incredibly rare original 7" reportedly dropped in the mid-80s during the blueprint of the Italodisco era and, in some way, it fixes perfectly those feelings but with an upgrade that places it at a level to be considered as a classic of the dance scene without the time and genre limits. Fully restored from the original source the reissue comes courtesy of Erezioni, after a quite long time of interrupted transmissions. |

| Oral Experience - Never Been On E/Timbo (12" reissue) |
| A producer with multiple aliases and projects, the sound wizard behind world-recognized mastering studio Jammin Masters and brother of Khan, owner of the legendary New York record store and record label Temple Records. Cem Oral, the aforementioned, raised in Germany by a Turkish father and a Finnish mother, heavily influenced by Jamaican dub and electronic music pioneers, began his career at a tender age playing with four-track recorders and synthesizers, juggling between collaborations with many pop music stars, or as sound-designer of film soundtracks, and in underground solo or group projects, writing some of the most beautiful pages of German and European alternative music in general. At the same time since 1993, he has mastered over forty thousand tracks for countless prominent artists and labels. "Never Been On E" as Oral Experience is definitely an odd release if you know La Bella Di Notte catalog, but probably one of the most representative of his own vision. The reissue comes courtesy of Cem Oral and is fully restored by none other than himself. |

| Paris - I Can Feel It (12" reissue) |
| From "Tomorrow" and back to plus thirty years, more precisely in 1987, a teenager named Thomas, Thomas Barnett the full name released the track "I Can Feel It" mixed by Juan Atkins, one of the first mix by who became the main DJ and producer from Thomas' hometown, Detroit. Today "I Can Feel It" is very hard to find a record that finally will be available for an official reissue via Omaggio, after a skillful re-master from the original source by Andy Toth former member of Detroit Grand Pubahs. History says that the '87 was a lucky year for Thomas Barnett, who also wrote "Nude Photo" the second ever release out on Transmat, credited to Rhythim Is Rhythim, definitely one of the moments to define the genre. Well, we all agree to consider Mr. Barnett an originator of Detroit Techno. From there Thomas travels across the world as DJ and live performer and when at home he is busy managing multiple labels and still an illuminated recording artist. |

| Byo-Jo Various Artists - Space Disco (12" reissue) |
| A pretty interesting find for La Bella Di Notte who digs this super rare and weird white label offering with some retro-futurist imagery. Things kick off with "Space Disco". While the instrumental edit is a joyful, string-led number, the dub edit takes vibe on a deeper, more clubby tip. "Elephungk (Percapella)" closes side A, which is a wigged-out tech-house tune with garnishes of intergalactic effects. "Head (F.)lu(X.)" on the flip is a catchy, arpeggio-driven track with excellent sub-bass and a groovy mid-paced house tempo. The journey ends with "Guiro" a slow, electronic broken beat/synth workout with dark, alien undertones and anti-gravity keyboard sequences. Do not miss this one! Collectors item! |

| Alien Disco - In Flight Entertainment (2x12" reissue) |
| Allen Saei, better known as Aubrey, is a unique DJ and record producer. This funny nickname came from the 80s British cartoon series where the main character had this red nose like him on the first day at the new school after moving from Portsmouth to Cowplain. Aubrey's career though is not funny at all since he is considered a pioneer of the global tech-house scene. Like a true rock star, it seems he lived a kind of troubled life across Europe, with a reputation that has made him very well respected in the US also, already in the mid-90s. He's always played the best clubs and festivals at the four corners of the world, produced some crucial records for labels such as Crayon, Ferox, Intelligence, and his own Solid Groove. He's recorded under a few different monikers, including Alien Disco which is also the name of the label he self-released this 2x12" on originally. |

| Liquid Mask - Just A Moment (12" reissue) |
| An old forgotten treasure signed Sandro Oliva and its Liquid Mask ensemble, another radiant meteoroid which enlightened the Italo-disco heavens during the 1980ties. The Italo-electro-pop wizard Oliva, co-author of Ken Laszlo hits and close collaborator with the legendary Memory Records, depicts with Liquid Mask, an idyllic middle-earth between 70ties hedonism and the robotic 80ties. Gui- tar riffs blowing from San Francisco`s bay, Robert Plant-esque vocals, Oliva`s synth- wave lines, disco-funk staccatos, sharp No-wave trumpets echoing, are some of the ingredients to make this sought-after record incredibly charming and unique. |

| Started out as a reggae, lovers rock band in the late '70s, The Cool Notes consolidated their reputation in the 80s, after turning towards more soulful sounds and have signed different hits, all finished straight into the upper parts of the charts. "I Wanna Dance" and "Blown It" released for the Sour Grape label owned by Patrick Mulpeter and Danny Ryan, both former member of the band Gold, are two gems inexplicably left in the shadows, but as often happens, later appreciated as essential spins, in the selection of champion DJs. |

| Electric Machine - Disco Fashion (LP reissue, 180 gram vinyl) |
| "Disco Fashion" is certainly one of the rarest, obscure and mysterious record ever produced in Italy. At the same time one of the most experimental and psychedelic recordings mixed in a classic disco style. The author is unknown; his name doesn't tell us anything or anyone we can associate with him. The musicians were most probably tourists (amazing tourists I mean) with fantasy names. The name "Electric Machine" was used only for this project as far as we know, as well as for the label. The founder of the publishing company who licensed the reissue passed away and the family carrying on the business is not aware of any stories behind this project. What better occasion to lose yourself to the listening of this incredible find? |

The Aleem brothers Taharqa and Tunde Ra (or Albert and Arthur) are Prana People and brought a perfect treasure of disco, funk, soul to make you want to dance from the funked-up "Is Your Life A Party" to that slow, head-nodding sexy groove of "Wishful Thinking" to proper hands in the air feel good disco of "Angels Say Flee" to the perfect strings and flawless soul of "All Around My World". The combination of the tracks and strong production make for an endlessly playable album, and with the legendary brothers, who since the '60s have their place in music history, this is an instant buy if not already owned to add to The Aleems discography of your collection. |

| Ricardo "Eddy" Martinez - Expreso Ritmico (LP reissue, printed innersleeve) |
| Reissued from the Spanish version of this awesome Cuban records with a unique picture cover. Probably one of the best 70's Areito releases, for sure ahead of his times. The entire record minus two tracks of 10 total are all upbeat with afro-latin breaks, dope choral vocal arrangements, and chunky bass and conga lines, but don’t sleep, the lower bpm songs are great mellow gems. Gilles Peterson says: "If a Cuban record had come out on Sleeping Bag Records in 1982, I think it would’ve sounded a bit like this. It’s an eccentric middle ground between Latin-styled pop and disco". |

| Beckie Bell - In The Right Place (12" reissue) |
| Juno Records review: "Recorded and released two years before she gave us the iconic vocals on Indeep's "Last Night A DJ Saved My Life", Beckie Bell's 1979 debut release enjoys its first repress in 37 years. You don't even need hindsight to hear the promise she had at the start of her career. "In The Right Place" was a spacey, almost bluesy disco jam where she's not afraid to take full command while "Johnnie's Home" still sparkles with reggae fusion funk that's often attempted but seldom smashed in such a sexy way”. |

| Cecil Lyde - Stone Free (LP reissue, 180 gram vinyl) |
| A sweet SoCal groover from Cecil Lyde - recorded in LA in the early 80s, with a great mix of funky club and mellow soul modes! Cecil's got a great ear for the grittier side of California funk at the time, tunes that still use the heavy bass and keyboards of mainstream work from the period, but which manages to make the grooves come out with a lot more punch, and a heck of a lot of feeling, a bit like some of the best indie club that was still coming out of the New York underground. The ballads are great too with a spacier, more laidback feel that shows a warmer, more seductive side of Cecil's vocals, one that balances nicely with the bolder sound of the funk numbers, in a way that almost reminds us of Bootsy in the late 70s, but a lot less polished overall!. (Text, Dusty Groove) |

So WOW... Jiraffe - Out'a the box. Well, what can I say, when I first heard this record I just melted... On the first few bars and the tempo already was a fav, my ears pricked up and then woahhhhhh... That bass came in and oh god how that went through my whole body and shook me like a thunderstorm... those synths and percussion just left me floored... Probably one of the most cherished re-issues that you will buy... Don't know about Out'a the Box... If you don t already own it, you will and it will be IN the box for a lifetime.
