Patrick Gibin AKA TwICE has earned quite the reputation over the past number of years through his impeccable edits, most notably his stellar Black Aroma re-edits series.

Contemporary funk vocalist and songwriter Gizelle Smith’s new album ‘Ruthless Day’ opens with an addictive cut by the name of ‘Dust’. On it, the London-based performer, who was bandleader for Hamburg outfit The Mocambo before going solo, delivers an energetic and catchy vocal on top of a classic funk backdrop, giving it a memorable, uplifting quality that, once heard, is frankly impossible to shake.

Hï Ibiza has responded to clubbers’ demands and realigned its ticket price structure for the forthcoming 2018 season. The locale has created a Super Early Bird ticket price of just €20 in a challenge to the prevailing rates on the White Isle.

The realignment was announced in tandem with details of Glitterbox’s 2018 residency. Following their debut 16-date run at the brand new club in 2017, the flamboyant extravaganza returns this year for 17 dates.

Atella blend synth-heavy disco, bubbling house and dreamy techno for an totally cosmic edition of our Fresh Kicks mix series.

The Norwegian duo first caught DJ Mag's ear when they dropped a bouncy, fun-packed set for French party-starters Kitsuné at Bergen's Vil Vil Vest festival. 

A blend of massive synth-lines reminiscent of their countryman Todd Terje, interstellar atmospherics and punchy percussion, their sound nestles somewhere between slow-mo disco and pop, but never sits still for more than a moment — a perfect fit to their label home, Belgium powerhouse Eskimo.

Studio 54 has long been championed as the epicenter of hedonism and North American nightlife during the 1970s. Dancers old and young can revisit the spectacle of the New York City venue when a new documentary premieres at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival.

STUDIO 54 tracks club owners Ian Schrager and Steve Rubell along their path to the kings of New York’s nightlife throughout the 1970s.

Austin Ato's new EP 'Music Will Save The Day' is next in line for Bristol's best-loved disco/house label Futureboogie.

Austin Ato is the latest project from Scotland's Colin Bailey (Drums of Death, Coba, Frankie Dreams) and 'Music Will Save The Day' not only features his own vocals (as well as a 'Dub Mix'), but also a dreamy remix from Highlife boss Auntie Flo, and a more muscular version from label-affiliate Christophe.

Fort Romeau is returning to Gerd Janson’s Running Back imprint with a fresh disco-informed 12” entitled ‘Emulators’.

The four-track offering (five in the digital format) celebrates the “grey realism” produced by the E-MU II.
