Vertigo

After two years of intense Pizzico Records activity and after big remixes for James Curd (DFA), Billy Bogus (Bearfunk) and after being included on great compilations by Global Underground, Stomp, Om Recordings and Bearfunk itself, Pizzico Records homeboy Enzo Ponzio returns with a stunning new mix covering Italo and electric grooves between 80's funk and 90's sweet flavour, all built for the dance floor.

A big thanks to Pizzico Records who gave this mix to Piece Together. Pizzico Records have been behind some of the greatest artists and sounds of the last few years. From their need to go deep into the music underground, their artist roster and release catalouge speaks for itself. With great new releases such as "Vai Nonno Vai" by Erre and "Mnon Garr" the new track from the exciting new project by Loudtone featuring Dennis Young from legendary band Liquid Liquid, this is one label that has to be checked out.

Thick As Thieves

Noid recordings acquired the rights to the entire works of disco super-group, Emerson, Terraldi and Fuquido. And after lengthy discussions with the groups’ LA law firm, the original 8-track masters finally arrived in London.
Of course, this caused uproar amongst the Noid artist roster.
The chance to get their greasy paws on such classic hits as "The Freakout", "Lovely Day" and "Body Karate" was too much to take and it was "Larry Levan mixes at 20 paces" as the disco kids fought for the right to remix. Naturally being such a bunch of utter vinyl junkies, the only way to decide such a serious matter was a disco quiz (with Noid Directors Dan & Conrad Idjut playing the part of Bob Holness of course). Well suffice to say that it was a frightening ordeal for any non-disco-aficionado that turned up at the Funkstar & Firkin that cold September evening. The run-of-the-mill Tuesday pub quiz had been hi-jacked by the Idjuts and, unless you knew the average penis length of a Studio 54 doorman, you’re chances of winning were somewhere between none and fuck all. It was a close contest, but after a sudden death quick-fire round, the Deep Fuzz production team of San Francisco won through, their ability to name the type of soap used in the Paradise Garage toilets putting them head and shoulders above the rest. So the master tapes headed back stateside.

There
Deep Fuzz, headed by local waiter, dj and record dealer Ben Cooke, twisted the original disco grooves into a heady cocktail of nineties dancefloor madness. Look out for some more re-issues of classic Emerson, Teraldi and Fuquido kit as Noid continues to plunder the past for its daily dollars. Sincerely, Terry Fuckwitt & Hugh Janus Deep Fuzz are Ben Cook and Gavin Duffy who live in San Francisco. having previously recorded on the Idjuts Noid label they released their debut album "Body Karate", an album which compiled of a mix of their own music, disco cut-ups, alcohol and possibly some smoking. "Thick as Thieves" has them delivering more of the same. Enjoy the music. Click On Right Hand Arrow To Download..

Music Is The Answer

Great new mix from Dj and good friend of mine Jamie Thomson. Blending a mixture of House, Techno, Disco, Italo, and Electrofunk, it's safe to say that Jamie covers all bases in his Dj sets. He's been at it long enough, with a couple of his own club nights under his belt "Basic Level" and "Nurture", he then moved on to join forces with Traxx in 2004.

Nowadays, Jamie tends to do his own thing playing at various club nights and venue's around Glasgow, but you are most likely to catch him playing round at Melting Pot, Huntleys and Palmers Audio Club, Bloc and Max's Kansas City.

The "Music Is The Answer" mix takes you on a nice journey through Slo-Mo House, Disco Edits, Electronica and Proto House. Enjoy the music. Click On Right Hand Arrow To Download..

Some great music from San Francisco based production outfit 40 Thieves, who sound almost like authentic NY 80's disco boogie. Their track"Point To The Joint" is a midtempo stormer with wall of sound percussion, massive synth bass, headrush atmospherics and raging, gorgeous keys.

Having some great releases over the last few years,on labels such as Permanent Vacation and Rong music,they also run the amazing Redux label. Redux have put out some first class records by artists such as Soft Rocks,Nick Chacona & Anthony Mansfield and also 40 Thieves themselves. Enjoy the music.

I Need You Tonight


Released on J.C Records in 1981 Punkin Machine's "I Need You Tonight" may very well have served as the prototype for the funkier 1980s Canadian sound that was to come from the likes of Nancy Martin, Suzy Q, and Karen Silver. The track rolls along with an amazing bassline and groove,great vocals and a cheeky disco riff guitar line.

The track has seen a few edits of the years,most notably the Wrenchman edit and Californian Dj Hugh Herrera's edit on his great H-Track label. The original pressing of this track sell for quite a high price now,and even the edits have become very sought after,and can also now command a high selling value. After being included on James Murphy(DFA) and Pat Mahoney's Fabric mix a few years back,the track found a new audience and attracted some new attention. The edit included here is the Wrenchman edit,which stays along the same path as the H-Track edit,cutting out the euro-pop sounding vocals,and building it more for the dance floor. Enjoy the music.
