HOT BISCUIT

Ge-ology

Freee Man / Streeet Fever

Ge-ology lands on Hot Biscuit for a double header of deep disco delights. "Freee Man" is a jolly disco jaunt led by horns and jovial keys, with a walking bassline to boot. 

"Street Fever" is an incendiary disco-funk jam that's got block party vibes all over it. Clipping hats and red hot tape recording make this sizzle on on the wax and is gonna sound great on your much adored 
Klipschorn loud speakers. 

Super limited copies - cop now or cry later! 

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Ge-ology graces the very in-vogue Hot Biscuit with two killer, Lofty disco jams.

TRACK LISTING

A. FREEE MAN (LateNight Extended Mix)
B. STREEET FEVER (NightSweat Mix)

Next one up on the esteemed Hot Biscuit is the legend that is Wild Bunch's DJ Milo aka DJ Nature who drops another bumper, double vinyl set of edits.

The source material is as obscure as we've come to expect from this deep digger, with me scratching my head as to the IDs of all six joints! Ranging from groovy jazz funk, feel good mid tempo disco and a couple of odd ball cosmic nuggets chucked in as well. Spread lavishly across two discs, the six edits have plenty of headroom and maximum fidelity on offer, making these a dream for your audiophile soundsystems or Klipschorn powered dancing spaces.

MEGA limited copies - snaffle now or chunder later!


STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: DJ Nature's excursions on Hot Biscuit have become rightfully cult collected and highly coveted. This double pack is no different as the Wild Bunch legend drops into unheard-of jazz-funk bombs and cosmic disco delights.

Toddsonic33 seems like an interesting character. Relatively new on the block in terms of productions but seems like he's in with a wealth of old school Chicago and UK talent. He first appeared on a record with Steve Poindextor (on Jamal Moss' Mathematics label), his instagram shows him hanging with heads like Boo Williams and The Mighty Zaf, and he seems steeped in the traditions of embryonic house music - born right in his home town.

This record for Hot Biscuit is as much inline with Howard Thomas and Mark Grusane as it is with Ron Hardy and Marcus Mixx. It recycles some of the most familiar tropes of the genre, as well as using one of its biggest vocals (on "Deesko Music"). There's a little bit of the drums of Jackmaster Hater's "Your Mind" (feat. Robert Owens). It also revels in chaos and discord, as did the original Chi-town innovators.

A highly intriguing and delicious addition to the Hot Biscuit tin of delights... Check! 

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Out of the recent slew of Hot Biscuits, this one is probably the most tracky and Muzic Box-esque - which you won't find any argument from me! Channel the spirit of big Ron with Toddsonic's outlandish approach.

Rahaan

One Man / No Luck

Disco powerhouse and Chicago veteran Rahaan returns to Hot Biscuit for a couple more joints to dip in yer tea.

"One Man" is a rambunctious, deep disco affair. With its firing horns and orchestration, it's not a million miles away from Teddy Pendergrass' "You Can't Hide From Yourself" - except Rahaan loops and chops the shit out of it leaving us spiralling on and on over that insatiable horn / guitar / vocal hook - 'how can one man?!' - absolutely bonkers brilliant! (I have to admit I'm pretty embarrassed about not knowing the original, but I've checked a few other places and no-one else has ID'd it yet! Answers on a postcard please people!)

On the flip, "No Luck" edits "Plain Out of Luck" by Gayle Adams, another busy and bustling disco groove brimming with horns, bass and niggly guitar licks. 

One of Rahaan's strongest outings on the label yet. Do not sleep!

DJ Monchan

Silent Dub / Finally

Next up on the Hot Biscuit label comes this double headed doozy from DJ Monchan, owner of dailysession.com and Daily Session records. (Real name) Toshihiro Moriguchi has been responsible for some quite outlandish edits and production since around 2011, including contributions for the legendary GAMM label.

Side A is an edit of Noel's lesser known 1987 freestyle hit "Silent Morning", disguised as a deep house jam and populated with echoed out vox, deep Rhodes and rattling hi-hats. It's perfect for warming up the club early doors and possesses enough weight to put the system through its paces before really bursting into action. 

"Finally" on the flip is an edit of a Steve Bender's "Final Thing" - a big Electric Chair / El Diablos jam that was previously edited by the man himself - Neil Diablo. DJ Monchan offers up a pretty clean cut-n-splice, extended the good bits, cutting out the shit bits! Good lad!

Super limited copies! 



STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Monchan earns himself 10 bonus points by referencing the pretty under-the-radar join from Noel. His Steve Bender refix should keep bodies firmly on the floor too. The recent Hot Biscuit salvo providing all the fuel your local discotheque needs.

A. Silent Dub

Rahaan

Ghetto Muzik / Dark Places

Out of all the Hot Biscuits to arrive this week, this is probably the most anticipated! Chicagoan disco royalty Rahaan has already made waves across the Newcastle based label, with three sold out records proceeding this. However, we think this one might be the biggest yet!

On side A he edits Donny Hathaway's "The Ghetto" with clean lines and lots of polish; a smooth and gentle 4/4 plod powering forward this jazz-funk epic, decorated with some extra percussion. Meanwhile on side B he drops a derranged & rambunctious cut, wrought with tension and building slowly to a cacophonous climax. This one won't make sense until you hear it in the dance, with a suitably epic record to follow it - then you'll understand its true power!

As usual, one time press, buy now or cry later! Recommended.

B. Dark Places 

Jordan Fields

Let Me Dub You / Bongo Dub

Jordan Fields debuts on Hot Biscuit! "Let Me Dub You" is a frenetic, percussion-heavy disco jam with searing keyboard lines & syncopated bassline. There's a phazed hypnosis across a lot of the stems, emphasising the late night revellry which the track seems to probe at. "Bongo Dub" is an even experimental and percussive affair, akin to perhaps one of the wild experiments by Idjut Boys or even going back as far as Ron Hardy's lineage. It's skillfully done, never losing its grip on the hips as it marches through its wild and frenzied arrangement.

As usual, copies are limited so haste is encouraged if you want in on the action...


STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Jordan Fields gets in on the Hot Biscuits, dropping two tasty treats for the ascending label. Unmissable, just like every other one!
