DO IT TO THE MAX

The second release from The Revenge’s limited label imprint ‘Instruments Of Rapture’ brings 6th Borough Project back to cement their edit credentials. "Do It To The Max” is some heavyweight, slo-mo, sleaze funk. The flip sees the vinyl release of “Just A Memory” which was previously only available on 6th Borough Projects L.E.S.S. Productions CD promo. The finale takes The Revenge back to revisit 6th Borough Project’s Jisco Music nugget “Planets” for a stripped-back special 12” disco version.

I LOVE BLACK COCK!

Black Cock Records was the label organized by DJ Harvey and Gerry Rooney back in 1993.

Originally a pair of rave DJs, they stumbled into the white label scene that year with these quirky records which were seminal, and rare disco hits, remixed and pressed on pirate vinyl.

The lift you got in a rave when one of the tracks on the first set of Black Cock Records, The Mystic Slot E.P., was played was incredible. On "No Way Back", a Re-Edit of The Dells original, the vocal refrain of "go out and stay out all night" was akin to having your parents tell you it was alright to freak and party all night long, just like they did 20 years earlier. Brilliant.

The records only got better and better and Harvey and Rooney became legends of the scene. Now Harvey runs the amazing night, Sarcastic Disco, in LA and looks like a degenerate hippy you'd kick as you step over him to walk into the club night, which is one of the hottest out there.

The next Sarcastic Disco party is June 27th! Check here for info and secret location.

SARR BAND - DOUBLE ACTION (SDC RE-EDIT)

"When you think about a Social Disco Club, you inevitably think of people gathering together around disco music. So it was with little surprise that Humberto picked it up as his musical alterego. Being a dj since he was a teenager, Humberto fully understands the ease with which people gather around music, talking, partying, and letting themselves go. He also knows the way that a dj can convey his music to those in front of him, setting a vibe, maintaining a groove. Looking at djs like Larry Levan for inspiration, he soon realised that the message was really in the music. It was the music that made those people gather around. And the music, well, was disco. Disco, especially disco, seemed to express exactly what he wanted to say.

So when it came time to sit down and actually make music, the choice was easy. For Humberto, disco still has a lot to offer and the technological breakthroughs of music production have actually helped to bring disco into the 21st century. Taking advantage of those tools, Social Disco Club's music is now focused on bringing forgotten disco to a new audience, adding his own personal disco touch to it. Be it made in 1970 or 2009, the message is always in the music."
