NYC dance music legend Joey Longo has been a part of the dance music soundscape for those in the know from way back when, his first records surfacing in 1989 under a variety of monikers and on a slew of labels out of NYC. Some (Cabaret, Loop d'Loop, Foot Stompin') were his own, others (Underworld, Maxi, Minimal) not, but the they always came bearing the credit 'produced by Pal Joey'. Joey hit the heights early on, as one of his earliest records, Dance (as Earth People), went big in dance music terms. If you were raving in the early '90s chances are you will be getting flashbacks from 'Dance', as it was played across a number of scenes. A deeper 'beats' mix features on this gem of an album, his first in over 10 years, along with a perfectly selected blend of classic cuts, new versions and remixes and unreleased wonders. Mastered to perfection, but keeping his raw New York style. More

Pal Joey (aka Joseph Longo) came up in the heady days of New York street culture, amidst B-boying, boom boxes and an unusually entrepreneurial spirit of beat-making. Beginning with crude "pause tapes," he was soon making tracks with drum machines and sampled vocals, all painstakingly assembled with razors and reel-to-reel. Working at Vinylmania, where Larry Levan might be found shopping for records in his pajamas, helped Joey's entrance into the city's nascent house music scene, and he was soon working with everyone from KRS-One to Sade to the Orb, whose "Little Fluffy Clouds" he tweaked for stateside tastes. True to his city's inclusive spirit, Pal Joey consistently blurs the lines between disco, house and hip-hop, dropping scraps of old soul and recent rap alike over his skipping drum patterns and head-nodding keyboard lines. Joey's records (under his principal moniker and also aliases like Earth People and Soho) have appeared on Jive, Epic, Talkin' Loud, Wave and Coco Machete. He also has run three labels of his own - Loop D'Loop, Cabaret and Footstompin' Records.

The UK & Japan come at us again in quite an effective way. Japanese dance outfit and recent Nite Grooves mainstay, Dazzle Drums, release their latest electric effort “Eastern Winds” with a deep zappy re-rub by UK (by way of Portugal) mega producer Rui Da Silva. Responsible for some legendary productions including Underground Sounds of Lisbon and runner of Kismet and Kaos Records, he brings his light techy flair without missing a beat. The synthier, zap-happier, more cinematic Original Mix comes in for those who like a tad more drama in their instrumentals. More

The legendary Johnny Dangerous, of “Beat That Bitch” fame, returns to Nite Grooves with another spoken stomper. “Clear My Mind” is a dark infectious hook-riddled tech track whose remix by Japan’s Dazzle Drums turns it into a dancefloor frenzy. Russian Federation’s Techno Minimalist & Hip Hop producers Tripmastaz take this tune all the way down to infernal depths creating an almost nightmarish sensation. This ain’t for the faint of heart but made rather for the dungeon of your dreams More

”Consecration” featuring the lovely vocals of European siren Hanna Haîs, gets a dark, funked up!

Swedish House Mafia are in the building! Taken from Tiger Stripes most recent full length Safari album,”Consecration” featuring the lovely vocals of European siren Hanna Haîs, gets a dark, funked up, Electro lite re-rub from super-talented Swedish producer Markus Enochson. A left of center re-production for Enochson & the pumpier Dub only pushes that envelope further. Included also is a nice deep Dub & lovely ride by Tiger Stripes, and to round out this single’s set, NYC producer & DJ Ebar takes an incredible stab at a reproduction that you may not recover from. His Bossa Beatdown Remix cooks up some fab Brazilian flavor – just wait until you hear how he worked the tempo change; You’ll see what we mean. More

By now Dazzle Drums and Nite Grooves are old friends. This being their 5th release on the label, the beat goes on and carries us with it. 'Gypsyman' turns out an organic bent out of shape (we didn't say warped!), percussive, almost dubby, instrumental delight. This is one of the definite moods one would hear at say, The Shelter. It's got that kind of clubby rhythmic organic vibe. Call it what you will; We call it hot. 'Tokyo Deep' that follows is a more upbeat instrumental full of synth Moog sounds and overflowing washes. Very car chase or early 80's Stalk-You Cinema, catch the drama while you can! More

Dubbed the Prince of underground dance music scene, NY/NJ house producer Jihad Muhammad, who's previously had releases on West End Records, Easy Street and Iwanai out of Canada, bestows us with a very special 3 song instrumental EP, 2 of which can be found on this October 2007 sampler. The Piano Mix of Ascension is a gorgeous 124.5 BPM affair with plenty of plucky strings, a deep but not-heavy Balearic kick & bass drum, bouncy bassline, intermittent synth, & distinctive jazzy piano riffs that'll get the head nodding and hips swaying. Expansions is another lovely instrumental but with more of an Afro-cuban percussive production whle keeping all of the dreamy piano chords and riffs intact and alive. Feel the flow and head for the dancefloor... More

We present to you four new tracks from Tiger Stripes, two of which can be found on the upcoming full-length album, Safari. Each track sounds like it comes from four different corners of house music, but all strike in unison to create a patchwork sound that could only be Tiger Stripes. His tracks are so universally rhythmic it can work on almost ANY dancefloor. Each song embarks the listener in a Voyage, telling a tale with it's varied subliminal messages, with severe synth sounds and incredibly effective drum loops, clearly shining through on this masterpiece collection of danceable works.
