FEELING hungry? Fancy a house-music feast? Permit me to be your humble tune-waiter, serving up some of the finest dishes I’ve heard in a long time. Your first course is from Italian DJ Pagany, working with his pal Roby Arduini, and together known as House Bros with their new single “Let the music” on Distar Records. It’s got a kind of old school feel with some lush strings and soulful vocals. We then segue into AEDJ, the straightforward combination of Avi Elman and Danny J with vocalist Lifford. Catch that great bass line. The oddly-named Australian d-t3ch bring us the deconstructed “Back to the 90s” featuring funky horns and driving bass combined to hypnotize. Elliot Wright’s “Upright” is a recent release on Endemic Digital and is a great retro-electro-funky track. You can catch the whole Endemic crew in The Loft at Ministry Of Sound on Friday 29th May 2009, with Scott Harrington, Ryan Briggs, Tom Lennox, Moonface and Tim Cook. Un-Spanish-sounding Valencian DJ Kike Bronchal cooks up “Disco star”, a tasty jazz-tinged funky house track. Savour the pure house sound of Californian Nate Wollman’s “It’s just rhythm”. Loveslap Records’ Charles Spencer and Marc-Alan Gray’s debut album “Dreaming in colour” http://www.loveslap.com/ features the juicy “Pillow talk” before we experience the most pumped-up track of the set, the filthy “My girl” with Jason Heard vs Flashlight at the controls. One of my DJ heroes, the frequently mis-named Raul Rincon never disappoints and here he is with the Tune Brothers, Jochen Pash and Inusa Dawuda. Raul also graced our cover back on DEF 28 http://tiny.cc/fmonday28 Raul‘s oeuvre needs no comparisons but this is slick and intelligent dance-music like Faithless at their very best. Meanwhile disco is definitely back, and Ralph Gum’s updated century 21 mirror ball sound is showcased on “Higher high”. We finish with a recent track from the bonkers Nu Disco scenesters Tasmanian Disco Stampede. When I first heard their “Taking over” I thought ‘That’s Phonat’, and what a surprise - they’ve recently been remixing for him. So, chow down on a big buffet of choons: I can’t choose a favourite; they’re all delicious. Which one did you enjoy?

The weather was just right; nice and sunny but not too hot. We walked and walked and were generally rather annoyingly healthy. We stayed at The Elysium just outside Paphos http://www.elysium-hotel.com/ which was beautiful. It’s expensive but we got a credit-crunching deal with a discount and free evening meals. Probably ideal for a honeymoon as we saw several weddings during our stay. Off to Portugal in a few weeks. iTUNES You can listen to the F*Monday podcasts on iTunes.
