It’s been a while, but it’s definitely worth the wait: Highrollers #9 is here!
New Zealand-based Brit DiCE (real name Dave Ti) has become one of Discoholics Anonymous’ most reliable re-editors since making his label debut in the summer of 2021. Here he drops the ninth volume in his ongoing personal edit series, ‘Highrollers’, serving up two more tried-and-tested treats topped off with lashings of disco-fired funk. Check first the bouncy, high-energy thrills of ‘U Neva Know’, a fine rework of a disco-funk gem (complete with heady horns and swooping orchestration) that adds just the right amount of punchy, surprisingly addictive rhythmic swing. ‘Lost In You’, meanwhile, bobs along at a slower tempo with Ti smartly adding colourful synth sounds, pots-and-pans drums and thickset bass to a sultry and soulful disco number.
