KS French - Super Groove V1-6 (2014-2015)

Some things in life are constant: the sky being blue, gravity pulling things down and almost weekly releases from Paris based re-editor, KS French. This latest instalment sees French exploring retro funk vibe instead of the disco house he's usually known for. Of the four tunes here, the lean and muscular "Do The Wrong Side", the soft & gentle wispy disco of "Over You" and the gritty funk thumper of "Turn It Loose" get our vote!

KS French either has a ridiculously large archive of edits, or he works unfeasibly fast. Either way, the Paris-based producer has put out a staggering amount of music this year; unbelievably, Super Groove V2 is his 31st EP of 2014. Happily, his knack for creating floor-friendly edits has not deserted him. The expansive, bass-heavy Curtis Mayfield rub "Tuerie II" is particularly potent, while there's a sweaty, low-slung sensuality to the head-nodding grooves and electric vocals of "Hot Night Tool". Best of all, though, is "Touch Me", a filter-heavy disco-house rework of Space classic "Carry On, Turn Me On". It's subtly done, but sounds like a guaranteed floor-filler.

The scarily prolific KS French - France's most productive maker of house-friendly disco re-edits - returns with the third instalment of his ongoing Super Groove series. As usual, there's plenty to tickle the fancy of those looking for tried-and-tested, club-friendly interpretations of classic and little-known cuts. "B Rappin" does an impressive job of tweaking Blondie's "Rapture" - working the groove hard and abandoning most of the vocals - while the standout "See My Baby" offers an addictive interpretation of a familiar, low-slung disco-funk groover. Elsewhere, check the celebratory horns, hustling groove and thrilling vocals of "My Music". While KS French has added his usual metronomic house beats, it's deftly done.

Mysterious Parisian disco-house maestro KS French, has rustled us up three more slices of what he does best as part of his ongoing Super Groove series. "The Fuzz" kicks things off with some beguiling, guitar echoes, elastic basslines, and a sleazy, hissy thump, "Make Me" does its own thing and goes slow, opting instead for dreamy, filtered Balearica-meets soul and lastly "We On It" closes the show with some classy 70s hotel bar-style grooves.
