Hot on the heels of Alkalino’s From The Vaults EP comes a second selection of forgotten and overlooked gems from the Portuguese producer’s seemingly bulging archives. While the first volume focused entirely on his original productions – mostly in a deep house vein – this expansive, 11-track LP focuses more on his disco-leaning work. In practice, that means a range of tracks – both re-edits and remixes- that variously join the dots between disco, electrofunk, soul, funk and deep house. There are naturally plenty of previously unheard gems, from the raw synths and proto-house flex of “Get On Down” rework “U Feel It Thru” and the spiraling, oddball disco-funk of “Guitars”, to the baggy Balearic flex of “James Brown” (a tasteful and groovy edit of TomTom Club’s “Genius of Love”).
