It has been about 15 years since the arrival of Trevor Jackson's ambitious disco funk project Playgroup. Shortly after a series of terrific remixes surfaced, featuring alumni of his seminal Output imprint, in addition to some other emerging nu-disco talents of the time - presented here. These digital reissues still hold up and are are a zeitgeist of an exciting time in the early noughties: which laid the foundations for some exciting developments in underground music that followed shortly after. From Blackstrobe's exhilarating remix of "Number One" (one Ivan Smagghe and Arnaud Rebotini's finest moments), Chicken Lips' wicked disco dub re-rub of the same track was a worthy addition also. Whatever happened to the terrific Japanese producer Zongamin or Flesh Records' Midnight Mike is anyone's guess - but their lo-slung electro-pop perspectives of "Make It Happen" still sound as good today as they did back then.
