It's only a short evolutionary boogie from Disco to House music and in Volume 1 of Mighty Mouse's new compilation we get a comprehensive examination of that particular branch of dance music's family tree. Thirty tracks over two discs take in everything from old '70's tunes like 'Kiss Me Again' by Dinosaur to current offerings from Crazy P and the like.

Mighty Mouse are a couple of disco dealing London types with far reaching ears. While you will find familiar names here like Chic and Franz Ferdinand the majority of this collection is given over to a refreshing variety of talent including Fever Ray, who is better known for his work in The Knife, and many others. Beyond The Wizards Sleeve have managed to eek a fine tune out of Franz Ferdinand's otherwise messy recent single 'Ulysses' and elsewhere remixing duties have been taken up by Chateau Flight, Todd Terje, Tensnake and DJ Koze.

The first disk tends to keep the focus closer to the disco house model while the second mixes things up a bit more with a distinct Latin tang running through it. Christina Monet's 'Blame It On Disco' is a horn polished gem and paves the way for the South American flavours that follow from Coati Mundi and a Balearic vibe on 'This Sweet Love' by James Yuill.

Mighty Mouse have their moments as well, shining on the remix of Bent's 'Always,' and nearly matching that on the other Bent track 'Swollen.' Mighty Mouse's real achievement here though has been in tying all these tunes together in such an intelligent way. Each song melts into the next - bang on the beat - in a flawless example of mix and blend.

The selection is top class and the execution is razor sharp. Volume 2 is due out in February of next year - can't wait.
