jah wobble s biography is a long and winding one, and he s achieved a lot both in collaboration with others and of his own accord. emotional rescue know a talented auteur when they hear one, and in the case of wobble they ve chosen to shed light on one of his less well documented phases, when he started his own label called lago. drawing on recordings made between 1981 and 1985, the lago years is a captivating listen that touches on post punk and no wave all the way through to dreamy psychedelia and the kind of world music wobble would become so well known for later on in his career. an essential collection for any lovers of leftfield music and mysticism.

now already almost a year has gone by since “inspiration”, the collaboration between jah wobble and singer pj higgins has come out on sonar kollektiv. with “chaingang (remixes)” we get a further renewal of one of the eight tracks off the album. for instance utrecht, netherlands based multi-instrumentalist and producer pitto gets down to work to morph the song into an eight-minute spheric techno extravaganza. some sort of a teaser for his upcoming album on sonar kollektiv later this year (although it will sound completely different). also releasing an album on sonar kollektiv in 2015 is producer marlow from weimar. his voodoo version of “chaingang” draws nearer to the original and incorporates the jubilee style gospel chanting to a hypnotically impelling rhythm. at the right time at the right place this remix will cause outmost frenzy on the dancefloor.
