Releases from artist / Veröffentlichungen von : Tenderness

limited edition of 300 hand-stamped copies.

still steamin from his turner street sound collaboration, midnight tenderness serves up a dreamy first solo offering with a fire-cracker of a four-tracker for sydneys ken oath records. the opener refresco is a bleary eyed house number with gently propulsive 707 cowbells and shaker rhythms over smooth pads & an infectiously jazzy bassline. the four to the floor mould is quickly broken as the ep progresses - terme is a midtempo electro track that retains all of the dreaminess of refresco while punching in some swish drum programming. flipping the record over, bevanda is a sweaty miasma of sub-bass, fm flutes and birdlike synth leads that could soundtrack an imaginary club located in the middle of queenslands tropical rainforests. the eps closer, hydra, pushes the tempo way down and introduces some smooth guitar licks, courtesy of riffin rory as well as some lithe flute play. the end result is a sleazy new jack swing jam that works as well for warm-up as it does for cooling down. if youre tired of buying boring club 12inches, look no further! this one will be as comfortable coming through your home stereo as it will be in the club

tenderness - a short-lived disco project helmed by james purdie and skip mahoney only released one 45 and one 12” single during their brief existence. known for their work with chuck brown & the soul searchers & frank hooker & positive people and many more, this duo were undoubtedly a highly talented producer, songwriter and keyboardist combination. originally released on rca in 1978 keep on trying was an underground club hit. the record still packs an immense punch today, it’s a mixture of tough streetwise drums and percussion and swooping dramatic strings and brass will surely hit the spot for disco aficionados. the kind of record you can imagine causing all out pandemonium at the garage while the scents of amyl and sweat fill your nostrils. the kind of record that would make everyone on the raised stages and podiums at the powerhouse whoop and holler in collective joy as frankie stylishly segues it into a punishing percussion break-down. yep. it’s that kind of disco record, so rare and so coveted that even the infamous dj harvey put it over his knee and gave it a good editing way back when. there’s been a shedload of poor imitations knocking around, dodgy euro bootlegs etc, but this 2017 repress is from the master tapes (yes, we can prove it) and is fully, 100% legit in every way. keep on trying - now available again, released in conjunction with rca. back on the streets. same as it ever was! essential disco heat here, buy on sight!

joey negro und sean p sind nicht nur leidenschaftliche plattensammler, sondern auch ein geschmackssicheres kompilations-duo. als solches haben die beiden engländer in den letzten jahren die legendären sampler-reihen “disco (not disco)”, “destination boogie” und “the soul of disco” auf die beine gestellt. letztere erlebt mit der doppel-lp “the soul of disco vol. 1” einen zweiten frühling. die zusammenstellung, die als gatefold-platte auf den markt kommt, enthält zehn ausgesuchte stücke der ersten “the soul of disco”-fassung von 2005, die damals als 2cd mit insgesamt 23 tracks erschien, und die joey negro und sean p ganz besonders am herzen lagen. selbstredend handelt es sich dabei um songs extrem seltener und damit extrem kostspieliger 12”es, die allein bei ausgewiesenen disco-connaisseuren im plattenschrank zu finden sind. die kollektion spannt mit sechs original-raritäten und vier dj-freundlichen edits von joey negro und sean p einen bogen über die jahre 1976 bis 82.
