nice price deal !!! lipservice are proud to welcome a new addition to their label roster. out of city are a tuscan based trio and are no strangers to the scene. having already worked with labels like eskimo and dc recordings they make a melting pot of sounds with their fingers and thumbs!
in dino storai, simone fedi and nicola lopetuso we find a band that seem to effortlessly combine synth music with disco, rock and punk, and their forthcoming lp for lipservice is a real joy to listen to from start to finish.

the lipservice bandwagon rolls into town with yet another musical extravaganza. we have put together a rather tasty single package of one of the standout tracks from chicken lips amazingly nostalgic >experience of malfunction< lp, including remixes by the main stem, zeefungk and the rhythm odyssey.

the rhythm odyssey is dean meredith of chicken lips and bizarre inc fame. >move groove< draws on the wealth of experience dean has in creating spine tingling house music. this club banger has all the hallmarks of classic (ware)house - a relentless piano riff teases an overweight electronic bass, topped off with dean?s trademark, crisp chi-town drums. eric duncan aka dr dunks of rub & tug fame and hot new talent vermin step up to the remix challenge. eric d goes for the disco break approach. he inserts riffs at will and brings an nyc block party feel to the cut. vermin warms up his trusted 808 to spice up the proceedings with a heavy interpretation of this track

excellent deep funky disco, spaced out disco with dubby flavours

after a perfect start with the well-received zeefungk release, lipservice is back in town showing another side of their warped musical brains. the rhythm odyssey is none other than dean meredith who needs no introduction to fans of chicken lips, bizarre inc, goat dance, white light circus and more recently rogue cat. the rhythm odysseys self titled opener is just the kind of track that would have rocked in 1988 but still has the credentials to smash any dance floor in 2009 and beyond! just let the intro do its thing, wait for the drums to drop and watch the bomb to explode. but thats not all! here at lipservice we firmly believe in value for money, so the rhythm odyssey give us the aptly titled >desire< and desire dub. this hook will grab you from the start and will have you thinking that the rhythm odyssey is a resident of the chi-town? no my brothers and sisters the epicentre of real house music is clearly stafford

some would say the chicken lips label is long overdue, but lipservice is worth the wait as it promises the very best from augmented cl clan of dean meredith, andy meecham, stevie kotey and johnny spencer - a collective who have remixed just about everyone, spawned a thousand copycats and destroyed a few floors in the process. the inaugural lipservice release sees the chaps unleash zeefungk, one of their most popular and rare guises. the a-side is occupied by >robot eyes< - a splendid slice of electro-disco-funk which is vintage chicken lips. acid bass and loose drums combine with keys which progress wonderfully to create a really special piece of dancefloor tomfoolery. next up is >feast of freeks< (stevie koteys tape edit), a new edit of a track featured on the bands now-classic >extended play< album but never released as a 12inch. the bearfunk main man and all round gent delivers a tweaky, driving uptempo disco monster which climaxes in some trademark kotey madness. >robot lips< closes the packages and displays more of the guys unreal keyboard work as the groove stays steady but the hands go hyper. riddled with vintage synth work, >robot lips< is heads down business and no mistake.
