during the eighties it was possible to observe an italian fascination with the mysterious far east. this can be found across art, design and music in italy during this time, in subtle or obvious ways. specifically there are italo-disco records that proudly show this influence, some of the best known being: fun fun – -living in japan-, koto – -chinese revenge- and city-o – -rose of tokyo-.

following in this theme is fancy – -null null-. not to be confused with the famous euro-disco artist behind -slice me nice-, this fancy is a one-off project from italo-disco icon raffaele fiume, the artist and voice behind many great italo-disco hits, such as: helicon – -you ... see-, malcom & the bad girls – -shoot me- and ralph river band – -strange vibration-.

adding to the original tracks of the 1982 release is a totally ecstatic and powerful remix from betonkust: one of the most talented and exciting dutch producers of recent years. also included is an instrumental edit from hysteric, for those who find the unique vocals challenging.

queen and disco are back with a two track record nothin fancy ep on their own imprint on the a side we have the slower of the two tracks lets go all the way a brass filled disco delight staying true to its original form. flip to the b side and you are welcomed with a percussion laden groove that is up on tempo as well as excitable vocals with everlasting shouts of be yourself.

the moment the track between pounds its first kick, you can t help but be immediately sucked in by doc sleeps ear for sophisticated, minimal, beautifully engineered sounds. between is a track that stays on its groove while soft gorgeous pads pass over you like waves, it s the perfect time for patrons of a dingy basement dance floor to connect in the dark. lastly, ampere is a track that lays out a solid techno soundscape that is mixed up at the listeners surprise with heavily reverb’d snare hits and brooding sweeps. on the b side, two remixers bring doc sleep s ep into a different dimension. bottom forty label head nark extracts the gorgeous pads and pulls them to the forefront of between, starting with a long ethereal intro sure to stop and sway any dance floor before continuing into a grimy minimal 303 bass line as the subtle rubs to doc sleep s original sounds lend it an exasperated grinding element. the second remix from bottom forty artist cid & fancy takes ampere into a place of rhythmic organized chaos with synth stabs that shoot off like metal sparks.
