limited repress due to high demand on requests on white vinyl. one of the most soulful eps of these last months, especially when you get to know why it is called >h57< jaffa surfas tracks for the 3rd release of the belgian underground label eating records are more than personal for the artist. he impresses us all in every single quality way he takes in notable releases on different labels from his first feel it ep on off recordings to the last all inn records (including a bright tool from the italian duo bassa clan). we can talk also about how he holds a strong appreciation from the soul, funk, disco, through all the shades of house music and all the way up to techno. it does not seem a surprise to see him producing a track as okota. we can notice some vinyl scratches and effects with some small vocal snippets from the legendary hungarian comedian, the stand-up artist hofi geza.
aufgenommen in isolation während einer globalen pandemie, ist new earth eine dunkle italo-platte, die mit licht durchtränkt ist. auf den acht neuen tracks halten tanzende synthesizer perfekt die balance zwischen dem reichen traum von einem verzauberten leben und melancholie. die gitarren sind einen schritt zurück getreten, so dass disco-beats den boden fluten und fröhlicher spaß vorherrscht. die platte nimmt eine rückkehr in die tanzräume vorweg, imaginiert gemeinsame erlebnisse und zelebriert die persönliche kraft.
das telefon klingelt um mitternacht. der ton hallt durch die flure ihres hauses in den hollywood hills. nervös heben sie den schweren hörer ab, nur um das verzweifelte atmen eines verrückten zu hören... derselbe verrückte, der schon seit monaten anruft. willkommen bei deranged fan, der filmmusik zu einem imaginären amerikanischen thriller von tom guycot.

reissue - k-hand, the undisputed -first lady- of detroit house and techno, continues her series of rereleases for some of acacia records most sought after catalog. acacia s reputation as music from a well known place to an unknown destination precedes it with a reach that is once again being expanded upon. originally making its mark in 1993, -not giving up- is a piano chord led number with eccentric disco era falsetto vocals interspersed between a house diva counterpart, all undercut by equally classic rough around the edges low end - touching on hand s influences from the new york golden days. the plastic dream mix is a more sinister springboard of sounds with an urgent energy sure to rip through speaker stacks and leave audiences in shreds. easily its dreamiest incarnation, the disco dream adaptation lends itself to bouncier, filtered grooves and vocal dubs. the ghetto growl of -beat that bitch wit a stick- was and still remains a huge track for k-hand and the label. pulling from a sound that originated in chicago, it became equally prominent in detroit through the work of hand and others. its accompanied here by an instrumental version for those that don t share in the street logic, but nonetheless love the gritty production style. finally, the legendary claude young s mix of - deep down 2- sees him implementing wavering chords and loopy vocals with a purposefully loose nyc stutter

nycs legendary sam records dropped the mysteriously named k.i.d.s dont stop- in 1981. it has it all trancey arpeggios, vocoders & vocals trading off with each other, brass & some heavyweight disco drums that helped propel it forth into the hallowed category of club classic. the record perfectly suited the open minds and open ears of discerning disc jocks in locales such as new york and chicago where this sublime piece of electronic disco sleaze would get plenty burn on the city s infamous wbmx thus having a huge impact, along with a whole host of other similar records, on the burgeoning house scene that was germinating in the fertile mid western soil. b-side cut do it again is a pleasant enough early 80 s disco jam, but compared to the futuristic burner that is dont stop on the other side theres one clear winner. a must have for all cosmic, disco, funk aficionados. now made available again, legitimately licensed, remastered and reissued in conjunction with sam records new york city.
