reviously unreleased schizo post-punk/moogy folk score to 1983 british tv scouse-ploitation drama one summer (remember billy and icky?) from the vault of kate bush, serge gainsbourg and david bowie’s best-kept secret session man alan parker. inducing abject fear in protective parents and a street smart swagger amongst clued-up youths, this adaptation of a coming of age pastoral thriller by a reluctant willy russell broke new boundaries pinpointing a cultural teenage void between post punk activism and the acid house years while arguably giving thatcherite telly addicts a tiny kick up the arse. scored by legendary kpm/de wolfe library musician alan parker, this score retains a genre defying personality, pinpointing the stylistic essence of the era while successfully switching from barren rumble fish funk, pastoral moog noodlings, pentangular folk, 80’s post-punk rhythms with hints of dubby

released in 1979 queen samantha’s “take a chance” has gone down in disco history as an all time classic. produced by former aphrodite’s child bassist harris halkitis and featuring elongated naked “dj friendly” drum breaks and uplifting vocals and synths the record was sure to be a hit in discotheques on it’s initial release. the record was a huge success and has been sampled, edited and re-appropriated countless times, it even captured the ears and minds of the nascent hip hop movement that was brewing in new yorks bronx neighbourhoods a few years after it’s release with afrika bambaataa including it on his game changing “death mix” session with jazzy jay in 1983. both sides of the 12&#8243,,,,,, are bona-fide disco gold, pairing queen samantha’s soaring vocals with the stripped back, percussion heavy back drop of halkitis and his band. “take a chance” still sounds as fresh, epic and driving today as it did in ‘79 and still finds favour with forward thinking disco dj’s who include it in sets now. this is only one of many underground disco classics that the mighty miami based tk disco label brought to the world, officially re-mastered, re-pressed and re-issued in conjunction with joe stone / tk disco

parrish smith s debut of dystopic forbidding sets the tone of this label s impressive first release with a superb stark, acid ridden slab of body music. helena hauff adds to the proceedings with her remix of pankows >das vodkalied< taking no prisoners and using heavy percussion in contrast to a wonderfully tense set of arpeggiations, which all descend into skull crushing pressure. carrying over to the flip side are pankow, pioneers of the italian industrial/ebm scene, with two tracks from their legendary first tape -throw out rite- from 1983. with das vodkalied disembodied vocals are cut up and come from every direction driven by a raw, off-kilter energy and pounding beat. i m food for you cranks up the drive and anxiety to create a killer track based around stark arpeggiation. last of all, perseus traxx provides an acidic stripped down venting of frustrations which he spits out with vehemence.

like many of the greatest italo-disco records, tony espositos 1983 double a-side je-na/pagaia is ridiculously rare. put it this way: if you fancy nabbing yourself an original copy, it will make a serious dent in your wallet. this welcome reissue presents both tracks in their original 12inch glory, mixed with clubs in mind by mariano boncaldo of klein & m.b.o fame. its the a-side thats arguably the pick of the pair, featuring as it does a balearic-friendly blend of dense, bongo-laden rhythms, tribal chants and delay heavy guitars. theres a bit more of a hazy disco bounce to pagaia, which sounds a little like a long lost tullio de piscopo record, all jazz-fusion scat singing, sunny horns and shuffling rhythms.

ltd nice price action !! >give it to me hot< is a 4-track ep that pays tribute to one of the hottest, raunchiest (but sadly short-lived) funk/punk groups from the early 80s, sexual harrassment.
sexual harrassment was started by radio dj lynn tolliver whilst he was working at mca records, and the cleveland-based group had a gold single on the heat/montage label. their rarer 6-track album from 1983 has become a collectors item. to do their tracks justice, we asked modern day artists who are synonymous with a sex-driven funk attitude to either cover or reinterpret the originals.
