a killer clubby groove from steve marshall û the kind that reminds us of the best indie singles from the late 70s disco years! steve plays alto sax here over a strutting, high stepping rhythm thats got plenty of warm touches û really glowing with a sense of soul thats great, and touched by some female chorus vocals that are very much in a philly mode! the disco mix is great û even more upbeat and extended than the 45 groove. in the country is a great bit of club jazz û smooth and sweet, but still with a snakey flute line in the middle û almost like some lost bobbi humphrey track from her epic years. do what you will is another chorus vocal number û and you are the world features some laidback mellow flute.

dickie is no longer prepared to stand idly by watching the current team failing to live up to the high standard set by the great den haag team of 75, how he longs for the anthem that is fc den haag to be on every city radio station celebrating the feats of the current team. sadly though todayÆs team does not live up to dickieÆs expectations, so much so in fact that dickie brings us the anthem to try and induce self belief in the team, æfc den haag, we are the bestÆ, so upset is dickie that heÆs considering coming out of retirement and offering his services to the team. following the anthemic opener, morwyck blues resonates with the sadness that dickie feels on matters close to his heart, while the hague jam is the perfect track for driving from den haag to scheveningen (or anywhere) at 3am. full of his trade mark 808 beats, vocoded vocals and searing melodies, dickie has produced tracks suitable to be played loudly on the cassette player of every bmw as it cruises around the city streets at night, searching for young souls to be evangelised to the ways of the 808 beat.

our third release is introducing to you more intensely the musical personality of dairmount, founder & a&r of our the label. longtime independent music activist born in belgium (formerly known as philarmonix), dairmount is a natural born “freestyler” who embraced anything soulful & groovy since the late 80‘s, playing & travelling the world for 15 years. hamburg is the city where he settled down in the last 6 years and 2009 marks the accomplishment of his personal dream to found room with a view, shelter of his musical fantasies. friendship & challenge are two values that defi ne phil pretty well so it is no surprise that musical collaborations & versatility tightly express his musical approach and personal ethic. after displaying bass-ment tale, an old school house tribute produced with his partner in crime marino berardi, on the fi rst episode of the perspectives serie, dairmount is presenting subakuatik blues on his fi rst ep. recorded in 2007 with his good friend ralf petter, an “old cat” of the hamburg music scene, this track managed to capture the essence of these great studio sessions : phil’s natural obsession to create hybrid club material & ralf’s amazing engineering skills matching perfectly to create this sub-aquatic dream that resulted in the track name. lost in the world of analogue synths of ralf’s studio, they created a 9 minutes odyssey crossing the lines between deep house, disco futurism & detroit infl uences topped by a surprising “ravy” breakdown. phil approached naturally two of his longtime favorite producers to give their own perspectives of the timeless feel of the original : russ gabriel, who phil has always admired for the depth of his output on ferox, planet e or his own soul on wax, has signed a beautiful version of the track. extremely subtle & hypnotic, this remix is a true blessing & a great pride. mood music’s honcho sasse, old friend of phil, retouched with lots of love & care the track that he went crazy for and even realised 2 vers
