balearica brings the quality yet again with another stunning selection of unearthed eclectic gems. first up is one of the the all-time balearic/cosmic classics, the highly sought-after *i love you dancer* from french disco group voyage, a wonderfully funky floor-filling paean to fancy dancers and sweet romancers - total killer! followed by the dreamy instrumental version of italian crooner vasco rossis *una splendida giornata*, a beautiful sweeping slo-mo chugger. another instrumental opens the b-side, this time fonda raes in-demand dub of *heobah* with its relentless tripped-out synth groove. and lastly we have michael cretus little-known cosmic delight *flying to heaven*, a glorious slice of laid-back pop paradise hidden away on the b-side of a super-rare 1978 italian 12 inch. essential collection for lovers of the balearic sound.

weve complied two blackman and maurice joshua productions for the fourth house of trax 12inch. its a bit of a dirty one... to say the least. althought more polictically incorrect then a dutch politician, these humourous trax will set fire to the speakers for the right reasons too. the little known blackman had a 1993 release with >beat that bitch with a bat<, a song which later got popularized by johnny dangerous. the original 12inch got pressed up in small quantities and is available for the first time in 17 years. on the flip theres both the vocal and instrumental version of maurice joshuas (with hot hula hands) >i got a big dick<, which originally came out in 1988, as the a-side of his more known >this is acid<. both tracks are pretty rare these days and will still go down a storm on the dancefloor.
