when i first stumbled across mix tapes out of hamburgs seminal front club (with klaus stockhausen and boris dlugosch at the helm) during the glorious and carefree early days of the popularized internet, there were certain tracks on them that struck a chord. in fact there was one specifically, i couldnt stop listening to. the mixture of an infectious bass line, a super sharp snare, music and harmony vocal snippets, happy claps and synths lines that evoked pictures of a convertible going down a coastline, and - to top it all off - a tribal chant, was irresistible. after some intensive track-id-hunting pre-shazam, i found out that the heaven-sent hymn was music by an act called syncbeat. originally released in 1984 during the craze that was called uk electro via street sounds resp. streetwave and later licensed to german omnivore zyx records. a joint venture between the electro-funk mastermind,dj pioneer and edit maestro greg wilson as well as manchester musicians martin jackson & andy connell, it is exactly that type of dance track that eludes any classification - as you can see from my description above. or to cite greg wilson himself from one of his essays on the subject of uk electro: the track that received the best response was music by syncbeat, which was full of good vibes and could have easily been re-vamped down the line as a house track.

one of the gems on the smash hit album soulmatic , purple disco machine & boris dlugosch s, love for days gets the remix treatment three ways. first up the master kenny dope - crisping up that shuffling rhythm with some added percussion and synthesiser arps to turn what was already a peak time soulful anthem, into a close to 8 minute extended journey drawing you in more and more with each build up and breakdown. next up the pdm offers up an extended mix of the original, a welcome sight for those djs on the club scene who have been rinsing this since the album dropped last year. finally, motez takes you into raunchy, r&b tinged, garage territory, really honing in on karen hardings incredible vocals whilst incorporating brooding pads and sweeping fxs to create a special twist on the original.

much could be said about german house royalty boris dlugosch. from his teen dj years under the wings of fronts legendary klaus stockhausen in hamburg to his own marvelous tenure there that is pretty much synonymous with the explosion of acid house in its proto- and post-incarnations. one could examine his role as a herald of us garage and jersey house or as a remixer of underground gone pop records. but we will leave that and other stories for the front page soon. the traveller ep is the result of dlugosch and cassara meeting at a mutual friend of theirs, getting excited about their shared love for classic synths (see sh-101 for the traveller bass line) and exploiting the latter’s extensive synth collection. what you get: classic disco, french house, electro-funk, dj sound effects (that tractor plowed the front every night) and most of all fun, fun and a little bit of extra fun. chin-stroking impossible.…
