new lp by alastair galbraith

funky disco house

180gr black vinyl, full colour sleeve. our journey continues with an ep of pure ageless music for the dancing brain, four tracks dusted from the archives of this mysterious artist. real name alastair johnson released only few eps and one album in the mid/late 90s and then almost disappeared, we are more than happy to have the opportunity to highlight this material. the other big great satisfaction is also to be able to involve the historical warp-affiliated duo b12 for a really deep and spacey interpretation. have a good trip!
