its been a year or two since we featured a 12- single release from a new project. so hear at bearfunk we are really pleased to be releasing a cracker of a track. -gong bong-. it is from the caribbean house who are a new(ish) italian collective based around the core members of billy bogus & ferderico bologna. the original is one part slo-mo disco, one part psychedelic moondance and one part sci-fi horror movie. the track begins with swirling bass guitar and grinding synth before layering on a waft of sound effects and spooky keys. if the first two thirds of the track is a caterpillar then the last third is a butterfly as uplifting riffs and swirls of layered keys bring things to a crescendo. fellow italians the mushrooms project are up on remix duty first of all. they strip back the layers and concentrate on the growling bass and locked on pulsating synth. its back to the uk for the second remix where label honcho stevie kotey gets his percussion out for a drum, timpani and swing remix. stay tuned for more from the collective on bearfunk shortly.

new years deal - bogus & kasillen come up with two original tracks with the consistent help of a mpc 1000, blending old italian horror soundtracks with dubby/cheesy analog sounds so to convey the sense of discomfort you feel while watching a thrilling italian b-movie, but in a clubby way. the final punch comes from the acid psychedelia of a different version of the same track by in flagranti and the 80 s space-like vibe of homeboy ma spaventi .

the caribbean house is a live project that finds bogus teamed up with federico bologna, from seminal technogod and ohmega tribe collective, and cristiano santini, from legendary italian act disciplinatha. straight from electronic italian suburbia of the nineties, skilfully mixed with bogus uncommon approach, this is an outstanding blend of new wave and slow motion disco, strictly for midnight vultures.

4th release for i-robots opilec imprint brings us billy bogus & sal with >the addiction<, a classic italo-disco affair. flip over for an electrofied remixed by nemesi.

after his slo-mo disco debut, the >terror island< 12 inch, pizzico records founding father billy bogus returns to nang with an eagerly awaited full length, named >night movie<. as the name suggests, this is one for the night crawlers. >night movie< is an exercise in twilight disco propulsion, rich with fuzz, funk, world sounds and sci-fi tendencies
