More bold and brash sickness from Gay Marvine. It just gets more perverted when you think about every song from a red hanky perspective. A side = pure disco and deep funk reshaped as tools for today. B side = total cult classics re-visioned to devastate any dance floor.
A1 I Want Yr Love See how well it fits! The classic insidious groove. This is the sound of cocaine, people. The Gay Marvine interpretation takes the shape that another Detroiter found on his political disco classic and allows the full song to reveal itself. A dance floor treasure.
A2 Pitch Black City Originally recorded in Bologna, Italy with the vocals added at the Power Station in NYC. Luther Vandross is not on this one. A major reshape, a real improvement! A highlight of any night.
B side B1 Hilltop In Detroit this was called Techno, because that's what you called Electro then. A knock them dead thunderous classic from an unappreciated uk band. This is an edit of the Bernard Sumner remix, giving it a kind of EBM / new
beat feel, before that even existed. Nice 303. Most likely the inspiration for UR 003 “The Final Frontier”. Restructured by Gay Marvine, fixing all
the off time edits, so that you can destroy the dance floor with ease.
B2 Meatin Don't slap me, because I'm not in the mood. I’d Hate to come down to their level and become a BW. Campy classic More

Sales Note
Gary Beck returns to Mutual Rytm as he unveils a selection of impactful cuts across his debut 12'' on the label, 'Upside Criminal'.

Bek Audio boss and Glasgow techno mainstay Gary Beck has long been a key figure in the scene with a unique sound that has shaped a vast discography. One of the genre's best, with appearances across iconic institutions and collaborations with legendary talents, he is a definitive talent. Returning to SHDW's Mutual Rytm imprint, his new EP lands following his recent appearance on the label's 'Federation Of Rytm III' VA, with the tracks on the package proving as go-to favourites for the label boss over recent months.

''Mutual Rytm has been nothing short of inspirational to me over the last years. I've been playing almost
everything from the label, as the tracks really suited what I was selecting in my DJ sets. The high-quality output really got my juices going to create something for the label, and I was delighted when Marco liked what I sent. This EP signals exactly where I am musically. I'm an absolute sucker for tracks with relentless groovy energy and little breaks, so it felt like a perfect fit. Tracks from the EP have been an absolute joy to play in my sets recently,
and I'm so excited to deliver this EP on my current favourite label, Mutual Rytm.'' - Gary Beck.

The powerful 'Upside Criminal' kicks off with hammering drums and pounding hits that create an inescapable wall of sound that will dominate dance floors of any size. There is more loopy energy to 'Sambana' with its ever more jagged synth stabs and fizzing drum textures while 'Pepper Track' is a futuristic techno workout with rattling snares and mutant synth details peeling off the straight-up groove. 'Rejected' is built around trapped vocal fragments that swirl about the mix to a disorientating effect as the high-speed drums and sheet metal synths race onwards, 'while
Ghost' closes out with a subtle sense of uplifting celebration from the synths that rise up through rusty, rickety techno grooves. Digital Bonus 'Variation 6.1' offers another searing and funky techno stomp, once again providing an extra gem for digital purchasers.

Back in 1979, a new kind of superhero entered the Chicago music scene, "...Daryl Cameron somehow entered the phonebooth of his mind and emerged as Captain Sky." His first album for LA based AVI record The Adventures of Captain Sky was a smash hit and established Captain Sky as a serious Afro Funk artist right next to Detroits George Clinton and Bootsy Collins.The first song on the album, Moonchild was released as a very limited promo 12 and remixed by Chicago radio DJ Peter Lewicki. The result is a timeless cosmic disco tune that may be one of the best disco song ever made.Jerome Derradji and Past Due Records are proud to officially reissue this most wanted Captain Sky 12 for the first time. Later this year, Past Due Records will reissue all of the Captains full length and some more surprises along the way Enjoy! More

There are certain occasions when you can truly feel the stars align. One of these is when the interstellar voyager of cosmic soul Jimi Tenor finally lands his spaceship at full force on a Timmion recording. In 2024, he will be serving us two spaced out album sessions recorded together with Cold Diamond & Mink. Jimi is no stranger in these space ways as he has operated behind the Timmion scenes for years, furnishing several of the label's artists with his flute and reeds artistry. The first album out is titled "Is There Love In Outer Space?", which begs the question with the force of five extended tracks that are guaranteed to blow your mind to the stratosphere. The pieces are loaded with whooshing and glistening synth noises and span from lofi space funk to cinematic soundscapes. The sweetly floating title track is like some of those galactic ballads that rare soul collectors are spending their pensions on. At the other side of the spectrum, album closer `What Are You Doing?' sounds like Sun Ra sat down at a JBs session, and is straight up meant to get that booty moving. Combined with the raw soul prowess of CD&M, Jimi is able to refine new shades from his already impressive repertoire of talent. Even if you are a friend of his previous work you might not have heard him get down quite like this.
