12" Ltd

In 1987 Tor Dietrichson released new age masterpiece Global Village. Carnival Rhumba, an uptempo latin jazz number featured on the b-side. With snapping congas, wild guitars, and an over all groovy melody, it stood out as the most dancy tune on the album. Here you get the song remastered, on a loudly pressed 12 inch and as digital. On the whole A-side Prins Thomas delivers an extended edit, with all it's best parts spread out for an extraordinary dancefloor experience. On the b-side you get the original, and a dub-version of the long edit. Buckle up, you are in for a treat.

12" Vinyl Only, Art, Third release for Neppå, Oslobased label focusing on lost and overseen recordings.

Tracklist 12":

Side A Stars (12 inch mix)
Side B Eye To Eye
Stars (7 inch mix)


In 1981, Nick Robson wrote Stars. The song can pretty much be described as a slow, cosmic disco song. It has an unusual feel, and it comes as Oslo-based Neppås third release. This 12" holds the 12" mix, the 7" mix, and the original B-side Eye To Eye. The original 12" is as rare as they come, and here you get the original material, fully licenced, and remastered. The process of recording the material back in 1981 was not an easy one, as Nick Robson recalls:

"Fame by David Bowie is one of my favourite songs, period. I was 18 when i wrote Stars and i wanted to write something that was my version of Fame and quite honestly, as a tribute to the song. If you listen to the bass lines, there is a hint of similarity in the two. Even the lyric of Stars has a passing reference to Fame.
Stars was one of four songs recorded at Gary's Rock City studio to supply the first two singles and form the basis of the first album. The other three tracks were Eye To Eye, Boys and She'a Like Ice. Although all four tracks were finished, for one reason or another, Boys never made it to pressing and i walked away from the business to pursue a career in film.
Stars itself, was the most ardous and problematic track that i've ever recorded. It took around 14 days to finally get an agreed mix when the budget probably only ran to three days. Part of the reason for this is the enormous quantity of music tracks recorded in the song. In those days, we only had 24 recordable tracks available on the Otari, so once you had recorded 23 or less actually, you had to bounce down sub-mixes to a single track to free up another batch of tracks. I think that there are around 46 tracks of instruments alone on Stars so although that kind of track usage is not uncommon now, back then it was rare. It remains the single most expensive song i ever recorded. The B-side Eye To Eye, on the other hand, was written, recorded and mixed in one day."

B Side features an Edit by Prins Thomas

Tracklist 12":

Side A Change your style
Side B Change your style (Prins Thomas edit)


In 1980, dutch outfit Renée came out with the album "Reaching for the sky". It`s made of delicate pop-songs, with lovely little hooks and ice cold guitars. From songs that sounds almost ABBA, to more Reggae-sounding stuff, and avant pop. In the middle of it all you`ll find Anja Nodelijks hypnotic voice.
The albums highlight is the song "Change your style", already a semi-classic on the Balearic scene. The song can probably be described as "wonky pop funk", with a twist. On the A-side you get the original. On the B-side Prins Thomas has stretched the greater parts, giving the song the length it probably deserves. Almost six minutes of bliss.

2025 Repress

Tracklist 12":
1) Mydonna 2) Mydonna (Alternate Cut) 3) Torrox 4) Coast To Coast

Info:
The COEO boys need no introduction anymore. Their two last singles made it into the sets of so many DJs. They are among the emerging artists of that new German scene of kids that make house music inspired by old Jazz and Funk records. The boys are mad about rare vinyl. And they love to make music with a positive spirit. Yes, there is something sunny in their tracks. Something that instantly makes you want to move. We heard so many mixtapes that started with a COEO track. Makes sense: They are perfect to set a vibe. A good mood. But if you know that the COEO boys work in a studio over the roofs of Munich, with a fantastic view over the lights of the city, with a great vibe where you see all the glammy colors of the light in the night..… then you understand why COEO's music sounds as it sounds.

Tracklist:
A. Esperanza (Luciano Flow Latino Mix)
B. Esperanza (David Morales Red Zone Mix)
Info:
Cadenza´s head honcho Luciano teams with House music legend David Morales
up for “Esperanza” a long awaited release that will fire up the summertime. David
and Luciano composed the track together but then each one refined his own personal
mix.
Luciano ´s “Flow Latino Mix” is a long tribalistic ground moving crescendo with a
sub-frequency dense kick and sparkling nuyorican flavoured percussions. The hand
drums ensemble ride a magnetic bass provoking a state of hypermnesia slowly
reaching a climax of celestial chords. This subtle spectral progression finally breaks
down a feeling of positive trust and spiritual healing.
David Morales' "Red Zone Mix" is a lengthy dramatic ascension with a darker
feeling. Stretched textures are the background of a constellation of scattered
percussions, over which fast paced hi-hats subliminally introduce evocative strings
and arpeggios, as they were coming out, at last, as the Hope from the Pandora's
Box.

Tracklist :
A Kill frenzy B1 Lefty's bar B2 Ken sent me
Release Info:
Take Daniel Leseman's signature swing and loose arrangements, add a touch of Junktion's knack for jazzy chords and sampling, and you get Fouk. After a set of excellent solo releases on their own Outplay records and Slow Town, the duo now turn to Heist with a killer EP. Kill Frenzy's wobbling bass line might easily be a playful Dave Holland getting into his zone, and all the tiny elements and variations give Kill Frenzy that perfect vibe to really get a party going. Lefty's Bar goes a step further on the jazzy vibe, with the same loose percussion and vintage keys, a lazy horn section and a lovely twisted and turned female vocal sample filtering in and out. Ken sent me is perhaps the most straightforward track on the EP, with Rhodesy pads and a great use of tremolo to give swing to the 4x4 rhythm. Our suggestion: get it while you can, cause this one is gonna hit hard.
Sincerely yours,
Lars & Maarten
