Speedy J - Analogical Dub
Another early standout release from Speedy J's vast catalog. The follow up for the 'Rise EP', also originally released on Plus 8 Records in 1991, with the apt named title track 'Evolution'. Jochem's style of producing music was evolving while still influenced by all the music arriving in the Rotterdam import record stores. The US, UK or Belgium didn't matter, good music was the key... but this was definitely one of the pre-cursors to his first albums.

Remastered reissue of the second landmark EP for Plus 8 Records by Speedy J. Again expanding on the emerging sounds of Techno Speedy J took it further into euphoric, minimal lofi and bleepy territory with ''Rise'', ''Tresor'' and ''De-orbit''. All while effectively stripping it down to the bare bones rocking only a 909 and a vocal sample on ''Something For Your Mind''. This release and in particular ''Something For Your Mind'' was there at the forefront of techno as we know it these days with a harder, raw and no-nonsense approach and all its variations such as Gabber that grew out of that in Rotterdam the following year.

Speedy J - De-Orbit
Debut studio album by Dutch electronic music producer and DJ Speedy J (real name Jochem Paap), Ginger was originally released in June 1993 as part of Warp Records Artificial Intelligence series.
Remastered in 2021, the reissue contains the original design by longtime Warp collaborators The Designers Republic.
Rotterdam-based Jochem Paap began creating techno tracks such as “Three O’Three” and “Something For Your Mind” in his hometown to play out in clubs, and chose the artist name Speedy J as a reference to his DJ skills. As commented on by All Music, Paap's clear intent with Ginger was "to take his music out of the rave and into the home-listening environment," and balance elements of the manic energy that defined his early releases with a lush sound palette. Writing and recording on his own in The Plant studio, the album was released on a number of different labels internationally and brought his minimal but melodic production style to a far wider audience, with critics noting his meticulous attention to audio design, skillful use of track interludes (the “Fill” tracks on Ginger, something Black Dog Productions also explored on Bytes), and a careful balancing of four-to-the-floor grooves with ambient textures. He released a second album with Warp, 1995’s G-Spot, and has continued to make a diverse range of electronic music, included releases on labels such as Mike Paradinas’ Planet Mu and Peter Namlook’s FAX +49-69/450464, and showcasing a more experimental strand of releases via his own Electric Deluxe imprint. The music on Ginger has been highlighted as a seminal release in a number of retrospective features by the likes of Pitchfork, The Wire and FACT.

Speedy J, - Shoegaze
Get ready for a new stunning EP from Electric Deluxe Mastermind Speedy J! With Shoegaze EP Speedy J has created another incredible body of work. A snapshot of a?process, a form that emerges without intention - Half dreaming and half awake -?shaping relentlessly pulsing tracks, vibrant and effortlessly contemporary. The vinyl A side Shoegaze (Speedy J out of Focus Dub) takes you right into the core of Speedy J's massive production wizardry.?Amorphous drone sounds, dusty yet smooth and intimate, create a monumental space, while a pulsing sub-bass is luring you into the groove. The vinyl B side Shoegaze (Edits Select Dub) is up for serious dance floor damage.?A compressed yet heavy bass constantly rolling and pumping from below and the ethereal dub sounds create an amazing flowing driven and hypnotic beast of a track, which is already tearing up the dance floors world wide. Digitally Shoegaze EP goes beyond with two more bonus tracks & tools. Shoegaze (Edit Select Reviset) is starting off more ambient and atmospheric than the B side brother but gets a grip on you soon. Merciless pulsing bass and echoing drone sounds never cease to leave the dance floor out of focus. At last but not least Speedy J's Shoegaze (Tool) the distilled bones of Shoegaze. A piece achieving the seamless connection between usability and artistry. Speedy J's Shoegaze EP truly creates a nu gaze on modern Techno and the open ended dialogue between man and machine.

The legend returns with an incredible body of work. Similar to Red Shift / Bootes (EDLX.001) he's walking the line between cutting edge electronica and modern Techno. Staying true to the Electric Deluxe philosophy of leaving room for interpretation and live remixing, the EP can be viewed as a finished body of work as much as a toolkit for digital DJs. Speedy J himself doesn't need introduction - we rather need a catch up on the multitude of projects he's involved in. Apart from busy tour schedule, headlining the biggest clubs and festivals worldwide, Speedy J's put a serious foundation to his new platform. Since the launch of his label Electric Deluxe in 2008, releases by Tommy Four Seven, Terence Fixmer, George Issakidis and of course Speedy J himself made waves worldwide. Also Speedy J's events Electric Deluxe presents… advanced to the most anticipated Techno events series in the Netherlands and is currently expanding to festivals and other territories. On top, he is constantly pushing digital music boundaries, with projects like Umfeld, Open Collabs, Kreate, and his 9 hour performances on two laptops. Edit Select aka Tony Scott doesn't need much of an introduction either, putting 20 years of music and DJ experience into his work. 2007 Tony Scott started his alter ego-project Edit-Select. Since then his releases on his own self titled imprint have been celebrated by the biggest names to quote in this genre and successively picked up by the most influential labels in Techno today. The vinyl A side Trails (original) is the dignified successor to Red Shift, though a yet more advanced display of Speedy J's creativity, flow and production wizardry. ?Ethereal sounds create space, while surgically compressed bass is sucking us into the groove. A creamy sound, dusty yet smooth and fine grained, with intimate and compact mixing. In the end you find yourself nodding the head to the tune long after it ran out.. On the B side Trails (Edit Select remix) is the floor interpretation, holding high the torch of modern loopy Techno at minus 8. All rave signals pushing, this one is holding the listener on a plateau that seems to rise constantly. No security fence keeping you from falling down the rabbit hole that lurks on the edge. Bass is constantly rolling and pumping from below, snare rolls release adrenalin pushing in and out topped by white noise. The syncopated off-beat groove creates the flowing drive you never want to end.

First released on +8 sub Probe Records in 1992. This one was due for a re-issue.

2025 repress
Tracklist
A1. Earth Boys – Destination Heaven
A2. Family Of Few - Intervoles
B1. Dummy Head – I Have Been Wanting You (Edit Mix)
B2. Karim – In My Mind
Release Note:
Running Back’s Double Copy subsidiary for house music history returns with four musical masterpieces from Chicago, London and an international cast from Italy on its first various artist sampler.
Originally released on Roy Davis Jr.’s Undaground Therapy outlet, Destination Heaven by the enigmatic Earth Boys project delivers a piece of cloud-nine-deep-house that was a staple at Frankfurt’s Wild Pitch Club and during the early days of its successor Robert Johnson. Produced by Cloudy Eyes and Cole Brooks, we unfortunately have never heard from the duo again. Luckily, Family of Few have been a little bit more productive. Also known as Mind Readers, Kevin Elliot and Billy ‚Jack“ Williams produced some of the more tender moments on Detroits 430 West label. Intervoles is amongst the most peculiar and catchy tracks that slow-burning dance floors can hope for.
The flip side turns the attention to the conclusions that Europe drew from its US-role-models. Released in 1992 on Rena Records with the involvement of New York’s JoVonn (a distinct genius of deep grooves himself), the keyboard skills of Pierre Audetat and the production work of I. Betti, M. Clemente and W. Brown, Dummy Head is one of a kind. Swirly echoes, dubby textures and a heavy bass line mate on the Edit Mix of I Have Been Wanting You to create one of the very first examples of fully formed dub-house.
Similar pioneering properties can be ascribed to the work of Rob Mello. We don’t have enough room here to list all his merits, but rest assured that the UK’s house scene wouldn’t be the same without him (Luxury Service Records, Classic et al). Under the Karim guise, Mello delivered a unique stroke of genius. Distilling the essence of deep house, while looking far into the future, In My Mind is many things at once: broken beat, electro, house with embracing chords, and – if you will – a warm-up banger. and does, what all the tracks in here do: turning heads then, turning heads now. Hardcore Deep House!

Célia - A Hora É Essa
Back in stock due to popular demand, the 50th release in our signature Brazil 45’s series. For this edition we reissued two tracks from Célia’s awesome, sought after, second self-titled LP from 1972.
‘Na Boca Do Sol’ was written and arranged by Arthur Verocai and Vitor Martins, the original of which appeared on Verocai’s brilliant self-titled album. Fuzz guitar, drums, strings and Célia’s vocal combine to create an epic Brazilian masterstroke.
On the B side ‘A Hora é Essa’ is the first track from the Célia’s second self-titled LP. A lively samba-funk workout, doused in jazzy piano licks, strutting guitars and punchy horns.
These two classics were also given a 7” pressing in 1972 on Continental, which is very difficult to get hold of now.

Compiled by Rocco Pandiani, the idea for this project began in 1998 coming to life in 2002. Vincent Montana Jr., apart from his great successes with Salsoul and Philly International, can also be considered the godfather of that quality house that has been happening on the underground scene and elsewhere for about 30 years now. This is proven by the fact that his grooves and riffs have been sampled and utilized by many talented producers and artists. This collection really contains everything Vincent represents for our scene.

Hanna - Deixa Rodar

Almir Ricardi - To Parado Na Tua
Back in stock due to popular demand, the 54th release in our signature Brazil 45’s series. For this 7” double header we turned our attention to two outstanding boogie gems from Hanna and Almir Ricardi.
Up first, ‘Deixa Rodar’ is an essential midtempo disco/boogie jam taken from Hanna’s 1979 Deixa Rodar LP from 1979. A tip off from our good friend Mark ‘GV’ Taylor, this is a sure-fire way to light up any dancefloor and was featured in DJ Koco’s incredible Brazil 45’s mix.
On the B side, ‘To Parado Na Tua’ is another killer midtempo disco/boogie cut, this time from Almir Ricardi in 1984. Produced by the legendary duo of Lincoln Olivetti and Robson Jorge it exudes that feel-good boogie flavour they are famous for. Taken from the sought after and now fairly pricey ‘Festa Funk’ LP on RGE.

"Half a decade after Zohra’s spellbinding Badala Zamana launched the label, MTMU returns with an equally obscure and catchy piece of Arab funk by Fatima. "

AA1. Yaga Yao – Emperor Machine Extended Version
Release Info:
Bite the Day is a new Idjut Boys label imprint. We do an occasional London Party of the same name.....the concept is that there isn't one, musical anythingness and more often than not intending to involve collaborative collision with a hitlist of audio gymnasts whose talents can mask our lack of
said talent.
From the vaults of Idjut time past, Dominican Dolla Man delivered a lyric we thought boots some cold reality into today. The mighty Emperor Machine man was called upon to deliver his ministry of musical justice take. If you can figure out the words they are better than your average Christmas
rap song.

Rosa Maria - Deixa Não Deixa

Rosa Maria - Avenida Atlantica
Back in stock due to popular demand, the 41st release in our signature Brazil 45’s series. Turning the spotlight to two monster funk/bossa nova cuts from Rosa Maria, we reissued a double header of firm favourites here at Mr Bongo HQ. Originally released on 7” in 1972 via Tapecar, copies of the OG are extremely difficult to get your hands on.
The A side houses ‘Deixa Nao Deixa’, with its distinct afro-Latin feel courtesy of the guitar, horns and percussion. Add in the catchy lead vocal, strong harmonies, funk/bossa drum grooves, shuffling percussion and the continuous build to the end, and you have one of the greatest Brazilian funk records ever pressed.
‘Avenida Atlantica’ takes the B side. Funk and bossa drum grooves alternate underneath the layers of vocals, horns, piano and percussion for a fiery, energetic dancefloor heater.
