Essential reissue!! The producer and dj from Chicago Joey Kay published in 1994 an EP that soon became a favorite of the 90s house DJs around the world: 'Eclectiz Ep'. The legendary label House Jam Records was responsible for editing and selling it. Nowadays, in 2016 (22 years later) the owners of the label Bons Records have been in contact with Joey Kay and they have been quick to reach an agreement to make a remastered edition of the great Eclectiz Ep including the same tracks that the original version but at an affordable price to everyone, not favoring the speculation around these kind of musical gems, mostly in platforms like Discogs. 'Eclectiz Ep' has been remastered by Robert Feuchtl (Fat Of Excellence) More

Following the success of its first release by the ever elusive Jason Grove, the vinyl-only sub-label Skylax Extra Series returns with a little something beyond special. For those house-heads in the know, the man needs no introduction, but for those uninitiated, sit back and prepare for this double 12” selection to further your education in house music.Joey Kay hails from Chicago in the US and has influenced a great many producers in the last two decades with his signature take on the deep house sound. He keeps things simple in the best possible sense of the word, stripping back tracks to their bare essentials in order to maintain what the spirit of house music is all about: the groove, the soul and the feeling of being carefree, even if only experienced for a few minutes at a time. There are no superfluous or ancillary sounds in Joey’s music and this is all the more evident when taking a step back and listening to his spectrum of output in this collection, which spans more than twenty years of his career.

124 Recordings are pleased to introduce their first release,Joey Kay's 'Toy Piano' with a remix courtesy of Washerman.Joey Kay from Chicago has been producing since 1989,and has only chosen to appear on a small number of releases,starting with "Eclectiz" (House Jam - 1994).He has also appeared on the highly influential 'My Love Is Underground Label' MLIU09 in 2012,where his track 'Fill Er Up' was championed by label owner Jeremy Underground Paris.He has also recently appeared on the 'Welcome Back To The Underground' label in Paris WBTTU#3 with the track 'Fewer Than None'.'Toy Piano' is the real sound of Chicago House Music,with its bumping,raw groove,made by one of its own,who was there when it all began.On remix duty we have a man who needs no introduction-Switzerland's Gianni Siravo,aka Azuni aka Washerman.To say he has been prolific in terms of House Music would be an understatement,from Azuni's seminal 'Raw Chord' to 'Here You Come/Believe' with releases on Boe Recordings,Morris Audio,and Compost's Drumpoet Community.It was on the latter label that he became widely know,as Washerman and the massive 'Basement Chord'.Here he takes Joey Kay's original mix and takes it deeper and darker,giving it a Wild Pitch old school flavour.This will be a vinyl only release-enjoy!
