Vinyl ONLY - 200 PRESSED. Hand stamped - numbered

Tracklist: A1/ Gangsta - Tome Gillieron mix - A2/Gangsta original mix , B1/Gangsta - Jay Tripwire mix - B2/Gangsta - David Holness mix

The 12th Release from GIANT RECORDS is from BASEMENT UK - Abian Saavedra and Brando Morales are two young producers that hail from the Canary islands and both have a massive love and respect for the early UK HOUSE & GARAGE sound - hence their name. Their track - GANGSTA - lends itself to the above mentioned sound and could surely stand the test of time among those early classics and it reminds us of an early Grant Nelson Nice&Ripe groove, Wicked swinging drums and hats that all sit comfortably on a low sub bass and spoken word jam.
The next mix of GANGSTA is from long time Giant favorite TOM GILLIERON - Tom's mix is dark and twisted with hidden layers that swell and grow through the track - his mix builds and builds with a subtle use of the original vocal which then turns into a trippy late night slice of dark magic - Tom's sound is 100% on the button on this mix - EXCEPTIONAL !
The following mix is from long standing Tech-House master - JAY TRIPWIRE - Jays mix takes us on a 303 Acid ride into a heady state of affairs, twisting and turning the dial until the point of break - a serious peak time killer.
The last mix falls on DAVID HOLNESS - keeping the essence of the original but adding more punch and a heavy weight bottom end and sweet Techno pads - that will sure to rock many a dance floor. Vinyl only - 200 pressed and hand stamped and numbered.

Tracklist:
A -SIDE - LOW JAM - ORIGINAL MIX - SASCHA DIVE MIX
B-SIDE - NO PERSPECTIVE - ORIGINAL MIX - GRANT DELL REMIX
REMIXERS - SASCHA DIVE - GRANT DELL

GIANT RECORDS see's in the new year with a killer EP from a bright new producer from Poland - by the name of - MARIUZ KRYSKA - Mariuz offers up two peak time grooves here with remix duties falling on - SASCHA DIVE and GIANT head honcho GRANT DELL. The first track up is LOW JAM, which see's the original mix dive into a deep drum lead swing - reminiscent of old Todd Terry beats, that have gone before, all topped off with a spoken word and tight hats and rides.
Next up is SASCHA DIVE - giving LOW JAM a slowed down Dubby feel with some sweet Dubbed-out stabs that evolves into that deep house sound that sascha has mastered over the years.
Next cut is NO PERSPECTIVE - Mariuz's original mix is a relentless bass heavy work out which weaves around some slick west coast gangsta rhymes and Detroit style strings and pads.
GRANT DELL'S take on No perspective leans on the Detroit style pad, from the original and add's some off kilter 808 beats that sit nicely along some smart 303 stabs and the gangsta rhyme - which then merges into a slick Techno jam with added breakbeat's.

Tracklist
A1. Forever bob Grant Dell mix A2. Forever bob Terry Francis mix B1. Forever bob Mark Allister&Luke Holden mix B2. Forever bob Faton Dolaku mix

Shortinfo:

The Forever Bob EP is a requiem to Bob De Rosa by his long time close friends and collaborators Grant Dell, Terry Francis, Mark Allister and Faton Dolaku. These recordings draw on fond memories of their time spent with a man who lived for underground dance music and is rightly regarded as one of its true originators.

As resident DJ at Heart & Soul from 1993, Bob set the benchmark for sonic excellence, helping to define the sound of the underground - acid and Chicago house flawlessly fused with techno and electro. And it wasn't just the music - the people that Bob helped to bring together, created a chemistry that kick started a whole movement. Whoop Whoop, Wiggle and countless other underground parties have grown an extended family tree.

Touring Australia with Mr. C and crossing the USA with DIY in the nineties, Bob's deck talents won him the wider acclaim of an increasingly international audience, including regular appearances in Kosovo. A succession of releases with Grant on Uhuru Beats, Totem and Hooj Choons also brought recognition for his production skills.

Facing a terminal condition, Bob continued to play and attend many of the events he and his legacy had inspired. He was still there supporting his mates, spreading positive vibes, peace love and happiness with a big beaming smile. From the outset, right up to the end, Bob De Rosa resolutely remained the heart, the soul and the pure spirit of the party.

A1. Grant Dell's mix references the early Chicago house of the wide-eyed nights they spent together at Bob's Full House and Energy. It gets back to the kind of groove they championed through their many releases together

A2. Terry Francis' mix evokes the kind of dark, angular delights Bob pioneered as main resident at Heart and Soul. The spoken sample offers a few well chosen words. Bob and Terry also released an EP on Eye 4 Sound together as the Sweet Leaf Grinders.

AA1. Bognor's finest Mark Alistair, who introduced Bob to more memorable South Coast weekenders than either could fully recall, navigates deeper and choppier waters for his mix with Luke Holden.

AA2. Faton Dolaku booked Bob to play Kosovo so many times; Bob met the love of his life, Arta there. Faton's mix evokes sun-drenched sunrises and warm feelings of togetherness.

Tracklist:
A1 / The way we feel - original mix B1/ The way we feel - Tom Gillieron remix

The forth inline on Giant is again from GRANT DELL this time grant take us on a deep dive into the realms of a trippy moog lead madness, on - THE WAY WE FEEL - Filtered out dub stabs evolve around a timothy leary inspired spoken word - dark heady madness. The next version is from TOM GILLIERON - Tom's been releasing some wicked music since 1997 on some influential labels and his mix shows why just that. Reminiscent of an old school - MOOD 2 SWING meets BASIC CHANNEL kind of groove - his mix twists and turns and takes us into a wicked spaced out techno jam but keeping the swing on the drums and the snap on the sub lead groove.

Tracklist:
A1 / In your mind - original mix A2/ In your mind - Grant Dell's space echo mix
B1/ In your mind - Silicone soul's Darkroom dub. B2 / In your mind - Silicone soul's Hypnohouse mix

After making a great impression with its first EP, Giant Records serves up a second hot helping of house music from boss man Grant Dell, complete with fresh remixes by Scottish techno stalwarts Silicone Soul.
Dell, also known as Chicago Transit Authority, has been doing his do for 25 years now. As a DJ he is at home in clubs in Ibiza and Barcelona as well as around the rest of Europe, and is someone who always prefers to push his own brand of widely infused and influenced music than his own profile.
Once again here he comes up trumps with the emotive, glowing house cut 'In Your Mind'. With a neat bassline and mid tempo house drums, subtle but effective synth smears add warmth and colour to the groove, whilst soul fuelled vocals add a real sense of personality. This is sure to get people grooving at any hour and comes with Grant's own Space Echo remix. As the title suggests it's a more dubby and reverb rich affair with cosmic signifiers and sci-fi vibes pervading from start to finish.
Silicone Soul need little introduction having been at the heart of real deep house and techno for decades on the Soma label. Their first remix is a Darkroom Dub - named after their own label - and is a seductively slo-mo and lazily unfolding house cut with languid synths that really suck you in. Their lush Hypnohouse Mix is then a twinkling, late night bit of melodically rich deep house with starry skies twinkling above sombre chords.
This is a patiently served but hugely alluring EP that is stuffed with plenty of tender feeling. One again then, both Grant and Giant have come up with the goods

Tracklist:
A1 / Not going back - original mix A2/ Not going back - Jay tripwire remix
B1/ Not going back - Grant dell's euro mix.

GIANT'S first release is from the south coast's underground stalwart MARK ALLISTER. Giant is aiming to bring you a selection of older and up and coming producers who inspire and represent the sound of the label and Mark fits that bill to a tee. Although he has been DJ'ing for over the last 20 years Mark is just starting to venture out into producing, and what a way to start. Not only does Mark create, on NOT GOING BACK, what we would call, a proper old school Tech-House groove, he sings on it to.
The release starts with Mark's original mix - which builds from crisp drum patterns into subtle lush swells and then Mark's vocal drops right after the tripped out break, a sure fired dancefloor track.
The next version is from Canada's finest - JAY TRIPWIRE - Jay really needs no introduction, the man is a legend in his own right and here he delivers what he calls his " Marimba machine redux ' and it's exactly that - A future dancefloor classic for sure.
Next up is GRANT DELL'S version, which see's grant build the track around Mark's vocal and giving the track some more added depth with some kraftwork style keys and synth lines turning out a slick Euro mix.
