12"

Debut ep by this Russian based newcomer under the alias LOW TAPE.The A-side features two club oriented jams with crusty snares, Mr Fingers-ish dreamy chords and some genuinely crunching acid squelches. On the flip side, LOW TAPE delivers an eight minute opus, utilising a variety of hissed-out samples and compositional flourishes to well and truly encapsulate a days-gone-by era of dance music.

Classic Detroit house alert! Rick Wilhite’s “Godson EP” originally got released on Moodymann’s KDJ label in 1997 and was never repressed… until now. All tracks were remastered and this release includes a bonus unreleased Moodymann remix. Check that original Detroit house vibe.. big release!

First time official reissue of now much in demand record. Originally released in 1990.In the pivotal period before the end of Apartheid, the fluff of bubblegum was starting to boil over into what later became the tougher township-centric sounds of kwaito. Amidst this volatile and transitional climate a mysterious kid named Eddie Magwaza started making moves in the studio, creating music for a vibrant street dance style that was blowing up in SA, called pantsula. At the time, other groups were also starting to create faster and more instrumental dance music which suited this agile style of dancing, but on this album Magwaza managed to channel the cosmic chant of italo and the sweaty energy of early house music in a unique and peerless way that has captured the ears and feet of DJs and dancers around the world many years later.Magwaza, who wasn't even 20 when he made this album in 1990, had the help of seasoned studio whizzes Lucky Matante & Jan Smit with programming, sequencing and engineering, and their studio mastery really takes flight on the dub version of the title cut which has made the album so desirable in the last few years. Sadly Magwaza was shot and killed shortly after the release of the album and it stands as the last testament to his brilliant vision.Remastered and pressed on a loud 12" Mashisa is once again available to spread the pantsula spirit to dancing bodies everywhere.
