Also known as the festival's headliner and the man behind Amsterdam's finest record shop/label Rush Hour, all 11 tracks are selected by Antal in a 2 x 12-inch + bonus 7-inch format. From local Dutch newcomers to '80s Japanese cult music, rare grooves to danceable house music, and rare Caribbean soul, this compilation is a portrait of music enthusiast Antal Heitlager’s enormous collection and 30-year DJ career, a work of art that can be enjoyed by all music fans!

An afro electronics track recommended by South African collector DJ Okapi, who co-produced the masterpiece compilation "Pantsula!: Rise Of Electronic Dance Music In South Africa: 1988-90" released in 2017, which brought Kwaito back onto the map. A-1 

Improvisation Organic Deep House track by New Zealand’s newcomer. A-2

A rare breezin' boogie by Larry Heard’s alias Trio Zero from 1989. Highly sought after by all collectors as a cult Balearic track. Previously unreleased version. B-1

Kuniyuki × Soichi Terada × Sauce81 / Let's Get Down EP

Label: Beyond Space And Time
Cat No: BEST003
Format: EP, Digital
Release Date: October 24th 2022

Track List
A1. Slowdown
A2. Get Up
B1. Let Us In

What began from as a performance at Japan's Rainbow Disco Club festival, now evolves into a full EP from Kuniyuki, Soichi Terada & Sauce 81.

Kuniyuki, a leading figure in the 21st-century electronic music scene, Soichi Terada, who returned from the dawn of the ‘90s Japanese house, and the multi-instrument player Sauce 81, who is the master of US-rooted disco production. A recording of an intense improvisation studio session of three talented Japanese musicians.

The LP kicks off with A-1 “Slowdown”, a dreamy black-eyed house track, with an authentic gospel-like chorus, bell synths, and ocean drums that sparkle throughout the track. Then moves into A-2 “Get Up”, A hypnotic leftfield tune, inspired by the 80's machine disco with diffused vocoder voices. It concludes with B-1 “Let Us In”, a laid-back fusion of cosmic synth in an old-school rhythm section.

Inspired by the authentic sounds from the ‘80s and ‘90s, Kuniyuki, Soichi Terada, and Sauce 81 bring you three future-oriented soulful improvisation jams to today!

Antal / Beyond Space And Time 002-2023

Label: Beyond Space And Time
Cat No: BEST002-2023
Format: EP
Release Date: October 23rd 2023

Track List
A1. GE-OLOGY - Pursuit Of The Journey
B1. Ascendant & Shannon Harris - Gyenyame (Only God) (Holistic Harmony Mix)

The second release of a compilation series "Beyond Space And Time 002" by Antal and Rainbow Disco Club.

Following the sensational and collectable first release in 2022, this hands on approach album contains powerful and soulful house music. These tracks were carefully selected by Antal and would place the central role of his set.

A-side features the vinyl premiere "Pursuit Of The Journey" by Baltimore’s mastermind GE-OLOGY. Deep house with beautifully vibrant beats, glossy voice sampling and synth melodies that takes you to the vivid journey. GE-OLOGY has been active in a wide range of fields from hip-hop to house since its early days. “Darkly active” is the exact word to express him. Without making a display of one's originality, he is showing the current state of the fresh US deep house.

A superb deep house with a mellow and raw Afro-futuristic rhythms played on actual machines "Gyenyame ("Only God")" is recorded with license on the B-side. This was released in 2006 from excellent label “Urbanicity” founded by Chicago producer Shannon Harris who is known for almost all of its work being featured on David Mancuso's Loft playlist.

As the first release was a collectible 2LP package of Rush Hour's taste from Japanese to rare groove, Caribbean, soul and left field, this EP "Beyond Space And Time 002" has changed pace from the first volume with a more focus on dance tracks with a deeper flavor with true value delivered from the dancefloor of the Rainbow Disco Club.

Beyond Space And Time is the new record label from Japanese music festival, Rainbow Disco Club (RDC). RDC has been welcoming music loving people to Japan for over a decade. Throughout the festival's history, RDC have been fortunate to constantly encounter performers and DJs who've collaborated with them in establishing a beautiful dance floor year in, year out. These relationships have lead RDC to start their own label, and now gives them the opportunity to reveal one of the best-kept secrets: What is in a DJ's record bag?

This time around, festival regular DJ Nobu kindly opens up his collection and shares the music he loves with us all. On visual duty we welcome Senekt - his representational yet contemporary drawing illustrates the emotion we feel from DJ Nobu.
We have much more music to come in future from artists that we trust and respect.
