From House To Disco has been serving up their own timeless take on house and disco for a decade. The Brazilian pair always manage to join the dots between the past, present and future with a great understanding of what moves a dance floor, which is why they have been selected for this superb retrospective of the Definitive catalogue. In that time, they have played all of Brazil's most cultured clubs and festivals from D-EDGE to Festa Selvagem as well as visiting parties from Time Warp, Piknic Electronik and Glitterbox and across Europe at places like ADE.
Known for their fine curatorial skills and endless research into dance music culture, their house and disco tunes are well-informed and authentic. They have appeared on labels such as Renato Cohen’s Massa Records, Get Physical sub-label COCADA Music, and climbed high in digital charts while also getting big support from the likes of Palms Trax, Job Jobse, and Jamie Jones.
They showcase their exceptional taste in this collection of classics from the cult Canadian label Definitive. It was founded by John Acquaviva, Richard Hawtin, and Karl Kowalski in 1992 as an embodiment of their vision for house music. "Not too hard, not too soft" was the mantra, and it built up a fine body of talented artists who made a real impact on the global underground and helped to foment a unique identity for the label. Though the label was acquired by Get Physical Music last year, it is still A&Red by John Acquaviva, and this compilation hones in on its still-fresh signature sound.
Opening up the collection is Blunted Dummies, aka Shawn Caesar and Ty James. Their 1993 gem 'House For All' was an immediate anthem and is a chunky deep house delight. Tropical Underworld, aka Jordan Fields's 1995 track 'Chasing Rainbows' was an under-the-radar masterpiece back then and will now make a real mark with its gritty underground sound and lo-fi house aesthetic. Barada's 'Black Magic' is a punchy tech house sound with a tribal edge and panel-beating percussive loops, and then comes John Acquaviva with secret weapon ‘U Ain't Really Disco' Mix of Dance Fever's 'A Woman In Love', a dubbed-out house swinger from 1992.
Jetstream was an alias of Karl E. Kowalski, and his potent deep house track 'Seriously' was the first-ever release on this label and also the only track he ever put out. Acquaviva then features again with his lithe and liquid dub tech cut 'Boomjak' which is lit up by soulful Detroit pads. Omega Man's 'Happy Organ' is another full-blooded house cut with retro-future basslines and erotic vocal coos all the way from 1994 then Wax Fruit's 'Be Yourself' (Ron Allen Dub Mix) is a brand new version of an all-time deep house classic that oozes finesse and luxurious synth-strings. Closing out this vital collection are the four superb From House To Disco remixes of Definitive tracks, which also come as a standalone vinyl 12".
