This week's show features a selection from the Brand New X Marks the Pedwalk recording "Superstition", a track from one of our favorite recordings of 2023, Termınal's brilliant, captivating and epic release, "The New Republic", brand new spacey, yet hard hitting techno music out of Detroit from Body Mechanic, and another spin for that great recent rhythmic minimal synth track with techno and Synthwave undertones from Diem Redux!

Recently I mentioned that I had a cassette tape from over 40 years ago when The Takahashi Band of 82 made a demo track for a potential TV commercial. The track was only worked on for a day or two and then abandoned. I think we all had a busy year and for whatever reason this recording was discarded.

I also talked about sharing the recording one day just for nostalgic reasons, however the mix was a very basic end-of-day progress mix and no vocal part was conceived. Sharing it in this form would not do the potential of the work any justice.

The track began with chords and synths that Yukihiro Takahashi recorded, the basic building blocks of his composition. I added the drum part. Having been intensively rehearsing and performing Takahashi material this triggered a distinct blend of my own style as might appear on tracks such as 'The Art of Parties' and Yukihiro's style on tracks such as 'Glass'. Haruomi Hosono added his brilliance on bass, as well as Masami Tsuchiya overlaying guitar parts and Hajime Tachibana adding a saxophone solo.

Fast forward over 40 years....
 
At the end of 2023 I sent the demo to singer/songwriter Marco Machera, someone I’ve collaborated with a few times in the past and whose vocal style I felt would compliment the music. Yukihiro also enjoyed Marco's music, including it on his own radio show. I asked Marco to consider adding a vocal which he was happy to do, also composing lyrics too.

I used an AI program to break down the stereo mix of the original cassette recording into individual tracks (this is a relatively new technology and although the quality struggled it allowed for a little bit more flexibility with the mixing and blending of new overdubs). The performed parts were retained, and to which I recorded some additional instrumentation as well as joining Marco on the chorus vocals. I made a new mix of the track. So what we have here is the finished piece: “Impossible Until It Happens”. 

Marco and I share this as an homage to Yukihiro who passed away this time last year and is greatly missed. We can feel the essence of Yukihiro's writing style in this track and we hope that you enjoy it.

Bordello A Parigi had the chance to dig up some unreleased Flemming Dalum gold from the now defunct Roller Disco Records archives. We present Serie d'Oro!

Roller Disco Records began in 2010 in the UK with a focus on releasing DJ mixes containing obscure and overlooked sub-genres of italo and European 80s. In Serie d'Oro, the mix archives are flung wide open with unreleased DJ mixes from Flemming Dalum. The first mix 'The Mad Scientist' is a concoction of experimental and obscure italo records from the laboratory of the King Of The Cut. Some of the records in this mix are from 1980 and sound advanced even today, 35 years later.

While there's plenty of love to be given when one person but together a great mix, there's three times as much adoration from us when you've got the dynamic trio of the Kate Boss team all coming together and pulling as one aural force then there's something pretty darn special in your ears. Their central London disco party has seen the likes of Friendly Fires, Justin Vandervolgen and Krystal Klear appear as special guests in the last few weeks so they must be doing something right. So we'll leave you in the more than capable hands of the Kate Boss team as they give you a delicious mix to chew on and we have a good chat with one third of their team; http://www.theransomnote.co.uk/music/mixes/kate-boss-the-ransom-note-mix/
