808 State ‘Pacific State’ (greg wilson electric chair edit)

130 bpm

Never previously shared.

Madchester anthem from 1989, which, along with ‘WFL’ by the Happy Mondays, ‘Voodoo Ray’ by A Guy Called Gerald and ‘Fools Gold’ by the Stone Roses, encapsulates the time when the rainy city was at the epicentre of the dance universe.

Twenty years later I included it as the closing track on my Essential Mix (http://soundcloud.com/gregwilson/essential-mix-greg-wilson-mix-for-bbc-radio-1), and, as with the opening track, the Dimitri From Paris edit of ‘Down To Love Town’ by The Originals, it features Jesse Jackson’s invocation from the 1972 Wattstax festival (which had previously been used to such great effect by Andrew Weatherall in his remix of ‘Come Together’ by Primal Scream).

However, I originally put this together not for the Essential Mix, but to open my appearance at the Electric Chair Last Supper on December 29th 2007. A number of previous guests had been invited to play for half an hour each, as the decision had been made to close this Manchester institution whilst it was still at the height of its popularity. As things worked out, I was the final guest to deejay at this cherished club night - only the residents played after me. I wanted to pay my respects in a proper manner, evoking the spirit of Manchester past, back through the halcyon late 80’s days of The Haçienda to my own time there in ’83, and at Legend beforehand, via a handful of track selections that reflected the spirit of this great music city, for which the Electric Chair, soon to be no more, had written a further chapter.

The purpose of this edit was purely to extend the intro of the ‘Pacific 707’ version to suitably build into Jesse Jackson's poignant words before the beats kick in, whilst adding some subtle ambience to add to the overall atmospheric of this wonderful track, which always struck me as a ‘Stranger On The Shore’ for the Rave generation (the evocative 1961 single by clarinettist Acker Bilk, the first British recording to reach #1 in the USA).

808 State 'Pacific State' (greg wilson electric chair edit)

• 𝗣𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘆 ─ Reflect and Resist [VOSTRA009] | 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝗮 𝗩𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮 •

Premiere Track → A2. The Phazon Effect (ft. 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘁)

𝘴𝘉 𝘙𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘦𝘸___For their ninth release, 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝗮 𝗩𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮 continues its rise through the French underground with a record that fuses emotion and intensity in equal measure. 𝗣𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘆’s debut EP "Reflect and Resist" shows a sharp ear for sound design and atmosphere, balancing raw power with emotional depth. 

His collaboration with 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘁 on “The Phazon Effect” stands out to us as and hits like a blast. Pagenty’s sense of tension keeps the pulse tight while Disset’s hardware touch amplifies the impact and adds physicality. The track expands through layers of metallic synths and feels like a high voltage that carries emotion beneath the distortion, defining both artists’ sound and the label’s unconventional identity. The result has a sense of live chaos, powerful and rich in detail for those who listen closely.
