Following last year’s much-acclaimed solo album “Mondo Alterado” (Hippie Dance 08), original pachanga boy and hippie dance mentor REBOLLEDO returns to the limelight with the jam-packed MONDO RE-ALTERADO (Hippie Dance 10), tapping into his vast and varied network of friends and fellow soundsmiths. Artists such as SUPERPITCHER, DJ TENNIS, MACEO PLEX, RED AXES, FANGO or FANTASTIC TWINS deliver stunning takes on Rebolledos’ unique signature sound, creating a full suite of exclusive remixes, cover versions and reinterpretations. 
From the super-energetic club rumblings of MACEO PLEX’s DISCÓTICO PLÉXICO to DJ TENNIS’ dreamy PIMIENTO DRIVE VERSION of A NUMB GAS TO THE FUTURE or FANTASTIC TWINS’ party bomb FANTASTIC POW POW, the journey through MONDO RE-ALTERADO is full of twists and turns – a world where an epic, cinematic soundscape such as SUPERPICHER’s RAINBOY SUPER SPACE sits comfortably alongside the claustrophobic, punishing banger that FANGO sculpted from stand-out cut “Pow Pow”. Meanwhile, RED AXES turn the casual narrative of “Life Is Strange, Life Is Hard, Life Is Great” into a bouncing workout – a great companion piece to WANT, DANNY DAZE and SHOKH’s propulsive, jagged dub version of “Fears Come True”. Other highlights include Jörg Burger aka THE BLACK FRAME with the lush BLACK RAINBOW WOMAN, PAULOR’s country rock extravaganza DISCÓTICO DESÉRTICO and not one, but two excellent contributions from former Italians Do It Better honcho MIKE SIMONETTI. It’s a magical, surprising ride that finds beauty in contrasts – while staying tuned to REBOLLEDO’s spirit of adventure and powerful sense of style.

2 How Much Are They? (Chicken Lips remix) - 7.47
3 How Much Are They? (Daniel Bortz remix) - 6.10

Munich's Benjamin Fröhlich, co-founder of the Permanent Vacation label, takes his turn on one of the most influential tracks in electronic music: "How Much Are They?"

Originally released in 1981 on the album “Full Circle”, "How Much Are They?" is a genre defying collaboration between Dub wizard Jah Wobble and Can's Jaki Liebezeit and Holger Czukay. With the combination of Dub elements, punk bassline and drum machine percussion the track is a blueprint for electronic music and ahead of its time in many ways. No surprise, it quickly became a staple in clubs from New York to Berlin.

Through the years the track was a big inspiration for Benjamin. His careful cover version updates "How much are They" for today's dancefloors, while maintaining the original atmosphere. Originally his version was part of LAGASTA's 10-year anniversary compilation. Now it gets the official release and finds the perfect home in Glasgow's Optimo Music imprint backed up with two remixes by Chicken Lips and Daniel Bortz. 

Andrew Meecham and  Dean Meredith revive their Chicken Lips moniker, that was responsible for a whole movement of Disco-Dub in the early to mid 2000's, and prove that they haven't lost any of the magic. German wonder boy Daniel Bortz reinvents himself and comes up with a heavy bass-driven version that sits somewhere between Jungle, Dub and early Techno. Ok, let's go!

Out on Optimo Music Digital Danceforce on February 19th
