Its catalogue is as vast as it is varied and foreshadowing the music he'd go on to make himself under Headman/Manhead.  Whilst also was busy remixing the likes of Roxy Music, The Gossip, Franz Ferdinand, The Units, Unknown Cases, Gina X and many more. Relish has also been busy releasing international talents and remixes such as Daniel Avery, Red Axes, Borusiade, Manfredas.

We're long term fans both of his own original works, the label's out put and his edits, We selected this one from his back catalogue to share with you....from 1983, a track that really went under the radar from the Belle Stars.

In his own words...
'I have done this edit in 2016. It is taken from A Relish Edit Sampler album that was just released exclusive via Bandcamp.
The reason why I like this track is, first it’s from an all girl band from the early 80’s. It has that post punk funk vibe about it, that I always liked in dance music.'

Roma based dj/producer  A-Tweed (@antakaatweed) delivers an odd disco edit from "Skypass" track included in "Discomusic" LP (1978) by Italian soundtrack legend Maestro Piero Umiliani. 

A-Tweed is the moniker of Ant De Oto, Italian dj/producer based in Rome. His music is an essential smoothie of acid weird downbeats, dark electronics, afrofuturism, EBM, cosmic disco, global bass, tribal techno and goodies of world music at 360 °. In his DJ sets, A-Tweed tells stories about Black Africa, the alleys of New Orleans or Marrakech and the endless paths that lead from the noisy Glasgow factories to Buenos Aires and the Colombian Pacific and the streets of Phnom Penh and among the taiko players in Japan.

His latest EPs have been released on the French label  Hard Fist and on the Argentine Playground Records, with remixes by Dengue Dengue Dengue and Fabrizio Mammarella, among others. He is resident with his "Coal & Ash Circuit" show on Radio Alhara (Bethlehem, Palestine).

@AndreaTempo is an Italian Dj and Producer, and a member of independent label @Slow-Motion-Records. Drawing his influences from NY's Dance Punk scene of the early 80's, Andrea got his start playing Alt Rock with a few of his hometown's local bands. He fell in love with electronic music thanks to Nu Rave and Electro from the noughties and 80's Italian Dance Productions. 

In his own words...

"Launderette" was born as an improvisation on a bass line by a member of the English reggae group (Aswald) and recorded in his home in Lancaster Road, where Joe Strummer (Clash) also lived. I was immediately struck by his Reggae, Post Punk and Dub vibes. I made it more psychedelic and dub, to play at the end of the show or perhaps inside the Lancaster Road house where Joe Strammer also lived.

In the words of the artist....

'One day I found a 1996 Nadanuf 12" record. Released by Reprise Records which is an American record label founded in 1960 by Frank Sinatra.

On this record, amongst others, there was a version of The Breaks (A Cappella Edit) featuring the legendary Curtis Blow. So dream and turn on the imagination, that I'm recording a new hit in the studio with Curtis Blow. Haha It's inspiring.

Feel free to experiment with this new dish...

Toronto based @Dacou serves up the latest instalment in the Sinchi Edits series.

Words from the man himself...

'Kenedougou Foly' is a song kindred to its composer, Neba Solo - both are rooted in the historical and cultural legacy of Mali and Western Africa. Hailing from the Kenedougou region of southeastern Mali, Solo and the balafon (modified xylophone) masterclass he provides on the title track of his debut album are a fitting tribute to his homeland, the historic Kenedougou Kingdom of the Traorè dynasty.

The song begins with an invocation or call to attention "Ayeh Na”, as Neba Solo begins to provide commentary on the socio-economic issues faced by the people of Kenedougou. The song also speaks about the environmental degradation of the land and acknowledges the struggles faced by its people, while calling for collective action from the world to address these issues facing Western Africa.

I chose this particular song because I’ve always appreciated the sound and emotional response of West African music, Mali in particular. From Oumou Sangare and Fatoumata Diawara to the Tuareg sounds of Bombino and Tinariwen, Malian sounds resonate worlds over despite people not immediately understanding the words being spoken. Kenedougou Foly is such a track that just elicits a heartfelt feeling, stemming from Neba Solo’s infectious vocals, a call and response from backup vocalists, as well as his prodigious bafalon playing that is at the core of his genius.

My approach was quite simple. As folk songs of this archetype are usually bereft of electronic or Western dance elements, I added what I felt was necessary to provide a high-energy and hard-hitting version to be played out and played loud. Starting and ending with Neba Solo’s call for attention seemed fitting, sandwiched between Italo-style arp bass, some 303 acid sounds, and a 4/4 beat to tie everything together.

Our latest addition to the edit series comes from Russia duo @RadialGaze.  These dudes have been making serious waves in the last 12 months, with debut releases on Eskimo, Calypso and Hard Fist amongst others. Then not to mention a killer EP coming very soon on Paradise Children (With remixes from Tim Paris , Tolouse Low Trax, La Mverte and Hanzo & Yaman).  

The track in question is "Im Nin'alu" (If the door's shut) - A Hebrew poem by 17th-century Rabbi Shalom Shabazi. It has been placed to music and sung by Israeli singer Ofra Haza originally in 1978. She went on to become famous in Europe with the song in 1987, when a remixed version of the song, produced by Izhar Ashdot, reached the Top 10 in different countries. Even though Haza's version of the song shows her own interpretation, and its reception was present-day and popular, it still fits in with the Yemenite tradition that she represented. 

Lyrics 'If the doors of the righteous will shut. The Doors of Heaven will still be open'.

Next up in the Sinchi edit series comes our long-time friend @Pedro-Martins-Music . The Portuguese artist is a connoisseur, crate digger and the founder of Karakter Records, an international label and cult dedicated to the hypnotic, rhythmic and intense alternative music.

We think you’ll recognise this one! Releasing back in 1985, it’s a stone cold classic and was written by co-founder Roland Orzabel. Many people assume its about primal therapy treatment but that is not the case…

Orzabel ‘It came out when a lot of people were still worried about the aftermath of The Cold War and it was basically an encouragement to protest."

Whilst co-founder Curt Smith added ‘ "It concerns protest in as much as it encourages people not to do things without actually questioning them. People act without thinking because that's just the way things go in society. So it's a general song, about the way the public accepts any old grief which is thrown at them."

So as it was in 1985, so it is today. Political or not, enjoy this fantastic 2020 rework.

'Pili Pili' is the legendary band of Jasper van´t Hof from the 80s / 90s.  

In 1984 he presented the  project, which is still successful today, in which European jazz is combined with African music and danceable grooves. The title track of the first LP, a 15-minute trance production with African drums, made him famous overnight on the dance floor of the club scene. Singer Angelique Kidjo was discovered and Pili Pili played in changing line-ups in Europe for 20 years. In 1998 the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung wrote: “The Afro Beat by Pili Pili is more than just a fashionable exotic colour. Its originality is combined with instrumental virtuosity that is unique to jazz. Pili Pili houses rock and funk under one roof. ” 'Dance Jazz Live' is the title of one of the Pili Pili CDs and still the group's motto."  (taken from Afro-Jazz-Fusion State Jazz 2018 Press release)

In the words of @JepeJustJohn ...

'I got in touch with Pili Pili on a tour to Innsbruck and then North of Italy, Bolzano in 2010.  It was on the radio randomly playing in the car whilst we were driving. I managed to get the name and fell in love with the whole album. I have to be honest that i never have heard about them before. I felt like i was crate digging in a record shop when I discovered that pearl. In my version, I wanted to play it a bit faster and with a more powerful beat, so decided to make an edit. It took me some weeks until i was happy with the result without killing the vibe and the structure of the awesome original. Somehow, I sometimes think that editing some great tracks is a sort of "sacrilege" with art... Nevertheless... this was the result:)'

Well we loved it and hope you do too. If you want to get your hands on the original you can do so here - https://www.discogs.com/Jasper-Van-t-Hofs-Pili-Pili-Hoomba-Hoomba/release/2759074
