Vinyl early November 2022. ★ ALFI KABILJO - YU AEROBIC (Original Workout Music from Yugoslavia 1981-1984) ★ Unreleased instrumental versions from the original master tapes. ★ Vinyl Gatefold LP ★ Liner Notes ★ Limited Edition

★ The phenomena of exercise tapes and albums started officially in Yugoslavia in 1983, Jane Fonda’s book was heavily promoted and published in local edition. Famous actress Milena Dravić released Aerobika Sa Milenom Dravić cassette for RTV Ljubljana and Sarajevo choreographer Gordana Magaš released Aerobik Ples: Pokrenimo se malo!. They were classical instructional tapes with voice-over and international disco or chart hits in the playlist . 

★ But Vesna Mimica, who perfected her art with Sylvie Vartan in Paris and Alfi Kabiljo, famous  composer, had more original and serious take on fitness albums in the same year. Cassettes YU Aerobic Br.1 and YU Aerobic Br.2 were released as a series and much more importantly, they did not use international cover songs, but conceptual and original music, intentionally made for fitness and aerobics.

★ For the first time ever, Fox & His Friends Records are releasing original, restored and unpublished instrumental master tapes from the Aerobic sessions, used for the production of Mimica cassettes. The rise of library music appreciation in recent years shows that we are right and more and more hidden gems are being re-discovered and re-evaluated. Such are the selections from the surviving studio masters from the vivid and sporty socialist aerobics era, which we chose to present in their original form without the instructional dubbing and voice-over. 

★ That does not mean we do not like Vesna Mimica’s sporty fitness lines (we do!), but in this completely different instrumental form, which was never released and aired publicly, Alfi Kabiljo’s precise jazz and disco mixture of melodies and beats turns out to be still fresh and dance friendly. You can enjoy this rare treat even more and be your own Vesna Mimica while exercising to it. So, just work it left, right, left, right, left, right and do not forget to breeeathe...!   

★ Composed, Arranged and Conducted by Alfi Kabiljo. Musicians: Ozren Depolo (Alto Saxophone, Flute), Mladen Baraković (Bass Guitar), Salih Sadiković (Drums), Vedran Božić (Electric Guitar), Srđan Dedić (Synthesizer), Alfi Kabiljo (Keyboards, Bells, Percussion), Marijan Domić (Trumpet, Flugelhorn).

★ In the golden era of pop music in Yugoslavia, Split had a special place. The Adriatic Sea, nearing Italian radio stations and the famous San Remo music festival that influenced almost everything, from fashion, lifestyle to music.  It's local counterpart was The Split Pop Music Festival since the 1960s, international at first and lasting even till now. Our hero was in the organizational leadership at the end of the 1990s and attracted much public disapproval while selecting the tunes for the competition: he resolutely refused to include what he considered old-fashion songs. Nenad Vilović fiercely wanted the Split Festival and music scene to modernize, in order to appeal to the younger audiences and to reach the charts and dance-floors. As the sound of the time regarding his requirements was predominately electronic, the ‘traditionalists’ hated him ★ It was not the first time Nenad (often under the names ST or Nenad Vilović & Grupa ST) clashed with the keepers of tradition. Long before he managed Split Festival, many of his songs and productions won the awards of the popular vote and became high-selling singles. However, critics smashed his efforts, calling him a commercial sell-out and even the local term was forged especially for him: ‘čekićanje’ and ‘kovačija’, meaning ‘hammering’ and ‘blacksmithing’ of the songs that introduced 4/4 beat. It was Vilović’s love of dance culture and disco, catchy melodies and fun lyrics that his opponents and critics took as a final proof that this guy is making empty and shallow pop music ★ Nenad Vilović has enjoyed quite of success; produced, composed and arranged for numerous artists and himself as well; been in several groups starting the legendary Mladi Batali and released singles and LPs for some of the largest companies in Yugoslavia: Jugoton, PGP RTB and Diskoton. But, as he jokingly said when Leri Ahel and I first met him in his studio: I was all ‘kovačija’, they said! Then he played us the main theme of an album that was shelved for a staggering 37 years, luscious and layered synth-prog piece called “Introduction to The Prism”. Amazing! The tape was played once in the 80s to a local music critic who said “oh, you CAN make quality music!”, but it was still rejected by a major labels for being “too experimental” ★ The studio master is here presented in its entirety; no track was replaced or changed its side or order. This is how it was imagined to be released in 1985, when Nenad Vilović played all instruments, produced, composed, arranged, recorded and even sang on the whole thing ★ Composed, arranged, produced, recorded & all instruments played by Nenad Vilović. Recorded in 1985 at Vilović Studio (NV), Split, Yugoslavia (Croatia). Vocals by Nenad Vilović. 
★ Real time recording and mixing via 24-track 3M M79 reel-to-reel. No computers and no sequencers were used. ★ Instruments: Violin, Viola, Keyboards (Yamaha Piano, Fender Rhodes Piano, Prophet 2000, Crumar Performer, Ace Tone Canary Organ, Korg CX-3, Polymoog, ARP Omni-2), Effects (Eventide Harmonizer H949, Iskra Signal Generator MA3731), Guitars (Acoustic, Les Paul Gibson, Ovation Matrix, Fender Jaguar, Klira), Clarinet, Soprano Sax, Tenor Sax, Baritone Sax, Ocarina, Drums (Ludwig, Sonor), Fender Bass Guitar, Gibson L9-S Ripper, Gibson SG, Claves, Remo Rototom, Tambourine, Mandola, Triangle, Bells, Conga, Castanets, Shakers. ★ Executive Producers, Creative Direction and A&R: Leri Ahel & Željko Luketić Liner Notes : Željko Luketić Artwork : Eric Adrian Lee Audio Mastering : Antony Ryan (RedRedPaw Mastering) DMM Cut : Pauler Acoustics Rights

★ Standard Edition

★ Professor Balthazar is a Croatian / Yugoslav animated series filmed from 1967 to 1978 in Zagreb. The series consists of 59 standalone episodes lasting five to ten minutes, divided into 4 seasons. It was a huge international success: from large fan base in Scandinavia to broadcasting on USA television and countries like Germany, Itally, France and even Iran. It's still aired on various TV programs and video platforms. ★
★ Animation style and content is widely praised for being one of the rare cartoons that does not feature any kind of violence or aggression. The character of Professor Balthazar solves problems in a peaceful way. He uses his inventions and science to help his friends. Distinctive visual influence is a crossover of bright, psychedelic colors, weird shapes and naive art, typical for Zagreb School of Animated Film. ★

★ This soundtrack is mastered from original tapes, composed and conducted by Tomislav Simovic. The music is busy, playful and mixes influences of jazz, classical and even electronica. Fox & His Friends Records, also the curators of the largest ever multimedia exhibition on Professor Balthazar series in Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rijeka as a part of the European Capital of Culture program in 2020, chose for music themes and recordings on this album to be untouched and unaltered. The masters from the 1960's aged well, but sign of the time is present and recording techniques are varied. ★

★ This album cut includes longer rare version of main credits, made exclusively for Zagrebfilmijada, an event of public screenings of Professor Balthazar and other cartoons in cinemas in 1970s Yugoslavia. ★

★ PROFESSOR BALTHAZAR (MUSIC FROM THE ORIGINAL TV SERIES) Composed, arranged and conducted by Tomislav Simovic. Performed by studio orchestra at Jadran film, Zagreb (1968-1977) and Tomica Simovic Orchestra (tracks a1 and a6).★

 Tomislav Simović - The Zagreb School of Animated Film (Original Soundtracks 1961-1982) Compiled by Leri Ahel and Željko Luketić. Master tapes were considered lost; now found and restored for this epic 2xLP release celebrating Yugoslavia's animated art shorts, including Oscar winning "Ersatz" by Dušan Vukotić.

★ From the Original Master Tapes
★ 2 x LP Vinyl Gatefold LP
★ Extensive Liner Notes

★ Exclusive Cover Artwork by Dejan Krsic / NEP

★ A collection of unreleased themes and scores from 18 short animated films from the world famous Zagreb School Of Animated Film . Includes Oscar winning short cartoon Ersatz / Surogat by Dusan Vukotic (1961) and many other jazz, electronica and experimental scores by composer Tomislav Simovic .

★ Coined by the famed film theorist Georges Sadoul at the 1959 Cannes Festival , The Zagreb School of Animated Film(s) or The Zagreb School of Animation, was defined as an artistic and philosophical world-view that set its mark on the history of animation in the 60s and 70s. The key feature of the Zagreb School (not educational facility in any kind), was commitment to stylization in contrast with the Disney-style canon of realistic animation.

★ Among many composers that worked in Zagreb Film productions, the name of Tomislav Simović (1931 – 2014) stands out. In his oeuvre of 300+ film scores (not counting compositions and arrangements for pop singers and jazz orchestras), many were made exclusively for Zagreb film documentaries, fiction shorts, features and animation. Simovic was particularly adept at writing music for cartoons. He skilfully synchronized movement and sound and mixed different musical genres, although, like his peers at the time, he leaned towards jazz.

★ Composed, arranged and conducted by Tomislav Simović . Performed by studio orchestra at Dubrava film (1961-1962) and Jadran film, Zagreb (1962-1982). Additional musicians: Milivoj Majdak (Acoustic Guitar), Josip Stojanović (Cello), Ozren Depolo (Clarinet, Saxophone, Voice), Rajko Milosavljević (Double Bass), Boris Benini (Drums, Percussion), Silvije Glojnarić (Drums), Stanko Selak (Flugelhorn, Trumpet), Miroslav Sedak Benčić (Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone), Marijan Domić (Trumpet), Prerad Detiček (Horn), Fred Došek (Piano, Electric Piano), Zlatko Tanodi (Synthesizer), Igor Savin (Synthesizer), Radmilo Maslovarić (Trombone), Ante Živković (Viola), Ivan Kuzmić (Violin), Božidar Alić (Voice on D3).

This is a collection of music for the various films and theatre plays by Mirko Krstičević, Croatian and Yugoslavian composer and musician active since 1970s. "All and Nothing at All (Film and Theatre Music 1978 - 1988)" ["Sve i ništa (Filmska i scenska glazba 1978. - 1988." in Croatian] focuses on his work for the underground and avant-garde cinema from the era: directors Ivan Martinac, Svemir Pavić, Lordan Zafranović, Aleksandar F. Stasenko and Vanča Kljaković are all part of the Split Cinema Club association; their work explores art, death, sexuality and eroticism. 
Pavić's portrait of surrealist painter Ljuba Popović, made in the same year as its counterpart by Walerian Borowczyk, features scenes form Beaubourg Gallery in Paris and Udo Kier as a guest. Side B of the record is all about theatre: plays by Sam Shepard, Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Jean Giraudoux were all produced in Sarajevo and Split in the 1980s, with the rare electronic takes by Mirko Krstičević and his subtle minimalist soundings of the themes from the Cold War era. This unique and diverse compositions by founder of the rock band Metak and sound studio Tetrapak from Split, are document of the time that is, especially in the closing Chernobyl theme, relevant again.
Composer, musician and musical arranger Mirko Krstičević was born in 1948 in Šibenik. He graduated in music theory at the Pedagogical Academy in Split and then at the Music Academy in Sarajevo. He studied composition with Josip Magdić, Mladen Pozajić and Miroslav Špiler. He is the co-founder of the Tetrapak music studio in Split, where numerous performers and musicians have recorded (Animatori, D'Boys, Haustor, Oliver Mandić, Gibonni, Srđan Marjanović, Stil, Trotakt Projekt and others). 
Together with Ranko Boban and Momčilo Popadić, he founded the Metak group in the spring of 1978 in Prigradica on Korčula. In the group, he is the author of songs and lyrics, and he also plays the bass guitar. "Da mi je biti morski pas" is the group's most successful single, which in 1980 became one of the most played songs on radio and television. Metak performed in Belgrade in front of 70,000 people, and the media declared them the best group along with Macedonian Leb i sol. In compositional work and arrangements for other pop and rock artists, Krstičevic had high commercial success with Tutti Frutti Balkan Band, Biljana Petrović, Seid Memić Vajta, Pepel in kri, Osmi putnik, Oliver Dragojević , Đorđi Peruzović, Henda and others.
Parallel to his pop and rock career, Krstičević composed stage and film music for 45 films, mostly collaborating with the circle of experimental and amateur directors of the Split Cinema Club (Kino klub Split) as well as the rest of the local underground scene. He is the author of stage music for 130 theatre plays, and also records his own compositions in the field of contemporary music. He wrote over 30 works for solo instruments, chamber and symphonic music. He is the winner of numerous awards, lives and works in Split.

FOX001LP / Glazba iz prvog hrvatskog i jugoslavenskog znanstveno-fantastičnog filma Gosti iz galaksije (1981.) / Skladatelj Tomislav Simović / Prvi YU elektronski soundtrack

Ovaj rijetki komad socijalističke filmske elektronike smatrao se izgubljenim. Skladao ga je Tomislav Simović, vjerni glazbeni pratitelj Zagrebačke škole animiranog filma i to za ekstravagantnu SF zgodu Dušana Vukotića iz 1981. godine. Gosti iz galaksije kultni su naslov domaćeg filma kojega je proslavilo opako čudovište Jana Švankmajera i prelijepa svemirska došljakinja Andra koju glumi Ksenija Prohaska. Ekipa etikete Fox & His Friends pronašla je taj soundtrack i sada ga objavljuje na ekskluzivnom vinilnom izdanju na audiofilskih 180g, s kolor umetcima i posterom, dvostrukim rasklopom i posebnim tekstovima uglednih filmologa. Originalne snimke restaurirao je Paul Alexander iz Cedar Audio Ltd. i masterirao Miroslav Piškulić. Dizajn potpisuje Ivan Antunović aka Nieuw NDG.

Izdavačku kuću Fox & His Friends vode Leri Ahel (Mutant Disco Radio Show) i Željko Luketić (Electronic Jugoton, Ex Yu Electronica III, Borderline Music). U fokusu je glazba koja nema žanrovskih granica, koja je zaboravljena, podcijenjena i/ili rijetka. Zvuci koje Fox & His Friends objavljuje su bez vremenske kategorije, nisu prolazna moda nego trajna glazbena i kulturna vrijednost.

NEP was a loose multimedia collective formed in 1982 Zagreb, ex-Yugoslavia. The founder Dejan Krsic collaborated with various artists in a quest of re-thinking the stale concepts of art history, position of the author and the barriers between pop and elitist high culture. Heavily influenced by Walter Benjamin and Andy Warhol in theory and Brian Eno and Kraftwerk in music, Krsic created NEP as an umbrella term (meaning Nova Evropa) of diverse rule-breaking activities, covering graphic design, music, photography, video, news-media and theoretical work. Musically NEP focused on experiments in ambient and tape-music, mostly self-released or hard to find compilations like “The Cassette Played Poptones” (1988). Deeply immersed in pop-culture, politics and art theory Krsic’s search for perfect pop music with cutting critical edge peaked in 1989, the year Decadance track was conceived in studio, but has never been published.

Pumping Roland 808 beats, with sampled vocals from Linda Cooper asking herself “How do I dance to this music?” were chosen by Fox & His Friends label owners Leri Ahel and Zeljko Luketic for a 12” opener of the unknown NEP’s pop history. This single is a sneak-peak into the world of POP NOT POP, the album and a graphic book merged into one multimedia entity, to be released later this year. All material is restored and mastered from original reel-to-reel tapes and presented on wax for the first time and for this occasion, deconstructed and reinvented in a remix B-side by Snuffo, masked hero of the Snuff Crew fame. Snuffo split the title vocal into a new cut-up, now telling “Dance to this music” to its audiences. And indeed, NEP’s Decadance is meant to be danced to, either side you choose to play. NEP on this 1989 track was led by Dejan Krsic, now famous graphic designer and art historian in Croatia, but other collaborators include Laibach and Borghesia photographer Jane Stravs, artist and TV director Gordana Brzovic, Jovan Culibrk, now Bishop at The Serbian Orthodox Church and Anja Rupel, singer of cult Yugoslavian synth-pop group Videosex.

Fox & His Friends previously released highly acclaimed soundtrack “Visitors From The Galaxy” by Tomislav Simovic. This was first electronic score in Yugoslavia, made for the first and only Yugoslavian science-fiction feature film. 

NEP Decadance 12” will be pressed in limited edition of 500, with first 100 copies coming with special comic book insert starring Snuffo and NEP heroine, illustrated by Marvel collaborator Miroslav Mrva. Numbered 100 copies with comic book insert will be only available at label shops foxandhisfriends.bigcartel.com and foxandhisfriends.bandcamp.com.

Disco, a vital Trojan horse (in local notion: a pop music you can dance to), stayed quite a long time In Yugoslavia, refusing to be silenced and refusing to jump into the bandwagon of expected. It was influenced by American and European disco sound, for example, by the Boney M, Amanda Lear or Love Machine, who all visited Yugoslavia and had live concerts. The producers and the big record companies like Jugoton, PGP RTB, Diskoton or ZKP RTVL, noted the hype in music and they constantly probed the market with limited run of seven inchers or special performances. Some artists were quite successful. We had our version of John Travolta (Zdravko Čolić), we had Boney M in Mirzino jato and other musicians that climbed the charts, but the rest were in the single empire which was free enough to experiment with all things disco had to offer – genre hybrids, use of electronics, sexual innuendo, bizarre lyrics and most importantly, great musicians and major composers having fun. The no-restrictions policy of disco was there to evade the rules and surely it did. (extract from the Liner Notes)

Estimated release date October 5th.

NEP was a loose multimedia collective formed in 1982 Zagreb, ex-Yugoslavia. The founder Dejan Krsic collaborated with various artists in a quest of re-thinking the stale concepts of art history, position of the author and the barriers between pop and elitist high culture. Heavily influenced by Walter Benjamin and Andy Warhol in theory and Brian Eno and Kraftwerk in music, Krsic created NEP as an umbrella term (meaning Nova Evropa or New Europe) of diverse rule-breaking activities, covering graphic design, music, photography, video, news-media and theoretical work. 

Musically NEP focused on experiments in ambient and tape-music, self-released and hard to find compilation tapes like “The Cassette Played Poptones” (1988). Deeply immersed in pop-culture, politics and art theory Krsic’s search for perfect pop music with cutting critical edge peaked in 1989, the year 'Decadance' track was conceived in studio. Fox & His Friends published the single in 2017 with Snuffo Remix on B-side. It received rave reviews in music press like MixMag and DJ Mag and it is still played on dance-floors around the world. But the story around the NEP is musically (as well as artistically) much wider: for the first time Fox & His Friends team compiles best cuts from unreleased and rare NEP tapes, covering the period from 1985 to 1989 on POP NOT POP abum. 

Dejan Krsic is now famous graphic designer and art historian in Croatia. Other collaborators include Laibach and Borghesia photographer Jane Stravs, artist and TV director Gordana Brzovic, Jovan Culibrk, now Bishop at The Serbian Orthodox Church and Anja Rupel, singer of cult Yugoslavian synth-pop group Videosex as well as the other members of Videosex, Iztok Turk and Janez Krizaj who produced some of the tracks. Other collaborators were talented producers Robert Logozar and Davor Daga Devcic, singers Linda Cooper, Natalija, Alexx Kovacs... The list of collaborations is long. 

Some of the memorable moments on POP NOT POP album are early demo version of Decadance 'How Do I Dance To This Music?' with blue movies samples and drum machine experiments like early Cabaret Voltaire, then Krsic's reinterpretation of legendary Trans Europe Express anthem as 'Transcendance', or 'Radical Chic', where Dejan himself and Anja Rupel from Videosex make lovely couple of dandy-esque fashionistas, singing chart-friendly radio synthpop tune that contrasts the A-side (The 'NOT POP' side) - full of experiments, dark wave and industrial nods to Test Department and Cabs. B-side is 'THE POP' side that will surprise most of the NEP followers from their early experimental cassette days. Sunny, danceable, joyfull pop that reveals the many faces of NEP. 

As Kraftwerk today is more of a concept than a band, NEP does the same by re-writing its products (musical, graphical, theoretical, activist) and constantly puts them in permanent state of change or re-mix. In the future, only NEP logo will be enough to consider something an art piece, and NEP will be everybody who wants to, as their Art Manifest claims. Until that day comes, ‘POP NOT POP’ is a document of how the vivid and creative were art-scenes in socialist Yugoslavia. Some of the graphic work, cut-ups from theory and Manifesto are also included on this LP, designed by Dejan Krsic aka NEP himself. This release is made from the original master tapes and published for the first time on vinyl.

NEP - Pop Not Pop (FOX005LP) preview

The Master Scratch Band was first break-dance / hip-hop / electro funk band in Yugoslavia released and signed by major label in 1984. The band members were Zoran Vračević, Zoran Jevtić and Milutin Stoisiljević, previously known as Data (Goran Marinković, Zoran Jevtić, Zoran Vračević) and Šizike (Goran Marinković, Jasmina Branković, Jasna Dimitrijević, Ljiljana Dimitrijević, Milutin Stoisiljević, Zoran Jevtić, Zoran Vračević). 

Jugoton, the biggest label in Yugoslavia, published Data 7'' and MSB's 'Dégout' 12'' with limited edition cassette containing two bonus tracks. Impossible to find on the collectors market, Fox & His Friends team in collaboration with Jugoton / Croatia Records is releasing a full, complete version of the rare "The Breakwar" tape, with tracks "Tonight" and "Pocket" never pressed on vinyl. All tracks are sourced from original studio tapes. With the kind help of Zoran Vračević on credit list and liner notes, this is now the ultimate Master Scratch Band album, released originally in a year when break-dance was in the peak of its popularity in Yugoslavia. 

While Data was synthpop, Šizike mellow synth-disco recorded in private studio, this release is pure breaks and hip-hop electro, done old-school way in one of the best studios in Yugoslavia, Enco Lesic's Druga maca in Belgrade. MSB used impressive electronic gear and were helped by huge list of famous musicians and guests: Duca Markovic from hit-show 'Hit meseca' (Yugoslavian Top Of The Pops); Japanac on bass, Max Vincent on synths, Dudu Vudu from Du-Du-A, Goranka Matic as photographer and many more. MSB sampling technique and choices are unique: from obscure industrial records to freestyle; from found-sounds to cut-up breaks and even real prank-calls. 

This is document of time that still sounds fresh and needs to find it's new, young audience of hip-hop history researchers, break-dancers, b-boys, b-girls and DJ's. When you know that it's produced in 1984 Yugoslavia, far away, but actually, so close to its USA brothers and sisters, it's even more mind-boggling. Thanks to Fox & His Friends and Jugoton CR collaboration, this gem is waiting for your freezes, footwork and electric boogie moves.

FOX001LP / Socialist science-fiction classic Visitors from the Galaxy aka Gosti iz galaksije / Soundtrack by Tomislav Simovic / First ever electronic score from ex-Yugoslavia / From original master tapes

This rare piece of ex-yu socialist electronica was considered lost. Composed by famed Croatian artist Tomislav Simovic for the Dusan Vukotic's 1981 sci-fi extravaganza Visitors from the Galaxy aka Gosti iz galaksije which included men with breasts, beautiful alien heroine and Jan Svankmajer monster on killing spree, it is now found and published by Fox & His Friends label team. This gatefold limited LP release on 180g vinyl includes soundtrack cut from the original master tapes restored by Paul Alexander from Cedar Audio Ltd., extensive liner notes in English by Zeljko Luketic and Irena Paulus, new artwork insert spread with film set photographs and colour poster starring alien heroine Andra. Design by Ivan Antunovic aka Nieuw NDG. Mastered by Miroslav Piskulic.

FOX001LP / Glazba iz prvog hrvatskog i jugoslavenskog znanstveno-fantastičnog filma Gosti iz galaksije (1981.) / Skladatelj Tomislav Simović / Prvi YU elektronski soundtrack

Ovaj rijetki komad socijalističke filmske elektronike smatrao se izgubljenim. Skladao ga je Tomislav Simović, vjerni glazbeni pratitelj Zagrebačke škole animiranog filma i to za ekstravagantnu SF zgodu Dušana Vukotića iz 1981. godine. Gosti iz galaksije kultni su naslov domaćeg filma kojega je proslavilo opako čudovište Jana Švankmajera i prelijepa svemirska došljakinja Andra koju glumi Ksenija Prohaska. Ekipa etikete Fox & His Friends pronašla je taj soundtrack i sada ga objavljuje na ekskluzivnom vinilnom izdanju na audiofilskih 180g, s kolor umetcima i posterom, dvostrukim rasklopom i posebnim tekstovima uglednih filmologa. Originalne snimke restaurirao je Paul Alexander iz Cedar Audio Ltd. i masterirao Miroslav Piškulić. Dizajn potpisuje Ivan Antunović aka Nieuw NDG.

Izdavačku kuću Fox & His Friends vode Leri Ahel (Mutant Disco Radio Show) i Željko Luketić (Electronic Jugoton, Ex Yu Electronica III, Borderline Music). U fokusu je glazba koja nema žanrovskih granica, koja je zaboravljena, podcijenjena i/ili rijetka. Zvuci koje Fox & His Friends objavljuje su bez vremenske kategorije, nisu prolazna moda nego trajna glazbena i kulturna vrijednost.

The band members were Zoran Vračević, Zoran Jevtić and Milutin Stoisiljević, previously known as Data (Goran Marinković, Zoran Jevtić, Zoran Vračević) and Šizike (Goran Marinković, Jasmina Branković, Jasna Dimitrijević, Ljiljana Dimitrijević, Milutin Stoisiljević, Zoran Jevtić, Zoran Vračević).

Jugoton, the biggest label in Yugoslavia, published Data 7'' and MSB's 'Dégout' 12'' with limited edition cassette containing two bonus tracks. Impossible to find on the collectors market, Fox & His Friends team in collaboration with Jugoton / Croatia Records is releasing a full, complete version of the rare "The Breakwar" tape, with tracks "Tonight" and "Pocket" never pressed on vinyl. All tracks are sourced from original studio tapes. With the kind help of Zoran Vračević on credit list and liner notes, this is now the ultimate Master Scratch Band album, released originally in a year when break-dance was in the peak of its popularity in Yugoslavia.

While Data was synthpop, Šizike mellow synth-disco recorded in private studio, this release is pure breaks and hip-hop electro, done old-school way in one of the best studios in Yugoslavia, Enco Lesic's Druga maca in Belgrade. MSB used impressive electronic gear and were helped by huge list of famous musicians and guests: Duca Markovic from hit-show 'Hit meseca' (Yugoslavian Top Of The Pops); Japanac on bass, Max Vincent on synths, Dudu Vudu from Du-Du-A, Goranka Matic as photographer and many more. MSB sampling technique and choices are unique: from obscure industrial records to freestyle; from found-sounds to cut-up breaks and even real prank-calls.

This is document of time that still sounds fresh and needs to find it's new, young audience of hip-hop history researchers, break-dancers, b-boys, b-girls and DJ's. When you know that it's produced in 1984 Yugoslavia, far away, but actually, so close to its USA brothers and sisters, it's even more mind-boggling. Thanks to Fox & His Friends and Jugoton CR collaboration, this gem is waiting for your freezes, footwork and electric boogie moves.
