Vaiko Eplik - Pöördumatult Soe (Neuronphase Rmx)

Even though disco music was considered harmless in Soviet Union – you really can’t sing about politics to dancers – there wasn’t released many Estonian disco tracks on vinyl records. Frotee found from archives two incredible previously unreleased disco tracks by Elektra. Sung in beautiful Estonian language by young highschool girls and backed by pretty tight instrumental group. While "Meid kaasa muusika viib" (originally "Jump To The Beat") is good for busy dancefloors, the cover version of "You Might Need Somebody", "Keegi", sounds even smoother in Estonian. Limited picture sleeve 7” with liner notes.

Frotee is back on track with the search for forgotten pearls in Estonian Radio archive. For our first compilation “Valgusesse - 8 shiny tracks from Estonian Radio archive” Frotee team has hand-picked 8 previously unreleased songs by 8 Estonian artists. These tracks, with their range of styles from soul to AOR, jazz to ambient, have long ago earned their rightful place in Frotee's heart but are only now being released in a form of a record.

On “Valgusesse” compilation you’ll find tracks from groups from Frotee’s earlier discography. Elektra, under their initial name Kooli-prii, had recorded another charming soul cover. Fusion-disco-reggae group Tornaado surprises us with an Estonian version of Kraftwerk's hit single “Das Model”. It might well be the first opportunity for you to discover some early Estonian ambient sounds by Tiit Aunaste or hear the songs from the previously underrated pop-singer Kristi Tammik. The collection also features pop sounds by the well-known Estonian jazz musicians Sven Kullerkupp and Lembit Saarsalu. The pianist Sven Kullerkupp recorded perfect Balearic beat in 1990 and Estonian best saxophonist Lembit Saarsalu found time to play disco-funk with Estonian Radio orchestra in 1979. Both sides of LP end with authentic Estonian yacht rock, played by Salamander and Radar, respectively.

A1. By The Light Of The Pyramids
B1. Postcards From Gortupal

In an era of boundless self promotion, anonymity is a rare and precious thing. Listening to Trevor Jackson's NTS show one night we heard a glorious piece of music by something called Elite Beat. A quick search found 10 years worth of recorded material but not a single photo or youtube clip. They had made a record with Niger born guitarist Mdou Moctar but were based in Portland, Oregon. More questions than answers but we knew we had just heard one helluva cosmic link up! 

We still don't know what they look like but we can tell you Elite Beat is a 6 piece ensemble now in their 12th year as a musical collective. Their sound is non prescribed rhythm music with an emphasis on live playing, free form expression and dubbing techniques. Players who have absorbed the plethora of global grooves from dub, Ethiopoques and Tuareg guitar music (probably the odd Dead bootleg too). They aren't retromaniacs or here to revive a genre. Just some cats from Oregon talking that universal language, fueled by laugher and a vision of the eternal.
