Radio Slave pays homage to Funboy Three with ‘The Lunatics (A Tribute to Terry Hall)’. 

Fun Boy Three’s groundbreaking 1981 anthem ‘The Lunatics Have Taken Over The Asylum’ reflected a socio-political uncertainty and fear of the time, mirroring today’s calamitous society.

Radio Slave’s tribute to the late vocalist of The Specials and Fun Boy Three, Terry Hall, ‘The Lunatics (A Tribute To Terry Hall)’ centres itself on the unmistakable haunting vocal chant of its source material. Welded to the sort of unbreakable groove that Radio Slave has spent two decades refining, the vocal swells, repeating chorus, and jolting alarm sounds make for yet another anthem from one of dance music’s most bankable names.

“I’m sure I’m not alone in thinking that “the lunatics have taken over the asylum”, and it definitely seems like the right time to do a cover. I’m a huge fan of the late great Terry Hall. ‘Ghost Town’ was one of the first 12”s I ever bought, and growing up in South London, Fun Boy Three and The Specials was the soundtrack of my youth.” - Radio Slave, Feb 2024

Rounding out the release, Radio Slave strips the single of its iconic vocal for the ‘A Clinic Full Of Cynics’ dub. In this version, he lets its infectious guitar strum bass roar and added jazz-inflected musical elements shine in a pure and true tribute to ska music told by the Rekids founder.

Keraw is the collaborative guise of Paris based duo Bruce Vanderro and Lucas Moinet, over the past few years the pair have been steadily unveiling their take on classic house sounds with a modern twist via the likes of Plastik People Recordings, Groovin Recordings, JASOM and their own Maestropolis and Planete Keraw labels. Here though, the pair join the roster of the DimSum helmed, Switzerland based APRH (Addictive Pleasure Real Healing) Records, a perfect home for their material with a growing back catalogue of sturdy house cuts on the label since its inception in 2018.

Leading the EP is the ‘In My Soul (937 Main Mix)’, featuring Dusty Fingers & Mario Liberti, laid out across seven and a half minutes with swinging drums, airy chords, glistening keys, tension building strings and classic house inspired vocal chants throughout. The ‘Multichord of Madness (MPC Club Mix)’ follows and strips things back to a bumpy bass line, crisp, shuffled percussion, an amalgamation of bright stab sequences and shimmering atmospherics.

‘La Segunda Vibra (Original Club Mix)’ then kicks off the b-side, smoothly drifting back into jazzy house realms through wandering keys, a funk-infused bass line and organic drums before the ‘Midnight Sherbert (Deeper Mix)’ rounds out the EP, fusing resonant synth licks, classic house chords and a distorted bass groove with a heavily swung, saturated rhythm.

Giles et Diego is a french duo diving deep into House music. Their paths crossed at a beach party where Diego was the resident DJ, and their shared passion for House music instantly brought them together.

Giles, the producer geek, has always been captivated by electronic music in its myriad forms. Diego, on the other hand, is a seasoned House DJ hailing from Toulouse in the south of France.

In 2023, G&D united, delving into various shades of house rhythms. Their "House Family'' EP under Shamanistik Records brings to life four tracks personified as characters: Lola, Pablo, Julia, and Lea. Each track embodies its unique vibe, spanning from traditional house to deep house and tech house genres.

Simultaneously, G&D collaborated with a school in Uganda on a special organic house project titled "Dance Be Happy" through CAN Music. All profits from this venture are dedicated to the education of the showcased dancing children.

Additionally, Giles et Diego breathe new life into legendary tracks with their distinctive House remixes, including hits like "Disco to Disco," "Get Lucky," and "I Feel Love." Their live performances never fail to surprise and delight the dance floor with these reimagined classics.
