Especial continues its mission to find different takes on club music, presenting a perfect pop-dance moment, Be Honest.

Produced by long-time friends, DJ, diggers and artists Lipelis and Arsenii, their collaboration is an 80s New York inspired dream of superlative production and programming wrapped around a love-forlorn vocals from guest Gayana.

Laying down a demo one hazy Moscow summer afternoon nearly a decade ago, the original was a simple instrumental boogie jam recorded live to a 4-track tape recorder.

Soft keys, melancholic melody, Paul Simpson “Easy Street” dub bassline, tight drums and hats all bore the hallmarks of Lipelis. Dusting down old drives in a new studio during lockdown and bringing this gift back to life, Leonid sent a rough mix to vocalist Gayana.

Having produced a remix for her that ended up a big DJ Harvey play – a standout on his Sound Of Mercury Rising (Volume II) compilation – she was the perfect choice to bring the jam to life.

Gayana’s heartfelt lyrics, a timely and pertinent call for truth and compassion, the electro-jam morphed into a beautiful song. Realising they had something unique, Lipelis crafted first a live mix desk dub and instrumental to follow an analogue path.

Guided by a desire to present the music as the full package it warrants, a video was specially produced and released in summer 2020. Here, Especial appears, a long-standing friendship with Leo led to the idea to craft a vinyl release was conceived.

Now based in Belgrade and New York, Lipelis and Arsenii produce their own remixes respectively. The 12” Dance mix offering from Lipelis gives the DJ world that nigh perfect (breaks’n’vox) Summer of Love anthem to move you from sunset to sunrise, festival to basement, while Arsenii’s Dubplate VIP is a stunning drum and bass version that nods to the smooth (“intelligent”) period of Bukem and Reese with aplomb, bringing finally, this wonderful song to the world.

Off the back of a deeply inspiring trip immersed in the beauty of Lanzarote, Christophe Salin returns with his latest LP - a softly spoken yet emphatic record that speaks of landscape, sun, sea and the finer things in the rich tapestry of life….

Ever since his first exposure to House music in the 90s, Salin has thrown himself into producing, DJing and all facets of hardware discovery. His initial work on white labels and edits blossomed into the formation of Salin Records, which he has used as an outlet for his recent creative expressions. His sound is firmly established in house traditions, with expert groove lines and melodic sequences being utilized to full effect, but it is his love of equipment which has continued to fuel his desire to explore his sound to the fullest. His tunes are fun, fresh and emotive, bringing together the very best of the genre, with his own personal twist on things riding front and centre throughout his enriching discography.

Whilst Salin draws deeply from house music, his new record ‘Ocean & Cliffs’ draws as deeply from a new source of inspiration - the island of Lanzarote. Following walks through the island’s captivating and dynamic landscapes, Salin was drawn almost to the ‘nothingness’ of space, its quiet and peaceful charm, and as a result, he began work on the bones of ‘Ocean & Cliffs’. When moving through the record there is a sense of Lanzarote’s influence being discovered everywhere - as if turning over rocks on the ground, sifting through sand on the beach, hearing the breeze in the palm trees. There is a soothing energy that can, in many ways, only really be found in nature, where someone is to fully embrace this state of mind and create music based upon these feelings. His new LP has a very natural energy to it, filled with rhythms that echo footsteps through the hills and the notion of being in a space much bigger than a human sense of scale - and that is the beauty of it all, isn’t it?

Bhekithemba Buthelezi - Spectrum of Light (Original)

In the stillness between reason and creation, hidden syntax awakens. Order breathes through chaos, revealing the sacred proportion behind all form. Within that silent geometry, thought becomes light, and light becomes law.

Newcomer Magic Carpet sets off despite travel restrictions with a versatile EP from Berlin based producer Phyzikal Flex.

The four track release is a voyage through the history of dancefloor music, drawing influences from UK Rave, Jungle and early Detroit Techno. Phyzikal Flex navigates lush sonic textures, poignant basslines and warm, organic breakbeats with ease, all whilst channelling nostalgic flashbacks of the second summer of love.

Awesome Orientalists From Europa is an edits project dedicated to awesome music and new politics. Inspired by record labels and DJs that specialise in reissuing ‘world’ music, A.O.F.E. turns the tables on the perception of exoticism by rediscovering obscure and forgotten western dance floor tracks. The music published in the project fantasises about the foreign, tribal and oriental, but was in its whole created in the west, for the west. All profits from this release are donated to NGOs that fight Islamophobia, antisemitism and racism in Europe. Graphic design by David Pearl.

Greg began DJing in 1975 and is regarded as one of the most important figures on the UK dance scene. He enjoyed hugely popular residencies in the early eighties at Wigan Pier and Manchester’s majorly influential Legend, having originally started out in his hometown, New Brighton. A pioneer of mixing in the UK, he became the first ‘dance music’ specialist hired for a regular weekly session at Manchester’s now legendary Haçienda club in 1983. Greg was instrumental in breaking the new electronic, post-disco records coming out of New York, a sound he has dubbed ‘Electro-Funk’.

In 2003 he set up electrofunkroots, a website documenting this crucial era in the evolution of dance culture. After a two decade hiatus from the booth, he returned to DJing and soon welcomed bookings throughout Europe and, subsequently, worldwide.

Greg was the first DJ to mix live on British TV, putting together the first UK radio mixes of their type for Piccadilly 261 in Manchester and showing a certain Norman Cook (later Fatboy Slim) how to scratch.

Nominated by DJ Magazine for outstanding contribution, and also named amongst their top twenty remixers of all-time, Greg’s remix credits include Grace Jones, The XX, Groove Armada, Bryan Ferry, Confidence Man, Gilberto Gil and Simian Mobile Disco, whilst he’s edited tracks by A Guy Called Gerald, Talking Heads, O.M.D., Electronic, Imagination and Missy Elliot.

In January 2009 Greg’s reputation was further enhanced when his Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1 received almost universal acclaim and was selected as one of 10 classics that spanned the show’s near 17 year history.

Greg’s Blog, ‘Being A DJ’, was launched in June 2010 for observations on various aspects of club culture now an online touchstone for an ever-increasing amount of dance enthusiasts and aficionados.

In August 2010 he co-curated areas at the inaugural Vintage Festival at Goodwood, which was named ‘Best New Festival’ at the UK Festival Awards.

He has produced a series of documentary podcasts, Time Capsule, Random Influences and Early 80’s Floorfillers, as well as the long-running blog series, Living To Music.

Greg has given talks on music and DJ culture at a number events at venues The Tate Gallery in Liverpool and London's Southbank and Institute Of Contemporary Arts, whilst in 2013 he was invited onto a panel alongside legendary figures Nile Rodgers and Giorgio Moroder @ ADE in Amsterdam. 

In 2014 he unveiled the multi-media label Super Weird Substance, focusing on recording and live events. In 2015, the label released 8 vinyl singles, brought together in the 2 CD comp, 'Greg Wilson Presents Super Weird Substance'. September 2015 saw a memorable Festival No.6 Happening in Portmeirion and Greg rounded off the year with the Liverpool-based celebration of the 40th anniversary of his first club date in 1975 as well as being presented with DJ Magazine's Industry Icon award.

Greg launched his Credit To The Edit club collective at 2016's Festival No.6 and since then has taken it to Liverpool, Berlin, Brixton, Bethnal Green and finally back to Portmeirion for Festival No.6 2017.

2017 saw his label host the epic 14 Hour Super Weird Happening at Liverpool's Florrie, following a mixtape collaboration with Alan Moore, who also appeared at the Happening, whilst it also saw the digital release of The Super Weird Society's 'Gone With The Vibe', released the following year on the first Substance Select 12" vinyl alongside 'The Ghosts Of Watling Street', 'The Best Is Yet To Come' and 'Summer Came My Way'. 2018 also saw the release of Vol.3 in Greg's long-running Credit To The Edit compilation series.

After a handful of further releases, the label was put into hibernation with the onset of covid. Diversifying, ‘Greg Wilson’s Discotheque Archives’ was issued during 2020 lockdown as a limited run paperback, with more books, both Wilson’s own projects and by other authors, now planned.
