The music featured on Headman’s DeTurning album conjures a similar effect to people who have experienced a near death encounter seeing their entire lives pass before their eyes, with a series of seemingly disconnected experiences forming a dreamlike narrative.

This collection echoes Robi Insinna's early days in London at the turn of the century where making music became a rebellion against the saccharine sound of the era. The Headman moniker and Relish Recordings were born to inject the sort of raw and live aesthetic established by bands like Gang of Four and ESG with the same sensibilities he applies to his INDUSTRIA multidisciplinary brand - repurposing vintage military gear and iconic designer pieces to create something individual, an approach he also employs on the album’s artwork.
The songs themselves double as a form of resurrection, with disused tracks found on old hard drives brought back to life.

These ruminations of the past are evident with the inclusion of friends and former collaborators akin to a musical eulogy. The album’s first single NO SURPRISES features vocals by Silver Jan for an early eighties downtown NYC vibe that could have found a home in the Mudd Club or Danceteria or by Larry Levan at Paradise Garage. Zillas on Acid rework the track into a slow-driving techno chugger, taking it in a more sinister direction. SOMETIMES finds Vongold over a nineties indie throwback instrumental with a remix
provided by Leipzig’s New Hook, and the title track features vocalist Tara complimenting the proto-electro sound.

Much of the music also doubles as love letters to his most influential artists - FASHION is less like a cover of the eponymous David Bowie song and more like a hallucination, with a deep dub aesthetic echoing a hazy memory of this formative artist, where LIVE 120 conjures the feeling of earlier Headman remixes while taking inspiration from the likes of Liquid Liquid and Shrieckback. DUB21 uses dub influences by Jah Wobble while subtly paying tribute to Andrew Weatherall, SOLINA is titled after the string organ it was composed upon, with recollections of Brian Eno and Visconti, and the dark cold wave sound on NOT ABOUT recalls J.G.Ballard through the sonic lens of Dopplerefekt and includes two remixes by
Exterminador - one with a hypnotic melody that evokes memories of Chris & Cosey and another with a more ethereal retro atmosphere.

If the artistic process resembles a deathlike experience, the resulting album is like a requiem celebrating the possible end of Headman as a moniker, while keeping open to the possibility of a transcendent afterlife with a series of new projects like Robi Insinna and SASM w Douglas McCarthy from Nitzer Ebb awaiting to be reborn.

This is the 3rd single taken from the upcoming Headman album. Vocals are by Mexican DJ and producer Vongold. The single features a remix by New Hook and an extra song called Live120.

Sometimes is inspired by the 90s, as Headman recalls them. A mix of Indie and dance electronica.
Vongold having already released on Relish, a collaboration with fellow Mexican artist Mufti, added Vocals to the track.

Remix duties are by Leipzig’s New Hook. A female power-force DJ and producer duo that recently released the track Manipulation. They gave the original track an even more 90s dance spin.

The last track on the single is called Live120, also taken from the upcoming album. It could be described as a classic Headman track. Live Bass, a forward thumping beat and some electronic overtones.

PREMIERE: Headman - No Surprises  [ Relish ]

The car rattled and rumbled on through the night, the headlights illuminating the tarmac below and little else. All around them there was a thick dense black – the sort which might weigh you down if you were to let it.

The radio crackled from time to time as they dropped in and out of frequency – they were really in the middle of nowhere.

It was a cold out. Frosty even.

There was no turning back now…

Headman is set to release a new collection of tracks under the title ‘DeTurning’. Described as being a ‘collection which echoes Robi Insinna’s early days in London at the turn of the century where making music became a rebellion against the saccharine sound of the era.’

PREMIERE – Headman – SomeVersion

In the valleys of the land far and wide,
Where the moonbeams dance and the stars collide,
There lived a Headman, so spry and alive,
With a song in his heart, a jive to thrive.

He danced to the tune of “Live 120,”
A remix by Sen, oh so plenty!
With beats that fizzed and rhythms so fine,
He’d whirl and twirl like aged wine.


 
Through valleys of laughter, he’d skip and prance,
With each step, a wild, merry dance.
For in this realm of nonsense and glee,
Headman ruled with joy and gaiety.

SomeVersion/Live120RMX” is the final single from Headman’s “DeTurning” album. Robi has reversioned “SomeVersion” with late 80s inflections whilst Sen’s reworking of “Live120” melds retro futurism. Spot the break!

Stephan Eicher’s "Nice“ Reworks by Headman/Robi Insinna
And
"Les files "Les files du Limmatquai" Remixed by Whatever/Whatever

Having been a longstanding fan of Grauzone and Stephan Eicher's early solo work, Headman/ Robi Insinna was originaly asked to remix a track a few years back.
The idea of doing a Reworks 12“ on Relish came later and the choice fell on „Nice". Which will also be part of the Reworks album coming next year.

Headman then enlisted the help of New York City’s Justin Strauss who played "Eisbaer" by Grauzone when he got his first copy after he just started his first DJ job at legendary Mudd Club, who set to add his touch to "Le Files du Limmatquai" along with his partner Bryan Mette under the (Whatever/Whatever Remix) Moniker.

The Cover of the release is a take on the original artwork from the “Nice“ 12“ US mixes Vinyl from 83', which is by Klaudia Schifferle from Swiss all girl punk band Kleenex, who had written and performed „Nice" originally.

The result is a classic sound with a smooth modern edge.

“It does not sound old and dated, but somehow timeless…the Planet Rock touch was actually what i tried to achieve back in the days, Arthur Bakers style…31 years later it works!”
Stepahn EIcher

"… an A Love From Outer Space secret weapon finally goes public …“ - Sean Johnston - Hardway Bros

Robi Insinna aka Headman's Relish Recordings continues to forge in the past and brings you a collection of classic tracks reworked for today: Relish EP V including Unknown Cases, Units Dub by Headman, Gina X Red Axes version and Headman's original 2003 Dub.

First up is Headman's version of Masimbabele by The Unknown Cases.
The original track has been performed and recorded 25 years ago and was originally released as a 12" single by RoughTrade. Members were Cologne musicians Helmut Zerlett and Stefan Krachten (disciples and regular collaborators of the CAN musicians) and legendary African percussionist REEBOP KWAKU BAAH and it has actually been mixed at CAN STUDIO in Cologne.

Masimbabele was originally regarded as "a modern form of rhythm'n'blues" in the original 1983 Rough Trade promotion info – since nobody involved had heard anything like that before....no surprise it became one of John Peel's favourite records of the early 80s and one of his most played singles in 1983. it became since an Afrobeat classic! it was also Remixed by Adrian Sherwood in 1989 for RoughTrade.

As second track on the EP is Headman's unreleased High Pressure Days Dub by The Units. In 2009 the Original was release digital and on Vinyl via Relish with a remixes by Rory Phillips and Headman.

The Units were a cornerstone of this unofficial movement, later called “synth punk” and which would come to define a greater west coast DIY culture combining new synthetic sounds, ranging from Nervous Gender, Screamers and Monitor, to The Blackouts. High Pressure Days is a testament to the loneliness and urgency of the times, and one of synthpunkʼs greatest anthems while at the same time becoming a dancefloor classic among djʼs like Danielle Baldelli.

Next up is the Red Axes remix of their all time favorite track No G.D.X. by Gina X. They say it was something very special for them, as the track means a lot to them. Headman's 2003 Dub is the final track on the EP and it was released originally by Hell's Gigolo Records.

Released in autumn 1979, No G.D.M. slowly took hold with disparate audiences worldwide, and remains a classic to this day.
Sometimes the man-machine is a woman... or is it? It's hard to tell in the twilight world of Gina X Performance — the collaboration of singer/lyricist Gina Kikoine and producer/multi-instrumentalist Zeus B. Held—confounded the norms. Their songs blur genders and sexual preferences; rouge covers stubble and women morph into men.

No G.D.M. became a staple of Rusty Egan's playlist at Blitz, the epicentre of London's fashionable nightclub scene. Groundbreaking in its choice of sounds, subject matter and visual presentation, Gina X Performance anticipated the better- known achievements of countless peers: the sleazy electro-noir of Soft Cell; the androgynous stance of Annie Lennox and Grace Jones & Laurie Anderson's marriage of electronic pop with performance art. The entire "electroclash" movement at the turn of the 21st century owed a debt to GXP with Miss Kittin & The Hacker topping the list and it also anticipated the UK synthpop boom of Human League and Depeche Mode by a couple of years...

REPVI (Relish E.P. Six) sampler includes Gameboyz featuring Duncan Gray, HERETIC (feat. Justine), newcomer Maya Danon, Club Bizarre and The Mansisters.

Robi Insinna just released his Album 6, in-between the follow up EPs and Vinyl exclusives he could not resist to put these tracks out on another Relish EPVI.

Track 1: ‘Riot Funk’ - Gameboyz feat Duncan Gray
DJ tag-team Gameboyz (Modernphase, Da Well & Xar Lee) join forces with UK tici taci label boss Duncan Gray and deliver Riot Funk, which sounds like it should - loud and dirty!
Duncan Gray: His label tici taci. Counted as one of Andrew Weatherall's favourite producers, his productions have been a staple of many ALFOS parties, and have found wide support.
The Gameboyz collaboration with Duncan Gray is the first of many to come.

Track 2: ‘Insurrection’ – Heretic (feat. Justine)
The second track is by Heretic who already released the highly acclaimed 44 Squadron E.P. on Relish earlier in the year.
Insurrection is a collaboration between Heretic and future No Wave Pop sensation, Justine. After working on a lyrical concept together, Justine came up with the spoken word lyricis, exploring ideas of revolution and taking a stand against global corporate giants and consumerism. Heretic is also busy with his Eskimo Twins project. 

Track 3: ‘Dazed’ - Maya Danon
Maya Danon Tel Aviv based musician, sound artist and producer is up next with Dazed.
The Detroit influenced track draws influences from experimental electronics, krautrock and new wave, she creates a combination of energetic grooves, dreamy sounds and complexed textures. It also reflects her background as a sound designer.
Dazed has a tight rhythm section in which the baseline pushes forward while the drums keeps it steady and under control, allows the mind to let go and float with those spacey motives and get a bit lost as that texture part goes in toward the end. It's safe as that baseline keeps you home. On the floor.  

Track 4: ‘East Side Story’ - Club Bizarre
Club Bizarre started in November 2010 with entrance in the Days of Being Wild family in 2012 with a remix for Catalepsia. Shortly after La Mort du Petit Cheval was released with remixes from Chloé, Matt Walsh and Catalepsia in February 2013. Sam is also A&R at Days Of Being Wild! label.

The track was produced with a Juno 106, Minibrute and Nord rack for the synths, Linndrum samples and a few plugs. 

Track 5: ‘S.S.W.S.’ (Sweet Smoke Weed Strobe) - The Mansisters
The Mansisters is the camp moniker of Scandinavian duo Kasper Bjørke (Denmark) who just released his album “After Forever” and Jon Atli / Sexy Lazer (Iceland).  
The simple idea for the lyrics of S.S.W.S. was born in a strange, dim lit room at Berghain in Berlin. The Mansisters were in a dreamstate after being upstairs partying all night at Panorama Bar - and "accidentally" went downstairs, while "searching for the bathroom"

After "desperately trying to find the exit", they sat down in a corner feeling a little insecure by the fact that they were lost - and started to desperately and repeatedly shout out “Sweet!… Smoke!…Weed!….Strobe!"

Mondowski releases his first EP called Klub Psycho including 2 original tracks plus remixes by The Hacker and Joe Spurgeon from The Horrors.

Hi there... Is there something like an East­-London sound or attitude? Anyway, French DJ/producer wonder child Mondowski recently moved there. Born in the early nineties, the young artist has never been (frankly speaking) a "club kid". Creation's back catalogue, MBV and The Jesus and Mary Chain stand out as his seminal references... as well as Death in Vegas which, he claims, opened him up to electronic and synth music. Dark was the turn.

After the release of Cry Wolf and Sans Soleil on Relish Compilaltion IV in December 2015, the I­Boat Shadowplay party promoter is back with 2 new original tracks to be released on Relish once more. The EP is entitled Klub Psycho. The title track, to make it short, is a fierce and industrial dance­floor beat... brilliant and abrasive... ruthlessly groovy... as weird and deviant as its record cover... There's Black Age, its scary synth waves, its haunting voice­over and metallically acid vibe.

The Hacker takes over and reworks the original track into a dreadful warehouse anthem. And there's the eponymous track... and well guess it's just what it's called an unsettling late-­of-­the-­nite endeavor which Joe Spurgeon's remix efficiently rearticulates into a Detroit-­techno-­flavored underground statement.

Headman/ Robi Insinna has done many remixes over the years aside from his Headman and Manhead projects and running Relish. He always liked reinterpreting classic tracks that inspired him or that he was a fan of. Ranging from the mid 70's to the early 80's, this album features a handful of classics Reworked. Roxy Music hails from an era that started shaping the late 70's avant-garde scene. it turns to Italo Disco classics like Klein M.B.O. and N.O.I.A., essential to the formation and inspiration for bands like New Order. Synth-Punk group The Units with the High Pressure Days Rework through to electronic-afro-funk of The Unknown Cases over to Swiss artist Stephan Eicher from Grauzone fame. 

￼Reworks features tracks that are soft-spots for Robi, and have inspired him to ￼produce his own music. He tries to keep as much of the original as possible, slightly ￼updating and adapting to modern-day dance floors. The essence, intended to be kept alike and preserved. 

A rework of Fred Ventura kicks off the album, it’s featured on the limited edition 7” Vinyl, originally produced by the Godfathers of Italo Disco, Turatti and Chieregato over 30 years ago. N.O.I.A.’s hit from the early 80’s is reworked to produce a tune that’s current to todays dance floors. One of John Peel’s favourites of 83’, The Unknown Cases sweeps in – the rework was released on Relish EP V Vinyl in 2014, an afro/cosmic treasure in Robis vinyl collection. Headman’s Dub of The Units follows; Robi first heard this on a Baldelli mix from the early 80’s, since then it’s become one of his favourite tracks. The Units were the corner stone of an unofficial movement, later called “synth punk” and which would come to define a greater west coast DIY culture combining new synthetic sounds. ￼The next Rework is from Klein & ￼M.B.O. “Dirty talk” fame. The anticipators of New Orders early 80’s sound. 

RIS Remix dates from 2004, it was a classic Italo Disco hit that inspired and shaped the sound of Headman, Manhead and Relish. Gina X, and her 1979 release No G.D.M. gets a 2016 Headman rework. His first remix was released in 2003 on Gigolo. The second half also features a rework of Grauzone’s Stephan Eicher’s hit Nice. This was a very important rework for Robi, being a Swiss national and a big fan of Grauzone and Stephan Eicher. Swiss all girl punk band Kleenex wrote and performed Nice originally. The next release came out on Roxy Music’s 2006 Roxy 
Music Remix project album, Headman’s rework Dub was unreleased to this date, and is also featured on the very limited edition 7”, to be released in conjunction with the album. This mix was done with the most respect for the original sounds and instrumentals; to hear them all separated was exciting and at the same time a challenge. The album closes off with another reworked dub of State of Art, formed in 1981, an Italian New wave band out of Milan and the former Band of Fred Ventura.

Headman’s Be Loved surfaces from Relish’s recent label round up Compilation 3.
The taught 808 foundation of the track is supplemented with heart swelling synth
lines that unfold eventually into an upbeat electronic pop song repleat with live bass
and swirling strings. Vocal duties are supplied by Rosie Blair, known to some as
vocalist for Moon Unit, and one half of the duo Boy of Girl with Paul Mogg (formerly
of the Psychonauts). The song steps a fine line between electro, synth pop and the
electro/acoustic dualism of Wide Boy Awake.
Along with a dub come two remixes. First up Andreas Esu turns in a trademark
percussion driven house cut up, with a dancefloor calibrated piano breakdown. Then
it is Daniel Avery’s turn to offer something much colder in aesthetic: 4x4 with bleepy

Robi Insinna aka Headman's Relish Recordings continues to forge in the past and brings you a collection of classic tracks reworked for today: Relish EP V including Unknown Cases, Units Dub by Headman, Gina X Red Axes version and Headman's original 2003 Dub.

First up is Headman's version of Masimbabele by The Unknown Cases.
The original track has been performed and recorded 25 years ago and was originally released as a 12" single by RoughTrade. Members were Cologne musicians Helmut Zerlett and Stefan Krachten (disciples and regular collaborators of the CAN musicians) and legendary African percussionist REEBOP KWAKU BAAH and it has actually been mixed at CAN STUDIO in Cologne.

Masimbabele was originally regarded as "a modern form of rhythm'n'blues" in the original 1983 Rough Trade promotion info – since nobody involved had heard anything like that before....no surprise it became one of John Peel's favourite records of the early 80s and one of his most played singles in 1983. it became since an Afrobeat classic! it was also Remixed by Adrian Sherwood in 1989 for RoughTrade.

As second track on the EP is Headman's unreleased High Pressure Days Dub by The Units. In 2009 the Original was release digital and on Vinyl via Relish with a remixes by Rory Phillips and Headman.

The Units were a cornerstone of this unofficial movement, later called “synth punk” and which would come to define a greater west coast DIY culture combining new synthetic sounds, ranging from Nervous Gender, Screamers and Monitor, to The Blackouts. High Pressure Days is a testament to the loneliness and urgency of the times, and one of synthpunkʼs greatest anthems while at the same time becoming a dancefloor classic among djʼs like Danielle Baldelli.

Next up is the Red Axes remix of their all time favorite track No G.D.X. by Gina X. They say it was something very special for them, as the track means a lot to them. Headman's 2003 Dub is the final track on the EP and it was released originally by Hell's Gigolo Records.

Released in autumn 1979, No G.D.M. slowly took hold with disparate audiences worldwide, and remains a classic to this day.
Sometimes the man-machine is a woman... or is it? It's hard to tell in the twilight world of Gina X Performance — the collaboration of singer/lyricist Gina Kikoine and producer/multi-instrumentalist Zeus B. Held—confounded the norms. Their songs blur genders and sexual preferences; rouge covers stubble and women morph into men.

No G.D.M. became a staple of Rusty Egan's playlist at Blitz, the epicentre of London's fashionable nightclub scene. Groundbreaking in its choice of sounds, subject matter and visual presentation, Gina X Performance anticipated the better- known achievements of countless peers: the sleazy electro-noir of Soft Cell; the androgynous stance of Annie Lennox and Grace Jones & Laurie Anderson's marriage of electronic pop with performance art. The entire "electroclash" movement at the turn of the 21st century owed a debt to GXP with Miss Kittin & The Hacker topping the list and it also anticipated the UK synthpop boom of Human League and Depeche Mode by a couple of years...

One year after his stunning debut on Relish with the aptly named Klub Psycho, French London-based dj/producer Mondowski is back with a new ep: Surfin Hell.
The eponymous track unrolls a mesmerizing technoid slo-mo psychedelia suffused with acid elements paralleling an out-of-space surf rock guitar riff which finally morphs into a Morriconesque western soundtrack clip. While Headman aka Insinna reworks the original track into a late nite club anthem, Sébastien Chenut, one half of Scratch Massive, takes us even further back in time with a brilliant dance-floor oriented remix which tapes into a distinctly eighties New Wave melancholia. Mondowski's second new track, Delok, turns out to be a totally different matter plunging deep into the uncompromising depths of leftfield club electronica. In short, full blast!

ROBI INSINNA – HARD WORK [INDUSTRIA]
Format: Vinyl
Cat No: IND001

Hard Work is the first release on Industria, Robi Insinna’s brand new project label.

Back in 2001 Robi Insinna founded the seminal Relish label in direct response to a thendominant sound in club music. Its catalogue is as vast as it is varied and foreshadowing the music he'd go on to make himself under Headman/Manhead. Fast forward to 2018 and after more than a decade he's on the move again launching new Project label, Industria with 'not quite an album, not quite an EP, Hard Work. Robi felt there was no reason to split projects the way he did with his aliases and as such the debut will be released under Robi's own name.

Industria will be focused more on vinyl releases, but not solely vinyl. The project will encompass all area's of Robi's work and ties together elements of his art and visual design projects. This release is limited to 200 copies, 50 of them will feature a special Artwork, that will be sold in
selected places.

Merging Robi's disco leanings with an opiate smooth, stoned groove the title track Hard Work opens proceedings and heads immediately for the dancefloor dragging its hushed vocals and skewed guitar line kicking and screaming with it. The dub rolls in next further stretching and twisting the guitar and giving the rhythm more space to swing. It most of all draws from the sense of outsider-disco fun, with the sound of stuttering percussion, a wry smile, and a knowing wink running throughout. Düsseldorf Krautrockers Die Wilde Jagd take over remix duties on the third track of the A side and cast Hard Work off into unfamiliar and experimental territory, using bright synth splashes,
squashed vocal samples and a pulsing rhythm to wrestle the groove and growling sense of menace out of the track.
Side 2 kicks things off with Some Believe coming to life with arpeggio'd synth shapes and brutish drums. The overall feel, however, suggests considerable care and attention has been paid to make it sound this way. There's clearly an uncommon musicality at play here to make something this complex feel so simple. The BPM drops next on The Kiss but from the offset, there's enough funk and thrust in the
motorised synth line to get bodies gently grooving without the beauty getting lost in the slower
loop. A dramatic bass leads and a xylophone playing a nervous but euphoric melody follows. It's glassy mallets pinging atop the warm electronics creating a fresh groove. Closing track Oct17 rounds off the record and puts an ever more personal spin on retro analogue
sounds with synths and drummachines . A razor-sharp snare fires against the bassline and what sounds like a sliced vocal loop before these elements settle into a more measured thrust with the
undulating synth tones offset by funkier ingredients. This is a record that doesn't have its eyes fixed on past glories but references all the element that made Robi's previous work so special. Hard Work sounds like it's here to freshen up 2018. It's music that leaves scorch marks and smoulders. It is the sound of our very own, very recent times.

IND 003 is the 2nd Vinyl release on INDUSTRIA. Robi Insinna’s new project
label. Industria is not just about music, but also products, art and more.
The Vinyl is limited Edition of 200 Records. 190 are w/ transparent plastic cover
and hand Numbered. 10 Copies will be part of INDUSTRIA LIMITED Show
happening in September and will feature Screen prints on the plastic Cover.
This record one can say was planned a while back when Robi had a DJ gig together with Vox Low. The next day while meeting in the lobby for a late coffee and a croissant in a quiet Bordeaux Hotel, the idea came for a swap Remix on Vinyl.
When Robi started Industria, he still had in mind that the second Vinyl release could be that swap. Guess both Artist coming from a similar background and working in a similar analog organic style liked the idea and knew what they would get sound wise would be something both have plenty to play with.
On the A side Vox Low remixed Robi’s HARD WORK, which was already released
in 2018 including a remix by Die Wilde Jagd. Vox Low turned the track into a dark more dancefloor orientated version. Still with the trademark Vox Low sounds and Guitars.
On the B side Robi remixed You Are A Slave. He liked all the sounds so much that he thought it is better to keep as much from the original as possible, still trying to make it his own version. He added percussion to create a more funky/dark sound and extended the track. The dub was done in an old school kind of way. All the parts where laid out on a mixer and assigned to various tape delays and reverbs and would be dubbed real time, in the school of Mad Professor or Lee Perry. Not an easy approach and it needed several takes till it started making sense. All mistakes and organic things where important to this Dub.
Robi will be hosting an INDUSTRIA Limited exhibition later in the year, which will
show the direction the label is going.

From top to bottom, tall windows covered the staggering high rise in the centre of the city. As the sun set on another day, the orange and pink hues reflected on the building, painting it in dreamy pastel shades. Inside the clock hands pointed to 5pm: closing time. In their throngs, men and women dressed in uniform exited the building in single file. Not a hair out of place, not a crease to be seen, their moves synchronised. Every day the routine was the same, nothing ever changed. They were slaves to a system, to a corporate entity that had juristiction over their every move. 

IND 003 marks the second vinyl release on INDUSTRIA, the new project label of Robi Insinna AKA Headman. The result of a meeting with French band Vox Low after playing together in Bordeaux, the swap remix record will be available on a limited press of 200 records, 190 of which will be hand stamped and numbered. INDUSTRIA is Robi Insinna’s multi-disciplined art project combining different forms of artistic expression across music, artwork, fashion, video and products.

PREMIERE: Vox Low – You Are A Slave (Robi Insinna Dub) [INDUSTRIA]

Cat No. : RR065
Artist : HEADMAN
Title : IT ROUGH 2013
Label : RELISH RECORDINGS
Format(s): Digital
Release Date: 01/02/2013

TRACK LIST:
01. It Rough [Chicken Lips Remix]
02. It Rough [2013 Reversion]
03. It Rough [2013 Reprise]
04. It Rough [Scott Fraser Remix]
05. It Rough [Remain Remix]

Robi Insinna AKA Headman revives underground classic ‘It Rough’ for 2013 with a package that includes the anthemic original Chicken Lips remix as well as new mixes from Headman and remixes from Scott Fraser and Remain...

Back in 2003 the Gomma label released Headman’s ‘It Rough’ featuring a superb slice of post punk/disco from Headman producer Robi Insinna and a remix from production duo Chicken Lips. The record was a massive success for the label with the Chicken Lips remix becoming an instant dancefloor classic and receiving a nomination from Groove Magazine as an ‘All time dance classic’.

Now almost a decade on Headman don and Relish Recordings label boss Robi Insinna has decided to re-release this much sought after record, introducing it to a younger audience who may well not have been around for it’s original release.

The single kicks off with the mighty Chicken Lips remix, a version that for many DJs has almost certainly never gone away. Stripped, at times brutally raw and totally mesmerizing this is a remix that is as timeless now as when it was first recorded. Taking it’s cues from early Chicago house the Chicken Lips boys take things back to an 808 and 303 approach to devastating effect, building a slow steady groove that is so full of compressed energy that a simple snare roll and ride at around the half way point acts as a tinderbox and quite simply takes the roof off.

Robi Insinna gets to grips with his own composition for a ‘2012 version’ and a ‘2012 reprise’ which sees the song morphed into an updated version keeping the funky post punk disco vibe with rich analogue synth lines, heavily delayed percussion and the distinct vocal refrain. The reprise sees Robi venture into acidic territory with a superb moog bassline that bubbles and mutates throughout the track adding another enticing layer to this already superb track.

For the remixes Robi turns to two of his favourite producers of the moment, both of whom have collaborated on the Relish label before, Scott Fraser and Remain. Scott takes the original and twists it into a brooding and emotive slice of electronica that delves into deep and techy territory whilst Remain delivers a wonderfully spacious & stripped version that wraps itself around a simple and infectious bassline.

A true classic revived for 2013 in the best possible way!

Relish Recordings presents the new single from Headman featuring Scott Fraser and
Douglas McCarthy giving a taster of his artist album due later in the year...

Robi Insinna aka Headman pairs up with former Relish producer Scott Fraser of the so-called Scrutton Street Axis (along with likeminded tunesmiths Andrew Weatherall and Timothy J Fairplay who all work in the same basement studio) and Nitzer Ebb’s Douglas McCarthy who provides vocals.

Noise is a fierce and prickly brew of synthetic sounds, gurgling acid and heavyweight
dubbed kick drums. The vocals of McCarthy add a nineties feel as he asks over and over if you “want some noise”. Sweaty, smoky, dirty basement disco might be a good way to describe it.

As well as a dub version there are two more remixes. The first comes from Daniel Maloso of Cómeme fame. He turns the track into a more electrified, John Carpenter style version laced up with raw and frazzled arpeggiated synths and plenty of libidinous vocal cries.

The final remix comes from Sean Johnston aka Hardway Bros – a DJ partner in crime with Andrew Weatherall in their A Love From Outer Space party project. He speeds things up a little and adds a bit of retro style dancefloor darkness to ensure the package offers something for every moment of a night.

Headman feat. Scott Fraser & Douglas McCarthy - Noise (Daniel Maloso Remix)

Silent Servant remixed SASM – Democracy. SASM is Douglas McCarthy (Nitzer Ebb) and Robi Insinna. Democracy and Collective Action featured on INDUSTRIA Compilation #1. Juan Mendez aka Silent Servant is a producer and DJ from L.A. He added his apocalyptic culture aesthetics, capturing the youth-driven mutation of crossover electronics. The remix feels like a wired Alan Vega / Nitzer
Ebb track from the early 2000's that does not exist.

Relish Compilation VII features tracks and remixes by AHEADACHEADAY, ELIEZER w/ Zillas on Acid and Dangur, M Love, Headman, Mufti feat. Vongold, Franz & Shape and Modular Project.

The Compilation starts off with Alberto de Angeli aka AHEADACHEADAY. A dark slow motion synth laden track with Burundi beat undertones. 
Tel Aviv’s Eliezer collaborated w/ Zillas on Acid on Anna Bella. The vocals are by Isadora. The song is trippy, hypnotic and percussive.
M Love’s Price is his 3rd release on Relish. New World was featured on REPIX. New Wave and Krautrock infused techno for the momentarily absent dancefloors.This time a bit harder and less melodic. Devoleb is a new Headman track. The original idea was to rework an old track, but while working on it something new came out. The track is an example of Post Punk Disco, 808 drummachines and Basslines that reminds one of Motorik retro futurist funk. Crimson is by Eliezer and Dangur with again vocals from Isadora. This version is a bit more uptempo, again with a tribal nearly ethnic feel with guitars and percussion that slide in and out dubbing everything. Mufti feat Vongold contributed already on REPXI. False Guru has a similar  Mexican underground vibe, dark arpeggio synths, driving drums and  mystic vocals by Vongold.
Headman’s Be Loved original version was released in 2011. First remixed by Daniel Avery on the homonymous single. Modular Project remixed the version again and turned it into a high energy dark Giorgio Moroder-esque interpretation keeping loads of sounds and the poppy vocals from the original. Franz & Shape who have been part of Relish since the early days contributed N.u.m.b.. The vocals are by Matt Southall from the UK band Officers. The remix is by Croatian electronica producer Petar Dundov. He added vocoders and gave a nice retro-italo feel to the original version.
