Coinciding with the recent release of the REPVI compilation via his own Relish label, Swiss producer Robi Insinna (a.k.a. Headman) has elected to share a stripped-down edit called FK "CW". Slowing down the original tune a touch and infusing it with a chunky disco bounce, Headman's edit is built around the original's more memorable elements. A cautiously nimble take on a dance music classic.

Format: VINYL + DIGITAL


The end of the 1970’s saw Units and their compatriots (Pink Section, Voice, Farm, Tuxedomoon, and Screamers) storming punk clubs like the Mabuhay with a new electronic punk sound.

The co-opted, predictable guitar rock of the era had given way to aggressive synthesizers, film collage,
and punk DIY ingenuity. 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. Units’ tight keyboard riffing, raw electronic texture, monotone delivery, raging synth arpeggios and
growling Moog basslines practically define synthpunk’s futuristic, alienated disposition. Thematically, Units’ music explored and exploded the very nature of “unit-like”conformity- perhaps
using their synth blasts to tear away the very fabric of it.

“High Pressure Days” is a testament to the loneliness and urgency of the times, and one of synthpunk’s greatest anthems while at the same time becoming a dancefloor classic among dj’s like Danielle Baldelli. Now, 30 years later, Relish Recordings is proud to be releasing “High Pressure Days” on 12”.

In 2003 labelboss Robi Insinna (aka Headman) already tried to include the track on his ‘Dance Modern’ compilation for Eskimo Records, but back then he was unable to locate the band to clear the rights. Obviously he is extremely happy to
get the opportunity to work with the band after all. He also provided a remix for the 12”, as did another longtime fan – Rory Phillips of London’s THRASH and DURRR parties.

Coinciding with the Relish release, US label Community Library is releasing a discography CD called ‘History of the Units’, compiling the band’s most sought-after early singles and selections from their first LP ‘Digital Stimulation’.

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!”

Discotheque - Never Stop (Headman/Robi Insinna Edit)

Relish’s latest project sees label head Headman/Robi Insinna reworking a number of classic avant-garde, synth pop and Italo disco tracks. We have been given the opportunity to premiere the Headman remix of 1983 Italo cut ‘Love N Music’ by RIS.

Headman’s remix keeps the original’s banging 808s, and adds a throbbing synth line to emphasise the songs sleaze. It keeps the infamous vocal away until right at the very end, leaving a wonderful crescendo for the song to finish on.

Release date: 24/06/2016

PREMIERE - LuLúxpo - Piscine Palace (Headman / Robi Insinna Remix) (Paradise Children Recordings)

Robi Insinna is a Producer, DJ, Visual Artist and INDUSTRIA and RELISH owner.

Back in 2001 he founded the seminal Relish label in direct response to a then-dominant 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. Some highlights are IT ROUGH, Birth School Work Death, in the early years for the newer period tracks such as Be Loved, Dechainee. He also was busy remixing the likes of Roxy Music, The Gossip, Franz Ferdinand, The Units, Unknown Cases, Gina X and many more.
Relish has also been busy releasing international talents and remixes such as Daniel Avery, Red Axes, Borusiade, Manfredas.


Fast forward to 2018 he's on the move again launching new Project label, Industria with - not quite an album, not quite an EP - Hard Work. The debut was released under Robi's own name.
Industria will be focused more on vinyl releases, but not solely vinyl. The project will encompass all areas of Robi's work and ties together elements of his art and visual design projects and products.
