Release Spirit

3 pz

Magic Ritmo returns with their second release, a highly demanded reissue of ‘G.F.X. - Eternal’ originally released in 1990.

Shrouded in mystery, the record has gained cult status among veteran ravers, record collectors and those who are allured by the spiritual and ethereal quality the record embodies. Magic Ritmo is delighted to lift the cloak and share the story of the record and artist through a fully licensed and remastered release.

G.F.X. is the alias of Geoff Waterston, a musician, producer and engineer from the coastal town of Whitley Bay, North East England. G.F.X. was born from a youth spent tampering with electronics, taping drum beats off the radio and resourcefully discovering his creativity. Performing originally locally, G.F.X. quickly became a name spotted on the line up of many acid house nights that were popping up across the North east, as the area began to receive their first transfusion of acid house.

Often hidden away from the archives documenting this time, the North East of England was a pivotal and culturally rich scene amongst the acid house movement. Most prominently, and fondly spoken of, was Middlesbrough’s ‘Butter Loggie’, a bizarre sounding party that grew to crowds as big 10,000 youths partying at the Herlingshaw Centre in Eston, a community centre by day and place of pilgrimage by night for those eager to experience the beginning of acid house. G.F.X. performed regularly at the Butter Loggie and recalls the impact and ferality of the event, a wild and loose party where the soundsystem shook through your bones. These early experiences provided Geoff with his first glimpses of spirituality, which provided much of the inspiration behind the EP’s title track ‘Eternal’.

The story and legacy of ‘Eternal’ lives on, remastered and reimagined through the lens of Magic Ritmo. Limited 500 copies. 180g vinyl including inserts.

We would like to thank Geoff and Zara for their trust in us and allowing us the honour of putting this important piece of culture back into the world.

"Eternal was a snapshot of a time when an opening up of alternative lifestyles, spirituality, political activism and music were creating an overall sense of freedom and separation from mainstream society.
And for the first time in my life, I felt a sense of peace and belonging that I had never experienced before and that's where eternal emerged from"

“‘Eternal’ has been with me for over 30 years. From the airwaves of “Wear FM” and “Happy Houses” of Sunderland in 1991, to the sunsets of Bali and back to the “Suono” Bank Holiday parties in The Tanners, Newcastle. Around the world, for an out of this world, piece of music.” - Antony Daly, 586 Records

“I used to play GFX some years ago. This track is supreme! I love all the textures and the arrangement is very emotional and beauty. I’m very happy for this reissue. Congrats!“ - Paula Tape

“Both in and of its time and existing 'eternally', both this beautiful downtempo cut and the almost Crimewatch meets Belgian New Beat of 'The Chill' has recently seen it in demand across the world. I'm very happy to see it get a new lease of life and since first hearing it there has always been an interesting sense of false nostalgia attached to it for me, as if it is hard not to associate Geoff's music with those childhood surroundings and the experiences of rave and electronic dance music that were yet to come after I'd left.”
- Fergus Clark, 12th Isle

IB013 // 11xxx27 - Black Market Ep
[Cassette/Digital]
Out on December 21

11xxx27 returns on Infidel Bodies with a new tape release 'Black Market'.
A dense mix of noise/ambient textures and hints of primordial electronic sounds give birth to an EP with a strong isolationist and reflective character towards the current technological domination.
"Domination of technology" refers to the devious control of every aspect of our lives (social media, surveillance, data mining, fake news, etc.).
It is a controversial and aberrant space of confrontation where recognizing whether we are fruitors or slaves of technology becomes complicated.

Black Market is a mostly ambient/experimental album inspired by unusual combinations and spatial properties of audio.
Samplers, field recording, synthesizers and sound processing are the tools of 11xxx27, which engages in a subversive process to illustrate its vision of the modern world.
Mystics, LKSMN and Mod21 also take part in the project with featuring and reinterpretations, enriching the sound flow of Black Market.


Tracklist:
A1. At the end of time (Pleasure) 
A2. Oblivion feat. Mystics 
A3. Be the worst you can be feat. LKSMN [Tape Only]
