The legend strikes back! Dimitri from Paris was the first DJ to pioneer house music in France in the late 80ies and became world famous with his album "Sacrebleu" in 1996. He is one of the godfathers of the "french touch" and a cult figure with dance music connoisseurs. His "Philly" and Disco compilations on BBE, Defected and Salsoul are essential and "A Night At The Playboy Mansion" (Virgin) charted in Mixmag's top 100 of best compilations ever. He remixed Björk, the Cardigans, James Brown, New Order and Quincy Jones! Dimitri teamed up with Italian DJ Rocca and Italian Cult singer Fred Ventura to create this 4 track EP for Gomma. Inspired by late 80ies/early 90ies hiphouse and electroboogie. These tracks are pure dancefloor burners. DJ Rocca (also a part of Ajello, Crimea X, Supersonic Lovers) is one of the key figures in the new Itaian House scene. Not only is he a classically trained flutist featured on "Downtown", he is also remixing for Classic, Rekids, International Feel, Modular, Luke Solomon, Blaze, Isolee, Pete Herbert and many more.

Peter Jacques band was an Italian Disco band, created by French-Italian-American businessman Jacques Fred Petrus (1949–1986) and songwriter and producer Mauro Malavasi (1958-). They released three albums all reaching minor success but most of all opened up the US market for Italian made disco. The albums were, "Fire Night Dance" in 1978, "Welcome Back" in 1979 and "Dancing In The Street" in 1985.

Peter Jacques Band - This Night

AIN’T NO WAY is a gritty, off-grid Earl Sweatshirt x MIKE type beat, drawing influence from the underground spirit of Some Rap Songs, Beware of the Monkey, and Weight of the World. With hazy textures, filtered soul samples, and dusty percussion, this beat feels like a lost cassette tape from a Brooklyn basement.

Inspired by the likes of Earl Sweatshirt, MIKE, Navy Blue, MAVI, and Maxo, it’s perfect for poetic rap, stream-of-consciousness bars, and deeply introspective verses.

Ain't No Way (Instrumental)

Alright, babies... listen up. The floor is old, the mirrors are steamed, but the dream... the dream is brand new. Studio 54 is flashin' upstairs, but down here... down here, we *make* the flash. So... let's find the groove. From the top. And... hit it.


Basement deep below the neon light
Mirrors foggy in the pale, yellow night
Floorboards creakin' with a tired soul
But the beat is hot, and we're takin' control
The maestro's voice, a low, steady hum
Says "Forget the tired, the new day has come!"
She's seen it all, from disco to now
Got sweat on her brow and fire in her brow


She claps her hands, a sound like a gun
"One more time, 'til the victory's won!
I don't see no pain, I see poetry!
So find the one, and then you'll be free!"


**Move your body!** (Move it now!)
Shake the dust down from the rafters!
**Move your body!** (Can you feel it?)
Let the rhythm answer all your questions!
From the soles of your feet to the top of your head!
**Move your body!** 'Til the past is dead!


Young bloods movin', a river of grace
Every turn, every step finds its place
Muscles burnin' with a righteous fire
Pushin' closer to their heart's desire
A young man leaps, a woman spins fast
Tryin' to make a moment, a feeling that lasts
Through the ache and the strain, through the doubt and the fear
The funk is the truth, and the truth is right here


She claps her hands, "Y'all almost there!
Put your soul into it, show me you care!
The spotlight's waitin', but first you pay dues
In the sweat of this basement, you find the real news!"


**Move your body!** (Move it now!)
Shake the dust down from the rafters!
**Move your body!** (Can you feel it?)
Let the rhythm answer all your questions!
From the soles of your feet to the top of your head!
**Move your body!** 'Til the past is dead!


The city sleeps... but down below...
A hundred heartbeats, steady and slow.
The ghost of disco whispers in the air,
A legacy of rhythm beyond compare.
She smiles a little, sees the future in their eyes,
A generation ready for their own surprise.
"This ain't just dancin'!" she cries out to the room,
"This is the power that makes the flowers bloom!"

**(Instrumental Break - A killer saxophone solo, raw and energetic, over a tight, relentless groove. You can hear the dancers' feet shuffling and occasional shouts of encouragement.)**

**MOVE YOUR BODY!** (MOVE IT NOW!)
SHAKE THE DUST DOWN FROM THE RAFTERS!
**MOVE YOUR BODY!** (CAN YOU FEEL IT?)
LET THE RHYTHM ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS!
FROM THE SOLES OF YOUR FEET TO THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD!
**MOVE YOUR BODY!** 'TIL THE PAST IS DEAD!

Move it... work it...
Feel that funk and don't you shirk it...
(Yeah... that's it... that's the one right there.)
The floor is yours now, babies... take it on home.

Move your body!

Kalita Records are proud and honoured to announce the first ever official reissue of the four choice tracks from Randolph Baker's privately pressed sought-after 1982 disco album 'Reaching For The Stars', plus an unreleased instrumental take of 'Party Life' sourced from the original 24-track analogue master tapes.

Originally recorded at Jim Morris and Rick Miller's Tampa-based Morrisound Studios, 'Getting Next To You' features both a mixture of both local Florida talent plus jazz superstar Nat Adderley and bassist John Lamb at their finest. Originally pressed in a limited run of just one-thousand copies, with no distribution and most copies being sold in the local city and on Randolph's own merchandise table at the back of live gigs, original copies have long been sought-after by both collectors and DJs alike, acknowledged as a true grail and masterpiece in the disco scene and deservedly demanding extortionate figures to those lucky enough to find their own.

Here, in collaboration with Randolph, Kalita Records have chosen to re-release the four choice tracks from the album: 'Getting Next To You', 'Jazzman', 'Callin' Me' and 'Party Life'. The former is an in-demand horn and chant-filled disco masterpiece, which, as Randolph explains, concerns unity and "everyone on the same level in other words, everyone just loving life". It is arguably the song that Randolph is most well-known for in the disco and funk scene and perfect for the modern discerning dance floor. 'Jazzman' is an instrumental track with prominent trumpet and saxophone solos working with funky basslines to produce a truly great jazz-funk groove. It was "a tribute to Nat Adderley and Duke Ellington's bass player, John Lamb, for being so generous and saying yes to the project". 'Callin' Me' is a soulful disco number featuring the lead vocals of Laurie Erickson and is "about being on the road and ensuring loved ones that you will always come back home no matter what. It was like a promise to ensure loved ones they didn't have to worry". Lastly, 'Party Life' is a joyous disco track with a strong funk bassline and horns. As Randolph recalls, it "was the joy like after an actor finishes a movie. There was nothing but joy. It's finished; let's celebrate big time. Where everyone in the studio yelled at the top of their lungs - The End!" Here, with access to the 24-track master tapes we have been able to include the original version plus an unreleased instrumental take, allowing us to focus on the infectious bassline and make it even more ready for the modern dance floor. 

Accompanied by extensive interview-based liner notes and never-before-seen photos.
