Big hug your mates feel good JAM this *Wags finger whilst dancing.

Where is our guest DJ taking us today in musical history? New York, 1978? The French Riviera in the early 00s? Detroit in the mid-80s?

There have been iconic scenes abound in Dance music's colorful past, and today our good friend Steve Obi is taking us right back to Madchester's summer of love in 1988. 

Beefed up disco basslines hidden behind bars of gorgeous tribal percussion, with smatterings of acid and Hip-Hop breaks. It was an iconic year where House jetted across the pond, arriving in Europe and being changed forever. What was a niche underground genre in America would become the defining sound of the following decade for most of the Old World. So, sit back or jump and get involved in the most pulsating history lesson you've ever had.

No Bad Days with Hollick - January 2021

Following the success of Special Touch - Garden of Life, Heels & Souls Recordings kick off their 12” reissue series with an EP of digger delights from Frankfurt’s under-the-radar production trio of Manfred Holz, Michael Buchner and Jürgen Blömke, complete with a balearic remix from London duo, Good Block.

One side contains the instantly absorbing, late '80s electro nugget, 'Steal It An’ Deal It', from the aptly named The Soundstealers. Cruisin the slow lane at 100BPM, an idiosyncratic blend of samples, sound effects and percussive flourishes, underpinned by chest rumbling bassweight, guarantees dancefloor bedlam whether drawing for the dance or dub mix. 

On the flip you’re treated to obscure acid chugger ‘Amazonia’. Originally created for the opening credits of a ‘90s German nature documentary ‘Wunder Wildnis’ (seriously), the breakbeat-driven dance mix stomps through the undergrowth, acidic arps and pan flutes fizzing across the forest canopy. Heels & Souls pass the baton to London’s Good Block for the home stretch, the tropical twosome reworking the bassline and sprinkling some synth wizardry for a remix that grooves off over the horizon. 

These hard-to-find, pricey gems have been fully licensed from the trio, with weighty remasters courtesy of Cicely Balston. 20% of profits from Heels & Souls Recordings and Prime Direct Distribution will be donated to Papyrus, a UK charity dedicated to the prevention of young suicide.
