80's Child - Dreamer - (80's Child Pumped up Groove)

Released on 12" Vinyl & Digital Download

After an idyllic summer spent playing on beaches and under the stars the Retrospective camp return with Back top the 80’s Vol.1, the first official release from rising star of the edit-scene, and Warrington’s finest, 80′s Child aka Danny Worrall.

Raised by his parents on a strict diet of Toto, Prince, Michael McDonald, Hall & Oates, Michael Jackson and the like, Danny returned to those formative sounds having lost interest in the mainstream house sound in the early ‘00s.

Inspired by the productions of fellow dusty fingered archivists such as Greg Wilson, Late Nite Tuff Guy, Get Down Edits, Tiger & Woods, 78 Edits and of course Retrospective’s own Ruben & Ra, Danny’s edits have grown wilder as he’s experimented, extended and completely re-worked into some of the hottest club edits around over the past 12 months.

Having established himself on the nu-disco & edit scene, and supplied one of the standout tracks for Yam Who?’s recent Midnight Riot album, Retrospective are proud to release his first official solo release, the 4 track Back top the 80’s Vol.1 EP, a record that, as the name suggests, displays an unmistakable love for that decades brand of disco and boogie.

To be released on 12” vinyl and as two digital singles, Danny takes 4 original boogie joints and delivers them the definitive 80’s Child work-over, giving a new lease of life to both some much loved classics and some hard to find gems.

80's Child - Best Of Me - (80'S CHILD REWORK)

Coming straight off the back of two well-thumbed EPs, Ruben &amp; Ra welcome Spanish boogie chronicler Rayko to their West London-based Retrospective imprint for Retro003. 

Ra: “we just had to reach out to Rayko after he sent us his edits of Dazz Band’s ‘Let It Whip’ and ‘Contagious’ by The Whispers”.

Over on the flip, Madrid’s finest has given Evelyn ‘Champagne’ King’s 1982 classic ‘Love Come Down’ a modern rework, plus completing the package Ruben &amp; Ra have added their version.

Who said the spirit of house music was dead?

RETRO003 - B1 - Rayko - Love Come Down (Ruben & Ra Remix)

With only a few weeks to go to the second E.P. of 2 from Ajello Retrospective is back with another FREE download from Ruben & Ra in the run up to one of our hottest releases EVER!

Linx - You're Lying (Ruben & Ra's LateNite edit)- FREE Download!

After bringing Spanish boogie don Rayko to their increasingly watched Retrospective fold for ‘Retro003’, the still unmasked Ruben &amp; Ra emerge once again from the looming shadow of Trellick Tower with another 4-tracker. 
Dedicating the A-side to the golden era of stateside electro, ‘Street Machine’ lifts samples from Break Machine’s East Coast anthem ‘Street Dance’, while ‘Moving On’ pays homage to the Californian soul of Ollie &amp; Jerry’s iconic ‘There’s No Stoppin Us’ from ‘84. 

Over on the flip, the Sun is shining brightly with two poolside jams in the form of ‘Do You Need My Love?’ and the EP’s secret weapon ‘Island Living’.

Disco Is The Message #5 w/ Venice Beach

Hitting the ground running in 2012 Ruben &amp; Ra are taking a break from the studio for the first full artist release on Retrospective. Who’s capable hands better to choose for this one than our in house hero Rayko? After bringing Fil Lavin to the ever-growing Retrospective fold for RETRO005 – Soul Brother, featuring Ruben &amp; Ra’s Souled Out Dub, Rayko is back with a 4 tracker of edits, which are sure to please. 

Already causing a storm on floors across the globe People (Rayko birthday edit) harps back to the sounds of the 80’s with big synths, a hypnotic groove &amp; a bassline that can’t be resisted. Showing his true colours, Rayko delivers a dubbed out edit of The O’Jays – Heads Together with a full vocal version being this release’s FREE 320k download available on SoundCloud. On the flip is Revue bringing some house infused retro boogie swing to the E.P. before a Rayko trademark re-interpretation of Unlimited Touch - Searching To Find The One.

One could say that 2011 was Rayko’s year with his hit Broadway being recently announced as the No.1 disco track of 2011 on Juno, but we think that this is just the beginning for him with bigger things to come. Born in the Canary Islands, Rayko is a producer and DJ deeply influenced by the artists and sounds of the 70's and 80's. These influences led him to launch his own label; Rare Wiri in the summer of 2008, gaining immediate critical acclaim with it's first release making Record of the Week at Manchester's highly regarded Piccadilly Records. Rayko has an impressive portfolio of releases under his belt and has an almost insatiable thirst for editing both classics and lost gems in his distinctive and infectious style. Rayko is also an artist central to the Retrospective All Starrs project, which will feature a variety of names from the slowed down house and nu disco scene. Keep your eyes peeled for a series of double 12" albums &amp; download packs with tracks by current &amp; future Retrospective artists.

RETRO006 - A1 - Rayko - People (Rayko birthday edit)

After the success of Rayko’s Juno chart topping ‘People’ EP (Retro006), Retrospective label heads Ruben &amp; Ra step back into the breach for the label’s 7th release.

For their 4th outing on the label they came to notoriety on, the West London-based duo came up with the concept of selecting their favorite stateside disco cuts from between 1980 and 1985 and reworking them into 4 entirely new tracks. 

Already gathering hype, ‘When I’m Feelin’ borrows from Geraldine Hunt’s watershed 1980 classic ‘Can’t Fake The Feeling’, while ‘My Love’ samples the Malibu-based producer Ned Doheny’s ‘To Prove My Love’ from ’81. 

Over on the flipside, the soul-injected ‘Everybody Loves Good Music’ pays homage to the Dayton’s Capitol Records-signed ‘The Sound Of Music’ from ’83, with a boogie jam entitled ‘All Night’ inspired by Inner Life &amp; Jocelyn Brown’s 1984 anthem ‘Moment Of My Life’ completing the package. 

As is always the case with a Retrospective EP, there’s a 320k FREE download and this time it's the sunshine electro-funk of ‘Everybody Loves Good Music’.

We have been watching 80's Child for quite some time & now we are proud to have him join the Retrospective extended family!

You would be excused for thinking that 80's Child was raised at the legendary Zero 6 nightclub in Southend On Sea, but no, Warrington homeboy UK Producer Danny Worrall is a true Child of the 80’s. Born in 1980 Danny's parents played a huge part in his first musical influences, listening to the likes of Toto, Prince, Michael McDonald, Hall'n'Oates and Michael Jackson to name a few. 

To find this sound Danny went back and revisited his musical youth and the special feelings and memories that this created, listening closely to artists such as Hall & Oates, Stevie Wonder, Alexander O’Neal, Evelyn Champagne King and many more ….. this in turn was everything he needed and more to rekindle his love and passion for the industry and the music. 

Whilst researching his new sound further, he was introduced to Soundcloud where he discovered other aspiring and established artists such as Greg Wilson, Late Nite Tuff Guy, Ruben & Ra, Get Down Edits, Tiger & Woods and 78 Edits who incorporated the same styles and direction that he was pursuing himself. This changed his outlook completely and he began to experiment producing his own extended edits leading to full reworks of tracks that hold a massive place in his heart.

 THIS WAS THE BIRTH OF THE 80s CHILD!!!!!!

To kick off the 80's Child project Danny is our featured FREE Download of the week. Just post it to your Facebook or Tweet it & the track is yours in it's full WAV glory! What could be simpler?
