Title: DIE FOR YOU / A BROKEN HEART
Label: UNTZ UNTZ RECORDS
Format(s): LIMITED 12″ RED VINYL
Release Date: 20/05/2011

TRACK LISTING
A1. Rayko – Die For You
B1. The Glue – A Broken Heart

DESCRIPTION
This much hyped Rayko track gets a super cool 12″ split-release with the romantic newcomers The Glue on the flip. Believe the hype, this is a monster!
Untz Untz unleash their third release, and this time its a shiny red love disc.
First up is the spanish edit don Rayko, known from releases on labels such as Eskimo, Kojak Giant Sounds, Lumberjacks In Hell… and of course his own Rare Wiri label. He is known for crunching out 2-3 great edits every week. This edit must really have struck a chord with the Untz Untz guys leading to them begging on their knees for it the same day it appeared on his Soundcloud. On his ‘Die For You’ edit he slaps on a old school disco bassline on top of the purple smurf that we all love. Resulting in taking him straight to the club peak-time, saturday night style. This is made for a dancefloor!

On the flip we see the slow-mo-house-disco duo The Glue. Little is known about these mystic newcomers other than that they are based in Bergen, Norway and that they are very much into r’n'b and soul music. This edit came about after finding it in a box of 600 7″s from the 80s/90s that they bought for almost nothing at a flea market. On the ‘A Broken Heart’ edit they are carefully building up a cosy mood before dropping in the vocals half-way through this 9 minute heartbreaking song. And then finishing it of with a man softly cooing ‘I Love You, Don’t Ever Break My Heart’. Lets hope its not true that: A Broken Heart Can’t Mend.

The 12" has gotten thumbs up from among others:

Greg Wilson (UK) - "Nice release. Wouldn't mind a wav of the Rayko track"

Dr Dunks aka Eric Duncan (Rub N Tug/Still Going/DFA/NYC) - "Sound great!"

Sleazy Beats Recordings - "Slice of pure loveliness. Have a listen, and tell me - how can you just not love this?"

Duff Disco (UK) - "I like 'A Broken Heart'  nice edit there!"

Touchsoul (UK) - "Where to start. Rayko is on fire with this release. A mix Prince should be proud of and Alexander O'Neal's early 80's soul groover sublimely done to great slow mo disco effect by The Glue. Will be getting play from me and well worth the purchase..."

Dirk (Mindless Boogie/Smile) - "Aaahh, Killer edits!"

Juno Records (UK) - "Complementing the growling arpeggios of Rayko is The Glue, whose B Side bomb is strictly for the lovers!"

Piccadilly Records (UK) - "Untz Untz come up with two monster reworks back to back, and on red vinyl too! It's a big hurrah that these peeps still believe in vinyl, so make sure you grab a copy quick."

Our Lips Are Sealed - Pezas 'No - Ones Listening' Edit

Here’s the second of the reworks I’ve recently put together with Henry Greenwood. This time it’s a brooding Balearic treasure from the late-‘70s, recorded by a group who experienced a fleeting moment of fame with this pop/rock treat and its addictive downtempo dance beat. It’s these qualities we’ve tried to enhance, making the track more contemporary for DJs to play out now, whilst retaining the distinctive essence of the original.

Before we set about the rework, I played it last year as my final track when I appeared at Glitterbox in Hi! Ibiza (I’m back this year for the closing party on Sept 28th). It was after hearing how well this worked as my Glitterbox finale (mix here: https://soundcloud.com/glitterboxibiza/greg-wilson-glitterbox-hi-ibiza-150917) that I approached Henry, who has a wonderful feel for downtempo grooves, to work on an update with me. Anyhow, I think it’s definitely mission accomplished, feedback since I’ve been playing it extremely positive.

Released on EMI’s progressive label, Harvest, in 1978, Marshall Hain’s ‘Dancing In The City’ was a huge UK hit, reaching #3 on the singles chart, as well as scoring big in Europe, Australia and South Africa, and just missing out on the US top 40. 

The duo behind the track, keyboardist Julian Marshall and vocalist/bassist Kit Hain had met as pupils at Dartington Hall School in Totnes, Devon, just a few years beforehand, but their success would be short-lived. A follow-up, ‘Coming Home’, was less memorable, just about scraping into the top 40 before, as with the band itself, completely vanishing from the pop realm, indifference to their album, ‘Free Ride’, the final nail in the coffin.

Marshall would become a member of The Flying Lizards, whose oddball post-punk/avant-garde cover of the R&B classic, ‘Money (That’s What I Want)’, released on Virgin, went top 5 in 1979, before forming Eye To Eye, who released 2 albums for Warner Bros. in the early-‘80s. Hain pursued a solo career, recording the albums ‘Spirits Walking Out’ for Deram (1981) and ‘School For Spies’ for Mercury (1983), before subsequently moving to the US and turning her attention to songwriting.

Talking Heads ‘Psycho Killer’ (greg wilson edit)

118 bpm

Previously limited DJ only vinyl / CD 2007.

Pressed in 2007 as ‘Gotta Tape I Wanna Play', I originally put this together for my US debut in October 2005, at APT in NYC – recording here:
http://soundcloud.com/gregwilson/first-time-in-nyc-apt-21-10-05 

I was a big fan of ‘Stop Making Sense’, the Talking Heads concert from 1984, which was released as both a film and an album. It starts with David Byrne on an empty stage with just a ghetto blaster and acoustic guitar, performing one of the band’s best-known tracks, ‘Psycho Killer, which was originally released in 1977. The beats, courtesy of a Roland TR-808 drum machine, re-appear in extended form over the closing credits. The idea of an edit was there from the moment I bought ‘Stop Making Sense’ on VHS back in the 80’s, but the sound quality from the video wouldn’t have been up to scratch. However, when it was released on DVD later down the line, this was no longer a problem, and I was able to let the beats run on their own for a couple of minutes before the guitar enters and the track really kicks in.

The edit took off in a big way for me, and later with DJ’s including Andrew Weatherall and Optimo. It subsequently became a major festival tune for me and featured in my Essential Mix in 2009 (http://soundcloud.com/gregwilson/essential-mix-greg-wilson-mix-for-bbc-radio-1). More recently it appeared on my Festival Anthems mix (http://soundcloud.com/gregwilson/greg-wilson-festival-anthems), and given this, I thought it was a good time to share here.

There’s more info about ‘Stop Making Sense’ on the blog, as this was last month’s featured album:
