About Fitness Club:

Fitness Club is the dance-floor focused alias of Melbourne's Sinj Clarke and Berlin-based Ziggy Zeitgeist (Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange & 30/70 Collective).

The original concept being an amalgamation of humans and techno machines, the duo have quickly begun carving out a sound for the underground, exploring the depths of house, techno and nu-jazz. Intimate Fitness by Fitness Club is the end result of a year-long international creative partnership. A long-distance alliance creating a sound that has proven as unique as its creators.

This 5-track EP delivers a diverse range of sounds that carefully curate the sonic landscape that is Intimate Fitness - a sophisticated and sexy auditory experience that appeals to the discerning home listener and nocturnal ravers alike.

Originally released in 1990 ‘Voaria’ was written by Benjamin Nhassavele and produced & arranged by the late Tata Sibeko, the revered South African producer and member of Kabasa. Taken from the LP of the same name ‘Voaria’ was released at a time when early house music was emerging as a key influence in the South African musical landscape, an evolvement of the Bubblegum pop sound that had fused disco and boogie with township funk. Characterised by Roland kick drums, Yamaha DX7s and Juno Synthesisers the Kwaito sound is the musical heartbeat of ‘Voaria’. 

As well as being in Novidade, Benjamin toured the world extensively as part of Alec Kaholi’s Umoja and ‘Voaria’ is a song about his desire to go back to Maputo, his hometown in Mozambique. Featuring Benjamin on lead vocals ‘Voaria’ comes in 2 versions, a main House mix on the A side and the Clubhouse mix on the flip which switches up the arrangement placing more emphasis on the groove. The 12” is housed in a full sleeve jacket by Bradley Pinkerton based on the original release design.

Novidade 'Voaria' (Clubhouse Mix)

Whittled down from dozens of live recordings made using a micro freak synthesizer, a volca drum, and a volca bass, synced together using basic CV. A handful of those recordings were then sent to long-time friends and collaborators who live across Canada, in hopes of them contributing any type of vocal sound to be incorporated into the recordings. Then using a walkman, a speaker, and a recorder, their vocal parts were transplanted and re-amplified in various locations in the rural areas surrounding the barn where the songs were created.

Though not all of the vocal contributions received ended up on the official release, their efforts were remarkably creative and equally important to the process. Those in order of appearance are; Laura Da Silva, Carol Graham, Kira Daube, Michelle Kissinger, and Victoria Parker. Long time friend and musical counterpoint, Scott Brailey, now located in Germany, was employed with mastering the final mixes. Constellation Records alumni and Toronto musical aficionado, Craig Dunsmuir (Kanada 70) constructed a reduced remix of a song not included on the release, but was the first song recorded using the same basic gear and head space.

JFM has been at it since 2008, using an SP-404 sampler as a live instrument for cutting and pasting tracks together. Releasing tapes and CDs in limited editions on friends' record labels around Canada, and while living and working in downtown Toronto. A debut 12" LP on Halifax's Divorce Records in 2013 marked the first official JFM release and a relocation back to the East Coast. The period following this transition was a productive one; cassette EPs, compact discs of various sizes, a locked groove 7”, and a slew of b-side compilation contributions both digital and physical were being released on labels around the globe. This release on Cosmic Resonance marks an important departure from using any samples or sampler whatsoever and instead focuses on connecting with talented friends who have influenced and inspired the shape and direction of this EP.

“Days On End” serves as a sonic archive of mid-pandemic moods. Through a collection of live-recorded tracks, it captures a raw, creative burst from Solotape during a period of stripped-down production. Signature rhythm-work and gritty sound design return for this extensive collection, released in two parts.

“I was kind of burnt out on music early during the pandemic - everyone at my house was suddenly home all the time and I never had any alone time to work on it. Eventually, I ended up renting a shared rehearsal spot nearby in San Francisco. My audio interface was still at home when I first moved in there, so I didn't have a way to digitally record. I brought my tape deck instead and pressed record when things started sounding good.”

“My whole setup was pretty basic with less instruments than I usually have. There was a sort of simplicity to making stuff that I think was good for me. I was just excited to work on music again, and wasn’t obsessing over the technicalities. I didn’t have any particular plans for what I was recording, and just set the tapes aside for a while. I had forgotten most of what I had recorded by the time I returned to them months later. I didn’t know what to expect once I listened back and essentially rediscovered all of the material like it was new. The tapes felt like a physical little time capsule of an earlier period. After I realized that I liked what I had made, I dubbed the tapes to digital and made some edits to clean them up. Almost everything from the three tapes is included here.”

Despite this simplified approach (or perhaps because of it), Solotape has created a body of work that is full of excitement, joy, and playfulness, as well as frustration, catharsis, and dread. At times rambling, at others immediate and visceral, it resembles a series of vignettes, tied together through a common tonal palette and form rather than emotional valence. “Days On End” strikes a balance of raw emotion and analog textures, providing an honest snapshot into the artist's internal world.
