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.

RETRO014 - 80s Child - Back to the 80s Volume 2

What do the Human League, Dolly Parton, Lindstrom & the Phenomenal Handclap Band all have in common.......? Ilya Santana has touched them all, with his magical remix fingers, leavin' them supa-high, and rolling on the dancefloor... with just the right touch of chunk.

Now though it's time for the spanish disco wizard's own original productions to shine as he gives us 'Big Foot' on London's Retrospective Recordings, an irrepressibly bubbly slice of cosmic disco that will refresh weary dancefloors like some giant interstellar jacuzzi. 

Remixes come from Santana's fellow spaniards Rayko, Future Feelings and NELUE and Thomas Jackson who liked the track so much he remixed it twice.

Retro015 - Ilya Santana - Big Foot EP

After a storming end to 2014 with the incredible Ilya Santana release in November featuring remixes by Nelue, Future Feelings, Thomass Jackson & Rayko, we released we had set the bar pretty high but Retrospective are back with a monster of a release. We are proud to kick off 2015 with none other than Italy’s finest; Ajello who are back with their second E.P. on the label! 

Eclecticism is definately the keyword word of the Ajello project comprising of Luca (DJ Rocca) Roccatagliati and Fabrizio Taver Tavernelli. The Ajello sound features a number of influences all of which can be heard in the tracks on this, their first E.P. on Retrospective; electro, new-wave, italo-disco, disco, neurofunk, eurodance, space sounds, early house. Over the years their music has received worldwide support from a host of international artists including Laurent Garnier, Erol Alkan, Dimitri From Paris, Andrew Weatherall, and Nick Fanciulli amongst others.

As this is the second E.P. of 2 from Ajello we decided to take the remixes for this project to the next level. First up is Luminodisco of House Of Disco fame, undoubtedly one of Nu Disco’s pioneers with a heritage to match who has reworked Montgomery Clift ready for the main room. The second mix is delivered by none other than YamWho? best known for his Midnight Riot & ISM imprints who delivers a pure Disco groover. Finally for the vinyl release is Retrospective’s own Rayko serving up his “best remix ever” in his own words! In addition, for the digital release Aashton of Aashton & Swift fame brings his signature house flavor to the fold alongside an instrumental of the original for the heads. Quite a package I’m sure you will agree!

RETRO016 - Ajello feat. Jyoti - Montgomery Clift E.P.

After a really busy period with a load of remixes, gigs plus a marathon of studio work it has been really great putting together this mix tape as it's been the first we have done in a while. Over the past few months we have been working on the follow up to One Night A The Disco which in itself has been challenge. We have set our own targets pretty high so many of the projects we have started have wound up as free downloads rather than EP tracks as we want this next release to be really special. 

For the mix tape we chose a few old classics to open up the set & then tried to stay true to the One Night At The Disco concept of choosing killer tracks & re-edits of music over the years that we feel have been seminal records. After the intro that was part of a 25 year documentary about Studio 54 is Conway & Temple. A track we have always loved but have never tried to re-edit because you could argue is pretty perfect anyway. In the same vein is Asso - Don't Stop. I can honestly say that this is my (Ra) favourite boogie track of all time. Just listen to the bass and the pure Italio groove oozing from all angles.Beautiful! I have to say it was fun adding in the Don't Stop accapella in the mix, a little cheesy I know but fun all the same!

Moving onto the re-edits first up is our homeboy from Washington - Trev-Ski. This guy is killer & is so underrated. We have been in discussion with him following his release on All Starrs so Trev is back in the studio burning the midnight oil getting a project ready for the second half of this year that won't disappoint. The Disco Syndicate - West End Girls is pure genius! I have to say that it really makes our day when someone takes a truly great track that you would not expect to be re-edited & does it proud rather than the 10 millionth re-re-re-edit of Melba Moore - Love's Comin' At Ya if you know what I mean! 

The rest of the mix is pretty well a Retrospective showcase with the exception of the the great Get Down Edits - Chic number & the awesome Sunner Soul - Pump It Up. 80's Child is our latest signing & our new secret weapon. Danny has been on our radar for sometime & now that we are working on a new format of artist projects rather than individual release we though now was the time to bring him into the family. Gregg aka Fingerman edits is a legend and we are super proud to have him in the gang too. This guy is similar Rayko in that he's a musical machine but only of the highest quality. Last but by no means least is our own in house superstar - Rayko! Step out of My Dreams is one of the 4 anthems on his latest release on Retrospective out on July 8th. 

As many of the Retrospective tracks are free downloads, make sure you check our website to grab yourself copies! http://retrospectiverecords.com We hope you enjoy listing to our mix as much as we enjoyed making it!

Ilya Santana - Big Foot (Thomass Jackson Remix)

What do the Human League, Dolly Parton, Lindstrom & the Phenomenal Handclap Band all have in common? The answer... Ilya Santana, whose magical remix fingers have lifted all of them to dizzying new heights. Now though it's time for the Spanish disco wizard's own original productions to take centre stage as he joins the Retrospective family giving us a genuine summer anthem, Big Foot.

An irrepressibly bubbly slice of weightless disco sure to refresh weary dance floors like some giant cosmic Jacuzzi, Big Foot’s laidback bleeps and beats finds a very happy place somewhere between the works of Moroder, Vangelis and Todd Terje.

Ensuring Santana’s new single will leave its sizeable footprint all over club land this summer, Retrospective have assembled a crack team of remixers including Retrospective’s own longtime superstar Rayko plus fellow Madrid disco edit king & Moroder Sound Club owner NELUE, Thomas Jackson & Future Feelings.

Since making his debut on Daniel Wang’s Balihu imprint, Santana has gone on to work with some of the most respected labels in the disco scene including Tirk, Permanent Vacation & Gomma. Now making himself comfortable at Retrospective towers his first release for the label is sure to win him a legion of new fans as it soundtracks countless sunsets and sun rises throughout the coming months.

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’.

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’.

RETRO007 - B1 - Ruben & Ra - Everybody Loves Good Music

After 7 snapped up twelves including Ruben &amp; Ra’s breakthrough anthem ‘Newer Shooz’, their viral follow-up ‘Street Machine’ and the Juno chart-topping ‘People‘ by Rayko, the West London-based Retrospective label are set to release their first long-player May 2012. 

Since the imprint’s inception in January 2011, label boss Ra has carefully scoured the nu-disco spectrum to assemble an international roster of like-minded artists. In recent months, in light of the fold’s emergence, Retrospective has steadily been expanding their global network by commissioning tracks from many of the scene’s leading names. For the first in a series of three compilations, ‘Retrospective All-Stars Vol. 1’ is purposed to both commemorate this growing stature, while showcasing the wealth of talent from within the label’s newly extended family.

Comprised of 12 previously unreleased cuts spread across a DJ friendly triple-vinyl pack, the album is opened in fine style by the revered Argentinian Toomy Disco’s first cut for Retrospective, entitled ‘Peppermint’. Montenegro national Fil Lavin, who took the baton for Retro005, provides a trademark lick of deep house, while Glaswegian Slow It Down and Bristolian Jimmy The Twin respectively make their Retrospective debuts to complete the first disc. 

Over on the second disc, Spanish boogie chronicler Rayko, who provided the material for Reto002 and Retro006, joins American Trev-Ski, Londoner Harry Benson (aka Picture House) and the Utrecht-residing Romanian Andrei Idu under his celebrated moniker, The Legendary 1979 Orchestra. Completing the package, Frenchman Art Bleek, the Berlin-based Mudegg, Scotsman Jamie Buchanan (aka 78 Edits) and of course, label figureheads Ruben &amp; Ra all feature on the final disc. 

Retospective All-Stars Vol 1 comes packaged in a limited triple-vinyl pack, with a luxury finish to give this landmark compendium a deserved sense of occasion.

RETRO001 - A1 - Ruben & Ra - Newer Shooz

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!!!!!!

What is there to be said about Ruben & Ra except these two have been lovers of boogie, disco & funk and have been keen record store diggers for too many years to count. With edits, reworks & original productions coming out of their ears, Ruben & Ra have decided to set up the Retrospective label as an output for their tracks. 

Ruben & Ra, Retrospective
