Like It Is

We started ‘The Classic Series’ featuring tracks that we love, bought, played out and which we have the feeling more people should know about them.

For this first edition, It is a great honor for us to welcome such a living legend, a pioneer from the Chicago House scene: Mr K Alexi Shelby ! At the age of 12 he was already moving in the right circles, befriending Frankie Knuckles and Ron Hardy whilst frequenting the famous Warehouse. His upbringing in Chicago in the 70s and 80s meant that he was exposed to a range of genres and different styles of music including Stevie Wonder, Prince, Curtis Mayfield and David Huff. These same names would prove to be the roots of his influences.

This projet includes two classic and timeless moments of Chicago house & techno music. On A side :  ‘K’ Alexi’s Vertigo’, a massive, rare and very demand acid track from K-Alexi. Released in 1989 on legendary Transmat records, already play by major players like Robert Hood, Derrick May, Dj Rolando, Mike Huckaby or Martyn.

On B Side :  ‘You Get Down’, previously released in 1997 on his Nepenta Lp ‘Brings You Absolute Power’, a new edit here called ‘U Get Down’. A real piece of Chicago Jackin’ House !.  
LIMITED EDITION, VINYL ONLY !

Folamour represents the present and future sounds of the disco/house hybrid, staying true to the Glitterbox sonic philosophy. His tracks share the same production values as the timeless records from classic disco imprints in the late 70s; melodies are super-tightly harmonised, instrumentation is lively and the rhythms are designed purely for dance. ‘The Power and The Blessing of Unity’ is almost a mini album, exploring all the facets of Folamour’s sophisticated house and disco tendencies. The title track sparkles with brass stabs and a textbook swinging disco beat, ‘Island Of Recent Father’ breaks things down into synthy house goodness, ‘Let’s Grab Some Smokes’ channels a more contemporary low-fi sound and bringing it home with ‘Home Beyond The Clouds’, Folamour closes with uplifting house hooks and percussion. It’s a real trip.
