Beat it with a stick and call it a party!!!

The story begins with the original track ‘Back To The Streets’ by Rudy Norman, first out on a 7” as the B side to lead track – ‘Harmony’ in 1980 on New Day Records. It has long been a killer cult cut known in collector circles, with the opening solo Rhodes becoming a sample for underground producers far and wide. It was included on a couple of comps along the way, Late Night Tales Presents After Dark - Nocturne (2015) curated by Bill Brewster, and on Seafaring Strangers - Private Yacht (2017). Rudy Norman got in touch with The @flying-mojito-bros out of the blue as he was into their work and he was keen for them to rework the track.

The Flying Mojito Bros are two disco mescoleros pioneering the great electronic wilderness. With their boots firmly planted in dusty seventies sunsets, their productions take cosmic country rock and funk to modern day dancefloors via New York Latin Disco and Acid house. Think the first summer of love meeting the second, where Crosby, Stills and Nash meet at the Haçienda, The Doors dance at Shoom, where The Orb meets Woodstock, and you’ll be in the right sonic space. These acid cowboys are producer and musician Ben Chetwood, and DJ and collector Jack Sellen, their disco-house-gone-country sound turning crowds loose in clubs, desert dances, late-night festival tents at Glastonbury and around the pool at Pikes.

On this release The Flying Mojito Bros have worked their magic on this cult AOR gem, and in the words of Rudy Norman himself “They’ve brought ‘Back To The Streets’ to the future”. Mastered for the first time on 12” vinyl alongside official remixes commissioned by the artist, in a package to please lovers of glistening disco reworks and those would love to bag a copy of the original. On the digital package, these new versions will resonate with a world that wants to get back out there and bond meaningfully with others. The artwork is a colourful and cosmic reimagining of the original cover art via illustrator Nick Potts, reflecting the bros’ transportation of Rudy’s West Coast vibe into one of their own Southwestern desertscape settings.

This is our personal version of the beautiful song by Sir Paul McCartney. This is how "Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five" has always sounded like in our minds - hope you like it.

[NOTE FROM HARRISON FJORD: this is an older version of "I Am Spartacus". I have since renamed myself to Super Hans. You can find a link to the newer version by clicking "Buy"]

"I Am Spartacus" marks the first official release by Harrison Fjord. It also marks the launch of Starkiller Records. (This track was originally recorded by Fjord's alter ego, The Starkiller, but something happened. It's complicated. The original might be available somewhere as a reminder not to do mastering with crappy headphones)

This slow stomping cosmic disco tune with an acid aftertaste hearkens back to the heroic days of Rome and is guaranteed to raise a rebellious army of insurgent disco slaves!

Gospelhouse from heaven! Yes - this is a very special record: NYC's Phenomenal Handclap Band meets London's Ray Mang - the psychedelic soul disciples meet the disco champ by way of remix. Ray Mang is a hero to fans of underground disco: remixer, collector, producer, DJ - he is part of that magic circle of London DJ connoisseurs around DJ Harvey. He has the magic disco touch, and has applied it to great effect to PHB's 'Judge Not'. He did a fresh, new take on house-heavy gospel disco that is sure to fill any dancefloor. Try it! 

For those who don't know New York's almost legendary band: The Phenomenal Handclap Band is led by producer Daniel Collás, and consists of some of New York's finest new soul & disco musicians. Some of them used to play in the Amy Winehouse band and others can be heard on some of Mark Ronson's productions. Their biggest moment was when they released their single '15 to 20' some years ago (on Gomma Records) and Paul McCartney wrote them a letter about how much he loved that song when he heard it on BBC Radio 1. On 'Judge Not' they come up with dazzling piano lines, a deep rare funk rhythm section, and a street corner gospel choir that brings you to your feet. Ray Mang heard the original version of this song and was hyped to become involved in the remix, and the pairing is complementary to say the least.
