The Upload

Not sure why I never uploaded this here in all this time, but it came out on vinyl now and it reminded me to finally get it up on here.

The edit also features in this mix of mine: https://soundcloud.com/disco-frisco/disco-frisco-guest-mix-tom-bolas-camp-cosmic-2019-tune-by-tune-mix-re-recorded

Guestlist Of Love (Tom Bolas Edit)

part of the first 12" vinyl release on @smuttyedits

Edit of an Austrian promotional record that was too short and had some horrific and annoying vocals

A1 - Bel Étage (Tom Bolas Edit)

https://utopiarecordsinc.bandcamp.com/album/manabu-nagayama-soichi-terada-low-tension

This highly sought after version of Low Tension originally released on the 'La Ronde' EP on BPM Records Japan in 1991, has been remastered for single release for the first time. Also features a stripped back rework by cult Japanese producer Yukihiro Fukutomi and Alexander Bradley himself with an extended deep, dubby and melodic Utopian mix. The mythical deep house works of Japanese producers such as Nagayama and Terada have become folklore with the latter's production for Nami Shimada entitled 'Sunshower' (featuring Larry Levan mix) his most recognized work. Pressed Loud and Limited on a 180 gram vinyl 12" with its original beautiful stunning artwork on a full picture sleeve - all the trimmings by Phonica / Vinyl Factory London. We hope you enjoy this timeless record for years to come.

A long time operator in Stockholm's small but insistent underground music scene, Art Alfie broke through internationally in 2012 with the Karlovak project, founded with on-off studio and dj partner Rudolf Nordström, a.k.a. Mr. Tophat. The duo's inexplicably fresh takes on classic dance music tropes were as much a result of a brilliantly odd pairing of personalities as of a defined concept and precise method in searching for the perfect house groove.

While writing Reveries Of, released February 2017 through Studio Barnhus, Art Alfie freed himself of all conceptual footholds, delving instead deep into his archives of old and new memories and feels, working with improptu field recordings and emotionally-guided sampling processes. He came back with an intricate and personal debut album and you better believe he didn't lose that groove on his way.

Salty Tears

After numerous successful records on Ron Trent's "Future Vision" label, Volcov's "Neroli", DeepArtsound, Perpetual Rhythms, Osunlade's "Yoruba", and many others - "About U" is Trinidadian Deep's first release for Croatian label Burek.

Born and raised on the island of Trinidad and Tobago, today a place this producer calls "home" is found on various locations scattered all over the globe and a variety of influences is what is immediately evident by rich sounds and textures engraved onto this piece of vinyl.

A side, "I Want" is the most laid-back moment, in lack of a better term. Warm-sounding tribal percussions supporting the interaction of deep chords and wonderfully lush synths running thought the whole track only to get enriched with a beautiful piano line in the 2nd half. If there is track fitting to represent the sunset, that transition from day to night moment - "I Would" is the one.

B1 "Ghost" is the track on the record with the most forward-momentum. Deep tribal rhythms and lush synth lines are a sort-of a leitmotif on this record and are present here as well, with an occasional vocal snippet that only deepens the magic.

B2 "Abourisha" makes good use of those leitmotifs in a similarly effective but overall quite different manner. Broken rhythm gives it a slightly different energy, making it an ideal track for those 5 am moments when a track like this marks the night.

I Want

Extended edit of an impossibly rare Austrian 7". I am not planning on releasing or sharing it however, sorry!

Derry - Aerobic Sound (Tom Bolas B-side extension edit)

Different parts from 4 tracks of this LP pulled together into one long re-edit of Egyptian disco without all the folky Bellydance bits in between.

Khamis Henkesh - El Disco (Tom Bolas Re-Edit)

Winner of a song contest run by a German underwear and bathing suit company in 1984. The prize was the production of a song with professional musicians - namely this very song. Judging by her rapping skills, the competition must have been a little on the weak side of things... 😆 It needed some seriously cheesy Schlager bits removed and more of the electronic good stuff. Enjoy!

Pop Sensation by Orgasmo Sonore

Edit of a Nigerian uptempo disco banger with a nice synthline that once formed a beatless break, causing dancers to stop and wonder what happened. Needed a more continuous flow for danceability

Meeting Abdel Halim Hafez- Al Touba (عبد الحليم حافظ - التّوبة)

Here is an edit made of the first minute and a half or so of an East German discowave track that in its original form completely changed mid-way through, into a not so enjoyable Rock song, absolutely ruining the vibe.

This is on a 4 track edits EP that has been released on Violette Szabo label in March of 2023. See the full track list here: https://soundcloud.com/tombolas/sets/new-edit-ep-coming-out-on
