Sapho - Carmel (Tom Bolas Edit)

Having surfaced last year from the Western Australian coastline, Good Company Records provided two of the most defining records of 2015 with Hugo Gerani aka Eleventeen Eston and Phil Stroud's debut EPs. The imprint is back on good form with yet another newcoming act going by the name of Long Body, comprised of Timo L and Deni Deni. The "Hi Vibe" EP starts up with a playful and light-hearted opener, "On A Big Trip", where analog bass, Larry Heard style piano, marimba and jungle noises interweave to create a refreshing and exotic slice of house. Out next week, this summer delicacy is best consumed in a chaise longue with a cocktail within easy reach. Tip !

PREMIERE : Long Body - On A Big Trip

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)

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!

Tanz Ohne Planeten (Tom Bolas Edit)

Bayetë’s Native Dance 01 starts off an willfully mysterious edits series, with four off-the-wall tunes, flitting between low-slung street soul, 90’s digi-afro and zouk, with notable appearances by venezuelan digger-extraordinaire Trujillo and russian wizard Beard in Dust.

"Una spiaggia deserta, un appuntamento al bar. Le onde del mare s'infrangono dolcemente sulla riva, bicchieri di vetro riflettono gli ultimi raggi di sole del tramonto. Il seducente panorama di Posillipo e il fascino di un amore da fotoromanzo. Qualcosa fuori dal normale. Alcune domande ineludibili, i colori di un buio che non fa paura. È la Napoli del cuore. La città non è più un luogo fisico, ma il palcoscenico di un incontro clandestino. Le emozioni più vivide assumono la forma di note sul pentagramma."
(M. Ferretti)

"A deserted beach and a rendezvous at the bar, with waves crashing gently in the distance and wine glasses catching the last rays of the setting sun. The seductive panorama of Posillipo unfolds before the eyes, evoking the charms of a photo-novella, though something mysterious lurks in the emerging dark, leading to unavoidable questions and temptations of the soul. This is the Napoli of the heart…no longer a physical manifestation, but instead, a stage for clandestine encounters and forbidden desires, where the most vivid emotions take the form of notes on the staff." 
(English translation by Octagon Eyes)

Acqua Di Sale

SP PRD 1016 • Rosa - "Acqua Di Sale"

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
