Masters At Work Feat. India  .  To Be In Love .  (MAW Mix)

Backfired

Backfired (Dave Lee Club Mix) [feat. India]

The Balearic Gabba Soundsystem is back, back with a new EP that features three more leftfield remixes from curious electronic specialist Enzo Elia that have all been licensed officially by Irma Records. The source material for his three unhinged reworks is a track by 90s Italian house duo Soft House Company and two from cult Italian DJ and producer Don Carlos.

Soft House Company released only two EPs, both in 1990, but made a big impact with them: pretty much everyone has heard ‘What You Need’ and that’s the track that gets remixed here. Elia turns it into a slightly more bouncy and disco leaning cut with raw silvery drums, huge vamping piano chords and those classic vocal cries and already Eddie C and Gerd Jansen have been playing it. At the breakdown there is the sound of waves breaking on a beach before pianos go wild: It’s a freewheeling and sure fire party starting track that still does the trick nearly quarter of a century after original release.

Don Carlos was behind such seminal club tracks as 1991’s ‘Alone’ and produced five studio albums in the nineties and naughties. He fuses Afro rhythms with deep house vibes and has DJed all over the world since the 70s. The first of his to get re-worked is ‘Overture’, which starts with tropical bird cries, whistles and loon calls. It’s the sound of a humid jungle that gets slowly consumed by lush pads, delicate piano melodies and stirring string sounds. With a truly magical atmosphere and uplifting joyousness permeating the whole thing, it cannot fail to make you feel on top of the world.

Finally, Elia tackles ‘Chicago’ (a track that’s already been supported by Soft Rocks) and does so with swathes of mesmeric effects. Organic hand congas, breathy vocal snippets and a bristling nebula of synths, pads and strings all dance around each other in reservedly euphoric symphony.

This might just be one of the most beautifully and bizarrely Balearic releases yet from the ever unhinged Balearic Gabba Soundsystem.

Frankie Knuckles Presents Satoshi Tomiie - Tears (Full Intention mix)

who doesn't love a good old fashioned biblical doomsday theme?  🤣

i will kill 
almost everyone


blood will spill
streets will 
fill become
rivers
of blood
and  everyone
will see me for the
demon that I have become

y'all did this to me
summoned vengeance
no repentance
can forgive your
profanity

die humans, die

y'all be slaughtered
drawn and  quartered
and your demise should be no surprise
it be your prize
for your offences in the eyes
of the one almighty
and the sum of all that is, and might be
all of space and time, and your reality
that's right bitches, meet finality

i am the archangel of death
anyone left
once the spark and the breath
of life
is crushed
and extinguished
once you're vanquished
the few that stand
before the one true God who commands
all space and time
will be reminded
of the one path
in the aftermath

all who bow before the maker
here and now and forever take a vow
of divinity of  precious life, humanity
will stay alive

fear the flaming sword of wrath
the tears of your maker that flow after
armageddon

the end of days
the one true God
is about to give the nod
the green light
to my legions that will smite
and destroy
the wicked
the corrupt and the defiled
y'all about to meet your maker and that OG gonna get 
wild

wild (finality)

The Fog - Been A Long Time

Free Download! One of my all time favorite disco cuts. I was at a warehouse party in Oakland and Onionz (Electrik Soul) dropped this in the middle of his set and the place went nuts.

Sound Engineer Dave Darlington helped me mix this version.

This song got into the top 20 of the official UK singles charts in the U.K in 1996. This was a remake of the 1986 version with the same singer Billie.
