WAXIST's RELEASES

Kalita are delighted to announce the first ever official reissue of Billy Evans’ sought-after 1985 12” disco single 'Prisoner Of My Weakness'! Over thirty-five years since initial release, and long acclaimed by collectors, DJs and dance music fans, the time is ripe to share Billy’s music once more. 

Originally privately released in a small run on Billy’s own label Tee Records, Kalita’s 12” reissue single features both the vocal and incredible dub mix versions of ‘Prisoner Of My Weakness’, plus a brand-new phenomenal remix courtesy of Waxist, produced using the original multitrack analogue master tapes.

With original copies selling for triple figures on the rare occasion that they come up for sale, Kalita now deliver a loud and remastered 12” single for all.

B2. Billy Evans - Prisoner Of My Weakness (Waxist Mix)

This EP features edits by Bottin, Sleazy McQueen, Albion, The Ivory Boy and Avanti. All tracks are edits from obscure Italian songs released between 1974 and 1980.
Comes in a handmade jacket, limited pressing.

Reviews:
Picadelly Records: Red hot batch of Italian edits including a sweet Bottin rework of Loredana Berte's "Ti Piacerebbe", the original of which currently changes hand for over £100 on the second hand market

Juno: If you're going to launch a new re-edit series, it's probably wise to get some big hitters on board. That's certainly what the people behind Theme From Kaffe have done for their debut offering. Italian heavyweights Bottin lead the way with "Ora La So", a lo-slung, Clavinet-heavy chunk of dirty Balearica blessed with sleazy, whispered vocals. Sleazy McQueen continues the eccentric theme with the chugging reggae-disco bounce of "Back To Hell", before Albion ups the tempo on the dusty, vocoder-laden wonky disco chug of "Experimento". An excellent EP concludes with the sprawling soundtrack disco of Ivory Boy's "Mare" and "Bright Mezcal" by Avanti, a curiously bumpin chunk of dub disco weirdness blessed with alien synths and a brilliantly rubbery bassline.

Sleazy McQueen - Back To Hell

 I ain't out for nobody. Make me out to be no fool. All the mysteries of life that I've learned. They can't teach you in school...

Barbara St. Clair - Teacherman (Hober Mallow No Fool Remix)

A groovy and romantic anthem, made for the dancefloor. Blending retro disco with modern vibes, “Disco Love” shines with funky basslines, neon lights, and sensual energy. #AI #AIMusic

Disco Love

Call us crazy, but we've always had a soft spot for Crazy P here at Data Transmission, which if you knew what the 'P' stood for, makes that sentence take on a whole new colour... Anyhoo, what we're trying to say is that the pioneering UK trio have been able to call us fans for a long time and so it didn't take us long - less than half a second in fact - to say yes when they offered us band member Hot Toddy's remix of 'Something More' to premiere.

Taken from their acclaimed album, ‘Walk Dance Talk Sing’, which arrived via their own Walk Don't Walk imprint earlier in the year, Toddy reshapes 'Something More' into, well something more, transforming the broody, guitar driven original into a retrofitted slice of disco jam packed with groove and guaranteed to get hips swaying on the dance floor.

Arriving October 30th as part of a package that also sees Ron Basejam, Asadinho, Juju & Jordash and Luke Solomon serve up remixes of cuts from their last album, you can stream Hot Toddy's 'Disco Redux' of Crazy P's 'Something More' in full below.

Really happy to share a quick low resolution preview of this new edit I've been working on over the last few months. 

It's a real pleasure & honor to have been asked to propose my own edit of this killer private disco song from the original stems. Originally released on the Various Artists Hometown Album II, this has always been a huge favorite of mine over the last years. 

This will be out soon (more news asap!) on Rain & Shine Records.

Rumours [Waxist Edit] - Out Now on Kaplan Records -  RTGK 02

Available as Vinyl LP & Digital on January 20th
Preorder on our Bandcamp: favoriterecordings.bandcamp.com/album/mes…by-waxist

SOL DISCOS, sub-label of Favorite Recordings, is extremely happy to introduce to you the second volume of their Message In Our Music compilation album, selected by WAXIST. This album is the result of more than two years of work in researching the original recordings, the artists involved & licensing the different songs.

A1. Sharnell Morton - You Are My Guiding Star
A2. Janice Nikki Harisson - Magic Of Love
A3. Direct Connec Shun - He's No Good
A4. The James Family - We've Got It Made
B1. Network & Co - Spirit Of The Boogie
B2. Marlon Hunter - Did You Forget My Number
B3. Spice Of Ice - Star Struck
B4. Executive Suite - When It Comes To Loving Me

Focusing once again on the Modern Soul genre, the album brings back to light eight extremely rare songs from the mid-70's to the mid-80's, all officially licensed.

From the heavy synth Gospel Boogie of Sharnell Morton's "You Are My Shining Star" to the magnificent Network & Co private Disco "Spirit Of The Boogie", most of these songs are highly challenging to find on their original format, not to mention at a decent price. Direct Connect Shun "He's No Good" records have been destroyed in a flood, and the few copies which have sold on the Internet reach the 3 figures price tags for example. Also, the album is proud to introduce to a wider audience some lesser-known but exceptional recordings such as Janice "Nikki" Harrison's "Magic Of Love" which is taken from a Broadway musical produced & composed by Ted Wortham - who also composed for Philadelphia International Recordings artists such as Teddy Pendergrass, Anthony White or Jean Carn.

Message In Our Music Volume 2 has been fully remastered, and features interview-based liner notes, along with never seen before pictures of the artists selected.
