STAFF COMMENTS Matt says: Takin you back to a time when 'crusty man' walked the North, when happy hardcore adverts graced national TV and white dog poo was not uncommon this optimistic offering was just the ray of light the charts needed. Lurking on the ‘South Side’ you can find the raw, potent ‘Underground Goodies Mix’, a production credited by Rashad and other pioneers as the catalyst for Chicago’s ‘footwork’ movement. Introducing those distinctive skipping, syncopated rhythms later adopted by UK garage pioneers, Louie’s MAW mix has lost none of its dancefloor impact over the last 25 years. With artwork lovingly adapted from the original 12”, the record’s 'North Side' features a deft Kai Alce edit of the monstrous 10 minute Masters At Work remix. Reaching #2 on Billboard’s dance chart in 1992, "Brighter Days" was Cajmere’s breakthrough hit and continues to educate and inspire producers, DJs and dancers to this day. Best known in recent years by his Green Velvet moniker, Curtis Jones has been blazing a trail through house and techno since launching his Cajual imprint back in ’91.

Part one of this ‘Foundations’ series celebrates Chicago producer Cajmere’s early masterpiece "Brighter Days". Brilliant stuff.īBE kick off a new 7" series featuring some of the most iconic house tracks of all time and selected by DJ Spinna and Kai Alce. Things rise and fall in perfect harmony with the momentum of the piece, introducing more frantic instrumentation when the vocals drop out, and stripping it back once again when they come to the fore.Īnother great release from BBS, and an absolutely fascinating and impeccably produced outing from Boswell. Despite the somewhat frantic changeovers, the electronic elements manage to stay within the same aural spectrum to keep things on track, and come out as a cohesive, and fascinatingly multifaceted whole.įlip over and 'Heavy Load' takes the acoustic guitar and brings it slightly more to the front of the stereo image, with a bluesly slide guitar accentuated the audible finger slides before being pulled along with a smooth hi-passed synth line showing it's colours before retracting once again into the engrossing acoustic groove. It's a beguiling journey, introducing fragments of synths mimicking the vocal lead line, before once again fading away to be replaced by an equally satisfying counter-melody to take it's place and change the tone before segueing back again into the main refrain. We start things off with the lively bass throbs and shimmering acoustic guitars of 'No Colours', slowly growing and shining glorious synth rays into Boswell's unmistakeably gritty but pitch-perfect college-rock falsetto. See you later.’ “ĭespite the inauspicious meeting, Dan would later be recruited to work on Theresa’s forthcoming solo album and having met Guro on tour, Theresa invited her to also work on the long-player.īorn out of these album sessions, the BOSS track came out of post recording jams and after recruiting drummer Sarah Jones, a 20 second snatch of an almost 15 hour jam was eventually worked into ‘I’m Down With That’.īOSS - 'Mr Dan’s I’m Dub With That' Versionĭavid J Boswell strikes a delicate and brilliantly accomplished balance between folk/blues and electronica on this superb new outing for Black Beacon Sound. “The exact words of her response were ’that’s the last fucking thing we need. “Being a Warpaint fan I found her backstage and told her I was the best psychedelic rock producer in the world,” remembers Dan.
In the time honoured spirit of the label, the single was produced in a day at Dan’s south London studio and is their first release, yet the inception of the band goes back to 2012 when Dan met Theresa at a festival in Slovakia (he would also later produce All We Are’s debut album). BOSS are Guro Gikling of All We Are, Theresa Wayman of Warpaint, Sarah Jones, who has previously drummed for Hot Chip and Yeasayer, and Speedy Wunderground head-honcho Dan Carey, who has recently been involved in the Sexwitch project with Natasha Khan and TOY.
