True to form, Boston-based label Cultures of Soul is set to release a compilation of obscure disco from a far-flung corner of the world. After forays into India and Brazil, they now turn their attention to South Africa. South Africa is home to a dizzying variety of musical genres and traditions, including some that look directly to American sounds for inspiration. In the late 70s and early 80s, many of the country's best young musicians were guided by funk. All over the world, disco was growing harder and more electronic, with new synthesizers entering the market every month. The southern tip of Africa was no exception. Global music industry geo-politics, however, aided by the country's pariah status and a UN-sanctioned cultural boycott, prevented the vast majority of this music from ever being heard outside the country, nor ever being released on CD or digitally. Until now. Compiled by Cultures Of Soul head honcho Deano Sounds in collaboration with Johannesburg-based DJ Okapi from the Afro-Synth blog and record store, Boogie Breakdown serves up two tracks apiece from six seminal acts from the era - Harari, The Cannibals, Neville Nash, Benjamin Ball, Don Laka and Al Etto - to offer a glimpse into this long-forgotten era in African music history. A period of true innovation and new possibilities - as well as isolation and political instability - the early 80s in South Africa saw the emergence of numerous talented, innovative artists, whose efforts soon gave rise to the big-selling 'bubblegum' sound of the mid-80s. As the decade wore on, this sound shed its American roots and took on more local influences, becoming ever more electronic and less funky, to become the kwaito of the 90s and ultimately the house music of today. It all started with the arrival of synthesizers and the creativity of producers and artists featured on this compilation - pioneers

of a new sound before it became established and marketable - global in its appeal, yet rooted in Africa.

Myers returns, fresh off the back of a debut show at Field Day and with a two track 12" nodding to the past and the future.

'Taps' is a relentless drum machine driven, synth directed monster, that comes at you like it's about to punch you in the face, but actually picks you up and chucks you on its shoulders. 'Rabona' is a restrained, smooth but rugged roller, with subtle shifts that previews another layer to the Myers palette. Having taken steps out into the real world, expect a lot more to come over the next year

An amazing, rare beauty of a track from deep within the Trax vaults, Eric Bell's "Your Love" originally came out in 1987 and features a stellar instrumental version courtesy of the legendary Frankie Knuckles.

Since it's original release it has been a heavily sought after piece of wax often changing hands on-line for hundreds of pounds and it remains one of the most cult Chicago House records and rightfully so!

Re-mastered and re-pressed here for the first time, "Your Love" is an unmissable re-issue complete with original Trax label artwork, utterly essential.

NYC producer/DJ follows releases for Rush Hour, 100% Silk, and Argot w/ gorgeous, idiosyncratic deep house cuts encorporating live instrumentation and catchy melodies that work equally well on a dancefloor or in headphones.

new on Young Marco's Safe Trip. June 2017, Amsterdam, NL: It is with the utmost urgency that we report the conclusions of our experiments with controlled doses of 4-ho-met, codenamed ST004.As instructed, we met up with agent 23, who introduced us to the test subject- code name ben penn - who was ushered into the bunker for immediate testing. In order to observe his reactions, penn was injected with a modified dosage of 4-ho-met and locked inside with only and handful of electronic machines for company.The subject immediately began acting strangely. It quickly became clear that 4-ho-met was increasing his capacity to produce music.Afterwards, penn was able to play us two audio interpretations of his experience. He was visibly shaken. The first penn called: spare hobby'. He described the resultant musical translation as higher level inter-dimensional funk'. His utterances while under the influence of 4-ho-met were captured partly using a device the subject described as a vocoder'. His capability to form complex melodic structures was striking.The second interpretation was titled carrera' and composed during a period of vivid hallucination. The subject sweated profusely throughout and became obsessed with driving electronic drums. He told of seeing purple-coloured ghosts, which he attempted to portray musically via wild synthesizer flourishes and what he said was called a bass line'.It is our belief that immediate action must now be taken in order to control the spread of 4-ho-met amongst the wider civilian population.

2LP includes special insert and digital download code.Though they're both originally from Kansas, Chrissy & Hawley met in Chicago, and began working together on songs that unite their very different individual styles: emotional dance music with catchy melodies and thoughtful lyrics in the tradition of Yazoo, Pet Shop Boys, Arthur Russell, Kid Creole & The Coconuts, Larry Levan, and Patrick Cowley.Their debut album comes hot on the heels of an EP on Smartbar's own Northside '82 imprint, which has won over tastemakers like The Black Madonna, Jackie House & Jason Kendig (Honey Soundsystem), Prince Rama, and Avalon Emerson.Some of the most earnest and charming pop music I've heard in years" - Avalon Emerson.Ive been obsessing over 'Photobooth" - Jason Kendig.Nite Owl co-founder Chrissy is a genre-bending DJ / producer, known for releases on labels like Classic, Freerange, Razor-N-Tape, Planet Mu, and Hypercolour, his influential "My Year Of Mixtapes" blog, and his DJ residency at the legendary Chicago nightclub Smartbar.Hawley Shoffner is a Chicago-based singer-songwriter with a distinctive, immediately recognizable voice in the tradition of Karen O, Kathleen Hanna, or Siouxsie Sioux.

Frank Booker is back down in the basement for the 3rd release on his hot new vinyl only imprint. The main man himself delivers the A side cut, which is a classic Booker style disco jam.
By now standard Booker ingredients are served - super tight drums, funky bass, big strings, joyous horns, a wild piano riff - and the whole affair climaxes with a joyous vocal hook. Irresistible stuff! On the flip side, Frank's compadre Dicky Trisco drops another serious disco weapon that is guaranteed to kick-start any party with its chunky, funk-inspired sound.
Absolutely ready to tear up the dance floor at any moment, it is again the keys that really seal the deal here. Both tracks have 100% got the funk and have been lovingly mastered for this limited edition 10 inch vinyl release.Making this yet another stellar release on the Down In The Basement label - as you would expect!

The Summer breeze is never far away when the Barefoot Beats posse are in town!The limited edition 10" vinyl series continues in some style with two mighty contributions from NYC taste maker JKriv and Rio's very own rising star Joutro Mundo.
Razor-n-Tape head honcho JKriv kicks things off with a seriously loose and funk-heavy groove that hits as hard as a mango caipirinha at dawn.While over on the flip, Joutro Mundo puts stars in our eyes with his deep and hypnotic Brasilian vibes.
The Barefoot vibe is strong!!!

Another of Louie Vega's pseudonyms, Sole Fusion's first release 'We Can Make It' was a straight disco cut-up with new vocals from Pierre Salandy. But with 'Bass Tone' the MAW man showed his versatility by branching out in a different direction. Its percussive minimalism and melancholic keyboards sound like a blueprint for Derrick Carter and Classic Records' (which started the year after this came out) style of deep house. An undiscovered classic.

As tanzverbort laws in some parts of the world still deprive people's basic need to dance,
Croatia's "Legalize Lambada" movement brings you it's very own second cry for freedom.

Side A features two slices from Camp Cosmic ambassador Albion leading the way with an italo disco obscurity known to cause hip replacement called "Yetti", followed by a travel ticket to hazy Cosmicville named - Into infinity .

On the flip Austria's main digger MikeBurns saves two soulful african jewels from extinction, "Enyin" aiming at the dancefloor and "This ground" telling us a story.

Legalize!

Repress. Re-edits inspired by the legendary Chicago night club MEDUSAS done by JAMAL (HIEROGLYPHIC BEING) MOSS. A-side is a techno industrial re-edit of BIGOD 20's "THE BOG". On the flip, re-edits of PIL's "CHANT" and KISSING THE PINK.

Part Two, featuring Logic, Erick Morillo, Barbara Tucker, Logic and Black Magic. Heavy hitters!

Good news! music lovers, Soul searchers, and record diggers!

Los Charly's Orchestra are back!!! this time celebrating their 10th anniversary and featuring the tropical Soul legend: Omar, for their latest extravaganza of Caribbean infused Disco/Boogie.

LCO has left an important landmark on the global Soulful Disco - Jazz Funk landscape since the very beginning, and their tireless production machine still continues today to deliver some of the most epic groovers, such as: "All Around The World, Everlasting Love & Sunshine", in between many others.

Juan Laya & Jorge Montiel (the two men behind this project), continue on their endless effort for producing enduring music by delivering their latest EP which contains an LCO's Re-make treatment of Omar's classic: "It's So" plus a brand new Boogie-Reggaeish fusion track entitled: "History", both tracks with their correspondent instrumentals for the delight of the vinyl junkie, and groove music aficionado.

Mexico City's SHIRO SCHWARZ makes their vinyl debut. Some of the best writing in Modern Funk with lyrics by the duo of PAMMELA & RAFAEL. "DON'T ASK WHY" is spaced out booty juice from the duo of Mrs. BUTTERSWORTH. And last, "MOVE YOUR BODY" captures us with divine dance floor rhythms & synths.

Deep underground Chicago staple of music played by the chosen few to the ones who truly know how deep it is.

Neon Finger strikes back! Release number four starring Midnight Runners is here! A full time ultra delicate piece of disco-funk and boogie where the indonesian band, headlined by Munir, will take our minds away. A mandatory release for all weird funk lovers.

Welcome to the ever so eighth sun-drenched installment of all that is great and summery in the Nu Disco Universe. Back at the helm after a few summers off is Slovenian superhero and all-around Nang buddy Sare Havlicek at the controls. Sare has deftly compiled and mixed a cadre of fine delights for those summer grooving nights (and days).

Things open up with an exclusive from UK based produced Blue Azure, "Wide Awake" is a prefect of the sound we are trying to encompass. Bags of sun, groove with a touch of swing. Next it is off to San Francisco for a combo of talents from The Beat Broker and Sorcerer, shimmering guitar and sparkly synths all in one package. Goldboy turn in a fine remix of the punchy and synth-stabby "La Vache De Dense" from Les Chevaliers Solex. Things toughen up for a tad with Ron Basejam (from Crazy P) giving us a bass guitar driven dance floor work out of Raykos "No Stopping".

The man himself, Sare, is next with his remix of Glasgow based The Korvids getting the summer vocal grooves firing. Also featured is a taster from his upcoming album "No Chance To Dance". Bristol based Situation are next with disco cutmeister Greg Wilson contributing to a fine stomping remix. Talking of Situation their fine remix of underground afro disco classic "Na Real Sekele Fo Ya" by Pasteur Lappe really gets the floor filling. Flanger X keeps the tempo electric with his fine "Back In Business" guitar chopped funker.

Time for some legends next, Pete Herbert joins up with Martin Denev and US House Music vocal legend Robert Owens for a big beater "Pass Me By", Australian cut-up-king Dr Packer doing the business on a remix. "Believe In Love" is a left field quirker from album kings Proper Heat. Things get plucky and bouncy next with "Arp" from the Russian contingent of Kim and Buran. Back to the US West Coast next with Grooving in Guatamala from Aimes.

To round things off it's a slice of slick psych disco from Italtian Billy Bogus and his Caribbean House project. Before a fine vocal stomp from Sheffield based Hiem with their bass and sax driven "Highlife".

Until we meet next summer, a fond farewell.

Reissue of the original 1983 release with audio restored by Manlio Cangelli himself.
Repress of one of the most rare Italo Disco releases under license of Manlio Cangelli - MC Harmony Publishing company with Audio restored by Manlio himself part of the only official retrospective on the legendary musician and producer.

Wish Key was created by Manlio Cangelli, musician and composer, founder and producer of Scotch also very active at that time. The first and best known song is Wish Key Orient Express. The song was composed by Manlio Cangelli with the text of Lorella Ghilardi (Blue Russell) and was designed to be the new song of Blue Russell.

On the advice and insistence of Severo Lombardoni then patron of Discomagic Records, who would have preferred a version with a male voice, the interpretation of the song was given to DJ Massimo Berti, while the female choirs were made in the study by Blue Russell. The union Cangelli-Ghilardi at that time had also created Penguin invasion of Scotch, Over and over Jerry Moon, New Dream Clay Pedrini and many other songs.

Orient Express was recorded at study Regson Milan in October 1983. The subsequent promotion of the song demanded finding a female figure because Blue Russell was already committed to the promotion of another of his solo album (I wanna fly away, written always from Cangelli and Ghilardi) was responsible for this presence Silvia Merelli, wife of Massimo Berti. The denomination Wish Key was filed by Manlio Cangelli and Lorella Ghilardi at the patent office of Bergamo shortly after the release of Orient Express ten-year.

In 1984 Massimo Berti created and published with the name Wish Key (with permission of Manlio Cangelli, trademark holder) the song Easy way, with the participation of Silvia Merelli as backing vocalist. The following years saw the publication of other works by Berti as Last summer and others, with good sales success and television appearances.

Frigio Records is going back in time for its latest release, some 38 years into the past. Back then a young Newcastle man was experimenting with early electronic instruments and synths. Mick Clarke is his name and nearly forty years later he is still at it. Two tracks have been borrowed from Clarke's seminal Games LP, each given a bit of modern boot polish from MinimalRome's Heinrich Dressel and Frigio father Juanpablo.'Walls of the Night' is a blissed out work of ambient prog rock abstraction. Think rumbling horror score and soaring guitar strings. Heinrich Dressel offers a giallo dipped remix. The building bars of the original are maintained, beats added for ballast and darkened organ keys for a remake etched with murderous intent. The flip is introduced by the dreamy 'Time Is Now.' Slender synthlines intertwine with gentle strings in a cerebral work. Juanpablo tweaks the 1979 material. Syrupy acid lines swim in meandering currents, a thick beat keeping time in murky waters of modulations and undulations.






,

First EP from Okwa under his side-project's Saint Paul. He delivers an introspective musical journey from his own vision. The whole stainted with organic sounds coming from various influences, which include funk, jazz, soul, hip hop and afro music.

Right after we finished putting together our long sold out DISTANT WAVES compilation back in 2014 we started working on volume II. What we couldn't expect is that it would take us three whole years (and a lot of research work) to complete it, but you know what Well worth the wait and the efforts!
This time we have assembled a collection of songs that share some common factors: they all were made in the 80s, they all feature synths and they all are extremely sought after, rare as hell or just previously unreleased. And previously released or not, they are all considered 'instant classics' by DWR. There are obvious style variations as each band here is unique but DISTANT WAVES II is quite more homogeneous than its predecessor, hence we were able to tag it as 'AN 80s SYNTH WAVE COMPILATION'.We have the upbeat, danceable minimalism of STANDING OVATION, BORIS DZANECK, STÖRUNG, DOPPLER EFFECT and FACTORÍA RIBBENTROP. The cold, moody melancholy of BROKEN TABLES and LA VALSE. Virtually unknown acts like THE SIXTH SENSE, SEEING RED and ALMOST ANYONE, heavily underrated new wave giants like GREY PARADE and PUPPETS OF MANKIND. An unreleased synth pop masterpiece from ALMOST ALONE here, an unheard 7' rendition of a worlwide dancefloor smasher by NIGHTMOVES there. A total of 14 amazing tracks, all 'instant classics' as mentioned, that wouldn't fit in just an LP so we had to create THE ADDENDUM II also, an additional 7' to accommodate two of the songs.In every DWR release you will find darkness and light, energy and melancholy. DISTANT WAVES II is obviously no exception. As we always say, 'there's something for every soul here, for every moment'. This is a very personal project, a very personal selection of songs and bands that we love at Dead Wax Records. What we listen to, what we want to share with you. Again, we hope that you like the experience.We bring you DISTANT WAVES II in the form of a limited, hand numbered LP+7' bundle (320 copies) including a download code, housed in a matt sleeve with black & gold pantone finish and a printed inner sleeve. THE ADDENDUM II 7' comes with hand-stamped labels in its own folded insert-sleeve.

Celebrated & mysterious Portuguese sonic weapons outlet OUTERZONA13 return with three more deadly jams...
Continuing the theme of pursuing a varied menu of delights
No.7 is a another V/A selection. A re-touched staple kicks things off, swiftly followed by some delightfully decadent late 80's buried Chicago treasure While the B Side carries an irresistible slab of Minneapolis Funk Another Outerzona hit !

Since 2013, this duo has trademarked their discoveries with the appellation Beach Diggin', a label that certifies the quality and rarity of its products and guarantees a maximum dose of sunshine for every groove. Braving the hordes of sugar-hungry bees swarming around boxes of Caribbean records, the humidity in the holds of boats, or jostling to save 45's lying on the ground from being trampled underfoot, Guts and Mambo, at the risk of their own lives, have explored the most far-flung corners of the earth, all for a single purpose: To discover and to share.

Todh Teri announces the launch of its debut release,with a limited vinyl only edition.
Todh Teri announces the launch of its debut release,with a limited vinyl only edition. Todh Teri is the revival of the golden era in Indian cinema. It's the resurgence of Indian disco, funk & cabaret from the 70's , 80's & 90's. Deep in India Vol.1 goes back to its homegrown roots and gives us three classic gems. Each edit retaining its original flavor & a little something more to take to the dance floor.Todh Teri polishes off each track with a signature groove if its own. Ten seconds into an edit and you are deep in India! In the past, Todh Teri has brought this style of music to Berlin's clubs like Rummelsbucht & Wilde Renate. The act is scheduled to showcase in July at Sispyhos, Berlin & set for a very special LIVE debut at Wilde Renate, this August. In an Interview with Todh Teri, Red Bull said - - Indian artists have been loath to touch anything Bollywood and understandably so... Step in Todh Teri who wants to connect the lost world of Indian disco with western club sounds.' Teri understands that most Indian artists are (or were) not sure (about edits), because without proper execution, they can be easily clubbed as (mainstream) Bollywood remixes.'

Bordello is back with another volume in the Riviera Disco series featuring Forgotten Illusions from France, Comme Un Cœur from Latvia/Russia, Stijn Sadée from The Netherlands and Diane Vain from Belgium!

Nice 12 made available through Dark entries again - originally out on Durium / Il Discotto Productions n 1983 !

People Must Jam's ninth record is from one of our favourite DJs and producers. A guy who has a ridiculously large back catalogue and in our opinion it is a crime that some of his records haven't received bigger recognition.A true master of House and Hip Hop music, Kid Sublime has been putting out amazing records since 2001. His own label Dopeness Galore literally does exactly what it says on the tin. Even before we launched People Must Jam's label we wanted Kid Sublime to be a part of it. Now finally we are stoked to present this EP...
Four serious cuts for four different vibed floors - look out! First up Kid's homage to Techno legend Ben Sims with 'Bang Like Sims' a driving deep Techno groove. Strong percussion, deep stabs and that unrelenting beat are going to ensure this one gets some love on the harder edged, heavier dance floors. 'We The People' heads a little down the tribal route with some afro inspired percussion, haunting samples and that kalimba! Dropping a really infectious riff before beautiful piano melodies drift in and out of the mix. Wonderful stuff.The title track 'I like 'em dirty'; we feel, is a lesson in proper Deep House.
Classic sounding house beats, little guitar licks, deep stabs and the vocal sample combine for this perfect house cut. Massive.
The EP is rounded out with another cut in tribute to the legend that was Kenny Hawkes. Another master of his craft - Kenny sadly now passed on but his spirit is well and truly alive in this fitting tribute. 'One 4 Kenny' features strong percussion, low bass, deep stabs and slamming beats = cracking stuff.
As always limited 180gm pressed vinyl. We hope you like it.

Repress from valuable 12 - originally out on Il Discotto Productions in 1983

xxxy returns to his spiritual home on TTY with a with a package of club burners. ready for summer.

COSMIC TEMPLE is the new project of Daniele Baldelli that will include 6 12's released over the course of a few months. The 6 records will graphically compose the COSMIC logo.

Daniele Baldelli the producer now has nothing to envy about Daniele Baldelli, the DJ. This is demonstrated by the authoritativeness of the first two 12's of six in the series "Cosmic Temple' on the Mondo Groove label. What first strikes the eye are the covers, with fluorescent colors, which will form a patchwork created by Aldo Drudi (the designer of Valentino Rossi), a large mosaic that interprets garish aesthetics/logoa Cosmic. But immediately after the music takes the stage, 3 tracks in "Chapter 1" and 3 tracks in "Chapter 2", are able to tell the true mood of the imaginary Baldelli's sound and take them to a land of wonders. Numbers like Thyratron, with Ricky Burattini (Justofunk) on the floor, playing a utopian fusion as if Peter Daou was weaned at Cosmic in Lazise (Italy) instead of the Paradise Garage in New York, or Inner Light, Francesca Amati with the voice, which is pure 2015 electro-pop, the rhythmic bass on Diffrazione and the phrasing of Zircaloy, and still that yin and yang that composed Krebs Cycle, with Burattini on synth, a race horse deep disco at 120 bpm that goes into stratospheres, and Afelio, a lethargic space ballet at 90 bpm...

NYC Disco legend Danny Krivit returns to the editing block on behalf of seminal Miami Disco powerhouse TK Disco. With 45 years in the DJ game under his belt and having played endless gigs all over the world during that time it's safe to say Mr.K knows exactly what he's doing when it comes to the re-edit thing! With unprecedented access to TK's vaults Danny has been turning in some stellar reworkings as of late and the cuts included on this latest instalment keep the quality sky high!
Peter Brown, a Chicago born singer, keyboard player and producer who had numerous hit singles and LP's (he also wrote Madonna's "Material Girl"!) was a popular Disco artist who harnessed his own original style merging his sweet singing style with synths and modern studio techniques. "For Your Love" listed from his 1977 debut LP "A Fantasy Love Affair" on TK's Drive imprint takes up side-A on this 12" and is treated to the DK edit magic. Danny gives us a subtle, respectful rework of this quirky LP cut, a synth driven midtempo number. Perfect for the early set or the late, late night encounters, sublime!
On side-B we have a slightly more uptempo jam in the shape of legendary jazz organist Jimmy McGriff's "Tailgunner" - A groove that just won't stop! Here Danny gives us the break after some slight teasing, accompanied by McGriff's funky organ vamps the whole track is rearranged and slightly tougher than the original version. This edit is definitely for the dancers, it's got all the drums upfront and displays some serious hard funk! Again, on this volume both edits are of supreme high quality, not surprising in any way when we consider that one of the originators of the art-form is behind them!
100% legit re-edits, remastered and released in conjunction with Henry Stone Music / TK Disco - Miami FL.

After forging a formidable collaboration on the album FUTURE RETRO with songs such as DO BETTER, TELL ME NOW & BRING ME JOY, THE LAYABOUTS & PORTIA MONIQUE link up again with a brand new single for 2013.
COLOURS OF LOVE is the fruits of their labour and offers us everything we have grown to love about the partnership. The classic feel good soulful production that has now become the signature of THE LAYABOUTS mixed with the warm and sultry tones of PORTIA MONIQUE gives COLOURS OF LOVE the right formula that will keep us warm over the Winter months ahead.
On the flip REEL PEOPLE are delighted to present the new single LIVE WITHOUT LOVE by IMAANI. Produced by REEL PEOPLE, the new single is another heart felt song written and performed by one of the UKs most natural and beautiful artists, IMAANI. IMAANIs career has been quite a journey for this country girl from Derby who jumped on a train to London at the age of 19 and never looked back. Nurtured by the legendary JOCELYN BROWN, IMAANIs talent was soon discovered with cousins CARLEEN & JHELISA ANDERSON & TALKIN LOUDs URBAN SPECIES all taking her on tour. British Soul Institution INCOGNITO was IMAANIs next port of call as she became a permanent fixture on their perpetual live show and on numerous albums. Another highlight and in her own words 'the biggest night of my life' saw IMAANI perform to well over 100 million people and finish second in the 1998 EUROVISION SONG CONTEST. Moving into the dance world, IMAANI teamed up with COPYRIGHT, delivering the anthems WIZEMAN, BRING ME LOVE & NOBODY, all on DEFECTED RECORDS. In the last 3 years another blossoming partnership has been that of IMAANI & THE LAYABOUTS, firstly through the boys remix of her single FOUND MY LIGHT and latterly with FEARLESS & TOO LATE both songs featuring on the album FUTURE RETRO.

Original Bugz In The Attic member Daz-I-Kue delivers the debut album under his Disco, Boogie and Soul moniker BB Boogie. Having played his part in defning West London's Broken Beat scene, producing and engineering many seminal tracks in the genre, London born Daz relocated to Atlanta, absorbing the local music scene and working with some of the many talents available to him. The infuence of the two cities are rejected in this double vinyl release, fusing London's sound system aesthetic with Atlanta's rich heritage in soul, funk and disco.
'Standing On The Wall' features an incredible array of vocalists and musicians including Vanessa Freeman, Monica Blaire, Joy Jones, Grant Green Jr. and the legendary Leroy Burgess, channeling the spirit of the late 70's and early 80's sounds of Unlimited Touch, Chic, Rod Temperton, Roy Ayers and Cameo for a new generation

Originally released in 1983, 'Woman' is one of the several songs performed by Ivana Spagna before she became famous with the 1986 smash hit 'Easy Lady'. A perfect balance between italo-disco, 80's electronic and dance music, finally officially repressed with the full involvement of the author, coming with the original picture cover.
