DESCRIPTION:
Vocal Future Jazz, Funk Remixes - Brownswood Recordings proudly presents the fourth installment of its Remix Editions series, featuring fresh reworks of Galliano classics. This limited-edition vinyl delivers two dynamic, dancefloor-ready gems, perfect for collectors and music lovers alike.
Side A: musclecars remix
New York DJ/Producer duo musclecars bring their signature warmth and groove to Pleasure, Joy & Happiness, transforming it into a soulful, 90s NYC house-inspired anthem. Known for their genre-blending approach and a mission to unite communities through music, musclecars’ rework includes lush instrumentation and fresh vocal runs from Galliano’s Rob Gallagher and Valerie Etienne. The release also includes an instrumental version of the remix.
Speaking about the track, musclecars said:
“We wanted to give this a real 90’s NYC house feel, with additional instrumentation to really bring on that euphoric sense of pleasure, joy, and happiness that Rob & Val were singing about. Big shout out to them for being open to doing additional vocal runs for our remix. Think it really gave the track new life!”
Galliano’s Rob Gallagher shared his excitement:
“Brooklyn’s finest work over the Eddie Chacon classic to sit on the dancefloor with that New York underground stamp. Already a mainstay of the Galliano live set, this remix gives the song yet more legs to explore the outer reaches. When is a song not a song? When it’s a Millipede….”
Side B: Laroye Remix
French producer Laroye reimagines Circles Going Round The Sun through a Detroit-inspired lens, blending soulful TR-909 beats, evolving strings, and a driving bassline. This remix channels the essence of Detroit techno while honoring the emotive heart of the original, creating a powerful, genre-defying track designed for the dancefloor.
Laroye explained his inspiration:
“This remix draws on soulful Detroit techno—Underground Resistance, Carl Craig, Recloose—melding jazz, soul, and house. Galliano’s message feels timeless, and this remix bridges the past and present beautifully. Like we were somehow connected, without guessing we’d meet one day… a little bit like magic.”
Galliano’s Rob Gallagher added:
“The Laroye remix is a journey in itself. Hearing it late at We Out Here Festival, the crowd moved like one creature on waves of sound. It’s a joy that lingers every time I hear it.”

Last FM Information on Galliano
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
Galliano are a London-based acid jazz group that was originally active between 1988 and 1997. The group was among the first acts to record for Eddie Piller and Gilles Peterson's Acid Jazz record label and was also the first signing to Peterson's Talkin' Loud label.
The original lineup included Robert Gallagher on vocals, credited as Roberto Galliano, along with Constantine Weir on vocals and Crispin Robinson on percussion. Their early work incorporated spoken-word elements influenced by groups such as the Last Poets. Michael Snaith, known as The Vibe Controller, later joined as the group expanded into a touring band for their debut album.
Their first album, "In Pursuit of the 13th Note", was released in 1991 on Talkin' Loud and was produced by Chris Bangs. The album featured contributions from Roy Ayers and received an Edison Pop Award in 1992. Their second album, "A Joyful Noise Unto the Creator", was released in 1992.
After an early tour of Japan, the band developed a more stable lineup that included Valerie Etienne on vocals, Mick Talbot on keyboards, Crispin Taylor on drums, Ernie McKone on bass guitar, Mark Vandergucht on guitar, and Steve Ameedee, also known as Uncle Big Man, as a dancer. Ski Oakenfull later replaced Mick Talbot on keyboards in 1994.
Galliano achieved their greatest commercial success with the album "The Plot Thickens", released in 1994, which reached number eight on the UK Albums Chart. The album produced two UK top 40 singles: "Long Time Gone", a cover of a David Crosby song, and "Twyford Down", which referenced protests against road construction at Twyford Down. The band performed at major festivals during this period, including Glastonbury Festival.
Their fourth studio album, ":4", was released in 1996. It included the track "Slack Hands", which was used in the title sequence of the 1997 film "One Eight Seven".
The group disbanded in November 1997 following a final performance at Dingwalls in London. After the split, members pursued various projects, including Two Banks of Four, Earl Zinger, William Anderson, and The Diabolical Liberties.
In 2023, Galliano announced a reunion and returned to live performance, including appearances at Gilles Peterson's We Out Here Festival. In 2024, they released new singles including "Circles Going Round The Sun" and "Pleasure, Joy & Happiness". Their fifth studio album, "Halfway Somewhere", was released on 30 August 2024, marking their first album in 28 years.
