DESCRIPTION:
5 Track EP Of Re-edit /Rework Action- Nu-disco, Slo Mo & Balearic Grooves across the 12" New vinyl only 4 track EP of reinterpretations on the fledgling Oswego Music label, from the mysterious Lovehandles.
‘Unrequited Dub’ sees a quintessential eighties tune and Larry Levan favourite reframed as an epic 11 minute balearic slow jam- with scarce copies available digitally getting plays in recent months from Kelvin Andrews/ Balearic Mike (Down to the Sea and Back), Howler (Pikes/Faith/Totem Projects) Joe Morris (Shades of Sound/Pikes) and even Mr Harvey Bassett seeking out a copy. One for sunsets and heartbreak.
Next up-‘Stars before the Sun’ is a recut of a thrift store Hare Krishna disco funk cut. WIth solina strings, drum breaks and a positive message to live for now.
‘Crystal Lites’ first on the flip; heads to the disco. Versioned here with whacked out pinging delays and reverbs. It’s been reworked before, but never like this. ‘It’s a Long Shot’ second on side two, is a 12” mix that never was- an eighties Balearic drum machine pop favourite,extended for djs. Its ethereal vocals, minor keys and spaced out fx perfect for late nights and early mornings.
‘The Drum-Set (skit)’ rounds things off here- a short and sweet reminder of the international, multiracial origins of rhythm. Perfect for mixtape intros and interludes.
DJ Support: DJ Harvey, Kelvin Andrews/ Balearic MIke (Down to the Sea and Back), Howler (Pikes/Totem Projects) Joe Morris (Shades of Sound/Pikes)
Oswego say here-we-go on a fresh batch of 'Reworks': a twirly 12" with four framing reinterpretations from the elusive Lovehandles. 'Unrequited Dub' transforms a classic 80s Larry Levan favourites into an 11-minute Balearic slow jam: speed dialling by Kelvin Andrews, Balearic Mike, Howler, Joe Morris, and Harvey Bassett. 'Stars Before The Sun' recuts a thrift-store Hare Krishna disco-funk gem with solina strings, drum breaks, and an optimistic pulse. The B opens with 'Crystal Lites', sent to the disco with pinging delays and reverb treatments unlike any previous version. And 'It's A Long Shot' delivers an extended 80s Balearic drum machine pop mix, as aspirant, perspirant vocals advect through minor keys and spacious effects; 'The Drum-Set (Skit)' closes the EP, a brief homage to rhythm's multiracial, international roots, perfect for mixtape intros and interludes alike.
