EDITSERV 006LP
|
Edit Service present its sixth release, this time featuring Youkounkoun, a duo comprising of Jeff Lasson, of Get A Room!, and Gaëtan Rossi. After releasing on Multi Culti edits and Edits du Plaisir, the duo delivers a mini-LP with a diverse range of tempos and moods, from dancefloor-friendly cuts to weirder tracks with Gallic oddities, Dutch new wave, Spanish minimal wave, and experimental Iranian music used as the source material. The unsettling post-punk, industrial, and mutant kraut energy in those tracks could not be further removed from lazy run-of-the-mill disco edits. In true digger spirit, Youkounkoun picks tracks never edited before and painstakingly re-arranges them by adding a lot of additional production to completely transform these tracks for the dancefloor.

The Edit Service is back and for the first time in album format, double-LP. Special Delivery Vol. 4 A Collection Of Dysfunctional Edits By CV contains eight tracks spread over two records: long edits, reworks or even remixes made from obscure music by the enigmatic CV (it shouldn't be too hard for people to figure out who is behind it). "Fish Liquor" is an edit of a German synth wave tune from a limited run cassette released in the '80s, extended and tailored for the dancefloor. "Porte Dorée" features French vocals. The original comes from a rare and cult post-hippy art rock record from the late '70s, condensed into a downtempo yet dancefloor edit. "Ship From Rimini" is the remix of a vocal Italo tune from the early '80s. It has all the hallmarks of a classic of the genre, yet there is something about both its groove and melodies that stands out. On "Pieces Of A Sultan", the raw material comes from a highly popular rock band of the '70s. New instruments were added and the producer takes the tune in a krautrock, almost experimental direction. "Armazém" opens the second LP. One of the most dancefloor-friendly cuts on the album, from a post-industrial and nearly trancey tune from Brazil. "Canaille Bleu" comes from a mid-80s French film which soundtrack was never released. The edit uses the dialog from the film and live instruments. The result is a cinematic and dubby number with Gallic tendencies. "Spanish Codeine" is an Iberian Eurodance record played at the wrong speed, to which elements were added in order to create an edit that goes to completely new directions. With "Racines Incertaines", the producer slowed down a disco funk tune from the late '70s, then recreated it from scratch, giving a cosmic dimension to this groovy number. No digital! Single pressing; Edition of 500.
