Review: L.D.F ft. Javonntte, Tilman Bohm, Gari Romalis - Tribute To The Latin Posse (Shadow Pressings)

We all like to know what's lurking in the shadows and Italy's L.D.F is a master of warehouse noir of the analog house; and what better than to put it to use of a 'Tribute To The Latin Posse' and on vinyl!

After the mysterious 'Trentsetter' EP (see review HERE), here's Javonntte, Tilman Bohm and Gari Romalis all falling for Chicago House Club Soul with a heavy drum machine/synth base.

Probably best represented here with 'The Freaks' (with Böhm).mixing raw club sounds with Euro-electronic influences that works out better on every listen.

L.D.F. (aka Lello Di Franco) simple, repetitive and effective rule book and elevated with the vocals of Javonntte on both 'Light Speed' and 'You & Me'.   In fact, with Tilmon helping out on 'You & Me' in a post-Peech B oys NYC with synth-wobble that puts it firmly in the main room with the soul boys. 

And if you like it more Detroit old skool, Gari Romailis helps out on 'In & Out' with voices from under the floorboards for your nightmare mixtape visions whilst 'Tribal.Dance' is 80/90s synth voodoo that's going to break new romantics hearts - think instrumental Yazoo gone rain forest.

Somewhat of a variation of 'Iremember' [Gastek & L.D.F. feat. Dmitri SFC with Gari Romalis / Javonntte] (see review HERE) and if you're expecting any Jazz Room dance crew biz based on the title, this ain' it - as they say, "The underground keeps its secrets - Shadow Pressings simply amplifies them"

Review: Gastek & L.D.F. feat. Dmitri SFC - 'Iremember' [Gari Romalis / Javonntte] (Morris Audio)

"All night, by the bassline" you'll be dancing to 'Detroit Mixes' on the new EP on Morris Audio as 'Iremember' gets the Gari Romalis / Javonntte treatment.

Already off to a fine start for the new year, Wearing Shoes' 'In The Mist' EP (see review HERE) but this month sees them remembering the 2012 release on 12" by Gastek & L.D.F. on the 'Citysport Edition' with remixes that time by Washerman on a 'garage tip' and Demetrio Giannice.   

This time round, we remember house soundsystem culture - 3 turntables, 4 bags of records .... dancing all night - in a Detroit way.

The original version has certainly been synth-pumped up as the Gari Romalis Electronix Remix and there's two variants of Javonntte; 'Ultra Mix' (the vocal edit) and 'Demo Edit' (the dub mix).

If you remember 'Detroit', you'll love this love letter to the dancefloor/radio waves on the edge of the vastness of electronic great lake sounds and all set for MOVEMENT!
