AJELLO “Kalimba Tune” ( 2013 RETROSPECTIVE - UK) EP
“Retrospective is back with a monster of a release. We are proud to kick off 2013 with none other than Italy’s finest; Ajello!
Eclecticism is definately the keyword word of the Ajello project comprising of Luca (DJ Rocca) Roccatagliati and Fabrizio Taver Tavernelli. The Ajello sound features a number of influences all of which can be heard in the tracks on this, their first E.P. on Retrospective; electro, new-wave, italo-disco, disco, neurofunk, eurodance, space sounds, early house.
As this is the first E.P. of 2 from Ajello we decided to pull out all the stops on the remixes for this project. First up is Sean Johnson aka Hardway Bros, undoubtedly one of Future Disco’s pioneers with a heritage to match who delivers a truly unique rework of Kalimba Tune taking us on a trip back to the warehouse sounds of the 80’s. The second mix of Kalimba Tune is delivered by Chris Massey best known for his mixes of 2 Bear’s - Bear Hug, Diplo & Sleazy Mcqueen who delivers a pure Nu Disco groover. In addition, for the digital release Verdo of Danny Was a Drag King fame brings his signature hypno-beat flavor to the fold alongside label owners Ruben & Ra who deliver a taste of Cosmic Jam to Saturday Morning. Quite a package I’m sure you will agree! Keep your eyes peeled for releases by Heion, Rayko, Fingerman, Ruben & Ra plus some other special surprises in 2013.”

ABOUT THIS ITEM
Bonar Bradberry back once again for London’s Ism Records with ‘Stop & Look’ featuring vocal duties from Odyssey’s Mr Steven Collazo with a heavy production heading straight towards the sound of the Paradise Garage and very D-Train inspired. No wonder the likes of Greg Wilson and Ashley Beedle have jumped on this 80s boogie gem for the past few months.
‘This Way Up’ comes complete with a big room pressure remix from the Dead Rose Music Company. Epic sounding, uplifting in all the right ways and building throughout with intense piano stabs, a deadly persistent bass line that shows no mercy, backed by a tight percussion sounds and surrounded by well placed stereo effects and haunting vocals that is bound to appeal to both house heads and the disco fraternity alike.
Paul Barkworth returns with another 80s led groover on the remix of ‘Stop & Look’, slinky as a Prince production, with delicious synth stabs, warped pads and a quirky off-kilter B-line and backed by his rough and tough trademark beats.
Damir Rogina, the man responsible for turning out Ilija Rudmans productions for close on a decade makes his vinyl debut for Ism Records. Hisapproach to production is to blend funk, Italo, hi-NRG disco all into one sound yet not use a single modern digital instrument or VA or plugin … so for the past year Damir, a self confessed cable junkie, has set up a studio that is 100% representative of the early days of disco, analogue synths, trusty drum machines and hence the new record is born!
Firstly ‘Funk Divine’ is almost a modern day sounding Princesque masterpiece, with its deadly synths, over a sexy rhythm and with a body moving b-line, climaxing into a full on up-tempo exotic disco romp! Rocking the remix is the crazy Italians Ajello with their remake of ‘Sand Worm’. Delightfully camp with dancing synth arpeggios and relentless Rhodes chords this is clearly inspired by Harry Thuman.

Ajello “Smells like a Remix Orgy” EP 2012 DWDK
The latest twelve inch to arrive from the perma pumping Danny Was A Drag King la…bel sees an all star remix cast tackle material from the excellent Italian duo Ajello. Andy Meecham looms large here, delivering two typically analogue heavy takes on “Dreams Of Paradise” with the opening remix retaining the distinctive tones of Hard Ton amidst an increasingly deviant treatment of analogue machinery. There is also an extended dub version that will tickle the fancy of those who prefer Meecham’s echo laden productions. Elsewhere the under appreciated Finnish duo Hannulelauri turn “Sabrer” into a modern day EBM jacker whilst Ajello’s countrymen Alien Alien drop a growling take on “El Charro” that adopts a twilight house poise.

Copycat “Disco Thang” (Ajello Ethos Mama Remix) 2012 MB Disco
Review:
Swedish producer Copycat has enjoyed an interesting career to date, first impressing with a series of unlikely bootleg mash-ups and punkish electro tracks before moving on to more serious-minded compositions. Here he pops up on Martin Brodin’s MB Disco imprint with a breezy fusion of Balearic piano solos and Moroder-ish electro-disco bottom end. It’s simultaneously tough, chunky and impossibly sunny. Fast-rising Brooklyn studio boffin Lou Teti draws out the track’s more Balearic elements on a laidback disco rub that seemingly shuffles from the speakers like an old man on smack. Ajello, meanwhile, turns “Disco Thang” into a twinkling acid house/nu-disco crossover
