Kit Tacchini – Keep It Down / La Parisian

Kit Tacchini – Keep It Down / La Parisian

1. Keep It Down
2. La Parisian

Sometimes music lands at Paper Towers with no intro or info but it blows our little socks off. This was one of those rare occasions. And the mystery deepens because we have no more information now than the email address we got it from.

Is it Burial? Is it Lord Lucan? Is it John Prescott? Is it Pauline Prescott?! Time will tell but what we do know is that we’ve got two tracks that are club dynamite!

Keep It Down has elements of 80s disco in the big snare and drums but with a bass ripped out the heart of a Moog. Add delayed synths, fills and vocal snippets and it’s a super-heavy peak time basement floor rocker!

La Parisian takes things down a deeper notch with a bumping bass and shuffling, jacking drums. Add 808 handclaps and synth stabs that build and drop and it’s phuture house that acknowledges what has been before but looking firmly front.

A producer is born!

Farley Silvester – Jam Down Beat Down

 

Acid House survivors Terry Farley and Stretch Silvester for their first release on the label “Jam Down Beat Down”.

Terry has helped define modern UK dance music. In the 80s through his involvement with Boys Own and bands like the Happy Mondays. In the 90s pioneering a tougher garage sound on JBO with Pete Heller. And in the 00s with Faith, a shining beacon for proper house music.
Stretch Silvester has remixed acts like Pulp & St. Etienne, featured on Coca Cola ad campaigns, composed the music for Bjorn Borg’s London fashion show and continues to run his Bring Back The Future record label.

Together they are Farley Silvester!

Jam Down Beat Down has got the trademark Farley sound of floor heavy main room beats, rolling bass, congas and garage stabs. It’s built around a reggae sample that gives the track an otherworldly feel as it floats in and out with dubbed out effects. There’s a build to the drop before things really take off in the second half!

“Paper is a great fit for us because they understand the draw of the blue lights coming off Ms Vasquez glitter ball as the queens stamp and the ball kids runway. They understand the ultimate HOUSE end game which we have both always aimed for …one day…one day.” – Terry Farley

Jimpster – Massive! liking both mixes here but I reckon the dub will be my pick for playing out.

Doc Martin – Both Mixes are DOPE!!!

Rocky (X-Press 2) – Tel’s on fire right now. Love the dub.

Q-Burns Abstract Message – The first half of the dub sounds exactly like a late-90’s San Francisco record … could’ve been a track off Grayhound. Making me a bit nostalgic, here! Terrific all around.

Marius Våreid (Full Pupp) – Lord Have Mercy! What a cool track! And the Dub is ace too.
