Tony Boninsegna, a producer who made and released countless classic cuts and forgotten gems during the acid house and rave era, is one such example. Melding elements of all that was popular in underground clubs at the time to create his own dancefloor-friendly sound worlds, Boninsegna amassed a huge catalogue between 1986 and '94, while hiding his involvement via an array of oddball aliases and opaque pseudonyms.\nCold Blow has joined forces with Musique Pour La Danse to deliver a much-needed restored and remastered anthology of his greatest productions and co-productions – many rare or hard-to-find – for the first time.\nVolume one features two previously unreleased recordings that mark his earliest explorations of the emerging house sound (both as The Rhythm Squad, with Richard Compton), alongside touchstone releases such as Zeco's 'The Witch Trials' (a 1989 production that marked his first outing on vinyl), celebrated workouts recorded with regular collaborator Mykey Tee (Lab Technicians' bleep-inspired 'We Gave U Life', Big Showdown's epic 'They're Here' and AEK's mind-mangling, bleep \u0026amp; breaks number 'Lick It'), and genuinely overlooked gems (the proto-tribal house of Pierrepoint's acid-smothered 'Tonnerre' and saucer-eyed rush of Estudiantes' 'Let The Music Into Your Mind').\nBoninsegna's story first came to light four years ago when he appeared in Join The Future: Bleep Techno and the Birth of British Bass Music, Anniss's critically acclaimed alternative history of UK dance music in the rave era.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cold Blow","offers":[{"title":"Black LPx2.","offer_id":50425982189899,"sku":"2170665","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50425981567307,"sku":"2227535","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/MPD0471_336738eb_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726797881"},{"product_id":"its-all-happening-4","title":"It's All Happening","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt's All Happening is the debut release by Finnish jazz drummer Eeti Nieminen under his new solo moniker Sun Dog.

Alongside the titular vocal and dub tracks, we are treated with an archive gem from the Rephlex era, \"Paranoia\", recorded around the time of his \"We Are DMX\" album in 1999. The closing track, however, is a previously released dub version borrowed from the Japan-exclusive, CD-only 2005 album \"Kiss Goodbye\", which Cold Blow has finally reissued on double LP.\nAs the hardest-working man in the industry, Ed hardly needs an introduction. For anyone newly discovering his music, Ed rose to prominence with his DMX Krew guise on Aphex Twin's legendary Rephlex Records in the 90s, where he released several albums and singles. He also goes by EDMX among many other aliases, and runs Breakin' Records, leaning more toward raw electro and bass. Ed tours the world continually and runs a monthly residency at Rinse.fm. His more recent notable releases include an EP on Peggy Gou's Gudu Records, an electro-funk remix for Warp's LoneLady, and a solo album Party Life on Permanent Vacation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cold Blow","offers":[{"title":"Black 12\"","offer_id":50944712966475,"sku":"2227531","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_aad7be32_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1733563020"},{"product_id":"braindancing","title":"Braindancing","description":"\u003cp\u003eFinland's DJ Lifegoals, Forehard and Larry Neverheard team up for a split 12\" of braindance inspired by the heyday of Rephlex records.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cold Blow","offers":[{"title":"Black 12\"","offer_id":50944713457995,"sku":"2227565","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_1f02956d_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1733563068"},{"product_id":"kiss-goodbye","title":"Kiss Goodbye","description":"\u003cp\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cold Blow","offers":[{"title":"Black LP.","offer_id":50946948727115,"sku":"2227534","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50946948628811,"sku":"2227530","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_539259bf_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1733601346"},{"product_id":"digital-dawn","title":"Digital Dawn","description":"\u003cp\u003eHalvtrak returns to Cold Blow with techno-romantic escapism, riding Chi House-leaning rhythms and intergalactic Techno sculptures. If his previous \"Images By Night\" dealt with things nocturnal, Digital Dawn opens the curtains to a blue-eyed retrofuturism, bursting with colour and spark.\nThe A-side shows Halvtrak at his most upbeat vibe to date. X-Pressed and Rhythm Overture teleport us on a nostalgia trip to the acid, rave and breakbeat era, re-imagined by an artist too young at the time but who parsed the ethos from the artefacts of its heyday.\nThe B-side throws a deeper counterbalance to the release. Born out of studies in the Chicago house tradition, Phase Distorshun checks into a turning point in time where disco influence was long abandoned and sights set into the unknown deep space.\nThe closing number, Doubt, does not relent on the 4-to-the-floor but turns the gaze inward, exploring our inner vulnerabilities while musically standing on the shoulders of New York-style house and the early UK-produced Detroit Techno a la B12, Stasis and the like.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cold Blow","offers":[{"title":"Black 12\"","offer_id":50950709870923,"sku":"2227553","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_fd4d22e7_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1733720153"},{"product_id":"the-jaffa-kid","title":"The Jaffa Kid","description":"\u003cp\u003eCold Blow is excited to announce an EP by The Jaffa Kid!
