With the seminal Street Sounds compilation from 1984 (please see Greg’s blog for the whole\u003cbr\u003estory) being the beacon, there are still a few overlooked corners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eXXXO by Equip is one of them. Originally intended to be part of said release and produced by Greg\u003cbr\u003eWilson, Martin Jackson and Andy Connell (like most of the comp), it was turned down at the time.\u003cbr\u003eSounding like a like a proto -house template with a dash of Klein and MBO, it wasn’t considered strong enough at the time, but found it’s way to the public as a one-sided 12“ in 2006, it felt like a brand-new track as it perfectly correlated with the electro influenced underground dance music mainstream at the time (Chicken Lips et al.). Here it is again: remastered, rekindled and unreduced cut to 45rpm. For full disclosure please see the liner notes on the back cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePressed and released for the first time on this planet though are the ICA Beats Pt 1 and Pt 2. Intended\u003cbr\u003eto be backing tracks for a UK Electro live appearance in August ́84, they haven’t seen the light of day\u003cbr\u003euntil now. Both Restored and re-edited with some help of label owner Gerd Janson, they are fierce\u003cbr\u003eexamples of the sound at the time. Sitting between rhythm tracks and experimental drum machine\u003cbr\u003ecompositions (and a short greeting from their creators’ other project Syncbeat), it makes you wonder\u003cbr\u003ehow one could have lived for so long without them. The history of the past enables you to dream of\u003cbr\u003ethe future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Running Back","offers":[{"title":"Black | 12\"","offer_id":50469603213643,"sku":"1165388","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/61a386c1-de72-49b0-917a-791736b74f0b_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727363971"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/equip.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
