About this item

Fragments of cult classic dance tracks sent through the sonic prism to create fresh cut and paste hybrid tracks, The Emanations acts as a production vessel for Greg Wilson and son, Ché.Their remix partnership has seen numerous releases in recent years, most notably their epic take on 'Love And Hate In A Different Time' by Gabriels for Parlophone); their two Heavenly Records remixes for Melbourne group Confidence Man, 'Out The Window' and 'Does It Make You Feel Good'; and the current 'Loose Fit' mix for the Happy Mondays on London Records.

We don't speak lighly when we say this is an incredible release. Greg and Che have created an instantly timeless modern disco classic. Warm, infectious, soul rousing, groovy and with just the right touches of finesse without being overtly flamboyant. One of those tracks that'll catch you off guard, and have you incessantly wiggling to it's fiery conclusion.

"Rumrunner" is another stroke of genius. Taking the bassline from "Keep That Fire Burning", The Emanations add gilded vocoder lines, warm pads, futuristic sfx and slick guitar chops; reigniting this instantly familiar groove with a sophisticated modernity most DJs and dancers are gonna go absolutely ape shit for.

Do NOT sleep on this one I urge you!

Proceeds of the record go to Danielle Moore Foundation, which will be set up by her family soon.
