Don Carlos

Alone - 2024 Reissue

“this is the one I want at my final farewell, couldn’t find a better way of saying my final goodbye”

“Italian music for the soul. life affirming”

“one of the greatest house tunes ever. bliss”

These are just some of the laudatory comments about "Alone" on YouTube.

Recorded by the near mythical Don Carlos (Carlo Troja) in 1991 in the middle of Italian house fever it was instantly acclaimed as a classic.

Its dreamscape appeal has proved timeless and the enduring demand makes it perfect for Anorax (#eatsleepcollect) to release on limited edition 10” single.

The original masters have been supplied by IRMA Records to ensure top notch sound quality as befits such an iconic gem.

"Alone" was obviously inspired by Detroit and Chicago emotions, which Carlo assimilated into his own so elegant and very Italian masterpiece. Beguiling pads, beautiful chords, synth glides, a killer bass line, piano and those strings - magnifico!

Italian house music for the body & the soul.

TRACK LISTING

A. Alone (Paradise Mix)
B. Alone (Flute Mix) 

The fledgling Anorax label keeps to its’ #eatsleepcollect mantra by releasing this much loved and in-demand iconic work of beauty for the first time ever on vinyl. It’s stating the obvious to say that "Decide" is a top tier soulful house BOMB! The combination of Jay-J’s precise but haunting San Francisco production, Big Brooklyn Red’s life affirming vocals and the truly awesome remixes from the late Ethan White (R.I.P) together conjure up a masterpiece that defines the genre.

The remixes from Ethan, the co-founder and keyboard player of Tortured Soul have up till now only been available on digital release. Jay-J (Joseph John Hernandez) dug into his Shifted Music vaults to come up with the original 2009/ masters for this limited edition 7” release.

"Decide" is an affirmation who believes that true house music is a spiritual thing.

PS - Look out for a blinding, 10" reissue of the Italian Dream House epic by Don Carlos - "Alone" - also due soon on the label! 

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Anorax is proving to be one hell of a reissue label for fans of deep house and disco. Two essential releases in and another in the pipeline from Don Carlos, I've bagged every one and can attest for nice, rich, clean pressings of these bona fide classics. Hope they continue the good work!

Drizabone

Pressure - Inc. Nu-Solution AKA Roger Sanchez Remix)

The brand new Anorax label’s mantra is #eatsleepcollect - which makes its’ debut release right on point.

Drizabone’s anthemic “Pressure” has become a huge collectors want, with appeal to modern soul fans, northern soul followers and house addicts via the much loved Roger Sanchez remix.

Drizabone burst on to a dazzling British soul scene in the early 1990’s, following the footsteps of Soul II Soul and Loose Ends, rubbing shoulders with the likes of The Brand New Heavies as UK acts laid down their own distinctive soul DNA.

After debuting with “Real Love” which went from a mystery white label to a chart smash, Drizabone went on to record the iconic “Conspiracy” album.

“Pressure” has endured like fine wine and is now hailed as an all time classic.

Anorax present the very in-demand original backed with Roger Sanchez’s Nu-Solution remix on limited edition 7 inch single.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Wow. Just when you thought the best bits of 90s soul had been done and dusted, Anorax go and excavate this tear-jerking MONSTER. Roger Sanchez gets in on a super swung garage house remix too. Absolutely killer!
