* “I can remember literally bolting across a busy warehouse party in the early 90's (I think it was actually DIY in Gloucester?) after hearing a record come on which immediately stood out to me, hadn't heard it before…. A clear 303 single note bassline/hook with sublime strings and undeniable flavours of Detroit and Chicago in the drums and vibe. I needed to know what it was!!

That record was "Northern Lights" by Caucasian Boy (AKA Crispin J Glover and David Jenkins, AKA DJ Shakra), and I have honestly been playing it ever since. Fast forward 28 years, and here we are releasing their new acid house monster, the Remote Control EP”
Justin Harris

Remote Control immediately puts you back in the warehouse or one of those dark, sweaty basement parties which have shaped many musical educations over the decades, you know, when things are just starting to get really involved! Beginning with a relentless 90's feel and with more than a nod to early 90's Belgian Techno, Remote Control steers you through a perfect six and a half minutes of heads down warehouse acid groove, all culminating in a kick-ass gorgeous breakdown.

And then there's Dystopia. A deep, dark 909 driven cut of excellence. You can hear in every bar that the purveyors of this track have a deep experience of and are driven to write for the dance floor. Once again, making perfect use of 303, 909 and 808 (amongst others) Dystopia pulls no punches and shamelessly leads you right into the middle of that sweaty dancefloor, and it's perfectly executed delivery keeps you right there.

* VITAL SALES POINTS:

• Remote Control EP delivers the same production quality as CAUCASIAN BOY’s classic singles, Spangle and Northern Lights.

• Northern Lights was originally released on Crispin’s own Matrix imprint before being snapped up by Strictly Rhythm Records just as the legendary New York label was heading into its most creative era back in 1993. It characterised the second wave of acid house that came out of Germany and the Low Countries in the early 90s and alongside Chicago classics like Phuture’s We Are Phuture and Fast Eddie’s Acid Thunder, it stands as one of the finest melodic deep acid tracks ever made.

• Glover went on to become a major house producer during the 1990s, recording further Caucasian Boy projects for Strictly Rhythm as well as releasing tracks with Junior Boy’s Own, Paper Recordings, King St, Wall Of Sound, NRK, Back To Basics, Pagan, SoundProof, Heartbeat, DIY and Sunday Best, under an array of artist names including Babyrock, Caucasian Boy, Crime, House Of Labasia, South Central, Stash, Boogie Buffet, Century Falls, Good Guys, Laj Gloves, Motif, New Chapters In Funk, Sleaze, and Stryker
