Swiss label, Mental Groove Records have just unleashed their brand new offering, which is a superb collection of some highlights from the early days of Sheffield's legendary Ozone Recordings.
"It would be fair to say that this snapshot of Ozone Recordings’ excitement-packed back catalogue is well overdue. The Sheffield-based imprint’s contribution to British dance music’s creative boom of the late 1980s and early ‘90s has long been overlooked, with much more focus naturally falling on the Steel City’s other key imprint of the period, Warp Records. (...) Looking back, they offer a good snapshot of the time, just as this tighter, more stripped-down compilation of highlights does." - Matt Anniss
This quality release is one more Vinyl that should be added to your collection. It includes some proper Acid House from the late days of 1989 (by Count Zero and Success) a tradermark of a bleeps & bass track like 'New Age Technlology' by the self titled act evoking the first days of 90s with its futuristic vibe. Finally worth to emphasize on the 'For This II' by Trak 1, taking Techno to the next level with some sampling wisdom of hip hop and rave aesthetics.
This release contains extra words by Matt Anniss, author of the highly recommended 'Join The Future' book and all of the tracks have been remastered by Rob Gordon a local hero known of his act, Forgemasters. This 6-track EP is available on digital and limited trioxygen blue Vinyl edition featuring the infamous The Designers Republic logo.
Available to purchase now and make sure to act fast cos there's only a few Vinyls left on the Bandcamp.
