GPM 800EP
|
This is another vital instalment of Get Physical Music's classic reissue series, which is now scheduled for a vinyl release. It features a track first released in 1994 and was also part of DJ Pierre's Wild Pitch: The Story album back in 2017. It comes with an Emmanuel Satie edit of the Ricardo Villalobos Dub and a stellar remix from South Africa's Jazzuelle, first released in 2017. DJ Pierre's name is forever synonymous with house music, particularly the acid sound he pioneered in the '80s. Staying true to the underground since then, he's consistently released vital tracks, innovated with his Wild Pitch style and now his Afro Acid label. Pierre continues to push boundaries with each new outing while this reissue proves that his earliest works are still some of house music's best ever. "What is House Muzik" is an almost 10-minute masterpiece that's perfectly designed for gritty warehouse spaces and comes complete with an anthemic vocal monologue. It's dark and distorted with monstrous kicks and oversized hi-hats, a frazzled lead synth line and a marching groove that is lit up with strobe-lit details to get hands in the air. The original also comes alongside an acapella version. Next up comes an edit from melodic master Emmanuel Satie, who takes Fellow Ricardo Villalobos's epic 36-minute "What Is Dub" version and splices it into a floor-friendly and perfectly paced seven-and-a-half-minute edit. Originally dropping in 2015, it now sees its way onto vinyl for the first time. Finally, South Africa electronic production don Jazzuelle drops a remix that lives up to its name with a dive into the deeper realms of acid.

GPM 287EP
|
This release pays homage to DJ Pierre's contribution to the worldwide dance community with Ricardo Villalobos' remix of that most iconic of tracks, 1994's "What Is House Muzik." His 32-minute remix is split over two sides, with 16 minutes on each side, enough time to ruminate on that now almost metaphysical question: what, indeed, is house music? Here's Villalobos' answer, complete with bubbling rhythms and bone-dry kicks. DJ Pierre describes the importance of this release: "...people are trying to re-discover house music and people in positions like myself have the responsibility of teaching... the true essence of house music."

GIGOLO 232EP
|
Here we have three different mixes of DJ Pierre's "I've Lost Control" -- the original WildPiTcHMix mix is heavy analog designed for only the loudest speakers. Glenn Underground's Old School Re-rub takes you back to the Music Box in Chicago and into the record boxes of pioneers, and the Spastic Meltdown mix is like the history of house in one little package. DJ Pierre is a force to be reckoned with and this new record furthers his legendary status.
