AD 009EP
|
2023 repress. This is the one! The legendary Gemini 12" that has been pushing Discogs prices up to £250 for years. One of the enigmatic producer's more obscure releases, Gemini's Get Down EP showcases some bumpy electronics on the title track, then rolls out some of his signature bassline and moody stabs on "A Tight Grip". The B-side sees the great man flip a disco sample with some spiky percussion on "Turn Da Music", and back to some classic Gemini beeps and noises on "Ca". This is one reissue you don't want to miss. Profits from this release will go directly to Spencer Kincy.

The story of Gemini aka Spencer Kincy, one of Chicago's most mysterious and revered characters, has become something of a myth in recent years. Blazing a trail throughout the '90s, prolifically releasing over 200 tracks from 1994 to 1999, Kincy had shades of innovation and soul few of his peers could match. Then, suddenly, at the peak of his career, he disappeared. Gemini's most complete and varied album is 1997's Imagine-a-Nation, originally released on the Cajual sublabel Relief Records. You know the music -- every track is on YouTube, and expensive original pressings are available on Discogs -- but here it is in its fully remastered glory! Rumors and gossip of Kincy's whereabouts and situation have been rife in the music press, and rarely on the money. Kincy is alive and well at the time of this release, and wants his music to be heard. This album has been licensed directly from him, and the money made from its exploitation will go directly to him.

"Spencer Kincy was a giant in Chicago's house music revival -- part of the second wave of younger DJs and producers that took the music of the early 1980s, rubbed it up and dropped it in places like 500 West Cermak, Medusa's and the Vault. A lot of people who are now superstars of the scene -- Mark Farina, Sneak, Derrick Carter, and dozens of others -- were a part of that movement, too. Spencer released a number of tracks on Relief, Planet E, Cajual, Peace Frog -- labels representing the classics of that era -- and he usually recorded under the name Gemini. As a DJ, he operated in his own space -- I'm sure he could play for a room, and sometimes did, but the unrestrained madness of a Spencer Kincy DJ set had to be heard over several hours to appreciate. He could blend a sleazy disco track into hard acid, downtempo into a punishing Armani track, jazz into Detroit techno and so on. It wasn't technically brilliant or tricky, but the selection was exquisite. A number of figures from his era still list him as an influence. His productions, viewed as a whole, are so much like his sets: going softer than many dared to go, and going much harder than just about any dared to go. Simple jack tracks! Respected by the standards of the industry of the time, and you certainly couldn't go anywhere in Chicago without hearing Derrick, Sneak, Mark, Lego, Gene, Jevon, Diz, Johnny or the other DJs beating them. And so many of them have a timelessness -- a little piece of eternity stuck like some bit of wax between the grooves."
