A central theme in the life and work of the British DJ pioneer
Greg Wilson
, UK electro is a page turner. With the seminal
Street Sounds
compilation from 1984 being the beacon, there are still a few overlooked corners. "XXXO" by
Equip
is one of them. Originally intended to be part of said release and produced by Greg Wilson,
Martin Jackson
, and
Andy Connell
(like most of the comp), it was turned down at the time. Sounding like a like a proto-house template with a dash of
Klein & MBO
, it wasn't considered strong enough at the time, but found its way to the public as a one-sided 12" in 2006, it felt like a brand-new track as it perfectly correlated with the electro influenced underground dance music mainstream at the time (
Chicken Lips
et al.) Here it is again: remastered, rekindled, and unreduced cut to 45rpm. Pressed and released for the first time on this planet though are the "ICA Beats Pt 1" and "Pt 2". Intended to be backing tracks for a UK electro live appearance in August '84, they haven't seen the light of day until now. Both restored and re-edited with some help of label owner
Gerd Janson
, they are fierce examples of the sound at the time. Sitting between rhythm tracks and experimental drum machine compositions (and a short greeting from their creators' other project
Syncbeat
), it makes you wonder how one could have lived for so long without them. The history of the past enables you to dream of the future.
