Description

In 2015 Especial celebrated the release of it’s 2nd compilation mix CD to highlight the recent music of the label , with another Sampler 12” of unreleased tracks, remixes and versions for the heads, collectors and discerning. 

Possibly falling between pillar and post, an audience does exist though and to celebrate that fact, a new mix CD - this time helmed by rising shipmates Khidja - is incoming. As before, “Junta” is a best of best from the previous 9 releases (EES011 - 019), plus a few special extras from our Romanian duo. 

To accompany the CD release, a Sampler EP again focuses on some unreleased gems, unheard versions and a special remix. We start with a remix from Khidja and their own take on the very special Masimbabele. Upon hearing a Remix EP was in the works, the duo begged for a go and rightly so, as here is possibly the best remix, with a dubby groover. 

This is followed by an unreleased cut by another, but not forgotten, combo. While C&A are M.I.A, here then is an extended rework of a stand out pop-ode taken from their underrated Migration album. On the flip is new member, Alphonse, taking his proto-rave-poem deep in to the echo chamber to create a unique dub that is very much for the smokers. 
Finally, Khidja offer the “original” version of Looki. An ambient version appeared in early 2015, but here, finally, with kick, bass and some wiggle, is their balearic masterpiece. Gracias Discos Especials !!
