The Units At Juno Download

Review: As a bonus to the recent and exhaustive remix collection of this legendary and pioneering '70s synth-punk band back catalogue, Opilec Music have collected a fresh set of versions of classics like "Cannibals", "High Pressure Days" and "Warm Moving Bodies" by producers such as Noia, Francesco Pistol, Tex and more. Well worth wallowing in all fifteen tracks - but our favourite so far has to be Daniele Baldelli & Marco Dionigi's faithful but also hugely radical dancefloor makeover.

Review: It's fair to say that Robsoul releases, while solid, don't always hit the mark. The fact that this one really delivers - and we mean, really delivers - is just as much about then unlikely source material as Phil Weeks" excellent remixes. "High Pressure Days", for example, was originally recorded by notorious San Fran punk band The Units in the early 80s. Here, Weeks turns it into a riotous, tribal jazz-house stomper that's sure to do damage on dancefloors this summer. The Dub, in particular, is ludicrously heavy. Weeks" version of "Heroin" by Italian live dance band Motel Connection is less revelatory, but still provides some satisfyingly plump late night grooves.
