Review: 20 years of a career as DJs and producers, PBR Streetgang, hailing from Leeds, have curated a retrospective collection. This anthology features their celebrated early hits, timeless classics, rare gems, and favorite remixes for other artists, some of which have never been released before. The tracks here guarantee an electrifying party experience, with noteworthy entries such as their breakthrough single 'J2THAB,' which samples James Brown, the pulsating Italo-nu-disco fusion 'Late Night Party Line,' the squelchy acid-disco number 'NHN,' a remarkable dub-disco rendition of Bryan Ferry's 'One Night Stand,' and their legendary 'secret weapon' - a minimal, funk-inspired remix of Romathony's 'Bring You Up.'
Review: Take it back to the mid-20-teens and Newcastle Upon Tyne's Man Power, aka Geoff Kirkwood, was only just getting out of bed. With early releases on Jennifer Cardini's Correspondent and later John Talabot's Hivern Discs, Man Power has taken it all the way through ESP Institute, Optimo Trax and Throne Of Blood to Skint, DFA and of course the project's home label, Me Me Me. With a spotlight over three years of remix work that sees Me Me Me lift a selection of remixes made over Bryan Ferry to Daniele Baldelli & DJ Rocca, Man Power takes it back to the roots with a rework of Woolf vs Projections and Tronik Youth! With the heaviness of Man Power's remix to Ess O Ess a highlight too, expect a touch of acid, EBM, Italo and kosmische inspirations woven in and around bustling drum machines, analog synths and plenty of Man Power.
