Peaches Is A Maniac

We know our world wide DJ-community to be a bunch of attention seeking, overpaid slugs. Thanks to that profile, one modus operandi has become their easy way to success: the edit. Just grab a song that anybody loves anyway, straighten its beat, make it a little bit longer – there you go. Cash in, let your name be praised, get your piece of the pie. It’s become pretty easy these days. And dull.

Luckily, sometimes folks come up with honorable ways of re-interpreting classic material. Just like the ever unerring boys of Munich’s modern Disco institution Gomma Records. They recently teamed up with Burn Studios and picked some Disco-gems from Casablanca Records (one of the finest Disco- and Funk-labels of all time) backcatalogue and re-arranged and re-recorded them together with Peaches on vocals and even Harold Faltermeyer (yes, that fucking genius that came up with “Axel F.” for the “Beverly Hills Cop”-Soundtrack) adding to the production. They made a sweet four-track EP out of it that is both, a tribute to Disco-histories finest moments and a demonstration in production that couldn’t be more contemporary. Just have a try with their interpretation of Michael Sembellos “Maniac” and you’ll never play your whack “Video Games”-Edit ever again. Find all the rest, that‘s important here.
