ROBERT ARMANI 'CIRCUS BELLS 2002' Artist: ROBERT ARMANI Title: CIRCUS BELLS 2002 Label: URBAN SUBSTANCE Format: 12" Catalogue No.: USR-08 Release: 16/09/02 Distribution: INTEGRALE TRACKLIST: A: CIRCUS BELLS (STROBE LIGHT MIX) B1: CIRCUS BELLS (STRAIGHT EDGE MIX) B2 CIRCUS BELLS (REMASTERED) When you put the words "Chicago" and "Techno" together, one man's name springs to mind: Robert Armani! This Southside Jackmaster has been a techno staple for the last decade and his discography puts him in a league all of his own. He set a blueprint with his signature tough percussion, which was first aired on 'Ambulance' and 'Circus Bells'. It is the latter track that has gone on to become one of the biggest classic Techno / House records of all time. After being remixed by numerous other artists, including the legendary Hardfloor reworking, Robert felt it was time to give it his own updated interpretation. Having released for labels such as Dance Mania, ACV, Dust Traxx, Djax-Up-Beats, and his own High Octane as well as Urban Substance, carrying out remixes of JB3 (Joey Beltram), Paul Johnson, Dave Clarke, Blake Baxter, Armando, and even Gary Numan, Armani's production is world renowned and in demand. It is on Urban Substance Records that he has chosen to release 2 new versions of 'Circus Bells', with the warehouse sounding 'StrobeLight mix' and the more minimal 'Straight Edge mix'. Besides the 2 new mixes, label owner Oliver Way decided to include the original, but opted to speed it up from 123BPM to 130 BPM - making it more playable in 2002. The original has also been cleaned up (hence the title: 'Circus Bells Remastered') to bring it back to its true sounding tough Chi-Town groove. Carl Cox has been playing the new mix to huge reactions, and has been quick to support it: "I have been playing this to death, it's great to see this track come back with so much energy and power it's hard not to dance to this new mix. Enjoy!!" (Carl Cox, July 2002) Armani hits back - hard! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
