LoSoul

Back in 1996, Losoul’s first outing on the now legendary Playhouse label caused such a stir across Europe and the U.S that it ended up being licensed and reissued – with additional reworks – by labels in Detroit and the Netherlands. This double-pack from Running Back brings together Losoul’s original mix – a loopy, is-it-house-or-is-it-techno loop jam that cannily builds in intensity over the course of 11 and a half minutes – and two of the smartest revisions: Theo Parrish’s mesmerising, deep and hypnotic revision (one of his best, we’d argue) and Dutch producer Gerd’s jazzy, warm and sub-heavy shuffler. Also included is original B-side ‘00000000’, a fine slab of minimal house hypnotism, and the previously unreleased ‘D1’, a more laidback and stripped-back disco-house loop jam.
