Fuck The Government - F.T.G. N' Friends - Skylax

Skylax welcomes F.T.G., known to house music scholars as Freddy the Groove, and his many friends for our next release in 2014. Last year, F.T.G. and his Italian partner in crime, Marco Riff (who also appears on this very record), pressed a very limited run of a single-sided, special throwback tribute to the late 80s Chicago house music. The track was aptly named ‘Tribute ’89’, and it put a more dancefloor-oriented twist on a track by a certain originator with the initials R.H. Needless to say, it became highly sought-after incredibly quickly and fuel was further added to the fire by the repeated club play by none other than the DJ idol Ricardo Villalobos. Luckily for our followers, that original mix appears on this EP with another unreleased mix of the track and 2 originals featuring Belfie and Alex Tea alongside F.T.G.With enough said about ‘Tribute ‘89’ itself, the unreleased mix maintains the warehouse vibe with a heavy kick and bouncing bass pattern but takes it to another level with the introduction of rolling vocal cuts and a rather ravey synth line. Flipping over the to B-side, we are treated with two tracks by F.T.G. and Alex Tea, named ‘Public Enemy’ and ‘Bango’, with the former also seeing Belfie lend a helping hand in the production. Both of these originals round out the record nicely and cement it as another Skylax release that is definitely not to be missed.

As played by the likes of mr Villalobos..
