Classic Classic Chapter 03 / Various [LP] Vinyl Record

The third and final volume of Classic's 30th Anniversary vinyl series brings the party full circle - blending deep catalog cuts, future-forward house, and tracks from the label's tight-knit family of collaborators. Like the volumes before it, this 2x12' release arrives in a raw reverse board outer sleeve, a nod to the aesthetic of Classic's earliest releases. Inside, bold yellow and red GMUND card stock inner sleeves with embossed detailing reflect the label's long-standing commitment to design, artistry, and collectability. Record One kicks off with a certified Classic family affair. Home & Garden's 'Sexuality... He's 2 Young' features the unmistakable voice of DJ Colette, a staple of Classic's early era. Included here is JT Donaldson's Porno Beat Down Remix-a stripped, low-slung rework with an irresistibly funky bass line and pure dance floor chemistry. Brett Johnson's 'Jiffy Pop', from his legendary 'Bounce!' EP, follows up with a jittery, swaggering groove that epitomizes Brett's playful, funk-laced production style. Infectious, weird, and entirely unforgettable. On the flip, Tiefschwarz's 'Acid Soul' delivers a moody, muscular roller. Originally released during their prolific run on Classic in the early 2000s, it fuses baritone sax stabs, a Berlin-borne bass line, and a sultry vocal into a deeply spiritual house cut. Roy Davis Jr. Closes Side B with the propulsive 'About Love' (Solid Groove Remix)-a tough and driving interpretation by Dave Taylor that's long been a DJ favorite in the Classic vaults. Record Two showcases Classic's more recent sonic evolutions. JT Donaldson's return to the label in 2019 came with 'Stay Inside', a rich and breezy groove featuring the soulful voice of LIV. e. It's an elegant and understated slice of modern house with timeless appeal. Then comes Dam Swindle's funk-charged 'Hey Mister'. A punchy, bass-driven jam built around a 70s reggae-disco vocal sample. Raw and infectious, it's been lighting up dance floors worldwide since it's release. Luke Solomon's catalog on Classic is vast, but 'Come on Over', his collaboration with Amp Fiddler, earns it's place here. Seeing vinyl release for the first time, this cut overflows with musicality. Amp's passionate vocal, free-time breakdowns, and deep funk grooves deliver pure emotional punch. And to close, a modern masterpiece: Honey Dijon's 'Work' (Extended Mix), taken from her 'Black Girl Magic' LP. Featuring Dave Giles II, Cor. Ece, and Mike Dunn, this powerhouse track brings together fierce vocal performances, live instrumentation, and top-tier production. It embodies everything Classic stands for: collaboration and innovation on the dance floor. Tracklisting:A1. Home & Garden ft. Collette - Sexuality... He's 2 Young (JT's Porno Beat Down Remix) A2.
