The electronic disco pop tracks produced by legendary
Belgian band Telex between the late 70's and the mid-
80's has influenced numerous producers of house and
techno, espectially in the States. Through their
exclusive use of synths/vocoders and their stripped-
down beats, Telex rank among the forerunners of dance
music as we know it. Tracks such as 'Moskow Diskow'
have been genuine dancefloor and radio hits when they
came out, both in Europe and the USA, and seem as
relevant as ever in '98.
SSR and Detroit label Planet E joined forces to generate
a full album's worth of great Telex remixes, by the cream
of today's house/techno/electro producers, including
Deep Dish, Glenn Underground, Planet E boss Carl
Craig, Herbert, Ian O'Brien, Juan Atkins, Buckfunk 3000,
Jay Denham and more to be announced. SSR will also be
releasing in parallel a compilation album consisting of
Telex original gems.
Expect the first 12" from the Telex remix project to be
out soon. This first 12" will contain mixes from Carl
Craig and Jay Denham.
The full remix album will be released in August.
