2026 Reissue! Official re-releases of 80s synthwave cult classics that have been played by DJ HARVEY and others!
“Fire In My Heart” from Escape from New York, a 1984 cult classic of left-field disco and exotic synth-pop by vocalist Nigel Swanston—who would later become a key figure in the dawn of UK house and the rave scene—and synthesist Tim Cox. Narcissistic, dramatic, emotional. It’s a cult classic. A historic masterpiece. “Won’t Be Your Fool” is also utterly captivating. While it has circulated on numerous bootlegs over the years, it has now been officially reissued by Isle of Jura Records, the label run by Kevin Griffiths of Australia’s TSUBA.
