The latest work from "Clone Classic Cuts," the reissue line of veteran Dutch label 〈CLONE〉, shines a light on a turning point in North American dance music! A compilation of rare EPs by HAYDEN ANDRE BROWN and RON ALLEN, who ran 〈STROBE RECORDS〉, a key label of the Toronto house underground. Featuring HAYDEN ANDRE BROWN's "Tribal Life" (sample1), a hypnotic tribal groove beloved as a bridge in DJ sets, and KINGDOM COME's "Groovy Baby" (sample2), which sublimates the soulful energy of New York's golden age into something mellow and sensual — the Toronto underground sound, digesting influences from the US. Arrangements that haven't faded a bit even more than 30 years on. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
