Following “Running Back Mastermix,” which featured Tony Humphries’ current mixes, “Kiss FM Zanzibar Years” spotlights his work from the late ’80s. Released simultaneously in 2CD and 3LP formats, a 12-inch version has also been pressed. Both are sourced from acetate masters stored in Tony Humphries’ private archive of previously unreleased material. It’s raw house that predates Theo Parrish. It’s absolutely fantastic when you can hit that sweet spot right before the boost kicks in.
Track List
Two lost cuts from the orbit of Tony Humphries surface at last, pulled straight from acetates in his private archive and pressed here for the first time. Unearthed like messages from the booth itself, they capture that raw, transitional moment when club music was still inventing its own language night after night.
On the A-side, Kerri Chandler with “Kerri Kaoz Beats”, a stripped, swinging tool full of basement pressure and early-morning intent. No excess, no compromise, just Kerri doing what Kerri does best. Flip it over for Dee Dee Brave – “My My Lover (Tony Humphries Dub)”, a previously unheard Humphries reconstruction that stretches the vocal into something deeper, moodier and unmistakably floor-ready. Spacious, patient, and quietly euphoric.
Two pieces of house history that never made it past the acetate stage until now. Not revisions, not edits, but originals finally stepping into the light. Essential documents from the roots that still point forward.

A-SIDE “Kerri Kaoz Beat” is a previously unreleased instrumental version of a raw house track that samples “The House Music Anthem (MOVE YOUR BODY),” inspired by the cool charm of Kerri Chandler’s early career. The B-SIDE is also produced by Kerri Chandler and marks the vinyl release of Tony Humphries’ previously unreleased acetate-only version of singer Dee Dee Brave’s “My My Lover,” originally released by Movin’ in 1990. While the original is fantastic, this version strips away the vocals and focuses on a dubby, stoic groove and keyboard work, making it another compelling example of early underground house.
