Samples of house music from the ’80s and ’90s, including NELSHOUSE Featuring FFWD 4’s “House Jam” (1990) and LEMS’s “Don’t Kill the Elephants” (1989)! A collection of defiant edit house tracks, featuring short, cut-up, and collaged pieces brimming with mischievous playfulness. This is the second release from RUFFIANI, the new unit formed by 〈TOY TONICS〉 mainstays SAM RUFFILLO and FIMIANI. Once again, it’s vinyl-only!
Track List
RUFFIANI—the buzzworthy edit project that caused a huge stir with its debut release, which dangerously sampled Italo and synth-pop tracks like 883’s “Sei Un Mito”—is back with a new release! From “ClassicOne”—which incorporates LIBERACE voice samples familiar from his work with DE LA SOUL and DJ PREMIER—to “Save The Elephants,” a reimagining of the Afro-house track “Don’t Kill the Elephants” known for its distinctive vocal phrases, this is a party bomb that stitches together fragmented samples and reconstructs them within the context of the modern club scene!
