Highly respected Brooklyn-based record store Archivio Records launches it's flagship label, with the help of legendary UK Tech House pioneer Affie Yusuf. This remarkable four track EP made up of previously unheard and unreleased gems, captured from DATs long thought lost during the mid-90s golden era of Swag Records, Wiggle, Surreal and co. Delivers four distinct tracks, perfectly curated to suit the mood of the most discerning dance floors, at any time of the night!'Uba Cuba' sees Affie transport you to pre-Revolution Havana, where the rum flowed and the good times rolled. A playful Latin-infused tech house roller, this track is guaranteed to put a smile on the face of everyone on the dance floor! For the first track under his Parkwalker alias, 'Pashtwo' is a decidedly deeper and darker excursion with a driving bassline, trippy vocals and a constant forward motion, perfect for those moments when you have the crowd really locked in. 'Urgez Untold', the second Parkwalker contribution to the EP is an airy, groovy journey designed for those after hours moments when the sunlight is creeping in and the crowd is ready to let it all go in the pursuit of euphoria. Hypnotic bass, ethereal synths and bouncy, tropical drums give this one a universal appeal and a timeless feel. Finally, 'Ode Reticular' is Affie Yusuf at his brilliant, inventive best, crafting an epic track with three distinct phases. Starting as a dubby minimal chugger before morphing in to a quirky, playful tech house roller, then final chapter sprinkles mystical progressive elements to take you to another dimension, without ever needing to lose your spot on the dance floor.An essential release for lovers of the early UK Tech house sound, seeking out undiscovered gems from the glory days of mid-90s London. With future releases featuring Mark Ambrose, Pure Science, Carl Finlow and more, this is a label to watch closely and collect religiously.Tracklisting:A1. Affie Yusuf - Uba Cuba A2.
