The electronic disco pop tracks produced by legendary Belgian band Telex between the late 70's and the mid- 80's has influenced numerous producers of house and techno, espectially in the States. Through their exclusive use of synths/vocoders and their stripped- down beats, Telex rank among the forerunners of dance music as we know it. Tracks such as 'Moskow Diskow' have been genuine dancefloor and radio hits when they came out, both in Europe and the USA, and seem as relevant as ever in '98. SSR and Detroit label Planet E joined forces to generate a full album's worth of great Telex remixes, by the cream of today's house/techno/electro producers, including Deep Dish, Glenn Underground, Planet E boss Carl Craig, Herbert, Ian O'Brien, Juan Atkins, Buckfunk 3000, Jay Denham and more to be announced. SSR will also be releasing in parallel a compilation album consisting of Telex original gems. Expect the first 12" from the Telex remix project to be out soon. This first 12" will contain mixes from Carl Craig and Jay Denham. The full remix album will be released in August. -->-Lance--- p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states
