Disorient are pleased to announce the legimate version of the much hyped and bootlegged rework of the Inner City House Classic "Good Life". Originally thought to be a illegal remix of the Inner City anthem but unfolds to be a rework from Berlin techno baron Thomas Schumacher featuring the silky vocals of Japanese starlet Kaori.
In 1999 Japanese session singer to the likes of UFO and Jazztronik gave a demo tape of her cover version of "Good life" to Thomas Schumacher who was visting Japan. At that time Thomas was recording his second album "Electric Avenue" and he jumped at the opportunity to use Kaori's vocal to produce his own cover of this legendary cub anthem.
In the summer of 2000, Thomas was guest to play the "WIRE 2000" Festival which is the biggest Techno event in Japan. It was the first time Thomas played the tracks from the new album and the crowd of over 15,000 people went totally crazy when Kaori came out with "Good life" live on stage with Thomas.
Since then the track got bootlegged on the a white label EP entitled "Berlin Trax Vol 3" with Paul Hardcastle, and demand the this classy unusual mix has never stopped, finding it's way into the boxes of Deep Dish, Todd Terry, Giles Peterson (forthcoming on his new Trust the DJ comp), Doc Martin, Jazzanova, Danny Krivit, Pete Tong (playing on his Radio1 Miami broadcast) and even Kevin Saunderson has been closing his sets with this nuggett.
Currently Kaori is recording again with Thomas Schumacher on new material for his third album.
CD SINGLE INCLUDES BONUS TRACK "SOMETHING GROOVY"
After last summer's twist on the 'Inner City ' classic 'Good Life' from Japanese vocalist 'Kaori' via Berlins Thomas Schumacher . Summer 2003's seasonal remix come in two quite different shapes and size's.
First up Budapest's upcoming pair 'Crate Soul Brothers' other wise known as Keyser and Shuriken deliver a some spicey broken beat subass breaks over Kaori's delicate vocal with a breakdown pushing it to fever pitch level sounding like a blind date with Mr Oizo.
On the flip Japans last true rock hero Sero Muki slids into town , axe in hand and guns a blazing , for a air guitar bonanza. While the vocal gets put through the vocoder blender the breakdown comes in a mambo fashion then it's straight into the mosh pit one last time.
Not for the delicate palete. SUSHI44
