Research – Day By Day 12″ Vinyl

Paper Recordings are back to the wax with a heavyweight release, Day By Day by Research complete with a Psychemagik remix.

Research were a post punk, industrial jazz funk band who formed in the early 80s supporting bands such as Material and Pigbag as well as playing sessions for the BBC and Womad. They have released three still sought after albums Laws of Motion, Social Systems and The Perpetual City.

Recent interest in the band resulted in releases on Rong / DFA and Bearfunk. Their 2010 Reworks twelve-inch was awarded single of the week on Boomkat.

The Day By Day Dub is stripped back disco not disco that fuses live percussion, bass, guitars, drums, pads and vocals by Valerie Maxfield (Groove Armada / Freestylers) but with studio touches locking it down to a fierce groove. The tension builds until the Rhodes chords drop to give it some deep soul disco.

Psychemagik continue their purple patch with a floor heavy mix that mixes up disco and deep house but is all class. They retain the original elements but add stabs, pads and bass and completely re-arrange it for dance floor impact. Best buckle up for this one.

“PAPER GEMS’ LEFTSIDE WOBBLE DJ MIX

 

“Paper Music are currently riding high in the album charts with their Paper Cuts #1 compilation, a collection of their finest moments from the last five years or so. As some of you may know I provided the sleeve notes for the CD version of Paper Cut’s and in support of the release I thought it would be cool to go through my Paper Music collection and dig out a selection of my personal favourites from the first 10 years of the label (1993 – 2003). All the tracks in the mix can be purchased from Juno or from Paper directly and I’ve also included a link to the Paper Cuts compilation – just in case you haven’t already bought it. :)

Did you know that downloads now outsell CDs?

“The only emotional investment you make when you download an album is the decision to spend £7.99. I’d rather go to a shop; browse; realise I’ve chosen £50 worth of records, when I’ve only got £20 to spare; get my record out of the carrier bag on the bus home; wonder if I made the right choice; wait till everyone else has gone to bed; remove it from the sleeve; read the lyrics as the music plays; and immerse myself in a way that rarely happens with a download……..” – Pete Paphides Jun12
