Jestofunk . I'm Gonna Love You .

Now that he 8th Anniversary is out of the way, let’s work our way through the next 8 years. As announced a couple of months ago we’ve started a brand new collaboration with Italy’s most seminal independent outfit Irma Records. While seminal labels like Kent for “traditional” soul and Acid Jazz’s forward thinking new approach on black music were taking the world by storm, in the late eighties a new italian record label set off to a brilliant future from the premises of a small record shop in Bologna by the hands of Umberto Damiani and his lifelong partner Massimo Benini. Those were the days of the seminal House Music productions and the idea of the two Maestros proved to be utmost right. White labels were relentlessly flowing from Uk to Italy both ways, and our Country expressed a generation of deejays, producers and bands who made their way to the best clubs around the world, from Miami to Ibiza, from sanctuaries like the Ministry of Sound to NY’s finest underground dance spots, further than keeping domestic clubbers busy with allnighters and after hours every weekend for the following twenty years. In the good company of other great international prime movers like Nuphonic and Ninja Tune just to name two, with the years Irma ventured into the then unknown territories of new funk, drum and bass, trip hop and chill out sounds eventually becoming home to glorious expressions of the italian creativity that made it to international lenghts by selling literally hundreds of thousands records and placing a so called “independent” label on the global map of dance music almost at the same level of the powerful majors, bringing it to establish uk and usa branches and being distributed from Alaska to New Zealand. These two Jestofunk songs hit the international charts and stayed on top of them for months but none of them ever saw the light of the day on a glorious single. Here’s where we come into the equation with our signature 7”/33rpm solid wax nuggets. 

A . I'm Gonna Love You

B . Straight To You
