WHAT THE D.J. NEWS INSERT HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE MEGAMIX ON THIS RELEASE:
Fashion is from England, and the group describes their music as American funk dressed up in a very English way. Salvator Jon Mulligan plays keyboards, synths and vocals, Dee "Dave" Harris does leads and guitar, Dik Davis plays the drums and Martin Recchi is on bass guitar. Zeus B. Held produced these secret "dub" versions of songs from recent and forthcoming Arista releases, which Valapucci has edited for you into a very unusual 18 minute set. "Fashionable Dubs" starts out with "Street Mechanek" at a brisk 135 BPM, with a bass drum reminescent of early Voyage cleaned up for the 1980s. There's a clip of "Dressed To Kill" which drum-rolls into "Mutant Move." A very spacey "Do You Wanna Make Love (At 5 a.m.)" concludes the set. Use the dubs separately or as a set to take them on a fast to sleeze trip.
