To launch this new series, edits don Greg Wilson extends a somewhat forgotten
Italian cult club classic with a mad as toast title, which was originally issued
a decade before the term Italo Disco was coined. æPrisencolinensinainciusolÆ by
Adriano Celentano, with its relentless rhythm and horns, has been described as a
rap release before there was such a genre. This glorious oddity found favour
both on UK dancefloors and throughout Europe, following its release in 1973. It
was still a choice oldie when Wilson started out as a club DJ in Æ75, and he
would frequently play it, as a 7ö single, at his club residencies in New
Brighton, the Golden Guinea, the Chelsea Reach and the Penny Farthing , during
the following years.
Only recently, a TV recording of Celentano performing the track has brought it
to the attention of the YouTube generation, prompting major interest on
influential forums like DJ History and Faith (where it was retrospectively
proclaimed as Balearic Minimal Hip House!).
A prototype of WilsonÆs edit was first unleashed during one of his appearances
at ManchesterÆs massively influential Electric Chair (RIP) back in 2006. The
finished edit, titled æAdriano ItalianoÆ is already eagerly anticipated by the
underground DJ community and, as such, destined to become a groove anthem
throughout the summer of 2008, 35 years on from itÆs original release.
On the flip side of the 12ö is another 70Æs single, this time not so obscure.
æBlue Eyed BozÆ sees Wilson extend Boz ScaggsÆ super slick slice of smooth Soul
sophistication by an extra two and a half minutes to provide the 12ö version
that never was - the record only being issued on 7ö back in 1976 (becoming a
huge hit in the process). As with all the Ruff Edits, this is something Wilson
first put together for his own personal use, but would now like to share with
the wider DJ community.
