Never serving up anything less than essential and hugely interesting projects, next on the radar for Opilec Music is this classic Italo disco, Chicago house and techno leaning package from pioneers Klein & M.B.O. The exciting new package will be released on every wax freak's favourite day - April 19th aka Record Store Day 2014. ‘Last Call' is a demo track the label boss, I-Robots has had in his arsenal for 12 years. Previously released on the first I-Robots We Are Opilec V.A. compilation, the "demo track" now gets revisited by electronic greats I-Robots, Gene Hunt & Headman/Robi Insinna. Back in the 80s, influential DJ and record collector I-Robots was key in introducing the world to Italo disco and was always hugely inspired and influenced by the seminal Klein & M.B.O duo. 'Last Call' was originally written and produced by Alessandro & Davide Piatto (a member of the band N.O.I.A, Davide is the essential element that coproduced all the Klein & M.B.O. tracks including the De-Ja-Vu album in 1982 as well as many others.) The 'European Connection Unreleased Instrumental' mix of 'Last Call' is an electric bit of proto house and Italo disco with arpeggiated melodies shooting across its face, electro-like drums and a down and dirty bassline propping the whole thing up. Full of energy and bright lines, it's a truly feel good affair. I-Robots turns in two mixes, the first adds more reverb and reimagines the track as a slightly deeper, more late night affair, whilst the second adds more weight to the drums so they bang that bit harder, generating a truly jackin' Chicago vibe (Take II version was a highlight on the recent 'Balance EP'). Chicago and Trax legend Gene Hunt rebuilds the track in his 'Pleasure Dome Mix' from the bottom up making it a deeper, more surfing bit of house music with analogue percussion & spraying retro synth lines, this is a subtle shade of the original. His second version, the '2210 S Michigan Mix', is a more ragged affair where the pixelated synth lines shoot about like spirits in the night, the title is taken from the location of the last Music Box in Chicago where Gene Hunt and Ron Hardy played. Finally, Headman aka Robi Insinna has been producing for more than a decade on labels like Gomma and his own Relish imprint uses his remix to up the disco quotient: his synths shoot like lasers and the arpeggiated bassline rasps away at the centre of the track in all its glory. This is another tasteful package from Opilec Music that..
