New Patrick Cowley 12" single Kickin' In! These songs show the sleazy side of Cowley�s slow burning, oozing electronic creations with layers and layers of synthesizer, guitar, drum machine and vocoder. TIP! In 2007 Honey Soundsystem was contacted by the former owner of Megatone Records John Hedges. Hedges� was moving to Palm Springs and invited us over to his basement to collect over 2,000 records from his collection. Among the archives we noticed three moldy boxes of quarter inch reel to reel tapes. Included was the final mixed down reel for �Kickin� In�, an epic 12-minute journey through disco, that Patrick recorded with Loverde in 1978. From the two minute plus drum solo that builds up to the introduction of a bouncing arpeggiated Prophet IV and the harmonized vocals, all transport the listener to another realm. The song encapsulates the Hi-NRG dance music that Patrick became known for. It was an �up� sound for the gay disco scene, music that would compliment and sometimes enhance all night dancing. On the flip are two earlier songs produced between 1975-77 featuring basslines by college classmate and studio mate Maurice Tani. Both songs feature Patrick narrating erotic gay sex fantasies inspired by San Francisco�s leather bars, back rooms and bathhouses.
