V.A. – Anti N.Y. EP 1 (12″)

Release: 10 September 2001
Cat#: Gomma 015

This ANTI NY – EP nr.1 is a teaser to the ANTI NY – album that will be released on CD & vinyl in late sept/ early okt 2001. ANTI NY is a collection of early 80ies music from New York’s folk-funk-punk-disco-hip hop underground with some fresh remixes:

The hole collection was compiled and arranged by Munich’s producer team MUNK. On the album there will be original music by JEAN – MICHEL BASQUIAT, RAMMELLZEE, KONK and other cool, folky & danceable tracks from the 80ies. Also reworks by SYRUP (COMPOST), FUNKSTÖRUNG, THE PSYCHONAUTS (MOWAX), MUNK and others.

This ANTI NY – ep features the maybe most dancable tune that FUNKSTÖRUNG ever did: They reworked N.C.R. by new york 80ies no wave band IKE YARD (Ike Yard later recorded as DOMINANTRIX and had a big hit with „Dominantrix sleeps tonight“)

Also on this 12inch: Hip Hop & Graffiti legend RAMMELLZEE with DEATH COMET CREW remixed by Munich based – Duo PROTEIN……. and the bomb: The ultrarare electrofunk track „if i gave you a party“ by the obscure american band SEXUAL HARRASSMENT.

Tracklist:
A1) Sexual Harrassment – If I Gave You A Party
B1) Death Comet Crew with Rammellzee – Exterior St (Protein Version)
B2) Ike Yard – NCR (Funkstörung Version)
