Catalogue ID: BEWITH167LP
Format: Vinyl
LP - 140g Black Vinyl. First time ever official vinyl reissue (2025 remastered reissue).
A massive speaker-smashing reissue, decades overdue. It's been bootlegged - shamefully so, many times over the years - but finally Be With present the first ever officially licensed reissue of this truly special Afro-disco-not-disco LP from 1979.
Featuring Wally Badarou and Sauveur Mallia (Arpadys, Spatial and Co), it's a favourite of Harvey, Antal, Young Marco and every great DJ to ever play deep records ever. Uniquely fire music from the islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique, it's a thrilling synthesis of primal, hypnotic drums, synth pyrotechnics and bass power.
You'd be hard pressed to even find an original copy in nice condition anywhere, let alone for a reasonable price, so it's high time a remastered reissue came around. It's just the latest in a long line of Be With reissues where the music sounds like the - drop-dead dazzling - cover. This here is a true drum attack. Buy on Sight.
