INFO
DJ Hell's International Deejay Gigolo Imprint brings the debut album release from AustraliaÙs Kikumoto Allstars: HOUSE MUSIC!!! In t he spirit of the original Chicago Acid House of Marshall Jefferson, Larry Heard and Adonis, and with the intensity of modern dance, comes Kikumoto Allstars aka DJ/Producer Cam Farrar.

"The inspiration for this album came from th e original Chicago House from the mid 1980's. The tracks from this era have an i nnocence and purity that I felt was somewhat lost in modern electronic music. I wanted to capture all I loved about this music but put it in context with where we are today."

Kikumoto Allstars holds a candle to the original style of the thing we callÙHOUSE MUSIC!Ù This debut album is acid, is analogue, is he avy, is jacking, is melodic, is dark penetrating male vocals versus sexual femme vocales, is Bass... is here to make you move and not forget the pioneering root s that bought us all to the dancefloor.

Cam Farrar was first drawn t o electronic music when he saw Devo on Australian television in the early 1980's . As a teenager, inspired by punk and new wave, Farrar began his career in bands , hitting the skins and song writing. With the 90's dance music revolution under way Farrar was swept up. Australia was now experiencing its own halcyon days wit h warehouse and bush parties beating through the musical landscape.

O n IÙLL MAKE YOU JACK, we find " a song about dancing!. A bassline and drum machi ne, reminiscent of the old acid house trax of 1986-1987."
The aptly titled LAST TRAIN TO CHI TOWN is a good follow on from the Larry Heard inspired DCO, ta king the listener on a musical journey throug Mr. Fingers home town of Chicago. Layers of heavy chords and beautiful melodies, which were "improvised and record ed in one take that was quite a bizarre and magical moment. It reminds me of tra in travel watching the scenery flashing by, lost in the music, lost in my head.! Continuing the musical oddysey intgo SAGITARIUS, Kikumoto Allstars answer to Marshall Jefferson's Virgo. This one would be on high rotation if I were an astr onaut travelling to distant constellations."
EVERYBODY is basically the "sy nopsis of the album..." The bassline drives the whole track; Complete with authe ntic Fairlight orchestra stabs."
CAN'T STOP THE HOUSE, is an immediate cla ssic, featuring Fi-B Haven and lyrics from the 1987 Thompson & Lenoir track 'Can 't Stop the House' with some of my own. We love the track and thought it would b e cool re-introduce it to the world."
SHED is pure dark dancefloor material and "inspired by parties at the docklands in Melbourne, Australia when I was gr owing up. Nameless tracks, nameless people all smiling, all dancing to the beat of a drum."

Kikumoto Allstars and International Deejay Gigolo Record would like you to know that all"the tracks on this album were produced using th e analogue synth's and drum machines that defined the original house music - Rol and TR-909, TR-808, TR-707, SH-101, JX-8P, Juno range, and the TB-303 - paying h omage to the Roland Corporation's Tadao Kikumoto, the brains behind these now le gendary machines."
