This is the fifth volume in the Eskimo label's namesake Eskimo mix series. Eskimo Volume V is curated and compiled by top Belgian DJs, The Glimmers and continues the leftfield dancefloor assault that the pair's first release for Eskimo Recordings did in 2000. Now some seven years later, Eskimo has gone from strength to strength with mix CDs from Optimo, Ivan Smagghe, Headman, Prins Thomas, Radio Slave, Rub N Tug, Recloose, Chromeo and DJ Naughty. Much respected for compiling the highly-acclaimed Eskimo, Culture Club and Serie Noire mix albums as well as mix excursions for Fabric and !K7's DJ-Kicks, The Glimmers present another outstanding mix compilation as they return to their Eskimo roots. From gold-plated divas to tripped-out rock n' rollers and forgotten Euro-pop nuggets to world music stompers, The Glimmers show us how to dig a little bit deeper while still retaining the heartbeat of the dancefloor. Eskimo Volume V features 19 timeless tracks by such diverse names as Shirley Bassey, Primal Scream, Herb Alpert, LCD Soundsystem, Eugene Record, Trio, Tussle, The Caravan and The Glimmers themselves. This compilation comes in Eskimo's trademark unique luxury packaging, this time with a jewel case featuring a silk-screened print on both sides.

Title:	DJ-Kicks
Label:	STUD!O K7 (GERMANY)
Format:	CD

Catalog #:	K7 178CD

"The new DJ-Kicks album by The Glimmers (Mo Becha and David Fouquaert), once known as The Glimmer Twins, is a dizzying blend of disco, punk, funk, electro, & house. In their skilled and dextrous hands, disco no longer sucks and acid house's unparalled energy has been revitalised. Those with the inside skinny have long known this: for the last five years The Glimmers have been dance music's best kept secret, and, as such, its saviours in waiting. Disco is the main axis upon which these 18 tracks swing, but this is not the disco from Saturday Night Fever lore. In Hamilton Bohannon's 1979 classic, 'The Groove Machine'/ 'The Boogie Train' (exclusively re-edited by the Idjut Boys for this album), is a disco wholly suited to New York's famed Paradise Garage. On Rub 'N Tug's magical (again exclusive) re-edit of Chicago's 'I'm A Man', blues-y rock is re-born as hypnotic disco. Conversely, the first three tracks Bis's 'Shack Up,' Peaches 'Lovertits,' and Big Two Hundred's 'Approach & Pass With Contact' are examples of the nefarious new wave disco. Far from being the faceless and featureless linear DJ mixes of old, The Glimmers have invested their DJ-Kicks debut with a musical schizophrenia that would be certifiable if it weren't so goddamn funky. It's mixed up, but it's cohesive: it has its eyes on the future and it's heart in the past. It brings to mind the best works of Andy Weatherall, Derrick Carter and Trevor Jackson, yet has a unique charm that is all its very own. It is without doubt the best advert for freaky dancing in 2005." Features: Bis, Peaches, Big Two Hundred, Dirty Minds, The Lotterboys, Modern Romance, Kerri Chandler, Connie Case, Deepstate II, Ragtyme, Kaos, Impi, Hamilton, Bohannon, Two Lone Swordsmen, Magnetophone, Chicago.
