Talc - De Gui Ding (The Reflex Re-Visions) '2022

Tracks list

       Wah Wah 45s hail the much anticipated return of one of their most beloved
artists. Way back in 2006, the label first unleashed the anthemic “Modern
Sleepover” by two man, smooth music loving outfit Talc. The song - an ode
to a tortured love affair between a computer and its owner - with its shades of
Zapp, Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers - found favour with Djs and tastemakers
from across the board from Bill Brewster to Gilles Peterson. Such was the cult
status of the tune, that it spawned a sequel, naturally entitled “Modern
Sleepover Pt.2: Robot’s Return” which has recently had something of
a renaissance thanks to an inclusion by legendary Detroit DJ and producer
Moodymann on his “DJ Kicks” compilation.

Sixteen years and two albums later, and having seemingly put the project to bed
for good, Talc (much like the robot) return for one final and very special
release. This brand new 12”, as well as featuring the sought after
“Modern Sleepover” pairing together on vinyl for the first
time, also includes the rarely heard Michel Legrand cover “De Gui
Ding”, previously only available in Japan (where Talc enjoyed a huge
underground fanbase) as well as two stunning remixes from our old friend, The
Reflex.

The Frenchman was the obvious choice to rework Legrand’s 1964 camp jazz
classic, and on his first mix delivers an uplifting disco friendly, vocal led
take that should raise a few smiles on the dancefloor. His second mix is more of
a late night affair with more of a deep, dubbier, house feel. Something for
everyone then on this essential release, complete with gorgeous artwork from our
award winning in-house designer Animisiewasz.
