Retrospective - Re:Selected 1990-2022
Fila Brazillia are set to release âRetrospective Redux 90 â 22â, an up-to-date collection that encompasses their wide ranging output. From pioneering psychedelic beats in the early 90s through to subaqueous house, downtempo deliciousness, rustic funk, and deranged disco in the current day; the neoteric duoâs healthy lack of reverence to scene and industry pressures has resulted in this enthrallingly fluid compendium of the past 30 years of electronic music.
Formed in Hull in 1990 by Steve Cobby and David McSherry, their early releases on Pork Recordings (also based in Hull), included albums âOld Codes New Chaosâ, âMaim That Tuneâ, âMessâ, âBlack Market Gardeningâ âLuck Be a Weirdo Tonightâ and âPower Clownâ. After creating their own label Twentythree Records they released further albums âA Touch Of Clothâ, âJump Leadsâ, âThe Life And Times Of Phoebus Brumalâ and âDicksâ.
They quietly called time on Fila Brazillia with the release of an original âRetrospectiveâ compilation in 2006. McSherry became a lecturer in Sound and Music Production at the University of Lincoln and Cobby has released several solo and collaborative projects. The duo reformed in March 2020 with the release of âMMXXâ EP and a reissue of their debut single âMermaidsâ was released by Gerd Jansonâs Running Back label last year.
With Fila Brazilliaâs original albums highly sought after on vinyl â regularly changing hands for three figures on Discogs â this updated âRetrospectiveâ also includes previously digital only tracks âMadame Le Fevreâ and âNeanderthalâ along with an exclusive new composition âToro De Fuegoâ.
David McSherry explains, âThis retrospective separates Filaâs output into four distinct periods: the early Pork Recordings era, where youâd find us hunkered over a sampler and an Atari; the latter Pork chapter, when we were based in Stunk Dusty, further expanding the FB sound away from any pigeon-holes; the 23 Records period where we developed the live band approach to take on the road, and, finally; the post-Hull years with us working mostly remotely.â Steve Cobby adds âAll the tracks have been remastered from the original DATs with a brand new tune âToro De Fuegoâ commissioned purely for the releaseâ.
[[Selling Points]]- Available on Standard Black Vinyl and on CD

- Featuring exclusive new composition, âToro De Fuegoâ!
