49th Floor – Zamani (Juan Atkins Remix)

49th Floor is a pseudonym for Stefano Curti from The True Underground Sound of Rome, originally applied to a sole 1992 release Night Passage. Vibraphone always do a fine job of folding time in on itself from these glory days of Italo house up to the present day, and so it feels natural for a new 49th Floor 12″ to arrive despite more than 30 years since the last one. ‘Zamani’ comes on four different versions which give plenty of options to deep diving DJs, from the full-spectrum, pad-soaked propulsion of the ‘Body Mix’ to the raw acid throwdown of the ‘Magic K Dub Remix’, a straight up dreamy ‘Deep Mix’ and swirling, splashy ‘Dub Mix’. The quality never dips, whichever twist in the tale you opt for.
