about

The latest madness from notorious RF label boss Rennie Foster is a raw, warehouse style, techno trance-funk builder that could bang in any era and fit into a dozen or more genres of dance music. The title track Pole Position is comprised of only a few basic elements pushed beyond their usual presentation for a remarkable and unique result. The track is somewhat like a punk attitude being applied to a rave environment and it is sure to be a cult favorite among Rennie's core following regardless of mainstream appeal.

The accompanying track Angelic Upstart also presents a trance inducing atmosphere but this time less aggressive and directed at the after hours morning floor that Rennie is often commanding as a DJ. Set on a bed of classic 303 acid and cinematic strings, the breakdown gives way to a Detroit style lead synth and the hypnotized congregation is immediately lifted up. The dance ritual is complete.

Remixes both come from the UK, the first being from Derek Carr a respected stalwart of the melodic underground sound. He takes the basic sound palette and tone of the original in a completely different direction with a broken beat and creates a breathy and beautiful slice of sophisticated electro dream pop. This version is sure to resonate with fans of Derek's work.

Going further north for the next remix, Auto City Sound bring a hardware punishing heater with the main pads of Pole Position getting absolutely tangled up in the pluck bass jack groove and rolling drum machine speaker fuel. There is definitely a nod to Detroit going on here, but with a primal and industrial house music knock as well. Pure underground mayhem. This desirable weapon is for heads only.

This is the final release in a series of three releases by Rennie Foster that feature artwork by Vancouver based artist and photographer Tomas Jirku.

The sound of RF, the label, is much like a Rennie Foster DJ set, a unique style that references several eras and genres, and yet remains completely distinct. RF pays homage to Detroit techno, Chicago house music, B-boy culture and all other subculture that fuels Rennie's rebellious and infamous presence in the underground. ... more
