Resista returns after a lenghty hiatus and this one is an exceptional return from the edit label! Alphonse Rozel - the mystery alias of a well-known London-based producer - follows up his excellent 12” on London Housing Trust by digging deep for a couple of US-themed disco edits on Resista. On the A side, ‘Can’t Keep It’ is a chuggy afro groove with gospel vocals and amazing drops, binning the original’s intro and extending the last third’s instrumentation into a longer groove. On the flip, its Latin freestyle heaven as the sounds of Miami circa 1985 are reborn on the ‘Skate’ track, coming across as almost a lost Shep Pettibone dub. An energetic fusion of synthetic instrumentation and syncopated electro-based drums it brings back the sounds of the Cover Girls, Corina and Company B. Most of all, its pure disco fun!
