Chiapet – Tick Tock

This has aged pretty well, and some all-star remixers were on board for this one. The two Ciafone mixes are good, but it's hard to tell the difference between the two. Very DJ Pierre-inspired stuff. This is a rare instance where the Weatherall remix is, arguably, the least interesting of the bunch. For me, the two Herbert remixes are the best tracks on here by miles -- I felt that way in 1999 and still feel that way 24 years later. He drops that huge drum sound with a quirky feel and funky samples. Excellent package overall.

I remember when I bought this from Homegrown records in Derry Northern Ireland, the guy behind the counter told me that not only is this release garbage, but you would clear a million floors with it. Pfffft

hahahah fucking love the reviews, so true this tune is a head fucking dope ass mf bomb track!

I have some questions about this release. In my copy, the "flip side" label doesn't read "Yoshitoshi" and the logo is the twisted/swirled one, like the one that shows on the first video on the list. Is it the same release?

It also appears in Ricardo Villalobos Essential Mix of BBC Radio 1 UK

Now here is some serious dope shit pressed over a heavyweight slab of vinyl! The first time i heard this was back in a 1996 DJ set by Danny Tenaglia @ Avalon, Boston where he rinsed the "War Of The World Mix", straight slammin' bomb! This can't ever be rivaled curated by a master of this genre John Ciafone! Play this loud on a proper sound system and you'll experience the "what the hell was that" feeling :) For those who know! Highly recommended piece of dope shit! This is Yoshitoshi's best release for me!

If you are here - you are on the right track. Listen
Tick tock (Apocalypse now mix) up to 9.27 and you'll understand.
John Ciafone is fuckin genius.

I have played this track from Paris to Berlin and the response is always the same lol WHAT THE HELL IS That

After first hearing this at the Yoshitoshi Shop back in '97 (or was it still Music Now then?), I was thrilled to death with the spatial arrangements of the pounding / pounding / pounding drums and the signature Ciafone trackiness. Then I heard it later on that summer played by one of the Wamdue Kids on a proper big sound system at the house room of some big Philly rave.. I have both the Yoshitoshi 12" and the Phonography 2x12" and the original mixes are just far superior...

Heaving, heavy harbingers of impending destruction, these tracks are supreme chuggers produced by John Ciafone of Mood II Swing.
Cut loud and pressed well.
Perfect record!
