about

Well its been a while but amongst the many studio sessions of working on other artists releases as well as lots of video & visual creating we are pleased to shout that our very own Sprechen CEO Chris Massey aka 'Massey' has found the time to drop his 3rd release on the label with 'It's Stretford, Not Berghain'.

Inside My Head sees the mutant disco flags flying high with a twisted Italo synth bass melody of epic throbbing proportions partnered up with the squelchiest of ear worm style synth stabs that goes truly into head mess territory. A proper 2am, peak time serotonin spanker that sounds like Roman Flügel Geht's Noch? having a session with Fad Gadget.

Named after the legendary party spot in South Manchester (if you know then you know), Gnome Terrace sees Massey step into jacking house territory with an initial deeper journey that features some suitably cosmic-esque strings & synth work form the legend that is Dan Wainwright! Oh and it all explodes in a massive hands aloft piano breakdown for a hefty dose of 'wooooowweeeeee!'

Full props & love to Richie V from Supernature for coming up with the E.P. name on this one, drop us a line or buy us a beer and we'll tell you how it came about.

Given the quality of Peza's music it didn't take much convincing to subscribe. Every track on this is a belter - 'Our Lips Are Sealed' is nothing short of genius and shows a genuine love for the original (which is one of my favourite FB3 tracks) Esteban (Black Light Disco)
