Release Sheet
Rush Hour is proud to present a compilation of Anthony ‘Shake’ Shakir’s best work from his own Frictional label (and some choice output from 7th City) over the past 15 years. This limited edition 4x12” set comes with an exclusive two track 7” (only available with this pack). Released 2 months in advance of the 3CD/Digital formats…
The label Shake started brought us some of the deepest, funkiest and most diverse techno of it’s time and has been surprisingly overlooked by many. After a few years hiatus, Shake is now back and will be recording and releasing on Frictional again soon.
This compilation includes all of the classics like “Arise”, “Frictionalized”, “Get A Feeling”, “My Computer Is An Optimist” “The Floor Filler”, as well as an unreleased track “The Other One”. All tracks have been carefully re-mastered, breathing new life into the original recordings.
