Emotional Rescue continues its quest to bring obscure, left of centre dance to a wider audience with a reissue of Adu’s reggae-pop song Burkina Faso, starting the next series of releases where the label teams up with DJ / producer for a series of reissues featuring their edit / mixes that add to and update the original for today’s dance floor.
While Rauf Adu would go on to have a minor Euro-hit with his supremely catchy Human To Human in 1985, his debut 7″ for Copasetic Records was a rawer, Reggae-Pop song inspired from his West African upbringing.
The last 5 years have seen the Isle Of Jura label go from strength to strength and has just been topped with the announcement of in-house project, Jura Soundsystem’s debut LP. The Adelaide based Brit, Kevin Griffith’s has been providing additional production, mixes and dubs for the his label since its inception and here he teams up with Emotional Rescue to present the first Jura Soundsystem remix.
