One of my treasured record digging finds. I found this at a small record fair in Tallinn Old Town, some eight years ago, which was happening at a nice and cozy venue called Hoov. The record was a bargain sale for 0.50€ cents. Hoov was an open space court with a small bar and stage, right in the middle of Old Town. It was a very special place, where many good events happened and there were always good people around. I was not living in Tallinn, so I never really got a good chance to check the place out in its busiest days. Nowadays, I think the place is a private property with its gates closed for those living in the renovated surrounding apartments.
This record is a very early Solid Groove (aka Switch aka Dave Taylor) production. He was really big around the first decade of the 2000s, then faded into obscurity. I don't think he is active anymore. There are some really neat Solid Groove remixes he did for other artists worth checking out (Magic Johnson 'Feel Alright' comes in mind!). Also, one of his biggest hit 'This Is Sick' (2005) is being thought by many as a forerunner for the outsider lo-fi house music which is really popular at the moment (artists like Huerco S, Anthony Naples, Rezzett, Terekke, Kassem Mosse, The Analogue Cops, DJ Haus, Patricia, Willie Burns, Florian Kupfer and many others...).
