Description
Celebrating 30 years of Far Out Recordings, Azymuth's biggest club track from their groundbreaking 1979 album Light As A Feather is reissued on 12" vinyl, in its full length unedited form.
When it was originally released, Azymuth's disco fusion worldwide hit "Jazz Carnival" stayed in the UK top twenty for eight straight weeks. It was used as the theme music for national broadcasts in Italy and even made it onto Top Of The Pops in the UK. Since then the track has become a mainstay for disco, house, and eclectic DJs like Kerri Chandler, Floating Points, Four Tet, Mr Scruff, Gilles Peterson, Dan Snaith and Danilo Plessow.
First released in 2012, the 10 minute, original full length unedited mix of Jazz Carnival sold out immediately and has become Azymuth's most in demand dance weapon to date. On the B side, Ashley Beedle and Yam Who? teamed up to rework Azymuth's 1979 proto house classic for the 21st century, which made the record even more sought after still.
The vinyl DJs have been nagging us to bring this 12" back for over a decade. So for our 30th anniversary, we thought we'd finally do it!
The 12" vinyl of Jazz Carnival (Original Full Length Unedited Mix) will be available as a limited Record Store Day 2024 vinyl release via Far Out Recordings.
