Best of Superradio part 4

Radius continues its Superradio series with one of the deeper but bigger tracks from the Superradio catalogue. Every self-respecting disco dj has hammered this gem for years. 'Catch' by Sun La Shan. The best way to describe this track is to picture yourself Visage and Moroder working out together in a gym staring at a Blondie poster. 'Catch' is most definitely a seminal piece of work combining disco and new wave in a sexy and sleazy Molotov cocktail. The ep comes with a stripped down dub version and a Disco Devil remix. Also hailing from Gent, Belgium, where Radius is based, Disco Devil stayed quite close to the original vibe with minimal synth efficiency and equally sleazy vocals. Catch is sexy!

Feedback:

The Hacker: 9/10 i love this track, and the remix is very good !
Diepvries (flexx): surely one of the best italo-electro tracks EVER. original is the one for me!
John Selway: Great! of course the original "Catch" is untouchable, and this pressing sounds really great. The Disco Devil remix is solid and very good, it maintains the spirit of the original pretty well and will cross over to DJs that don't want to play the old stuff - but for me the original always wins!
Rob'n' Zoopsie (The Revolving Eyes, Moderne rec.): Nice to see 'catch' repressed more than 20 years after; surely one of the best italo song produced at that time! hats off, catch is sexy of course!
Jeroen TLR: hot reissue! its "catch" so this will work guaranteed!
Neil Thornton: disco devils keep up the good work with a very good version. very catchy and works well on the dancefloor. so once again a big thumbs up !!
DJ Humus: 8/10 the "disco devil" works the best in a set for me with the straight beat
Alexis le-tan: the og is a classic, one of the best italo's ever!!!
DJ Morpheus: i like this one esp. the disko devil rmx track

iDJ mag review by Jason Riley:
SUN LA SHAN
CATCH
Radius (Bel), RAD 018
More Superradio Italo-disco magic unearthed and reworked by Spacid and the Radius crew. This was originally released in 1982 and more recently appeared on Gianluca Pandullo's 'I-Robots' collection. A heavily android, overtly electronic track, it's not hard to see how tracks like this proved so influential on Serge, I-F, Alden Tyrell and the like. The dub version's included here, as is a new Disco Devil Mix. Stick with the originals, if you ask me.
