DRANCE

LATEX LOVE (B-STOCK)

(SPOTLIGHT RECORDS)

Drance was a Los Angeles-based queer industrial dance band that emerged from within Silver Lake’s Club Fuck! scene between 1989-1992. Burning brightly in L.A during the AIDS crisis, their songs reflected an uneasiness toward disease and modern culture, a lust for the forbidden, and a raw desire and rage to stay alive on their own terms. “Latex Love” has been remastered for its first-ever release on vinyl. The track has been updated with a brilliant cover by Kris Baha, as well as a cracking remix from Spotlight’s Chris Cruse. The vinyl package includes an essay from artist (and Club Fuck! go-go dancer) Ron Athey, unpublished photos of the band by Michael Matson, and a reproduction of the original Drance sticker. This is the first release from Spotlight Records — an evolution of the infamous Spotlight parties in Los Angeles.

“Latex Love” has been remastered for its first release on vinyl, nearly 30 years later. The Instrumental Version was transferred from the original DAT tape used by the band for their live performances. Kris Baha’s inspired dub was re-made from the ground up. And this is the first official remix from Spotlight’s Chris Cruse. The vinyl record package includes never-before-seen photography from Michael Matson, an essay from Ron Athey, and a reproduction of the original Drance sticker.
